Best burger and best chicken sandwich $20 can buy. I believe this is the best cheeseburger you can get anywhere, however they are $15. With a drink and fries you are at over $20. Worth a try, but can't go here every day.

Was excited to try out this local establishment after recently moving to the area. Then they got hit hard during Hurricane Florence and closed for repairs. They finally reopened and we got to try it out. Very friendly staff and quick service at very affordable prices. It's your typical local neighborhood grill, the only one in this area. It's also a limited grocery store with your essentials bread and milk, plus the other essentials, motor oil and other vehicle fluids. It's nice to have a little gem like this so close by for when we need a quick and cheap bite to eat. The food wasn't bad at all and hit the spot, it's made to order right behind the counter and brought out to you. You can call ahead for pickup or eat in. They have sweet and non-sweet ice tea on the bar and drink coolers for your other needs, stocked with soda, juice, beer. Expect classic diner flavors with the classic diner service, quick and friendly. Happy we tried it out and it will definitely be one of our go tos.

It's been 55 years since I was here last so time for an update. Back in the day, I lived in the Steele Creek neighborhood near one of the Seven Sisters, the Presby churches that were established in Meck County. The Steele Creek Presby building remains off Hiway 160 but the congregation has relocated. The CLT airport has taken over this area. They adding longer runways and expanding the airport. Steele Creek neighborhood has come under 'eminent domain'. This place is a legacy to those bygone days. In the same building and location over 70 years. I stopped in today to get some lunch. I probably should have called it in because when I got there at 1230p the place was packed, no seats available and everyone picking-up 'to go' orders. They are only open during the week and shut down the kitchen at 3p. Very popular with all the area work crews and airport area workers. Each day of the week they have a 'special' so today I got the cheeseburger that comes with a side and a beverage for $11.00 bucks. It was real good, not amazing but 'real good' is legit. The fries were real good too. Menu is extensive and the prices are very reasonable for the food quality and portion size. Fancy, no, gravel parking lot, yes, call in orders, yes, clean, yes, organized, YES! The phone didn't stop ringing when I was there. In the parking lot was Duke Power work trucks, next to Pike work trucks and all kinds of construction work trucks. It's a throw back place that has managed to survive in an area off I-485 that has exploded in growth over the years and next to CLT Airport that keeps on getting bigger as well as other support type business. I'm not sure where the 'grocery' part comes in but they sell beers by the case and tall boy singles so maybe that's the grocery part. Go check it out before it gets gone!

1st time visitor. Had an appointment off Dixie River Road and saw Dixie Grill. It was lunch time and thought.... Let's give it a try. It's a hidden secret in Charlotte. I had the chicken sandwich with onion rings and iced tea. The sandwich was excellent. I got more onion rings than I could eat and they were also delicious. The iced tea was sweetened just right. They also have unsweetened. I'd recommend and look forward to returning. Hope to take my wife there soon. I want to try their hamburger. I'd recommend.

A DELICIOUS hidden gem! Went for lunch around 1pm, and even though it was empty, we were greeted immediately, and the waitress was super friendly and efficient. This diner is a grocery store as well and had a few drink items as well as household goods to purchase. As expected, the food was amazing! We ordered a Philly double patty cheeseburger, crispy chicken sandwich, and a double chili dog. The fries were the best. Warm and crispy and never took a bite from a soggy fry. It does give a back in the day vibe, but when I tell you these spots are always the best, they truly are. We will definitely be back and try other things from their menu. It's definitely a great lunch spot. They have parking right in the front, I can see there being limited spaces during rush hour, but nothing bad that should deter you from coming.
