i got a text today asking if i wanted to do lunch. When i asked where, the reply was, "it's a food place...I think...but we might turn around and leave once we get there."
As we are driving down that road that goes by the new runway of the airport, i see a sign for Dixie's Grill to the right. It seemed to be directing us to a place where you would not expect an eating establishment, but there it was. It doesn't look like much and really it isn't much. But they have a grill and a nice little menu with friendly folks working. On Thursday they just happened to have the BBQ sandwich on special with fries and a tea for $4.95.
It was pretty good stuff.
The 'grocery' items are sparse and while i expected to see Pepsi cans with the old school packaging and not the throwback version, i was pleasantly surprised to find the new 1st degree Doritos. Of note, they do have a walk in beer cooler. From a glance, you will find little if any outside of the domestic standards.
Not so much a destination eatery, but if you live out in West Charlotte, they served a pretty good meal. With my expectations based on appearance and location, this place turned out to be a gem.
