| - Patience, my friends. The food is great. Whenever a new restaurant opens in Tega Cay, it seems everyone in town descends on it. However, this usually causes a long wait for anything.
I am really excited to have a Dixie Pig location closer to my home. The space is so much larger than Rock Hill and the outdoor area will be nice in warm weather. The food still is the same high quality as the other location. I love that they added some menu items to this location including seafood. I tried two of these items. We started with the jalapeno pimento cheese dip. It comes with pork skins for dipping. This was great. There was a nice kick to the dip, but not overly spicy. And for a bbq place, love the fact pork skins are the vessel for dip. For my main dish, I tried the shrimp salad sandwich. It was good, but not very big. By the time our food arrived I was starving and I wish I had ordered a dinner instead of a sandwich. I was hoping for more of a kick of spice in the shrimp salad but didn't find it. I liked the toasted bun it came on and the creaminess of the salad. I got my favorite side of black-eyed peas and collards. The Pig still does the best job at this dish.
Now it was a Saturday and new business to the area, but we spent about two hours there. Our server was working his butt off and I was patient, but it was hard waiting. We also had to grab several servers walking by for refills. Our server and someone else both stopped by to let us know what was going on and apologized for the delay. Apparently the kitchen got backed up because a large to go order was wrong and the kitchen had to redo it. I understand this kind of thing happens, but I was hoping something quick to make like hushpuppies or fries would be brought to our table, which never happened. Thank goodness we had that appetizer. I still love the food, but hope Dixie Pig can cut down the food wait time.
Be patient and give Dixie Pig a try. I'll be back and hope to update my review to reflect the experience I know they are capable of.
