Welcome To The Dixie Grill!
Call a day early to reserve your Homemade Pie.
We specialize in comfort cuisine: big breakfasts, soul food lunch, and amazing sandwiches. Robbie Thomas aka Chef Boy RT has created some fun on the menu taking traditional favorites and adding a little flair here and there. The result is a blend of contemporary cuisine infused with traditional southern ingredients he calls New South Cuisine.
Our restaurant is available for private events: weddings, business lunches, dinners, cocktail receptions, and more. We would love to discuss how to be a part of your next event. We have a private dining room available for you any evening. We have expanded our catering business and are happy to serve you through our new business, Relish Catering. If you are looking for full service catering at the next level, look no further!
Our Story
The Dixie Grill is a full service Southern restaurant, established in 1959 by Mr. & Mrs. Wade and has become a landmark in Live Oak. Charles and Myra began their restaurant careers in 1984, but have recently retired from the business. Robbie & Rebecca have taken over the daily operations. Robbie has handed over the kitchen to the Award Winning Chef (& beautiful wife) Rebecca Thomas. Rebecca is a graduate of Johnson & Wales Culinary School in Miami. She worked at MC Kitchen under Executive Chef Dena Marino and Sous Chef Victor Torro. She has used her knowledge, training, and passion to push Dixie Grill & her husband to new heights. Robbie has taken the role of General Manager. Pushing boundaries has always been his thing. The husband and wife team just like his parents are mavericks too, taking on new and exciting business ventures. Together they are investing in the staff to create a Dixie Grill with elevated cuisine and service.
Put some South in your mouth.
