"Put some South in yo' mouth!" So says local restaurateur Ed Wary, whose mainland travels prompted a craving for the down-home cooking he tasted in America's heartland. Thus he opened Dixie Grill on Ward Avenue. Now with a sister location in Pearl Harbor, this casual joint brings Southern cooking to the islands in a red-and-white tablecloth atmosphere, complete with twinkle lights and a shockingly turquoise painted fence. Whether it's the vinegary style of the Carolinas, the cayenne and celery seed flavors of Kansas City, or the sweet ketchup-like sauce of Memphis, Dixie does barbecue right no matter your regional preference. There's even a Hawaiian version, mixing mango, guava and chiles in a sweet-hot sauce. Beyond barbecued pork shoulder and baby back ribs, there's fried catfish and Dungeness crab. Share with friends the Trash Can Buffet for a sampling of all of the above, or try The Bar-B-Que Burger, which tops a juicy burger patty with pulled pork and melted cheddar cheese for a different kind of holy matrimony. A supporting cast of traditional fixings includes home-style favorites such as coleslaw, collard greens, corn on the cob and hush puppies. House-made desserts showcase heaven on Southern earth with Tennessee Jack Daniel's chocolate mousse pie, Georgia peach cobbler and Florida Key lime pie. And where else but Dixie Grill on Oahu could you order a mai tai and a tall glass of sweet tea from the same menu? Look for the Bar-B-Que Fest every September. Kids menu. Serving lunch and dinner daily. Sat–Sun brunch served 10 am–2 pm.
