Dixie’s Drive-In — Restaurant in Ansted

My new favorite place for softserve ice cream. Today was the first time we visited, and unfortunately for us, this is the last weekend for the 2023 season. Can't wait for next year's opening. If you get a chance to stop by tomorrow, do it. I would have posted a pic of my ice cream cone, but I was excited to try it out, I forgot to take a pic. Might go back tomorrow to try them out again. If not, I'll be sure to post one next season.

Followed up with ice cream and an order of Funnel Fries. The fries are addictive, use caution (lol). If you are in the area or you are looking for somewhere to go for a drive, consider Ansted and stopping in at Dixie's for a bite to eat. You'll be happy you did.

NOTE: Dixie's has outdoor seating and walk up window...

Once food is done they bring it out the side door for you. They forgot one of our dogs, but once I let them know, they apologized and made it fairly quick. We liked the hot dogs themselves and buns, which they butter and grill, unfortunately none of us liked their chili. It's a very sweet chili, not sure if this is a taste of the area, but we all scooped it off the dogs. Fries and rings were good. We then went back and ordered some ice cream, then gave us our sons cone for free, so they went way out of their way to make their error correct. Super nice people! They even brought our dog Lucy a cup of...

Staff was friendly, kind, and informative (from out of state). Got chicken tenders combo and 2 hotdogs. Loved the buns on the hotdogs. Unfortunately, when we finished and went to get ice cream, they were out of vanilla. We got a small chocolate cone... it tasted like a Wendy's frosty back in the early 2000s! Bathroom was clean and so were the picnic style tables.

We will definitely be back next time we...
