Dixie Diner — Restaurant in Smithsburg

My family and I have been going to Dixie diner once a week or every other week for the last several months. We've experienced a problem each time we've gone and thought to try again. Tonight just killed it for us. The server was not particularly pleasant and you could tell she didn't want to be there. It took a while for us to even give our drink order and menus. Our last visit we were given the wrong food and out of kindness just accepted it.

My boys said "best grilled cheese sandwiches ever."

So if you're camping in the Catoctin Mountains, or being presidential at Camp David, but want a friendly environment with comfort food, you can't go wrong...

My experience makes me laugh. It's one of the best place to go and get a great meal at a reasonable price. I was introduced to Dixie's by my now husband. I was famish and he stopped and said this place had great food. I was so livid that he would bring me to a hole in the wall, I called it. When we got inside and I saw the cozy, home like atmosphere, I started to cool my heels. When I saw the menu, I started feeling hopefully. When the food came; I became awed. I crave Dixie's, and go when we can. I'm not in Smithburg, but my husband and I got for those good home cooked meals. I...
