About Dixie Lee
From our family to yours, be our guest.
When you are in a hurry, but your taste buds want fresh, locally and responsibly sourced, fried-to-a-light-golden-crisp fried chicken with a taste that you will know is uniquely different, you will love Dixie Lee Fried Chicken. Our custom-made equipment, proprietary recipes, and methods for crafting our meals deliver the exceptional Dixie Lee taste. Since 1964, we at Dixie Lee have shared our belief that amazing food brings people and families together.
What began in Belleville, Ontario as a small takeout restaurant with the desire to share great food that made people feel good, and to be able to do it quickly, has now expanded into an international brand with over 100 locations, and new locations opening up soon in Texas and New York.
When you visit one of our locations, you will notice the Dixie Lee difference right away. No matter which location you visit, you can be confident that you will receive the same all-out friendly treatment befitting Southern kindness and hospitality. To Dixie Lee, you are more than a customer; you are our guest. It is this thinking that drives our quality standards so high. When customers taste our food, they can immediately sense that we care.
Our fresh, premium chicken is hand-breaded in-house by specially trained team members who fry each piece using our unique frying system in natural fats. So, when you want fried chicken, but you want something healthier, Dixie Lee Fried Chicken is the way to go. In fact, our team members are trained to deliver to each guest crispy fried chicken that is juicy, loaded with flavor, yet not greasy.
There is no need for fried chicken to leave a greasy mess on your plate or your fingers. Dixie Lee Fried Chicken gives you the delicious fried-chicken taste you crave.
And you cannot have fried chicken without coleslaw, right? Custom made coleslaw, with just simple and wholesome ingredients, where you do not have to worry about putting something in your body with ingredients you cannot pronounce. Our chicken breast sandwiches and chicken strips are all freshly prepared from real white meat, not something artificially created. Our buffalo wings are dusted in our famous Dixie Lee spices and then tossed in sauces ranging in heats from Mild, Medium, Hot, and ATOMIC if you dare.
If you are looking for something other than chicken, we serve refreshing wraps, french fries, and macaroni salad. And do not forget about our famous Poutine. You can round out your meal with a soft drink, milk, juice, or water.
