Dixie Lee Dinner - Monteagle

Very unique place. The moment we walked in I wanted to take pictures of everything. Someone took a lot of time and effort to make this place nostalgic and it shows. I would rate 5 stars but I unfortunately had to take one away due to how long the wait was. They had one waitress and one cook so I kind of understand and in this world it's hard to get employees. They were super short staffed. The food was good and decently priced but we waited a good 45 mins for food and at the time we were the only people they were preparing food, we had 5 people. The waitress did apologize for me getting my food late, most of my family had eaten before I got mine because as the waitress admitted she forgot to put my order it. She was nice enough to take it off the bill, even though we told her we would pay for it. It was really good. She was a doll and I felt bad for her not having any help. I do though highly recommend checking this place out!

Wonderfully decorated, nostalgic diner! The food was excellent and fairly priced. The double bacon cheeseburger was tasty, but the patties were a bit smaller than your typical burger. The lunch special was chicken enchiladas with rice and a creamed corn. I was impressed with the plating of the dish, not typical for a dinner. Our server Tammi was very friendly and checked on us. Will be coming back to try their breakfast.

Very cozy authentic place and friendly staff. It was a wise stop during the road trip. Homemade salad, beans, burger... Everything was great except steak (abit overcooked). But it could not spoil the pleasant impression and atmosphere. Highly recommend as a place for rest!

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Way more than you'd expect from a freestanding building in the back lot of a gas station. Food was fine. Just okay. Great greasy spoon diner food would have gotten 5 stars, but it was ... just fine.

Service was awesome, beautiful smiling face and pleasant attitude. Breakfast is not served after 11 am, menu does not state that. After several attempts of ordering different items, they were out of a few things, certain items affected more than one choice of food item) Prime rib was exceptional! I got a salad with their home made ranch, which was very good. The rolls were also delicious and the huge baked potato loaded) had mozzarella cheese and strips of bacon. If dessert is your thing, they have a wonderfully delicious strawberry cake and several pies to choose from. Atmosphere was great, had a old diner feel. Not too busy for a Saturday afternoon.
