This restaurant is located in the Holiday Inn Intercontinental Airport. We were starving and came right down after checking in. My wife and I ordered The Burger with steak fries. Food came out quickly and tasted great. They were cooked to order, and the service was excellent. This location is highly recommended!
Great restaurant in the Holiday Inn. Be careful with Google Maps as it will send you to a closed entrance, forcing you to circle the block to enter. Food was great, service was attentive. A little pricey with a small menu, but I enjoyed my meal.
Blue Dixie Bar and Grill is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere—a perfect blend of classy charm and Southern hospitality. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve found your new favorite spot the second you step through the door. For the appetizer, I had the brisket-loaded potato skins, and let me tell you, they were heavenly. The combination of tender, smoky brisket with gooey cheese and perfectly crisp potato skins was a match made in culinary paradise. It was the kind of dish you don’t want to share—but it’s so good you’ll want everyone to try it. For my entrée, I went with the bourbon citrus salmon, which was cooked to perfection. The salmon was moist, flaky, and packed with flavor, and the bourbon citrus glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Served alongside fluffy rice and fresh, vibrant vegetables, the dish felt both indulgent and wholesome. I couldn’t resist finishing the meal with the hot fudge brownie, topped with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel. The brownie was rich, decadent, and just the right amount of fudgy, while the ice cream and caramel added a luscious sweetness that tied everything together beautifully. The drinks deserve their own spotlight. The bar selection is impressive, with something for everyone, but the margarita I had was easily one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Perfectly balanced, with just the right kick, it was the ideal complement to the meal. The service at Blue Dixie is what truly sets it apart. The staff was friendly, efficient, and full of personality, making the experience all the more enjoyable. They made sure every detail was perfect without being overbearing—a fine balance that’s hard to find. If you’re looking for a place with phenomenal food, expertly crafted drinks, and a welcoming yet refined vibe, Blue Dixie Bar and Grill should be at the top of your list. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s an experience. Can’t wait to return!
We tried the Blue Dixie Bar & Grill for both breakfast and dinner while staying at the Holiday Inn and absolutely loved it! For dinner, I highly recommend the Mexican Mule cocktail, the chicken quesadillas (they are HUGE & delish) and the blackened shrimp flatbread (the shrimp on this are 10/10!) For the breakfast buffet, I highly recommend the omelette station, the potato wedges, the fresh fruit and the cranberry juice! I also really liked that kids eat free here when you are a hotel guest and have a paid adult meal.
We visit this place atleast once a year and they never dissapoint! Ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken and it came out quick. However our waiter put it down as Chicken Fried Steak instead of Chicken. Not a problem...let him know and they quickly corrected that. Regardless of which you order, portion size is great! Wife ordered the Chicken Sandwich with cheese and was just to her liking. My oldest ordered the Buffalo Wings and the seasoning was good. Not to strong, not to weak. Overall we had a great dining experience. Highly recommended.

Loved this restaurant super convenient being connected to the hotel. I also spoke with Ms. Trashanna she knew the menu well and was very accommodating . Will definitely return .
I had seen some mixed reviews on Google Maps before visiting Blue Dixie Kitchen, so I went in with my guard up. However, once I arrived, my experience was actually very positive. I went during a slower hour, so there were not many people in the restaurant. There was only one employee working behind the bar, handling both the bar service and the tables. Even though she was the only one working, she was hustling and doing a great job making sure everyone was taken care of. I ordered the steak, and it came out exactly as I requested. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh and flavorful. The French fries also stood out because they tasted freshly cut rather than frozen, which I really appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience at Blue Dixie Kitchen. I can understand that if it were busier and only one person was working, it might not be quite as smooth. But for my visit, everything was on point, and I would definitely recommend checking it out.
