If you haven't Dixie Picnic'd you are soooo missing out! So, yes it's near a DMV, but hear me out! Unlike the lines waiting to get an ID, this is totally worth it. Great food, very quick service, order in outstation or online, and an upcake yes an upcake a the most delicious finisher ever. Definitely worth the try if you are passing by, but be warned It'll quickly turn into an out of the way regular kind of spot!Side Quest: Order a Thanksgiving Box, then come back and love/like this review!read more

Dixie Picnic hands down, has THE BEST scratch made food I have EVER had IN MY LIFE! EVERYTHING is made in house, from scratch and is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I love their New England Clam Chowder, no matter how hot or cold the weather is outside! Their upcakes are sinfully delicious and I WILL be coming back in the future to try some more made from scratch food! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place if you are getting your driver's license renewed at the nearby DMV, or if you want to celebrate getting your permit or license.read more

I came in planning to order a chicken salad sandwich since it was recommended by several friends, but when I arrived and saw the hot sandwich options, I couldn’t resist ordering the Shrimp Po’boy. I am from New Orleans and had a hankering for a taste of home. It did not disappoint!The shrimp had been breaded in a well-seasoned batter, cooked to perfection, then drizzled with an authentic remoulade. It was served open faced atop fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and sliced pickles. Mmm.Although the bread was a little different than the typical french bread which is crunchy on the outside and soft and airy on the inside, this bread was soft and white all around with a little cornmeal on the bottom. The bread was honestly heavenly and I think anything you put on it would be delicious! I want to go back and see if they sell the poboy rolls individually for the next time I host a party and serve any sort of sandwiches.I would also love if they added an option to add extra shrimp to the sandwich for an extra charge because, really, they were so good you are gonna want more.Bon appettit! (Just make sure you come during the week and before 2pm because, if you show up on a weekend, like I did previously, you’ll be disappointed)read more

WOW that's all I could say with each and every bite from Bette's lunch box, sooo so so delicious and jam packed for all your craving needs. I couldn't even believe how much food was condensed in such a crafty way. This is how lunches should be! Let's start; The sandwich which was chicken salad was just down right mouthwatering, best chicken salad sandwich ever hands down. The potato salad was not what I expected with a nice salty/vinegar/oil/cream base instead of a too creamy base like it usually is made but this way was much better made, remastered IMO. The deviled egg was a very intriguing addition to the meal, nice little snack before digging in! And finally the upcake which was a lemon zest, it brought the zest alright! No need to make lemonade with your lemons just make these 😄! Staff is also a pleasure!! Southern hospitality is still alive and thriving here at Dixie's! Thank you y'all!!!read more

This place makes the best sandwiches in a Chester County by FAR. The quality is always consistent, and service is incredibly fast - even when ordering via DoorDash. Prices are exemplary for the amount of food you get, which is just over the perfect amount (no complaints here, DP leftovers slap). I’ve had the BLT, pulled pork with Brie, roast beef and turkey sandwiches so far along with a variety of upcake flavors and all were delicious. I’d rather have a Dixie Picnic roast beef sandwich than Arby’s!!read more

Fantastic new discovery for me. Wanted to grab lunch after a meeting before I drive to the airport to pick up someone.This place is some serious homespun southern comfort.Boxed Lunches, Pimento Cheese Sandwiches, Deviled Eggs, "Upcakes" and fresh baked bread and rolls. I was in heaven.Here you order and pay at the counter and they call your name. Plenty of self serve seating or take your goodies home.I ordered the Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwich Box Lunch. House Roasted Turkey, Stuffing, Whole Cranberry Sauce and mayo on house baked Sally Lunn Roll. Comes with a choice of sides, deviled egg and an Upcake.This meal was simply fantastic!Oh...Yes....The Upcakes are tender, moist upside down cupcakes iced on the sides and bottom....MORE ICING PER CAKE!Southern geniuses at Dixie Picnic.Bought an assorted half dozen Upcakes and a warm loaf of house made multi grain bread to take home.I cannot wait to come back.read more

We had Dixie Picnic career our daughter’s baptism party. Everyone received individual boxes lunches. We cannot thank Dixie Picnic enough for the care they took taking our order (checking spelling for the names on the boxes, triple checking the individual orders), and also the for tasty food they provided. Our guests were absolutely blown away by the deliciousness of their individual boxes and of the upcakes! The boxed lunches made our social distancing party even easier since everyone had their own self-contained meal and did not need to eat from communal sides or trays. The entire process was seamless, and we look forward to having Dixie Picnic cater again! Thank you so much!!read more

Fun upcakes (upside down cupcake so you can get more frosting!)- so many flavors. A great thing to buy and take to a friend or to work- everyone will undoubtedly enjoy them! You can get take-out and order online or by calling. They serve both breakfast and lunch. Many sweet and savory choices for breakfast. Habe great boxed lunched that come with a sandwich, a side and an upcake!read more

Their sticky bun French toast is delicious. My friends had grilled cheese and burrito which was also good. Pancakes nothing out of the blue. Upcake is just too hyped about. It just either a chocolate or a yellow cake topped with different icings according to flavors. Wished their cake would also have been according to flavorToo priced for the portion that they giveread more

The BBQ is as good as I've had it in North Carolina. The bun is tasty, fluffy and sopps up the sauce quite well!

I like their vegetarian sandwich and their upcakes! The portion is huge and tasty! It can get very crowded at times! They offer a deviled egg as a side, i wish there was a vegetarian substitution for that! Their side of pasta salad is bland! But overall would definitely recommend this place !read more

Located in Malvern, PA, this little franchise restaurant is a gold mine tucked in a little strip mall who's character and southern charm is so big that they have to have an outside seating area. The food was wonderful, the employees went out of their way to please us, and the story behind the business makes you want to come back again and again. I ordered the Bette's Boxed Lunch with the roast beef and provolone sandwich, on Sally Lunn bread. (Picture a hamburger bun, sheet cake style, cut in triangles.) . It comes with a deviled egg, and I chose the potato salad for my side, which was topped with a sweet pickle, and the peach "upcake" for my dessert. Washed the whole thing down with a Coca-Cola, and I was stuffed to the gills. I grew up loving PA Dutch cooking, but this southern stuff is a close second. "Momma wisely taught her daughters at an early age to learn to bake, knowing they'd need more than good looks to get them a husband". Love that! read more

Love this place on every way. Turkey harvest panini is incredible. Breakfast is bonkers good.

Ordered daily special, a messy but delicious cheeseburger. Customers are in and out quickly and air conditioning doesn't quite cope on hot days. But it is worth it. Come before noon and there is no waiting.read more

You have to respect a diner that makes their own jelly.I thought it was a little suspect that each topping you want in your omelet is individually charged, but I got mine with bacon and cheese and the bacon was big meaty bites and they didn't skimp on the cheese. Hot gooey, and full of flavor.Despite being a 90 minute drive from where I live, my wife and I left planning to come back to the area sometime just so we could eat there again.read more

Best of the Best 2016
For lunch, get a box lunch (sandwich, side, deviled egg and upcake). The Thanksgiving sandwich, nutty chicken salad and Georgia BBQ smoked pork elicit raves and nostalgia. Well now, there’s a picnic in every bite.

Baked fresh daily in-house, its Upcakes are cupcakes turned upside down and frosted all over. We can’t get enough of the coconut-covered devil’s food or the lemon-frosted yellow cake.

Close to work, great for meeting friends for lunch, fresh delicious food. You can get a fast lunch but it’s not “fast food.”

[The Barbeque Pork] had just the right amount of vinegar to provide a sharp retort to the molasses-like thick sweetness.

Whenever I decide to dine at Dixie Picnic I always know that what I order will be consistently excellent. Once again, this held true at my last visit. And there’s nothing quite like topping off my lunch with a lemon upcake!!!
– Michelle D –
Pulled pork rich and tasty, Box lunches are a priced well deal, pasta salad or potato side always fresh, lemonade addictive, salads large etc., etc. oh the bread and rolls always fresh….AND OF COURSE THE CRAB CAKE is FABULOUS!!!

Why the name
“Dixie Picnic”?
Food – even bread – is done on site. Virginia baked ham box lunch with potato salad like Mom made is the real deal. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. Great experience.

I love Dixie Picnic and when my workplace needed a lunch caterer for a Friday lunch, I recommended Dixie Picnic box lunches and unsurprisingly they were a huge hit! Everyone thought they were the best out of the catered lunches we had all summer.

I was on the go, so ordered one of my favorites, the Box Lunch Chicken salad sandwich…I was thrilled that it was delivered in minutes and then on my way to office for a very late lunch.
