2005 'ILIMA AWARD WINNER - BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT

In the 10th anniversary year of the 'Ilima Awards, these are the restaurants that turned the heads of our readers and our in-house food experts.



BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT
Dixie Grill

K, so it ain't Memphis, but Dixie Grill is still fun with its kitschy decor, enjoyable music mix (blues, contemporary country, rock) and yee-haw attitude (yelling the names of the specials as they emerge from the kitchen). Those with big appetites appreciate the weekend brunch Kitchen Sink Scramble (scrambled eggs with bacon, tomato, onion, bell pepper, hashbrowns and cheese) and Trash Can Buffet (baby-back ribs, beer can BBQ chicken, Alaskan snow crab, catfish, fries, coleslaw, bourbon baked beans and corn-on-the-cob). A rare source of such Southern classics as hush puppies and chicken-fried steak.

Two locations: 404 Ward Ave., 596-8359, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Friday, 2-11 p.m. Saturday, 2-10 p.m. Sunday, brunch 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
