Dixie Crossroads Restaurant Review:
Dixie Crossroads is a casual restaurant that seats 400, with servers hurrying back and forth from the kitchen balancing giant trays of seafood; okay, there's steak on the menu, but we can't imagine ordering it. The seafood really is the star. Once you've dined here, you'll be hooked on the sweet rock shrimp, the house specialty – they serve about 1,000 pounds of the critters every day. Besides the rock shrimp, another Florida delicacy, mullet, is a house special, as are heaping baskets of freshly caught steamed shrimp with plenty of warm drawn butter for dipping. Start with a basket of fried oysters and finish with a slice of Key lime pie. Wash it all down with a cold brew and you'll feel like a native.
