Dinner after KSC - Dixie Crossroads

[tiki23]

I knew there was a well-recommended restaurant where I wanted to eat after our Kennedy Space Center visit! Since I spent about 30 minutes searching KSC threads for the name of this restaurant, I thought I would just put up a quick thread. The next searcher might have an easier time finding it.

ETA: Here's a link! Dixie Crossroads

Ughhh we wanted to try this restaurant soooo badly a few years ago and when we got there they told us we'd have a 2 hour wait! So the men in our party started to whine and we ended up leaving. Oh well maybe the next time.

Sammi

love the bathing suit I have bought it for my daughter and her friend who are joining us in florida in Feb can not wait.

Almost the same story as Sammi! We stopped there (actually couldn't park in the parking lot -- no room) and were told it would be a 2 hour wait. We were there on July 1, after a scrubbed shuttle launch, and I'd just spent a very long time in heavy non-moving traffic. I was the one who said no-go! It's still on my list for a different trip to Cocoa.

Thanks Deb!

We bought it at the DIS store in Saginaw Michigan when we were in Frankenmuth this past July.We couldn't resist!

And the cutie that's modelling it is our 22 month old granddaughter Jada Leigh!

I bet your kids will look great at WDW in them!

Wow, thanks for the heads up on the wait time for dinner! I see on their website that they take priority seatings so I think I'll call a couple of weeks ahead.

Sammi - your GD is adorable!

I wish I'd known in advance about priority seating as I would have loved to have eaten there! Oh well at least I can say I made it as far as their parking lot!

Aww tiki!...........thanks for the nice comment....we just love this little girl soooo much!

If you want to try Dixie Crossroads and you won't be in the KSC area, you can also go to the one in Orlando:

WOW Thanks so much for the tip! I didn't know there was a new one and in Orlando too! Great! I will be making priority seating for this upcoming trip in Oct for sure!

This is great info. I haven't even heard of this restaurants. It sounds like a good place to eat the next time we're in Cocoa Beach. The ability to make a PS is a wonderful tip. As much as we love great food, my family wouldn't wait 2 hours to eat at Victoria & Albert's, if it was free.

WE ate at the one in Orlando this summer and it was just OKAY. They do have some hot donut like appitizers that give you for free and you can get crab bites for free if you hunt down their coupon (in every coupon book in Orlando). I am from the NE and we are used to really good seafood. I was not all that impressed with this place. There is NO wait and we went in the height of summer on a rainy evening. It is in Festival Bay.
