I had been going to Dixie for over ten years. Dixie Roadhouse used to be fun and welcoming under the original owners. It used to have a great experience. My lengths of visits were up to 6 hours. Crowd sizes were pretty decent, as were admission fees. And then the original owners retired and sold Dixie Roadhouse, and then the standoffish and toxic Bob and McCaffrey decide to buy Dixie and run it into the ground.For years I had been visiting Jennifer and Katelyn whom were nothing but friendly and welcoming. And then in January 2026, I was confronted by the bouncer that said; No autistic people, no handicapped people, and no single men are allowed anymore here. You can no longer be here anymore. And then I hear the new owner Bob threatened to fire Jennifer and Katelyn if they ever mingled with another autistic person or single/lone guy again. Clearly the new rules at all of Bob's bars and clubs are, no autistic, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, or wheelchair people allowed, no lone or single guys allowed at all, no friendships of any kind between bartenders and customers allowed at all, no exceptions. And I hear that Bob fired numerous bartenders at his other bars, too, for serving autistic, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, and wheelchair people and lone and single guys, and for forming friendships, including on social media, with customers, including regulars.And watch out for Bob's replies to reviews, too. Another guy that got banned from one of his other bars and wrote a review stating his terrible experience, Bob accused him of trying to detonate a bomb at a nearby shopping plaza. Another case, the reviewer was accused by Bob of detonating a bomb at that Surfside building that collapsed in 2021 just north of Miami. Another case, the reviewer was accused by Bob of involvement in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Another case, Bob called ICE and tried to have the reviewer deported to North Korea and sent to Camp-14. And another case, Bob posted on social media telling the guy to kill himself, and then he called the guy's wife a pig.The experience has crashed and Dixie Roadhouse is ruined. Bob has no right to be in Florida at all, ruining and destroying our southern hospitality and turning Southwest Florida into paradise lost, he needs to sell Dixie, go back to DuPage County, Illinois, and don't ever come any closer to Florida than the Ohio River ever again. May nobody ever go to any place at all that is owned by Bob or McCaffrey at all. Actually, maybe Pyongyang is where Bob belongs and would fit in.

Last night we went on a trolley pub crawl and Dixie was one of the participants. Their security is like you’d expect when visiting a prison. My 73 year old friend, a Veteran, showed his valid Military ID. The bouncer had a fit and said “I don’t give a eff who are” and shoved the ID back at him. So my friend shoved his valid FL DL at the bouncer and his response was “Nope, get the eff outta here”. Then two other bouncers came and physically removed him from the line. A valid Military ID is an acceptable legal form of ID, and after reading other reviews I see your bouncers need to trained properly. We will never be back at your establishment.

Man has Dixie become discriminating since the new owners took over. One of my friends that has autism was approached by the bouncers and by the owner and told that he had to leave, that persons with any form of handicap are no longer allowed there anymore, no more autism, no cerebral palsy, no Down's syndrome, no wheelchairs allowed anymore. And the new owners are banning everyone with a handicap, name by name, with the club's computer system and those scanners they have at the entrance. No single men allowed there anymore, either.Dixie Roadhouse used to be a lot of fun and used to be very welcoming when David and Lynn were the owners. But then they sold the place and retired, and the new owners that bought Dixie Roadhouse are from Illinois, the discrimination capital of the nation. Nobody in their right mind should ever go to any place owned by Bob and/or McCaffrey. Send Bob and McCaffrey back to Illinois, preferably near Jonesboro. They are banned from everywhere south of the Ohio River.

Bad experience overall! With so many other places to choose from in the area, pick one with more legit character, better quality food and drinks, isn't so cheap looking
