But any fried chicken connoisseur knows that this low-key restaurant serves up some seriously iconic food.

In fact, a national survey concluded that this hole-in-the-wall restaurant has the best fried chicken in South Florida.

Dixie Fried Chicken, or DFC, is a mainstay for Belle Glade residents, opening its doors in 1969.
