To celebrate the launch, Mason Dixie will offer free delivery and the first 40 customers who order a chicken box or bucket will receive a complimentary freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie (Saturday and Sunday only).
Additionally, the team will launch a new and improved menu this weekend, featuring their signature fried chicken available all day, every day and breakfast available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. New seasonal salads and sides will be offered, like creamy Chicken Salad, on a bed of fresh greens, carrots, cucumber and tomato served with a mini biscuit.

If all of this excitement wasn’t enough, Mason Dixie is proud to announce that the installation of a new set of flash fryers means less wait time, and more product availability throughout the day.”

A reader reports:
“Driving home this weekend, I noticed that Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. appears to be setting up a brick and mortar spot on Bladensburg, just north of NY Ave NE. It’s taking over the building that used to be Dolphin Fish and Chicken. Super exciting to see something that isn’t a new night club going in on this stretch, and hoping it means more to come for Bladensburg!!”
Mason Dixie Biscuit Co tells me they should be opening soon – stay tuned for an exact opening date later next week. In the meantime they describe the new spot:
“CUISINE: A nostalgic throw-back to a 1950’s roadside kitchenette, Mason Dixie Biscuit Co.’s Drive Thru is a fresh-fast restaurant focusing on crave-worthy biscuit sandwiches, juicy fried chicken, and creamy frozen “Cultshakes” by DC’s premier ice creamery, Milk Cult. Mason Dixie serves versions of these delicious Southern roadside classics made-to-order, using fresh, preservative-free, hormone-free, and high quality local ingredients with heart-warming Southern hospitality.
ICE CREAM PROGRAM: Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. partners with DC ice creamery, Milk Cult, on an ice cream program specially made for the Drive Thru. The menu is complete with ice-creams by the scoop, inventive ice cream sandwiches, and introducing the exclusive “Cultshake” by Mason Dixie – signature hand-spun milkshakes only available at the Drive Thru. The duo met as members of Union Kitchen in Ivy City and are collaborating for this break-out concept.
SPACE: Located in Washington, DC’s thriving Ivy City/Gateway community, Mason Dixie’s Drive-Thru reinvigorates the former fast food locale into a nostalgic 1950’s roadside kitchenette. The restaurant preserves the existing drive-thru and features updated vintage fixtures and a fresh new face to the exterior façade. The 32-seat restaurant interior gives a playful nod to a throw-back Howard Johnson meets old-fashioned ice cream parlor. Hand-picked vintage furniture and a retro color scheme provide a fun and relaxed aesthetic which will reintroduce the social aspect of the classic teen hangout spot. The youthful ambiance and family-friendly atmosphere is sure to evoke a trip down memory lane.”
“Dear PoPville,
I live in a semi detached duplex style house. The neighbor was issued a stop work order in August 2016. The house is currently a see thru with a failing structure. Our party wall is made of wood (shiplap) and it is serving as my exterior wall. I currently have wildlife inside the walls of my home because the party wall was damaged leaving gaping holes larger enough for squirrels or rats or even raccoons. (more…)

From a press release:
“DC-based wedding startup Pop! Wed Co. has opened the district’s first get-married-anytime, secular wedding “chapel”. Not getting married, but just want to visit? Stop by any Friday in November between 12-7pm for a drink and a tour!
You may know Pop! Wed Co. from their guerilla-style popup weddings at downtown museums, or their collaborations with beloved local establishments like DC Brau and Miss Pixie’s. Now, the wedding startup is opening their own bright, fun, styled wedding headquarters to host the most fun tiny weddings in the city — and maybe, on the planet.
The new wedding venue is part of DC’s Off the Beaten Track Warehouse, a community of artists in the heart of Northeast DC. Other tenants include florists and a letterpress studio, so couples can get almost anything they’d need for a wedding right at the Warehouse. [2414 Douglas St, NE] (more…)
