I had the chicken sandwich for Lunch and it did not disappoint. I added broccoli for my side. The staff was quite attentive and the manager Mark came by to check on us . I see myself there a couple of times a week, TVs everywhere, I will be back!

Burger

Came here for lunch not just for beers this time Great staff and service. The burgers were huge and filling and I tried some different beers this time. I had the mushroom Swiss burger. My fiancé had a burger with bacon on it it loved it. And the pimento bacon fritters are a must!

El Gringo Burger, the best I have ever had in my whole life.

We were in Macon for lunch on our way to the ATL airport. The place we wanted to eat in dt Macon looked SUPER busy so we walked over to Bearfoot and randomly decided to give it a try. Oh.Em.Geee. I dream about the El Gringo burger I had there. I recommend it to anyone I know who mentions Macon. Grits. On a burger. With spicy sauce. Swooon. In general, I'm cool with my mom moving out of Georgia but legit sad I will not have an excuse to be in Macon and eat this amazing burger. It really was THAT good. Unfortunately they didn't have a kids menu (3/2022) but my kid ordered a pasta dish from the regular menu and really enjoyed it. Service was kind, fast, and it was delightful sitting outside even though we felt like we were obstructing the sidewalk (there wasn't a fenced off area or anything). Highly recommend.

Fried green tomatoes with the addition of goat cheese. Really good.

Barefoot tavern has been around for a while. If I recall correctly it used to be in a different building. Restaurant is pretty spacious there seems to be ample seating. They opened early for the US world cup finals so when we arrived at 11:00 a.m. it was already very lively and the bar was full. Service was excellent! Rose was attentive and on top of her section. We never needed for anything and she is so bubbly and sweet. We tried the buffalo chicken soup which was a special of the day. I would get this again. There was tons of chunks of chicken and it tasted exactly like buffalo chicken dip in soup form. Always go for the fried green tomatoes when in middle Georgia. However, I would absolutely skip the pizza next time. Was not a fan of the crust at all! Overall a solid spot with a good menu and food.

Patio

Stopped in here to take a break and stretch our legs from a long road trip. We had our dog with us so it was a great perk that they have outdoor seating in the front and on a back covered patio that is all dog friendly. The waitress brought our pup out some water and was quick with taking our order. The back patio is cool, and although it was empty when we were there it features a bar and stage that I'm sure gets packed as a trendy beer garden. We had the medium buffalo wings (extra crispy) and the black bean egg roll. Both were good, but the chicken wings deserve an extra shout out because they were just right with spice and crisp.

The Garden area is super nice and highly recommended - perfect for private events or just to hang out with the band

The staff is great. The tented Garden out back is perfect for booking a private event or just to hang out with some live music.

The bourbon wings and truffle fries were finger looking good. And the service was the best I've experience thus far in Macon

Great selection of GA beers plays all over US. Also Guinness. Burgers are terrific! Fries are thick spirals.

Pretty good food. My favorite is their brunch! One of the best in town. Especially Saturday mornings when you can get bottomless mimosas.

The Society Garden is a cool, hip place to check out some live music and grab a drink or two…read more(perhaps even three drinks). We were there to check out a band and dug the all-around atmosphere and the service was good and only enhanced the all-around good time. They have a great selection of craft beers to pick from and the total experience was pretty awesome. This place definitely deserves five stars.

We came here to meet some friends for dinner and catch up and was surprised there was a cover. It…read morewas Saturday night at 6pm and there was a live band that was playing later that night. Parking was easy out front and we paid our $10 to get in. Kids 13+ had to pay as well. We were definitely on the early side as there were few people there (by the time we left a few hours later, it was packed!). We got a nice table with a dedicated fan that had a clear view of the stage. The space is really cool and there are also some stadium style seats with great views of the stage. The bar had everything you could want and including a good beer selection. They also allow you to bring your own food, which is a game changer. There is one food truck onsite that rotates (it was Mexican the night we were there) and a pizza place next door with great pizza. There are some TVs playing sports and a kid's area so bring the kids and dogs. Onvce the band started, it was loud, but we had a great time here catching up with friends.

Stopped in for dinner after work midweek. Sat at the bar which felt like being in a little piece of…read morehistory with its polished wood and dim lighting. Bar tender was funny, friendly and accommodating. Burger was on point and the onion rings fire. Ordered the James Brown's Black & Blue which was fantastic paired with Horse's Neck.

Wasn't impressed at all for being open for 50 years! I ordered the Cobb salad with what I assumed…read morewould be blacked salmon because that's how it shows on the menu on their website. Got the salad & it was a pretty underdone piece of salmon after asking for it well done. Asked the waiter why it wasn't blackened (out of curiosity) still ate it & called it good & told me we had to ask for it blackened. It was a very basic boring salad with a frozen piece of salmon for $20. My husband ordered a burger & fries. The burger was really good & he got goat cheese & bacon on it. The fries on the other hand were not it. Bummer because they are supposedly hand cut. They were drenched in oil. Like to the point that you couldn't even eat a few without feeling awful. They were soggy & heavy. Think homemade fries but in a super old fryer with lots of crisco. Overall very underwhelming for a place with such high reviews. Won't be back! Gotta step up it up if you guys plan to stay in business for another 50 years!
