What I just ate at Satterfields was up there with the best of anything I've had. I didn't get to try my go to, the brisket, as they had already sold out but I got to try the pulled pork and the chicken wings and WOW. The pulled pork was good enough to not need any sauces. The chicken wings were out of this world. I got them dry with sauces in the side and these too were perfect and didn't need sauce either. I did want to try all of their sauces though and got them on the side. Every single sauce was phenomenal. The vinegar sauce was perfect with the pulled pork and wasn't an overly strong vinegar, honestly one of the best vinegar sauces I've had and I live in Eastern NC. It's a crying shame this place is only open 11-2. The two folks working when I came in were super nice and helpful. I'm assuming the man I spoke to was the owner and he was very appreciative of my business. If I lived within 30 minutes of this place I'd be here every single week. CARNIVORE APPROVED

On my latest visit I got their pulled pork mojo special which was nicely done, along with two quarter chickens-dark. Staff has been super friendly on each visit and the place is spotless. Getting to-go is quick and only has taken a few minutes which is great since their hours are confined to 11a-2p.

The inside was interesting. I felt like we were eating at a Quentin Tarantino movie set. In order to get to the restaurant several homeless people were out in front.

This is a nice place to get a Korean flavor bowl. I love the Bibim bop with the spicy pork Bulgogi…read more It's very filling and I always have enough for leftovers. The price is not bad for the amount of food you get. You order at the bar register and then go have a seat and I'll bring it out to you. The atmosphere is not very cozy but more like a bar type area but people seem to enjoy it and they bring their family and their kids. They have sports bar type feel with plenty of TVs going and a drink station where you get your own sodas and refills. I like to stop in here when I'm going to my pottery class it's pretty quick and convenient and they haven't pretty good selection of food and you can mix and match in your bowls. I find this staff not very overly friendly but efficient because I don't know any other way to put it. They have a blank look on their face when they're ringing you up and there is no smile or anything. I guess I didn't come there to be social anyways I came for the food.

I had a rice base with tangy bibimjang, carrots, bean sprouts, kimchi and cucumber. My husband got the classic with fried egg. They offer a modern and lively dining experience serving up fresh ingredients, flavorful food and a cozy atmosphere. I took a star off just because of the initial confusion with the ordering system but now I know what to expect.

Kudzu Seafood knocked it out of the park. The absolute star of the show was the fire-grilled…read moreoysters with garlic & parmesan. The charcoal grill gives them a flavor that's completely different from typical baked oysters... smoky, buttery, and ridiculously good. If I could do it over again, I'd honestly just order multiple dozens of these and call it a day. Our next favorite was a special appetizer our waitress recommended: Jambalaya Fries loaded with andouille sausage, shrimp, and a beautiful cheese sauce/gravy. It was rich, savory, and one of those dishes where every bite gets better. We also tried the other baked oyster varieties: * Oysters Rockefeller (spinach, parmesan & provolone) * Oysters Royale (shrimp, tasso cream & provolone) * Oysters Kudzu (bacon & pimento cheese) Ranking them after the fire-grilled: Rockefeller, then Kudzu, and lastly Royale. They were all good, but the fire-grilled oysters were on another level entirely thanks to that charcoal flavor. If you go to Kudzu Seafood, do yourself a favor and get the fire-grilled oysters. Then maybe order another dozen... just to be safe.

I've given the place two visits between 2 year. Can't do a third. The place is clean and the menu is short and sweet. No reason the food and service is sub par at best. So many wonderful choices downtown that should be motivation enough to up the game. I don't mean any harm to the business, but this could be a gem in Macon. The bartenders lackadaisical attitude really sets the tone and the food finishes off the kill shot. I hate it for the owners because you can tell the owners have invested heavily.

A funky name to be sure. But, awesome food!…read more In going with a friend to a Hearing Test appointment, we decided to stop here for lunch. And, despite opening later than listed (11:10/15 vs 11:00), the food was worth waiting for. Now, my friend had planned on getting the Tamale plate, but they had taken it off the menu, as the person who made them, passed away. :-( So, we both ordered a traditional Cuban sandwich! And, I must say, it's the best Cuban sandwich that I've ever had (10 Stars)!! And, a first where they used chopped beef. I also ordered to go, Carnitas - Cuban style for tonight's dinner. But , they didn't open as posted, are no longer serving Tamales (though, a large order {2-3 dozen} can be placed 2 weeks ahead of the needed time), and the Chips and Salsa are ala cart. Even though we had to wait, a waitress was kind enough to step around the corner to let us know that they were open. And, the owner chatted with us for several minutes. Cuban style Pork Carnitas, with Rice, Cuban Black Beans, Fried Plantains, and Cooked Yucca Dinner: WOW!!! Though, I still had had the Cooked Yucca, everything was excellent! The only way it could have been better, is to have some Cuban bread. While I don't know when I'll be able to get here again, I definitely want to try their other dishes.

Stopped here on the road from Savannah to Atlanta for some authentic shrimp and grits…read more Appetizer fried green tomatoes were DELICIOUS! We've been fried green tomato'ing it across Georgia and loving them. This simple looking plate was exceptionally seasoned, perhaps the tomatoes were even marinated. There was just so much flavor! So - the shrimp and grits! These were Cajun/creole style so not traditional but very tasty! Hard to describe the sauce - maybe a bit smokey, a bit sweet. I don't know the flavors I was tasting. It wasn't punch your face flavor but a well-crafted smooth full flavored bite! The sausage in it particularly stood out! Delicious! Hubby had the shrimp Po Boy, and wow! Honestly, it was even better! Large shrimp, really well seasoned and crusted with cornmeal batter. The bread roll was the best! Soft, tasty, just made the Po Boy easy to eat, unlike most who just throw the shrimp on a chewy cut of French bread. This was truly superior! And the side of beans and rice?? Best best best evahhhh! The service was really good. Pleasant and knowledgeable staff. EXCEPT: Why were the grits served to me with grits dripping off the side of the bowl? The server even turned the dripping side towards me and placed it in front of me like that. I took a napkin and started cleaning the bowl so the grits wouldn't accidentally touch my dress, and the server just watched. Didn't offer to clean it or replace it. I was a server in another life. I know that isn't acceptable. I don't serve friends and family a plate or bowl that's dripping off the side. I don't expect that at restaurant. But, I consider it a one off. Mistakes happen. I cleaned. I ate it. And the grits were good. Atmosphere: The place was dark and sexy. Cool atmosphere. But I had to knock it several stars for the women's bathroom. In addition to it generally being basic. Not "dirt" but not clean feeling. A giant tile was missing from the ceiling directly over the toilet! Talk about feeling naked and like someone is spying on you! I couldn't wait to get out of there! It's clear that there is maintenance needed in the ceiling and that's why the tile is missing. But no good reason why they can't put a cloth cover or some kind of screen to cover the hole. It is entirely uncomfortable and unacceptable. Hopefully that issue will be fixed soon. And they will also take the time to upgrade the bathroom feeling - nice soap, luxurious paper hand towels, deep clean the floor and walls. Then the entire restaurant will be cohesive, elegant, sexy, cool.
