You need reservations to dine here. There was complimentary bread and peach jam. They have a rotating selection of daily specials, cheeses, and change their menu frequently. I also appreciate the "small plates" section for when you're not that hungry. The cheese board appetizer was a surprising favorite. It had items sourced from local farms. Our waiter was very accommodating and did a good job with recommendations and explaining the intricacies of each item.

I was in Macon for the weekend and kept hearing about Dovetail. So I decided to give it a try…read more Located in the heart of Macon in the middle of the Historic District, Dovetail provides a charming southern vibe with a low lit cozy kinda atmosphere and delicious comfort food. You definitely feel the love with their servers. Extensive menu knowledge and very service oriented they aim to give you the best experience possible. So after a tasty cocktail and a very nice charcuterie board I went with the Crab and Panko Crusted Cod. Oh my goodness what a delicious entrée. A tasty crusted outside and so tender inside. And that lemon and miso creamed kale topped it all off. Definitely a place to try when in Macon. The only draw back is that it's up stairs on the 2nd floor with no elevator.

We were headed to Savannah from Atlanta and decided to stop in Macon…read more Macon is an interesting town but luckily we found The Rookery. I ordered a Pork Chop Sandwich. The pork chop was boneless and breaded. It was so delicious and was served with homemade Potato Salad. So yummy. We got a Moon Pie Shake to go. Also delicious. The service was outstanding. 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. We were hassled going out and when leaving. This was unnerving and uncomfortable. All of it was so interesting. I would highly recommended reading it if f you find yourself in Macon.

Suther'n Folke Kitchen opened just 3 weeks ago. It is located in the same mini mall as Ollie's. It…read moreis a "meat and 2 sides" kind of restaurant where you order at the counter, but you'll definitely want to visit for what is special about it. First, the food is amazing. I ordered all vegetable sides. My meal came with a hoecake, dessert, and a beverage. All for under $11. It's a little more if you get a meat dish, but I don't think it's much more. Let's first talk about the food. Hands down the best mac 'n cheese I've had in Macon. It's creamy and not overly greasy and doesn't feel like it's been sitting for hours in a warming tray. The butter beans were perfectly seasoned with just a hint of smoke flavor, not mushy, not greasy, perfection. The collards were also perfect. It had visible pieces of pork, wasn't overcooked, and the juice was just right - not too salty and not sweet. I'm not much of a dessert person, so probably didn't enjoy the banana pudding as much as most would have, but it was very good. And the best part? You can eat as much as you like! Let me move on to service. My server, and I wish I had asked her name, kindly came to check on me to see if I wanted seconds in anything. Yes, you heard me right! If you're still hungry, they will bring you more of whatever you want. I don't know if that's true of the meats, since I didn't get any, but definitely the sides. My server was the nicest woman. Attentive, but not hovering. She enjoyed hearing how much I liked the food and I really enjoyed our interactions. Every single person there was smiling and kind and I felt like I was having lunch in a friend's dining room. Even the chef, Christine Jackson, stopped by my table to say hello and see how I was doing. Finally, the ambiance. The restaurant itself is bare bones and a little run down, although it's obvious there was care put into it - there are table linens and centerpieces on the tables and the place is clean - they just earned a health score of 95, so no worries there. But this is not fine dining or a place for a dinner date and I absolutely loved the homey vibe. You can always get your meal to go, but then you will miss out on having seconds of that yummy food. We need to support our local businesses! Please show up for Suther'n Folke Kitchen. You'll be glad you did.

So on our way back from visiting friends at Lake Lanier, I as the passenger + navigator said..hmmm...we need a break but let's find soul food. I said. Who goes thru Macon and dont eat good. Not me. So, I hit Yelp. Then I asked AI. Claude. Claude gave me a list and there was the H! So we drove 20 minutes out the way. Best detour ever! Go early. Buy an extra meal for home. I gladly dropped my cash. ..salmon cakes made me cry....everything was off the chain. Well, I had my good juju on, I sat on a bench with a 30 year veteran of this place. She talked my ear off, what a delight. So the place is decked out in Allman brothers memorbilia. It was their early haunt as they rose to fame. Well the founder, older blk lady is dead. Her family smartly sold out to corporate. But it was worth it. They maintained all thats good. Even the tiny old bathrooms. Need an update for sure. But. .Definitely worth the visit. Parking was horrible! So go early! Now, you need to go by Macon cemetery. See Allman burial, civil war places. I want to explore Macon more now! Well, as we drove home, around Jacksonville, I reached in the back seat. No fork. Just a smile. Yes i fed my driver. Salmon cakes hit on all cylinders. Sadly the two meat plate left off my meat, turkey. But forgiven. I should have checked my to go order. Never trust. Always verify. Broke my own rules! Stop by. Soak up history, flavors in this quaint cafeteria style. Nothing fancy. Just pure delight!

Being down in Macon Ga. for the weekend I thought it was so cool…read moreto try some new restaurants. The Brasserie Circa was a great find. With a nice steak line up and very creative pasta dishes. The ambiance and decor shows an elegant and sophisticated feel. It's hard to find good sushi so when I seen their line up I knew I was going to pass on the pasta and steaks and go right for the sushi. lol The Chef's Selection (assorted sashimi/nigiri) was a bit of a mystery as it didn't explain anything other than it was the chef's selection. I'm always up for an adventure so I went with it. All I can say is wow what a dish. 4 kinds of fish. Hawaiian Butter fish, Yellow Fin, Salmon and Tuna. And so much of it. Four big pieces of each. Luckily there were other Sushi fans at the table so none went to waste. That coupled with good service and awesome cocktails made for a delightful experience. It's on my list for Must Macon stops.
