    Rutabaga Fries Basket
    John B.

    This is a lunch place and I am not local, so I barely managed to squeak in towards the end of their opening hours. It appeared that they are running mostly if not entirely as a takeout. The menu had several vegan options, but I ended up going for a salad which came with cheese, as well as ample nuts and a sweet dressing (southern salads do tend to be heavy and sweet). The rutabaga fries I added on the side were quite satisfying. I came hungry. There were certainly plenty of other things that looked to be worth ordering, and given the limited options for this sort of cuisine in the area, I'd recommend taking a look.

    Keto Chicken Fajita Bowl

    Keto Option! I arrived just before noon and was the only patron in the restaurant. But, within minutes, the entire place was filled and I noticed people having to park in the lot next door. What a great surprise to have a basket of boiled peanuts delivered to the table right after I sat down. I ordered the Keto Chicken Fajita Bowl and couldn't believe how quickly it was delivered to the table. I noticed they have a drive thru so my guess is that this place is high quality food served as fast as fast food. Everyone was very friendly, the service was great and so was the food. For an extra dollar, you can add either rice or housemade chips. Of course adding those no longer makes it keto. I did blow my keto diet for the day and ordered the chips and they were outstanding! Yes, I intend to return the next time I work in Macon.

    Healthy and extremely fresh food with choices for everyone from Vegan to Carnivore! Was busy when we arrived at 2pm and there was overflow parking next door. Boiled peanuts on the table upon seating and the Arnold Palmer was out of sight. We ordered apps that were perfectly decadent and refreshing. Super friendly staff that never made us feel rushed and were happy to help us with to-go items. If you're traveling through this part of the country do yourself a favor and stop by lunch or dinner. We are already making plans to come back.

    Best lunch place in Macon hands down. The food is always fresh and delicious ! Only down fall is they are opened M-F 11-3pm. Closed on the weekend.

    Chicken Florentine $14

    Before coming to Macon I looked online for some restaurant ideas. This stood out as non chian, definately local, and healthy. I went on a Friday at 11:30am. Plenty of parking. You seat yourself here. Service is attentive and fast. They bring out boiled peanuts for free when they come to take your order. I have lived in Georgia for 26 years but never had that happen before. It appears all the food items are ready to serve so your order takes just a few minutes and its delivered to your table. All was good. The collards were more like ribbons in size. Cut that way. Not a big thing but I prefer them shreded into irreglar pieces as they retain heat better. The chick portion size also rather small. That same night I went to another known local southern place and had 2 huge breasts and more rice than anyone could eat for $2.50 less. But these things are not that important, and overall its a good spot to try if you want fast service, and local healthy food.

    Vegan black-eyed pea curry with flatbread
    MaryRose D.

    I had a great experience at Grow when I went! I arrived shortly after they opened and I was the first customer in. Their dining room is clean and open, and they space out the guests when they come in. My server was very nice and attentive and I had awesome service from her! I ordered their black-eyed pea nachos and their vegan black-eyed red curry. Both of these were fresh, delicious, and filling!! I enjoyed my meal and left with a full stomach. Well worth the price of fresh food and I want to return and check out the rest of their menu!

    The chicken was a little dry, but the macaroni salad was superb. Quaint lunch spot with very quick service.

    This is a great homemade food spot! The variety and unique menu is Georgia food @ it's best. It's simple not fancy but perfect customer service and they actually use fresh food .

    Veggie Buddha bowl!!

    My new favorite restaurant! Reminds me of the flower child in Buckhead! Great service along with good healthy food! Can't beat it at all especially not in Macon! Macon has a healthy choice with local food! Great job! Thanks so much!!!

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.

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!

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.
