Located in downtown Macon. The reviews say best wings in macon and best cheesesteak. So we tried…read morethem both. We ordered cheesesteaks with lettuce and tomato and we got the provolone. We also ordered wings with traditional mild sauce. Ok so we waited forever and it wasn't that busy, maybe they had a lot of to go orders. The dining area was sorta rough but seemed clean enough. Let's start with the wings. I asked if they were breaded, i don't like breaded wings. They said no. Turns out they were definitely lightly breaded. I got the "mild" sauce because I can't eat anything spicy. The sauce was awful and super spicy, definitely not what I expected. That being said the wings were cooked to perfection and might be better with a different sauce and they have over 20 flavors to choose from. The cheesesteak was a different story. First of all huge for the price. Stuffed full of meat. Served piping hot. Honestly it was amazing. One of the best cheesesteaks that I've ever had. My only complaint is I wish they would use a different bread, it's a little girthy and not as soft as I like. Go get a cheesesteak from this place. So worth it.

Decided to head across town and try this Macon Gem. I was extremely excited because I've heard…read morenothing but good things. Unfortunately my experience wasn't the same. I ordered 3 lunch combos. 2 hotdogs and a Philly. I grabbed drinks for my daughters & myself and took a seat in a booth. There was a steady flow of customers after me and I noticed the man who'd ordered behind me sitting at the barstool eating. I didn't think anything of it until I noticed 3 others who'd also come after me grabbing their bags & leaving. I stood up to ask about my order but a gentleman from the back called out "I know you're waiting we're waiting on your fries" before I could even ask a question. I said okay and took my seat confused watching one of the people who came after me enjoying their fries. by the time my 2 hotdogs and Philly came it had been 20mins exactly. (Photos will show timestamps) Our fries were piping hot while the meats were thankfully still warm. That was disappointing. But I put that aside to enjoy this Philly I've heard so many amazing things about. It was easily a 8.5/10 and I'm sure if I'd had it hot it would've been a 10/10. Nice and full of flavor. The roll wasn't soggy but was still soft and delicious. My girls also enjoyed their hotdogs. We debated on ordering Water ice but in the end opted to give it a try. We enjoyed them also. The small is actually a decent size. They had a nice variety of flavors to choose from. Even though my first experience here wasn't the best I think we'll give it another try. The woman at the register was kind and helpful, the location is nice. And I'd love to try their wings, I overheard a lot of people coming after me ordering them.

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!

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.

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.

My grandson ended up going to the children's hospital yesterday and they did say it was food poisoning. My granddaughter got sick as well. When we own a food business we need to know how to store food and check the dates on the products. This is wreck less ass hell. The kids that you made sick are 4 and 2 years old. Never again will my family eat from this nasty place. She called and they apologized and offered a refund but my daughter did not accept either. This entire situation could have gone left and then you would have gotten sued. Improper food handling and storage is dangerous when you don't know what you are doing. Apparently the people in this fast food did not take their food safety certificate serious. Shame, shame, shame on you for what you did to my grandchildren.

After waiting 15 minutes, we were told they were only running about 10 minutes behind. Throughout the wait, all we heard from the staff was, "Thank you for your patience." Once we were finally seated, we noticed that most of the dining room was still waiting on food, with tables looking around and only drinks in front of them. At that point, we decided not to take the risk of having to wait forever for our food as well. We were starving, so for the first time in my life, I walked out of a restaurant to go to another. I don't know what has happened to Downtown Grill, but it has really gone downhill. It was a disappointing way to celebrate what should have been a special evening.

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!
