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.

The food was just ok. Far from average. The prices are really good, but the old adage of you get…read morewhat you pay for. The bar tender was about as attentive as a toddler. 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.

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.

Bring cash! This business charged fees for using credit cards!

The food is also uniquely Irish/British inspired. However, as a non-native, I cannot comment on the authenticity of the dishes. Their drink menu was a bit lacking.

We were looking for sushi in Macon and this was one of the top places. It happened to be near our…read morehotel too so that was a bonus. It is right off the freeway and parking is easy in the shared lot. It wasn't that crowded on a Friday night and we were seated immediately at a corner booth. There was lots of good things on the menu, but no mention of an all you can eat option. We ordered the filet mignon carpaccio, which came out thicker than expected and not as rare as expected but still great! I didn't know how the mango would work with the dish, but it was a nice touch. We also got the tuna tartare, which was mostly avocado and chunkier than expected. I would skip this dish. For my entree, I had the Tiger roll. It was a generous portion and loaded with fish. It tasted pretty fresh and the combo on flavors worked for me. It was about when I was done with my roll, when I overheard that there was an all-you-can-eat option. It was about the same as we had spent and I wish I had known about it beforehand. It was not advertised and our server did not mention it. Maybe they are trying to keep it on the DL. Anyway, I would have done that if I had known.

I was traveling through Georgia and pulled off of I 75 to try to find some sushi and ended up here…read more The sushi was fantastic and the people were nice. I don't know how to describe the inside of it, it's like they're port holes everywhere like the place used to be a seafood restaurant, but then there are oddly painted walls and they played alternative music. Honestly, I'm not sure I would've put all these random things together, but the sushi was fantastic and very reasonably priced. I would come here again. I should also mention that I am celiac and called before I went in and they seemed fairly knowledgeable about what was gluten-free and what was not. They also had gluten-free soy sauce for me. So I give the place kudos for respecting that.

After hearing…read morethe honey chicken was leaving and free double portions of protein was possible with the online code I thought well let me give it another try to see what the hype was over this honey chicken. I ordered a bowl with steak and honey chicken doubled as the protein. Honestly I felt there was barely any chicken in this bowl. I was able to see a piece and taste it separately. The sweetness was definitely there but I don't know if I would order it continuously since I'm more partial to savory than sweet. I figured since this was the last day for it there may have been a shortage on it due to a lot of orders so my bowl did stand out more steak wise. The steak could have been enhanced with more seasoning. Stand alone it was bland. But once the dish was mixed in altogether it was very cohesive. I was glad I chose to give this a second opportunity.

I called at 2:54pm. When a man answered I asked if this was the Bowman location to make sure before placing my order, I believe he was having trouble understanding my question and asked me to hold. After he sat the phone down I could hear another man in the back telling him repeatedly "I am not taking a to go order". That man then comes to the phone & sounding agitated says "HELLO?" I respond by asking "are you all not taking to orders" being that I'd just overheard the conversation prior to him finally coming to the phone. He responds by saying "who is this" like what? A possible customer. I tell him that I was calling to place an order but overheard him saying he wasn't taking an order. He then puts the phone down without responding and I hear him tell the original man to take my order. The original man says he'll take my order but at this point my husband who is also listening to the call tells me we aren't eating here anymore. So i let the man on the phone know and hang up. The whole ordeal was odd, rude and disappointing to say the least. Our family really enjoys eating here but will probably not be returning, and definitely never calling again.
