I walked into a restaurant that was completely full except the one booth that was going to be for me. Cute, clean, and busy Cafe! I didn't have much hope for quick service, but Kelly proved me wrong. She took my drink order, gave me a moment to look at the menu, then took my order. I ordered an appetizer ( fried mushrooms), a side salad with my cheeseburger, and cherry dumpling with ice cream for dessert. My appetizer came out first with plenty of time to enjoy. Fried mushrooms were nicely battered and served hot and fresh from the fryer with a delicious homemade ranch dressing. Salad was limp lettuce tossed with plenty of red onion and only one cucumber. It would serve the cafe well to put some effort into the small things. The burger looked like any other burger, but it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was definitely made from lean ground Black Angus. Incredibly happy with my decision! The dessert was lovely to look at and sinfully delicious ! A passing patron exclaimed, "Ohh, doesn't that look good!" Another fabulous choice! I can't get over the fact that Kelly's service --for me just one person--was remarkable. She didn't miss a beat, despite being "slammed" by several larger groups. I hope that one day I get back to Macon. The Apple Basket is a true gem!

This place is the Bomb! We go and eat everytime I visit from Nebraska. Ordered pies for my family Thanksgiving and they did not disappoint. EPIC! Pecan, Peanut Butter Cream, Coconut Cream! So good

Onion Rings

We stopped here while visiting Macon on business. It's absolutely amazing. I had catfish and my husband had a burger with chili cheese fries as an appetizer. It was so good and our waitress, Shanna, was great. It was so good that we made a point to go back the next time we passed through. Same waitress, great service, chicken fried steak, onion rings, ham and cheese baked potato and coconut pie....not great for my diet but sooooo delicious. I'll make sure I go with husband when he goes to Macon just so I can eat here.

Good food, extensive menu (everyone can find something they like on this menu), and solid service…read more Easy access from the freeway. Worth a stop.

We really enjoyed Fiddlesiks!! We were seated within a few minutes of our arrival. The place is…read morecavernous in the back! Reallyl a cool, huge family dining room with plenty of huge tables for big families, plus booths and small tables. You don't have to wait to sit in the bar area (if available). Our waitress, Phoebe, was AMAZING! You should absolutely ask for her if you dine here. She was on point and super kind, efficient and fast. We enjoyed the generous dinner salad which came as part of my wife's fried shrimp dinner, which she LOVED! The salad was HUGE! 4 oz of dressing too. I always have to ask for extra. Not here. If you DO need extra, it's 4 MORE ounces for 59¢, which is a bargain. I can't imagine using 8 oz of dressing, but you do you. ;) The Fiddlestik that came with the salad was delicious! I LOVED it! My wife thought the bread was under cooked, but I like doughy bread (and cookies). My chicken fried steak was simply outstanding! I don't think it was hand breaded, but I don't care. The taste was there and it was everything. The mashed potatoes and gravy may be the best I've EVER had! They were spectacular! Fiddlestiks has it going ON in the kitchen!! WOW! I love that they have salt and pepper shakers on the table PLUS a black pepper grinder on every table! Fresh ground black pepper is a staple in our house and we loved it here. We were full as ticks with no room for dessert. Maybe next time, if we skip the salad, but I want that salad again!
