While making our way through the state of Ga, we woke up mid-morning in Macon! Nothing close to our…read morehotel was calling our name.... So we hit the road searching for a local establishment! The internet led us to Black Rose Cafe & Bakehouse. It sounded like the perfect place for us based on the menu & time of day. There was a variety of options to choose from, lunch, breakfast, bakery, soups.... Even tacos if we wanted. There were far too few parking places to be seen ANYWHERE around the strip mall! This made it hard for a quick walk in the rain. Nothing the restaurant could do about that... but was the start to our less than perfect experience. Once inside, there were several open tables and a sign reading 'please wait to be seated.' Some we waited -- only to be told 'you can sit anywhere you'd like.' So which is it, wait or seat yourself ‍? Our drink order was taken quickly and then the waitress practically hounded us (came back to the table 3 times in about 3 minutes) to take our order. I eventually said 'FINE, I'll just have scrambled egg-whites only, toast (with butter,) & bacon! I literally had the conversation with the waitress about whether the kitchen should put my butter on the toast or have her bring it to me at the table. I also asked for 'super EXTRA-CRISPY' bacon.... Like charcoal burnt, lol! When the plates were delivered the bacon was NOT cooked correctly, the eggs STILL had the yolks in them & weren't scrambled, and the toast had NO butter nor was it brought to the table. When Kaylee, the waitress, returned to the table we were NOT offered refills on our drinks or the option to purchase another (they came in cans) and when questioned about the butter her response was 'oh yeah, we ran outta butter.' How does a restaurant (a bakery, mind you) run out of butter? Absolutely IMPOSSIBLE! Was NOT a good first impression! It is HIGHLY unlikely that we will ever return!

5 years ago, we would visit Locust Grove often to visit a family member while they lived in the…read morearea, and would often dine at Lovin' Oven. Today, the pizza is just like how we remember it!! They have MORE THAN GREAT pizza. They make their dough fresh daily, and use quality ingredients. I would like more sauce, but next time I can remember to ask for extra. They also put this parmesan mix on the dough which makes it even better!! They have good tea, and have a great atmosphere! You feel like you are in an old brick-walled pizza establishment. The staff are attentive, also! (Pro tip: Get a seat towards the front to watch the trains go by). If you are in the area, I highly recommend you stopping by. Great food!

We have been to Lovin Oven more times than I can count. We usually go on Tuesday nights so we can…read moreplay Popular Opinion with Lori (trivia with a Family Feud twist). Well the last few times we have been the game has been fun but the food has left a lot to be desired. Tonight we all ordered slices of pizza (5 of us in the group) and of course a couple of pitchers of beer. All of our pizzas were dried out, not a lot of toppings and large areas with no toppings at all (bubbles in the dough). This was our first time back in a couple of months because the food quality had already been going down on our last couple of visits. Tonight was just awful. Bad thing too cause we brought my sister for her first time and she was not at all impressed. I hate this because they used to be SO good. Service is about the same as it's always been (so-so) and we love the restaurant itself but I'm not sure if we will be coming back. It's just not worth $50+ for 2 people when the food quality is so disappointing. We noticed too that a lot of other Tuesday night regulars weren't there tonight. Wonder if they have been experiencing the same sad food. We will wait another month or so and maybe try again. It's really sad though when our other trivia spot is a bar and they have better food........

There was a bit of smoke in the air but it was interfering with my breathing. The food was a 4. The Mac n cheese was basic that you expect from restaurant. I never expect or receive homemade quality mac n cheese. It was not nasty, just not traditional baked style. The turkey wing was tender. The collard greens were perfect! They were not salty or bland. The cornbread was good. Overall, I would visit again because they offer menu options that are homestyle. Plenty to choose from if you dont eat pork or beef. Oh the deciding factor for me when choosing to visit a new restaurant is the health score. They had a 96A!

Customer service is great…read more Food is good, but you have to be aware of the prices posted on their a la carte menu. All though the prices are reasonable, they are actually higher than whats posted on their display board. The manager/owner is aware of this because I personally spoke with him several months ago and he has yet to change the pricing on the display board to align with whats actually being charged. I don't have a problem with paying whatever the price would be, my problem is with them not being upfront with their pricing. It's a matter of principle. I have been given cause to question their ethics and if I feel that they are not ethical, unfortunately I am unable to support the business. So my concluding message is buyer beware!
