    The deal when I purchased
    Tamika M.

    The price was ok for what I got. The food was very good. The service was good. I would go back.

    Shrimp & snow crab combo
    Surelyne L.

    Decided to check them out for lunch. It had the usual casual seafood restaurant vibe...all dark wood & nautical decor. It was very quiet when we were there. Our server, Phoenix, was great at explaining about the food and ensuring that our drinks were filled. We ordered the lunch special of shrimp & snow crab with the Juicy Special seasoning which Phoenix explained was a mix of garlic butter, lemon pepper & Cajun seasoning. Personally I felt that the food had a nice kick but was a bit too salty and too oily. It was drowning in butter & both the corn & the shrimp were a bit overcooked. Overall, it was just an ok experience for me.

    Recently ordered online for pickup and it was very easy. I ordered a Hungry Fest - mild & Juicy Special. Website explained combo in detail and was able to use Apple Pay to check out. When I arrived at the restaurant in the pickup I noticed a sign saying the Hungry Fest was $28.99, but I was charged $34. No real issue, was just a question, but she said it was because I ordered via DoorDash even though I used the website to skip the 3rd party fees. I have had the restaurant prior to though. Recommendations besides Hungry Feast: Thursdays with DJ Ron: 12/10 GREAT vibe; music & a fun time Calamari: 8/10 Wings: 5/10 Fried Catfish Basket: 8/10 Shrimp Basket: 8/10 Fries: 9/10 Additional Info: -broccoli added to menu Giving restaurants 3/5 because it is a hit or miss.

    Gravel in my food!

    I have dined in and ordered out more times than I can count. This evening I ordered crab legs and shrimp to go. When I get home, I poured the contents of my boil into an empty bowl. I look down a find a rock the width of a dime with the thicknesses of 6 dimes. I understand that this food comes from the ocean, but a blind man could see this huge piece of gravel when preparing my boil. Thank God I didn't actually bite into this! I would most definitely have a chipped tooth at the least. I don't usually post negative comments or reviews, but this is too much! I threw my whole order out from paranoia of accidentally biting a smaller piece of rock.

    # 10 Special- . Never eat out of bag before, but SO GOOD
    Keri S.

    Our visit was wonderfully delicious. Not sure why the bad reviews, but aside from the price (which is all food now) it was super good. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. We even got the Mon - Wed special which saved use some . I will visit again.

    Boil Bag!
    Zoe W.

    The boiled seafood bags are a must!! Every single item (crab, corn, potato, and shrimp!) was excellent. Also, they had a lady DJ who was so fun! She made the atmosphere like a club with good music and lots of shoutouts. Definitely would go back.

    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.

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.

They also have a few shakers at the front desk for you to sprinkle on your order. Lemon pepper and other flavors. I promise you - these are the best wings in Macon. Come give em a try!

    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.

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.

    My husband and I kicked off the new year with a resolution to try restaurants we've never been to…read morein Middle Georgia, and 3rd & Cherry confidently strutted its way to the top of the list. Located in Downtown Macon, parking is available via street parking. Finding a close spot on the weekend is like winning the Mega Million, possible, but don't count on it. We lucked up on this night and found a spot directly across from the restaurant. As we made our way to the entrance, we were unexpectedly greeted by a woman passionately yelling obscenities at us. Nothing like a little downtown ambiance to set the mood. Thankfully, the heavy police presence on every corner made me feel safe enough to proceed to the restaurant. Once inside, the chaos faded instantly. We were welcomed by a gregarious and friendly staff, informed them of our reservation, and were seated immediately. On this particular Saturday, they weren't overly busy, so we even had the luxury of choosing which booth best suited our comfort level. The atmosphere is intimate and upscale without being stuffy. Think dim lighting, elegant music, exposed ceilings, and décor that says "rustic charm" but also "yes, this entrée will cost more than $30." Our waiter was professional, attentive, and genuinely pleasant, the kind of service that makes you relax and stop checking the time. We started with cocktails: I ordered the strawberry lemon drop martini, and my husband opted for an old fashioned. Both were well-crafted, smooth, and strong enough to make us forget about the crazy lady outside. For appetizers, we each ordered the crab cake. You get one small crab cake, but it was tasty and respectable by Middle Georgia standards. Entrées are à la carte, so order accordingly. I ordered the Chilean sea bass with Brussels sprouts and spinach, while my husband chose the salmon with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Both fish dishes were cooked perfectly and tasted fresh, with sauces that paired beautifully. The Brussels sprouts were crispy, flavorful, and addictive. My husband said his mashed potatoes were possibly the creamiest he's ever had. All of the food was outstanding. Dessert options include their 3rd & Cherry cobbler, cheesecake, and crème brûlée. Heads up: desserts are made to order and take about 20 minutes. Translation, order dessert early unless you're prepared to sit there long enough to contemplate life choices. The restaurant and restrooms were clean, which always earns bonus points. Overall, we had a lovely experience at 3rd & Cherry. It's an excellent choice for a special occasion, date night, or anytime you want to feel a little fancy without leaving Middle Georgia. We'll definitely be back.

    Our visit started off a bit rocky. Lots of people asking if we'd been helped and no one helping…read more Someone left a plastic cup on the hostess stand with a weird beverage looked odd. Finally, the "owner" rushed up to seat us. Pleasant fellow, good personality and pleasant to talk to. Apologized and we moved on. The restaurant is almost cut in half with seating on both sides of door. Plenty of metered parking (free after 8pm). Luckily, we were sat in a cozy booth near the windows but we did have a reservation. The other side was more tables and less date worthy. Bathrooms need a bit of a touch up. We ordered the crab cake and caprese to start. Average crab cake too much filler, this is a pass. The caprese however was amazing. Healthy tomato's and a fresh burrata topped with balsamic. Very good, a definite reorder. For mains, I had the fried red snapper with Parmesan risotto this comes with tostones and a dipping sauce. Large fish, nicely seasoned yet a bit over cooked to the point of being dry. Hubby had the full pork loin chop with a side of mashed potatoes. This came with a fresh chimichura sauce and tostones as well. We were celebrating a birthday (on the reservation) so we ordered the hot chocolate cake. Pretty standard. I really think these are now mass made and ordered through food delivery. It was good but can get in multiple restaurants these days. Good vanilla ice cream. Service, now this is where they easily lose a star. Half hearted, disappearing, not engaged with a touch of attitude. They weren't busy, it wasn't late. We were in great moods. Who knows. While we will visit again when in Macon, we cannot have her again.
