Passing through Macon and decided to try this place. Wow so glad we did! Love the area it's located, very nice and inviting everything is decorated for the Cherry Blossom festival. My husband had the Ribeye Steak sandwich and I had the Big "O" Burger. They were both delicious, we each just had the plain fries but ate very few of them wanting to enjoy our sandwich and burger instead of filling up on fries. If we are back through the area again and have time we will definitely be stopping back in here. read more

Stopped in to grab a quick dinner & wasn't disappointed! Their most basic buger was tasty and cooked to my request. My wife had their chicken salad sandwich and really liked the taste. Our server was right on time with everything an made our dinner very pleasant. Not too crowded and there was no waiting for a table. Definitely a do-over! read more

Service at the bar was great. The bartender was quick and friendly. The ambiance is your typical pub style. I had the fish and chips with a margarita and i was not impressed. The fish tasted like it had been frozen and the fries were lukewarm. Coleslaw was just okay. The margarita was a little too sweet for my liking. read more

Date of. Visit: Jan 07, 2022 First visit to The Rookery on the suggestion of many many people in our neighborhood for a great burger. I ordered a plate of onion rings, the James's brown black and blue burger medium rare, with handcut fries and sweet tea. Our waiter was Hunter. Hunter was a very outgoing person and helpful when asked. He does need to be more observant though. The food was brought out to our table but we still didn't have silverware. He stopped by multiple times and didn't notice empty drink glasses for a couple of us. My burger was cooked perfectly to medium rare, but my friend who ordered medium his was cooked to medium well with no red at all. While my burger was cooked perfectly the blue cheese on it completely overwhelmed the entire taste of the burger and nothing else could be tasted. The home cut fries had almost zero crisp at all to them, and in fact were limp and soggy for the two of us who ordered them. Decent flavor. The onion rings were very good while they were very hot, and decent once cooled down. They were very large and had a nice crunchy outside. The horseradish mustard dipping sauce was pretty good. The sweet tea was pretty sweet, and a nice tea flavor. The inside of the restaurant had quite a bit of nostalgic items from all the years of business, but could be updated a bit. Sadly, my experience and service was average at the very best. read more

Food was delicious and great service. So glad we made this choice for dinner. Everything is home made including the salad dressing.

Very bad service. Sitting here now and manager says this is the norm. They don't refill drinks and waiter can't take drinks and food at same time. I am appalled that manager won't rectify situation. We are spending a lot of money. Party of 14 and won't give waiter helps. Been here one hour or more and no food. Andre Lester read more

Our second visit here - and very different from the first visit. At that time it was summer and we could sit outside. Now it is cold, so we ate inside, a very dingy, grubby space with a lot of dark, distressed wood. The menu is the same, but my spouse and I did not choose well - we had the "hot pig and fig", a hot ham sandwich dressed with fig. Neither of us could locate any fig. The place was packed on a Monday night, so it must be very popular (or it could be that there are not that many choices in Macon, which seems to be a sadly depressed town these days....) read more

we love to eat there for the atmosphere was passing through town and stopped in for lunch. Many front tables and booths were open yet we were lead to a much different room in the back in front of a very crowded, loud, noisy table. When will you explained to the host we didn't want to sit back there he said sorry he was going to give a break to the servers. he ignored us and walked off and just left us standing there so we decided to head back to the front. The ladies upfront apologized, but at that point, we just left and got stuck paying the dollar 50 for parking. they lost a customer today. read more

I literally only came here for thw boozy Ice cream float. I can honestly say...I would gladly swing into this place for a drink, a meal, or in my case today.... A very unhealthy and absolutely delicious boozy shake. What can I say... It was an amazing dessert. The ambiance in the restaurant is awesome. Old time feel and very casual. Almost like a pub, but no smoke and friendlier servers The outdoor seating is an option, but not very comfortable... Indoor seetong is enough to serve large parties, or just a two person party. So bring everyone, OR just bring a friend. Either way, you'll enjoy the casual bar/pub feel to this awesome establishment. Menu: American pub Ambiance: casual Cleanliness: very clean Service: excellent read more

Stopped in last week for dinner during business travel. Service: Hostess was incredible rude, zero focus. I asked for a table for 1, saw plenty of them open, yet she had me wait for 45 mins. I returned to check in since I noticed her giving away tables to parties of 2. She realized that she completely forgot about me, even though I stood there most to the time. Server: Very pleasant, star goes to her. Food: Nothing to write about. I order the Ray Charles. Burger was under cooked, tasteless, fries looked like yesterdays news. Not worth the hype, plenty of other places to get a tasty and juicy burger from. read more

We were passing through Macon on our way to Nashville and ended up here just because of the reviews. They have a talented chef and a great beer selection. If you need a halfway point between Miami and points north, try this place out. read more

A very quaint place in downtown Macon. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the downtown scenery. The food was very good. I had the black and blue burger and I had them add fried egg to it. It was done to perfection and came out fairly quickly. Their hand cut fries were very good as well. Price was reasonable and they had a nice selection of beers to choose from. Service was great, quick and attentive. read more

We got this one from a recommendation from the bartender from Quill Bar and boy was he right about stopping here!! Such a cool vibe inside and so many choices to pick from for food. I got the grilled chicken salad and the jalapeño ranch! The server said he uses the ranch on everything and I can see why!!! Just enough heat to taste AMAZING!! My husband for the Outkast sandwich literally because of the name and it might have been the best sandwich he had our entire trip!! He said the flavors were soooo good together and the collards were amazing!! We didn't have room for dessert but we loved how they have a new dessert special each month! read more

I was somewhat disappointed in this restaurant. The decor was great along with the service, but I didn't think the food was worth the price. I got a hamburger that was not nearly as good as Chili's and just ordinary mashed potatoes. My husband got a French dip ( actually called something else) that he said was good, but French fries were lukewarm and not seasoned. We'll try another place next time we're in Macon. Historic downtown was quite impressive though! read more

This place has great food and a great atmosphere.it is a lovely place to visit in Macon.

The food was excellent the staff was wonderful especially will ask for him when you go in he is a super waiter and wonderful personality I don't think there's anything on the menu that isn't good.

This place was really good and delicious. It was my first time here and i really liked the vibe in the restaurant and our server was as kind as anything. She helped us with the menu and deciding what to order and was so attentive. I will be returning! read more

Very disappointed. I received cold food while my husband received warm food. Although the manager made the burger over, I was very reluctant to eat it. I told her I was afraid to send the food back. Although she was polite. I never eat food I send back. read more

This is the second time we've eaten at The Rookery and we have enjoyed it both times. My husband got the burger and I got the grilled chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun. The GF bun is fluffy and soft and served toasted, and it's delicious, not dry at all. The hand-cut fries were very good too. The service was excellent, too. We loved our server, Casey (not sure if I'm spelling her name correctly). She was so friendly and was very attentive to our needs. My husband ordered the blueberry cobbler milkshake and he loved it! The next time we're in the area, we will for sure come back again. read more

My husband and I visited while in town after viewing the Yelp and google reviews. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, soul egg rolls, a side salad and my the Dr. John burger (had a fried egg on it). Everything was very good! I would definitely recommend the soul egg rolls - I never had anything like them. The fried green tomatoes were solid and my husband liked his burger. Would definitely visit again when we are in town. read more

On two different road trips this year, we stopped in Macon and discovered The Rookery, a pub in the middle of downtown, which makes the best pimento cheese sandwich I have ever had. It includes peach chili sauce and the marble rye is the way to go. We are also nutso for the fried mushrooms appetizer. Middle Georgia isn't exactly Paris as far as restaurants, so this place is an auspicious find. read more
