Decided to head across town and try this Macon Gem. I was extremely excited because I've heard nothing but good things. Unfortunately my experience wasn't the same. I ordered 3 lunch combos. 2 hotdogs and a Philly. I grabbed drinks for my daughters & myself and took a seat in a booth. There was a steady flow of customers after me and I noticed the man who'd ordered behind me sitting at the barstool eating. I didn't think anything of it until I noticed 3 others who'd also come after me grabbing their bags & leaving. I stood up to ask about my order but a gentleman from the back called out "I know you're waiting we're waiting on your fries" before I could even ask a question. I said okay and took my seat confused watching one of the people who came after me enjoying their fries. by the time my 2 hotdogs and Philly came it had been 20mins exactly. (Photos will show timestamps) Our fries were piping hot while the meats were thankfully still warm. That was disappointing. But I put that aside to enjoy this Philly I've heard so many amazing things about. It was easily a 8.5/10 and I'm sure if I'd had it hot it would've been a 10/10. Nice and full of flavor. The roll wasn't soggy but was still soft and delicious. My girls also enjoyed their hotdogs. We debated on ordering Water ice but in the end opted to give it a try. We enjoyed them also. The small is actually a decent size. They had a nice variety of flavors to choose from. Even though my first experience here wasn't the best I think we'll give it another try. The woman at the register was kind and helpful, the location is nice. And I'd love to try their wings, I overheard a lot of people coming after me ordering them. read more
