Where does one began when you visit a legend, that has retained what made it great . Well, Im from…read moreFlorida. So on our way back from visiting friends at Lake Lanier, I as the passenger + navigator said..hmmm...we need a break but let's find soul food. I said. Who goes thru Macon and dont eat good. Not me. So, I hit Yelp. Then I asked AI. Claude. Claude gave me a list and there was the H! So we drove 20 minutes out the way.
Best detour ever!
Go early. Buy an extra meal for home. I gladly dropped my cash. ..salmon cakes made me cry....everything was off the chain.
Well, I had my good juju on, I sat on a bench with a 30 year veteran of this place. She talked my ear off, what a delight. So the place is decked out in Allman brothers memorbilia. It was their early haunt as they rose to fame.
Well the founder, older blk lady is dead. Her family smartly sold out to corporate. But it was worth it. They maintained all thats good.
Even the tiny old bathrooms. Need an update for sure. But. .Definitely worth the visit. Parking was horrible! So go early!
Now, you need to go by Macon cemetery. See Allman burial, civil war places. I want to explore Macon more now!
Well, as we drove home, around Jacksonville, I reached in the back seat. No fork. Just a smile. Yes i fed my driver. Salmon cakes hit on all cylinders. Sadly the two meat plate left off my meat, turkey. But forgiven. I should have checked my to go order. Never trust. Always verify. Broke my own rules!
Stop by. Soak up history, flavors in this quaint cafeteria style. Nothing fancy. Just pure delight!
