    Burger
    Teresa H.

    Came here for lunch not just for beers this time Great staff and service. The burgers were huge and filling and I tried some different beers this time. I had the mushroom Swiss burger. My fiancé had a burger with bacon on it it loved it. And the pimento bacon fritters are a must!

    El Gringo Burger, the best I have ever had in my whole life.

    We were in Macon for lunch on our way to the ATL airport. The place we wanted to eat in dt Macon looked SUPER busy so we walked over to Bearfoot and randomly decided to give it a try. Oh.Em.Geee. I dream about the El Gringo burger I had there. I recommend it to anyone I know who mentions Macon. Grits. On a burger. With spicy sauce. Swooon. In general, I'm cool with my mom moving out of Georgia but legit sad I will not have an excuse to be in Macon and eat this amazing burger. It really was THAT good. Unfortunately they didn't have a kids menu (3/2022) but my kid ordered a pasta dish from the regular menu and really enjoyed it. Service was kind, fast, and it was delightful sitting outside even though we felt like we were obstructing the sidewalk (there wasn't a fenced off area or anything). Highly recommend.

    Fried green tomatoes with the addition of goat cheese. Really good.

    Barefoot tavern has been around for a while. If I recall correctly it used to be in a different building. Restaurant is pretty spacious there seems to be ample seating. They opened early for the US world cup finals so when we arrived at 11:00 a.m. it was already very lively and the bar was full. Service was excellent! Rose was attentive and on top of her section. We never needed for anything and she is so bubbly and sweet. We tried the buffalo chicken soup which was a special of the day. I would get this again. There was tons of chunks of chicken and it tasted exactly like buffalo chicken dip in soup form. Always go for the fried green tomatoes when in middle Georgia. However, I would absolutely skip the pizza next time. Was not a fan of the crust at all! Overall a solid spot with a good menu and food.

    Stopped in here to take a break and stretch our legs from a long road trip. We had our dog with us so it was a great perk that they have outdoor seating in the front and on a back covered patio that is all dog friendly. The waitress brought our pup out some water and was quick with taking our order. The back patio is cool, and although it was empty when we were there it features a bar and stage that I'm sure gets packed as a trendy beer garden. We had the medium buffalo wings (extra crispy) and the black bean egg roll. Both were good, but the chicken wings deserve an extra shout out because they were just right with spice and crisp.

    The Garden area is super nice and highly recommended - perfect for private events or just to hang out with the band

    The staff is great. The tented Garden out back is perfect for booking a private event or just to hang out with some live music.

I started with the goat cheese pesto bruschetta for appetizers. The flavors paired well together and it was a decent size. For lunch, my friend and I shared the taco platter, which comes with 9 tacos, chips, salsa, and queso for $35. It's a great price and it was more food than we could finish. The fried shrimp tacos were the best. Shoutout to our waitress for that suggestion! They were crispy, large shrimp pieces, and flavored nicely. We also got the fried fish tacos and the ribeye tacos which were very underwhelming. Unfortunately, the entire taco platter was extremely salty. Even though we drank water throughout, we both left feeling super parched due to how salty it was. This place has potential but I'm not sure I would come back. It might be a good spot to grab a drink and hang out, but I wouldn't come here to eat. Honestly the amazing service is really what stood out and was the saving grace!

The shrimp was seasoned well the Grits had Gouda cheese in them and were delightful all in all it was absolutely delicious.

The host are rude and misquote the wait times. Our server was friendly but EXTREMELY slow and incompetent. She came to our table a total of 4 times throughout the meal. Upon being sat, she didn't come to us for over 15 minutes and then we ordered immediately. The food genuinely took over an hour, and mind you the restaurant wasn't even busy at this point because they took so long to sit us. She kept lying about the food almost being out. Then, they brought two of the five entrees and didn't come back to the table for another 10 minutes. We could see in the open kitchen that many staff members were hooting and hollering, rather than running our food, which ended up being cold by the time it came out. Doing everything but their job. My Italian Grilled Chicken Sandwich was nothing special. I was so starving after the wait that anything would've been good, but it wasn't worth the high price tag. Other members of my party complained that their steaks were room temperature and also not as tasty as previous visits. The highlight of the meal was the S'more Desert, but that also took a VERY long time to come out. Like it came out at 10:15 PM and the restaurant closed at 10:00. The other clientele here are also very snooty and rude, which really throws off the vibe. Also PSA: They do not take cash. The waitress tried to laugh it off and didn't inform me, but just know that going in. I won't be back.

After a very long wait, our server came and brought water after 15 minutes. We were already so hungry and ordered our meals immediately. Sadly, the food took over an hour to come out. In the mean time, we were parched due to our waitress NEVER coming to the table. She was so kind but so slow. I had the Steak to eat and it was quite subpar. I've had it before and it exquisite, and tonight it was terrible. The food was also very cold because it was sitting in the kitchen window for so damn long. The only redeeming quality was the Smores Dessert. However, it also took over 20 minutes to come. If you want to dine here, do NOT come hungry and block out your entire evening as you will be here for upwards of 3 hours. I hope your chair is more comfortable than mine was. You know it's bad when there's many golf to play since you'll be there for so damn long.
