Their fried chicken and baked chicken are also outstanding! Freshway's meats are super and they have a butcher on staff who cuts to order. Their fruit and produce sections are not large, but plentiful enough and they typically source many of the in season items locally (middle Georgia). This is my go-to store and I highly recommend. Their staff are also friendly and helpful.

When I'm down Macon way, I always bring an empty cooler to load up at the SL Sausage Company…read more This place has some delicious and unique sausages both smoked and freshly made. My favorite is the cooked and smoked shredded pork roast. Already shredded wrapped and ready to go. Just heat it, sauce it, serve it and impress your guests. Some others of my top favorites are the Bacon wrapped pork medallions, the smoked sausage, Pineapple and pepper jack, Vidalia and cheddar are always a big hit. They also carry a nice line-up of home made sauces spices and herbs. And the hot ready to serve food if you're in a hurry. From tasty breakfast sandwiches to some delicious pulled pork sandwiches with delicious country sides such as mashed taters w/gravy, greens and beans with Mac and cheese. A very country friendly and helpful staff that will explain their products as detail or as general as you wish.

They have a lot of great items such as gourmet…read morecandies, nuts, cakes, and a food section where you can purchase fried chicken, fries, breakfast biscuits, etc. There is, of course, the butcher section. You can shop for items that are in a regular grocer here, such as frozen veggies. I was very tempted to pick up some things but stayed true to my discipline. Now, next time I go back, I will get some of those dehydrated okra chips. I really like those. I just wasn't in the mood for them today.

Of all the Krogers in the greater Macon area this is the best one. They remodeled this store and…read moregot it right. Kroger upper management look at this store and fix the others! They won't because that'd be admitting their mistakes. This Kroger is in a thriving shopping center and in the right spot to be seen from the road, to get in and get out without waiting ten minutes to drive into oncoming traffic and it's clean! First thing I notice is the tile on the floor. Yes, amazing, they redid this store and either kept the tile or put new tile on the floor. In other parts of town it's concrete. On the North Ave. store, they took out the tile floor and sprayed some sort of sealer on the floor. It looks like they didn't even sweep up the dirt. Nasty. But, this store is so nice. The aisles are wide, it'd not overcrowded, they don't blast on the intercom every five minutes, they treat you unusually for these days like--dare I say it--a paying customer. The entrance and exit are marked. How clever. Can they do this at the North Ave. location? Looking for something, you won't have to look long for an employee. They don't run and hide or pretend not to speak English or know nothin'. The pharmacy wasn't put in some little hole like at the North Ave. location and it's bright, airy and an enjoyable experience to visit. The feel of this location is more of a small town downtown sidewalk. There's a couple of restaurants, hair salon and other stores with benches outside, covered walkway and it's possible to walk without wondering if you're going to be mugged. There is no fuel court which I really don't care for anyway. I don't feel that we're missing all that much with that fake 3 cents off. The last visit was today. The store really wasn't that busy and I went to pay for my stuff. I had just visited a drive thru fast food place and used my debit card, leaving my bill fold in the car. I didn't realize that until I got to the checkout lady. Very kind woman. She smiled, understood and put my stuff aside. I returned about two minutes later, waited inline to pay for my things. Some stores would have been annoyed at having left a wallet in the car and doing things over again. but, this is what used to be all of the Kroger's in town: POLITENESS! This store does seem to carry more items than some other Krogers. They have a lot of natural/health food items. They also have a decent wine selection. I assume that the prices here are going to be the same as the other Krogers in town but you don't get that attitude or duh... when asking someone if they have something. I doubt the people who remodel these stores read or care about what the public thinks of their work. But, they should if they want to keep a job. This store should be a model for other grocery stores in town. The only thing that is lacking is what any grocery store rarely does anymore and that's carryout your bags and store them in your car. I ask you to do the Kroger challenge. Visit the best, this store. Then visit the worst, the Pio Nono store and North Ave. locations. See the difference and see if you don't agree with me that this is one time that they got it right!

They weren't. She contacted Instacart to get a redelivery. Insacart cancelled her account after a "thorough investigation". While I realize that Kroger is not responsible for the final delivery, Kroger has chosen Instacart to deliver their products. I work in retail and frequently deal with Instacart shoppers. They almost universally work under the influence of marijuana. Think carefully whether you want inebriated people coming to your home.

Sadly, this perfect location no longer is up to par with similar cuisine served at nearby…read morerestaurants. The only thing they have going is the view. Service: They no longer have servers and you are forced to order at a window and then sit down. Sometimes they will check in on you but ordering from a window at a sit-down restaurant is equivalent to going to a food truck park. Food: The food is even MORE expensive than ever before (e.g. a house salad is just over $10 for mixed greens with no protein). They finally have wings again and they were cooked well but still pricey for a order at window establishment. Ambiance: As stated, the view is nice over looking the water and entertaining to watch credit card captains put in their watercraft. The TV's were actually on this time, they had sports on. You can literally go sit where ever, which influences some people to take up a whole 6 top for only 2 customers. Parking: Ample amount of parking, no concerns there at all. This is one of two restaurants on the water at Jackson Lake and both establishments seem to be capitalizing on the location, setting service and food quality/price to the side. Sad because there is so much potential. I would love to purchase the location when it fails and is up for sale.
