We were headed to Savannah from Atlanta and decided to stop in Macon…read more Macon is an interesting town but luckily we found The Rookery. I ordered a Pork Chop Sandwich. The pork chop was boneless and breaded. It was so delicious and was served with homemade Potato Salad. So yummy. We got a Moon Pie Shake to go. Also delicious. The service was outstanding. The inside was interesting. I felt like we were eating at a Quentin Tarantino movie set. In order to get to the restaurant several homeless people were out in front. We were hassled going out and when leaving. This was unnerving and uncomfortable. All of it was so interesting. I would highly recommended reading it if f you find yourself in Macon.

Is he the owner? This bartender has been the best! Very attentive.

Their chicken is perfect and the tomatoes! I will each three servings of the FGT's next time, no doubt! Do not miss this place. . .they deserve all the business they can get!

Really weird, unintuitive service. I told my server it was my first time here & needed some time to look at the menu, so... Every time she walked past my table (numerous times) & saw me reading the menu, she stopped & asked me if I was ready? (No, can't you see I'm still reading the menu?) This happened several times in a row to where it was starting to get rude. Then after I laid the menu down on the table (because I was ready to order, yo?) & started staring around at all the funky wall decor, she kept walking past my table without stopping. (Um, if I'm no longer looking at the menu, I must be ready to order, right? I was TRYING to get in & out in time to see a certain movie & this junk unnecessarily dragged out my stay to where I missed it.) Food was just OK - low end chain restaurant frozen food - definitely not worth the wait, nor the concomitant aggravation. When I was done, I piled everything on top of my plate & pushed it to the other side of the table (which should indicate to even the most obtuse server that I'm done with my meal & am ready to receive my bill, right?) But no, I had to sit there watching her walk past my table several times delivering bills to OTHER tables... So I went to the restroom, hoping the bill would be on my table by the time I got back...? But since it inexplicably wasn't & she was nowhere in sight, I went to the hostess station to try & pay my bill, but they said they couldn't do it & went to find her... (Dear God, are they TRYING to be worse than Chilis?! =:O ) I paid with a $20 & waited for my $3.75 change (oh & did I mention that they are WAY overpriced?) & the server gave me 3 one dollar bills, said she'd have to go to the bar to get quarters & then hesitated like she was trying to force me to say "keep the change." (No way, Jose! I had already left a very undeserved TWENTY PERCENT TIP on the table & now she was trying to squeeze me for an additional 75 cents?! After all that lousy service, lousy food AND making me miss my movie? Gaaaaah!) The only reason I'm leaving 2 stars instead of one is because I only leave one star when I either have to: 1) contact corporate, 2) contact the health department, or 3) contact law enforcement - the last two don't apply & I really don't feel like contacting corporate for such a mediocre product. It's just not worth it. read more

The service was exceptional as well. Todd, the owner , stopped by our table several times just to make sure we had everything we needed. To me, that says a lot about a business--it shows genuine class and a commitment to taking care of its customers. Our server, Jane, was equally fantastic. She went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable and truly embodied the warm Southern hospitality that, as a Northerner, I'm not accustomed to experiencing. Now for the food. My brother and I shared the roasted wings with two different sauces--the Habanero and the Spicy Asian. They were absolutely incredible and, without exaggeration, probably the best wings I've ever had. I also ordered the double cheeseburger with Gouda cheese, and it was unbelievably delicious. My brother had the cheesesteak, and he devoured every bite. He said it ranks right up there with any cheesesteak he's had in Philadelphia, and that's saying something. Overall, we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. If you're ever in the Macon area, I highly recommend stopping by. You won't be disappointed.

The bartenders were amazing. They were friendly, outgoing, helpful and attentive. I'm torn between a 3 and 4 for rating because of food. Food was a bit lackluster. It tasted like any other bar food from any other chain restaurant. Nothing stood out. Cooked well? Yes. Executed well? Yes. Plated well? Yes. It was just overall underwhelming. I didn't take any leftovers. If you're looking for a place to watch the game, hangout, unwind with pages of drink options, and want to grab a bar bite, this would be ideal. Date night? No. Foodies? Skip it.

The one night we went, it seemed like the grill was too hot, so the hot station chef was THINKING that the seared steak was too temp, but it was raw inside.

Potato could have used a bit more "loading", but I figured I'd cut the calories for my $5 Budlight! (That's a win these days) Firecracker shrimp was ‼ definitely recommend.
