Oh my gosh, the chicken was prepared so wonderfully seasoned and light , in addition to certified crispy. The broccoli cauliflower salad was original. The onion rings were some of the best I've ever eaten. We liked it so much, we brought our spouses back. My spouse ordered the pork tenderloin dinner and ate every mouthwatering bite. He was satisfied so much there was no snacking the rest of the night. My roast beef dinner and mashed potatoes were perfection. Our friends loved their food too. When we come back to Macon we will eat here again -- so should you.

What they failed to add is delicious to their pet name for China Garden. They serve a wicked awesome buffet that includes; soups, salad, fruit, many entrees and multiple traditional appetizers.

I haven't found a good fried chicken place in over 25 years, and when I bit into the chicken and tasted their garlic mashed potatoes I realized that I had found the next best thing to what one believes grandma's home cook meal would taste like. The side biscuit was a treat to have and went well with honey or their wonderful jam. In fact, my husband and I are certain that their biscuits and gravy for breakfast must be wonderful based on their side biscuit. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly as well. I also noticed how quickly food was served for anyone waiting for their meals after they were ordered. I anticipate that we will be back to enjoy their other food options.

That said, the bacon definitely made up for it--thick-cut, perfectly crispy, and super satisfying. The real star, though, was the biscuit. It had an amazing texture--fluffy on the inside with just the right amount of structure--and the homemade blackberry jam was absolutely delicious. It added the perfect touch of sweetness and really elevated the whole meal. Overall, a good spot with some great elements. I'd definitely come back.

About 3-5 minutes from Fairfield suites/Comfort Inn. Here's what you need to know before you go! Also, we were there for lunch on Saturday. 1. When you enter, go to the left and pay at the counter. It's a buffet and you pay before you choose your own table. 2. Drinks are not included. Not a big deal. But it's an extra $3 if you thought it was included. 3. If you select to add a tip to your payment you will be handed the cash amount. It just threw me off a minute. Again, no biggie. Just place the cash on your table for your server. 4. Our server did a great job of refreshing our drinks and taking our used plates. 5. No booths. If you really want a booth, they don't have them. We had a nice table by the window and we were just fine. 6. No alcohol. If you really need a beer or glass of wine with your meal you won't get that. 7. Price. It was $52.11 for two for Saturday buffet with drinks and a 15% tip. It was worth it! 8. The food. Excellent selection of whatever you are hungry for! Fresh grilled steak off the grill, fried fish/chicken/shrimp, Salisbury steak, stir fried chicken, salad bar, on and on. 9. My fave! If you go, you have to get the roast beef! It tastes like your favorite crock pot recipe for slow roast fall apart roast beef. Please see the pic for emphasis. I'm sorry it's not a scratch n sniff. It's Devine. 10. Desserts! The part that brings you back to childhood. The dessert buffet! 11. Overall. A little more than I wanted to spend for lunch, but we were so full we didn't go out for dinner! Really delicious food that tastes like family recipes and not out of a plastic bag from a chain restaurant. 12. The rolls! And you have to get the rolls with the honey cinnamon butter!!
