Decided to head across town and try this Macon Gem. I was extremely excited because I've heard…read morenothing but good things. Unfortunately my experience wasn't the same. I ordered 3 lunch combos. 2 hotdogs and a Philly. I grabbed drinks for my daughters & myself and took a seat in a booth. There was a steady flow of customers after me and I noticed the man who'd ordered behind me sitting at the barstool eating. I didn't think anything of it until I noticed 3 others who'd also come after me grabbing their bags & leaving. I stood up to ask about my order but a gentleman from the back called out "I know you're waiting we're waiting on your fries" before I could even ask a question. I said okay and took my seat confused watching one of the people who came after me enjoying their fries. by the time my 2 hotdogs and Philly came it had been 20mins exactly. (Photos will show timestamps) Our fries were piping hot while the meats were thankfully still warm. That was disappointing. But I put that aside to enjoy this Philly I've heard so many amazing things about. It was easily a 8.5/10 and I'm sure if I'd had it hot it would've been a 10/10. Nice and full of flavor. The roll wasn't soggy but was still soft and delicious. My girls also enjoyed their hotdogs. We debated on ordering Water ice but in the end opted to give it a try. We enjoyed them also. The small is actually a decent size. They had a nice variety of flavors to choose from. Even though my first experience here wasn't the best I think we'll give it another try. The woman at the register was kind and helpful, the location is nice. And I'd love to try their wings, I overheard a lot of people coming after me ordering them.

If you've ever heard the saying "don't judge a book by its cover," Downtown Grill is the restaurant…read moreversion of that. Tucked away in an unsuspecting corner of Downtown Macon, this fine dining English-style steakhouse established in 1997, offers an experience that unfolds slowly, from a puzzling entrance to a surprisingly polished dining room... and ultimately to some of the best food I've had in Middle Georgia. ARRIVAL + FIRST IMPRESSIONS Because Downtown Macon was buzzing on this particular Saturday night, my husband and I ended up parking a couple of blocks away and taking the alley the GPS insisted was our route. Let's just say the alley definitely had "first date horror movie" vibes--but the beautifully framed photos lining the walls helped cut the sketch factor a bit. Once inside, we were greeted by a friendly, outgoing staff... and immediately greeted by something else: the cigar smoke. Downtown Grill has a full bar with an impressive oak humidor and a selection of bourbons, wines, and scotches that could easily impress the most seasoned connoisseur. But that also means the bar area is smoky--very smoky. I actually questioned whether we'd wandered into the wrong place until the hostess whisked us to the back dining room, where the ambiance shifted entirely. The dining room is intimate, classic, and much more aligned with "fine dining." Cozy booths, dim lighting, soft background music, truly an escape. And once seated, I didn't smell the cigar smoke at all. Bonus points for the restrooms using cloth napkins for hand-drying, an eco-friendly and elegant touch. We had noted on our reservation that it was our anniversary, but there was no acknowledgment. Not a deal breaker, but definitely unexpected for a fine dining restaurant, especially one that's been around this long. Our server was polished, professional, and consistently attentive. No complaints there. I started with the Elderflower Refresher and my husband with an Old Fashioned, both solid. But the star of the cocktail lineup? The Lavender Margarita. An absolute hit and something I'd go back for alone. For an appetizer, we ordered the Lump Crab Cakes. As a Maryland native, my standards are sky-high. These weren't "lump" crab cakes, but for Middle Georgia they were acceptable. They were flavorful, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the aioli drizzled on top. Then came the French Onion Soup. I'd seen the rave reviews and they were absolutely justified, easily the best I've had in years. Rich, savory, cheesy perfection. We both opted for the special of the night, the Salmon. My husband's came with mashed potatoes and green beans. I chose broccoli and green beans. The verdict? 5 out of 5. The salmon was cooked with precision--flaky, flavorful, expertly seasoned. The veggies were fresh, vibrant, and seasoned beautifully. Truly, this was the best meal I've had in Middle Georgia, hands down. Downtown Grill may not be where I'd choose to celebrate a milestone (the lack of acknowledgment and smoky entrance made sure of that), but it is where I'll go when I want a reliably excellent, well-executed meal. The kitchen is clearly the star of the show, and they delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We'll absolutely be back, maybe not for the anniversary, but definitely for that food.
