Let me start by saying that I am a long time fan of Nu-Way. I first saw a special on hot dogs on…read morePublic Broadcasting and they mentioned Nu-Way. I found myself in Macon and sought this place out (though it was not at this particular location) and the rest as they say, is history. I am also a huge fan of hot dogs and the bright red hot dogs at Nu-Way are always an amazing product. Their burgers are pretty impressive, too, and I usually get at least one of their burgers to go with the multiple hot dogs that I get and an order of french fries. There is absolutely nothing fancy about Nu-Way and there should be nothing fancy about this place. Hot dogs, burgers and fries are meant to be eaten casually, they should be a bit messy and there is a good chance that you will get something on your shirt. No big deal, the food is just marking its territory and labeling you as a devotee to their fantastic hot dogs, burgers and french froes. My recommendation is to grab a hot dog (or three) and a burger. Try both with the chili (you can thank me later). This humble chain centered around the Macon, Georgia area has been around about a hundred years and once you try it, you will understand why they have been in business about a hundred years. For a business to be hitting a century mark, they obviously are doing something right. Give them a shot, you will be a devotee, as well.

I enjoy grabbing Nu-way when I'm in town because it is a nostalgic food for me. It was a treat in…read moremy childhood as I spent summers visiting family. The food remains the same, greasy and cheap. Yet, it's a Macon staple every visitor should try. This location is clean and they only allow one customer at a time to enter for proper social distancing. Be prepared to tell your order across the restaurant through your mask. It's 3 stars because customer service is not good here. I'm not offended when employees skip the pleasantries part. However, if customers are required to yell across the room to order, maybe acknowledge that they can start and pause your personal conversations to let them do so.

Probably one of the best burgers in Macon. They are made to order, the restaurant is clean. The staff is very accommodating and professional. They have exceptional burgers, not to mention the peanuts while I wait. Although I can only eat them if I know no one else's hands have been on them, hence the accommodating comment. Everything there was good and I'll go back for another very soon. This time though, I won't really care for any peanuts. read more

I was waited on by a girl with cornrows who was working the register. I ordered chili and a burger. As I waited on my meal I tried to engage her with small conversation instead of us both standing there in silence. She just looked dumbfounded. She had an empty blank stare. Her facial expression was flat. Some questions about the menu items she couldn't answer. She could have been new. Her coworker would walk over and answer the questions and her coworker was far more animated and she smiled etc. But this girl.. wow she was awful. Why put someone who has less personality than a mannequin on the register? Her personality was as dry as the Sahara desert. In fact I've met tree stumps with more personality. So no.. I did not like my experience with her. She looked like she didn't want to be there and like she was very unhappy with her job or even having to work. From now on ill go through drive thru. But on a positive the restaurant has a much larger menu than what the drive thru ordering screen shows. They have pot roast dinners and sandwhiches, pork loin sandwhiches, chili and chicken noodle soup and a lot more items. I believe the restaurant is cutting itself short by not advertising these items on its outdoor ordering screen. The chili was fantastic. Thick, homemade, very flavorful. As always the burger was delicious.

I am not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't a steak that thin and small. I don't think I've ever been to any place with a steak that thin. It came out done, and no where near medium.

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.
