I must say we weren't disappointed. Everything from start to finish, our waiter, appetizers, entrees, cocktails and desserts were spot on. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. I recommend a reservation because the restaurant is smaller, but the food and service are phenomenal!!! The meal was what you would expect in a fine dining restaurant, not hurried. It's pricey but we'll worth the experience. .

You need reservations to dine here. There was complimentary bread and peach jam. They have a rotating selection of daily specials, cheeses, and change their menu frequently. I also appreciate the "small plates" section for when you're not that hungry. The cheese board appetizer was a surprising favorite. It had items sourced from local farms. Our waiter was very accommodating and did a good job with recommendations and explaining the intricacies of each item.

Suther'n Folke Kitchen opened just 3 weeks ago. It is located in the same mini mall as Ollie's. It…read moreis a "meat and 2 sides" kind of restaurant where you order at the counter, but you'll definitely want to visit for what is special about it. First, the food is amazing. I ordered all vegetable sides. My meal came with a hoecake, dessert, and a beverage. All for under $11. It's a little more if you get a meat dish, but I don't think it's much more. Let's first talk about the food. Hands down the best mac 'n cheese I've had in Macon. It's creamy and not overly greasy and doesn't feel like it's been sitting for hours in a warming tray. The butter beans were perfectly seasoned with just a hint of smoke flavor, not mushy, not greasy, perfection. The collards were also perfect. It had visible pieces of pork, wasn't overcooked, and the juice was just right - not too salty and not sweet. I'm not much of a dessert person, so probably didn't enjoy the banana pudding as much as most would have, but it was very good. And the best part? You can eat as much as you like! Let me move on to service. My server, and I wish I had asked her name, kindly came to check on me to see if I wanted seconds in anything. Yes, you heard me right! If you're still hungry, they will bring you more of whatever you want. I don't know if that's true of the meats, since I didn't get any, but definitely the sides. My server was the nicest woman. Attentive, but not hovering. She enjoyed hearing how much I liked the food and I really enjoyed our interactions. Every single person there was smiling and kind and I felt like I was having lunch in a friend's dining room. Even the chef, Christine Jackson, stopped by my table to say hello and see how I was doing. Finally, the ambiance. The restaurant itself is bare bones and a little run down, although it's obvious there was care put into it - there are table linens and centerpieces on the tables and the place is clean - they just earned a health score of 95, so no worries there. But this is not fine dining or a place for a dinner date and I absolutely loved the homey vibe. You can always get your meal to go, but then you will miss out on having seconds of that yummy food. We need to support our local businesses! Please show up for Suther'n Folke Kitchen. You'll be glad you did.

I gladly dropped my cash. ..salmon cakes made me cry....everything was off the chain. Well, I had my good juju on, I sat on a bench with a 30 year veteran of this place. She talked my ear off, what a delight. So the place is decked out in Allman brothers memorbilia. It was their early haunt as they rose to fame. Well the founder, older blk lady is dead. Her family smartly sold out to corporate. But it was worth it. They maintained all thats good. Even the tiny old bathrooms. Need an update for sure. But. .Definitely worth the visit. Parking was horrible! So go early! Now, you need to go by Macon cemetery. See Allman burial, civil war places. I want to explore Macon more now! Well, as we drove home, around Jacksonville, I reached in the back seat. No fork. Just a smile. Yes i fed my driver. Salmon cakes hit on all cylinders. Sadly the two meat plate left off my meat, turkey. But forgiven. I should have checked my to go order. Never trust. Always verify. Broke my own rules! Stop by. Soak up history, flavors in this quaint cafeteria style. Nothing fancy. Just pure delight!

The onion soup did have a slice of bread with some shredded Parmesan on top, but lacked the cheese that I think of when I usually have a French onion soup. The wedge salad isn't a wedge. It's half a small Romaine heart, but the bleu cheese was top notch. Both items were tasty, but not really what I'd expect for five stars. I still highly recommend this restaurant! For Macon, it's one of the better restaurants and it's wonderful that it's open for lunch as well as dinner. Both the service and the ambulance were great. Don't hesitate to go.
