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.

I came tonight excited to celebrate my mom's birthday, but unfortunately the experience was…read moreterrible. We were seated 30 minutes after our reservation time. After waiting 15 minutes, we were told they were only running about 10 minutes behind. Throughout the wait, all we heard from the staff was, "Thank you for your patience." Once we were finally seated, we noticed that most of the dining room was still waiting on food, with tables looking around and only drinks in front of them. At that point, we decided not to take the risk of having to wait forever for our food as well. We were starving, so for the first time in my life, I walked out of a restaurant to go to another. I don't know what has happened to Downtown Grill, but it has really gone downhill. It was a disappointing way to celebrate what should have been a special evening.

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.

I think Google said it best. "Branch of a sports grill chain offering buffalo wings, chili,…read moresandwiches & lots of draft beer." For a Monday it was a little crowded, however that may have been because of the World Cup. There's plenty of televisions to watch the games. They're also the official watch party location for the SPHL, Macon Mayhem hockey team! Let's go Mayhem, let's go! We sat at the bar. I did not want to wait for a table. I'm glad we did. 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.

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.

Our waiter was very accommodating and did a good job with recommendations and explaining the intricacies of each item.

You definitely feel the love with their servers. Extensive menu knowledge and very service oriented they aim to give you the best experience possible. So after a tasty cocktail and a very nice charcuterie board I went with the Crab and Panko Crusted Cod. Oh my goodness what a delicious entrée. A tasty crusted outside and so tender inside. And that lemon and miso creamed kale topped it all off. Definitely a place to try when in Macon. The only draw back is that it's up stairs on the 2nd floor with no elevator.

I visited Cashman's Pub on Wing & Whiskey Wednesday and had a mixed experience overall…read more Let's start with the positives: the food was excellent. The Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls were just as amazing as I remembered, and the wings were cooked well. The food is definitely the highlight and the main reason I'll be returning to try more menu items. However, there were several areas that could use improvement. I ordered a tequila and pineapple juice drink, but it tasted watered down and lacked balance. It fell flat and wasn't very enjoyable. The blue cheese also wasn't appetizing and didn't pair well with my lemon pepper wings. I ended up using ranch instead, and I believe I was still charged for the blue cheese. The service was pleasant but inconsistent. My server was friendly and polite, which is why I still left a decent tip, but she didn't check on me as often as expected. I also found it unusual that I had to send my tip through Cash App because their payment system doesn't allow tips to be added directly to the receipt. That process felt inconvenient and outdated. The atmosphere has a lot of potential. The building itself is beautiful, and I love the overall ambiance. However, the seating could use some attention. I wore shorts, and the booth cushions were worn enough that they scratched my legs. The restaurant could also benefit from having a host or hostess. When you walk in, you're left to find your own seat, and there doesn't seem to be much guidance for guests. It appeared that there was only one server covering the dining area when I visited around 4:30-5:00 PM. While it wasn't particularly busy, having additional wait staff and a dedicated host would likely improve the customer experience significantly. The staff seemed nice and professional overall, but the restaurant would benefit from additional training, staffing, and a more organized front-of-house operation. Overall, I'd rate my experience 3.5 out of 5 stars. The food is absolutely on point and keeps me coming back, but improvements in service, seating, and guest hospitality would make a big difference. Cashman's Pub has tremendous potential, and with a few adjustments, it could easily become one of the area's top dining spots.

This is my second experience here. First time my sister brought me a to go order which was so…read morefreaking good so when she asked where should we eat I suggested here. Big Mistake!! We walked in and nearly every table was dirty so we opted to sit at the bar area which was not fully clean either but was a minor issue comparing to the other tables. I asked sis if she wanted to walk somewhere else to eat because we were in paid parking for 2 hours. It took 40 mins before our order was taken both drinks and food. The tea was terrible. I switched to water. We were observing how 2 people while came after us got their food before we did. We could tell they were regulars but that should not matter. When our food arrived, my sister stated I thought you ordered grilled chicken salad. I said I did but I will not send it back because it may take too long. I glanced the salad and continued eating my soup. The party next to me had some issues and sent their salad back which came out wrong again so after looking at mine I said this salad should have been hers and the one she initially had was mine. So they said they did not mind to switch because I hadn't touched mine and I was ok with that as well. I told the girl to just bring my eggs to go on the salad to make it correct. We and the party next to us boxed up our food and took it home. We all agreed it was simply too filthy to eat in there. Half of sis food was cold anyways. There were issues all around. A customer picking up food ended up cursing out one of the 2 servers they had. I have no clue exactly why this place was functioning as such but this definitely was a management issue. I was surprised the two servers did not walk out themselves. They were doing the best they could with the exception of unnecessary chatter at times with regular customers. I do know that I would NOT dine here again.
