Located in downtown Macon. The reviews say best wings in macon and best cheesesteak. So we tried…read morethem both. We ordered cheesesteaks with lettuce and tomato and we got the provolone. We also ordered wings with traditional mild sauce. Ok so we waited forever and it wasn't that busy, maybe they had a lot of to go orders. The dining area was sorta rough but seemed clean enough. Let's start with the wings. I asked if they were breaded, i don't like breaded wings. They said no. Turns out they were definitely lightly breaded. I got the "mild" sauce because I can't eat anything spicy. The sauce was awful and super spicy, definitely not what I expected. That being said the wings were cooked to perfection and might be better with a different sauce and they have over 20 flavors to choose from. The cheesesteak was a different story. First of all huge for the price. Stuffed full of meat. Served piping hot. Honestly it was amazing. One of the best cheesesteaks that I've ever had. My only complaint is I wish they would use a different bread, it's a little girthy and not as soft as I like. Go get a cheesesteak from this place. So worth it.

There were a total of 3 tables with more than 6 people for one server! However, he was the highlight of our dining experience. The server was thoughtful, attentive, accommodating and I could tell he was trying so incredibly hard to ensure all of his tables were well taken care of. But, he's one person! We started with the fried green tomatoes. They were alright, but not Maw Maws. And truthfully, something felt off after eating them. Beers were good and cold! Great drink menu. And that's kinda where it all stopped for us. Two people in our group got salads and were pleased. Two people ordered steak and fries and were satisfied. However, the rest was just not good. The wrap with pimento cheese and chicken was not good-made someone nauseated trying to eat it. Another person in our group felt sick eating the BLT sandwich (I think it was that with a fried green tomato on it). Either way the people who ate the fried green tomatoes all felt sick (appetizer and the sandwich that had it). Something was just off. The kids enjoyed the milkshakes, that was a bonus. All in all, for a $150+ meal it left little to be desired. I would not return. However, the server was really great. He was the highlight!

My grandson ended up going to the children's hospital yesterday and they did say it was food poisoning. My granddaughter got sick as well.

This entire situation could have gone left and then you would have gotten sued. Improper food handling and storage is dangerous when you don't know what you are doing. Apparently the people in this fast food did not take their food safety certificate serious. Shame, shame, shame on you for what you did to my grandchildren.

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.

My first experience was fantastic, and this time was just as perfect. The entire staff is friendly and attentive, clearing plates and refilling water as they pass by--truly exemplary service! Jordan was fabulous, striking the perfect balance between being attentive and allowing me to enjoy my meal. I arrived an hour before closing, but that didn't affect the experience at all. The French onion soup was just as amazing as I remembered--flavorful, slightly sweet, and loaded with onions and cheese. This time, I decided to try the chicken marsala for my entrée. The chicken was grilled to perfection with a lovely char, and the sauce was delicious; my only regret is that I didn't ask for extra sauce. The mashed potatoes and green beans were also bursting with flavor. Overall, another five-star experience!
