In the short amount of time I had to order (there was no one else in line, but in the employee's eyes he was urging me to order!), I couldn't decide (because I'm indecisive) and the employees were nice enough to make me a spinach salad with chicken. The chicken was flavorful and the spinach was crisp and fresh! The portion size was also generous and on a normal day I would have taken the rest to go, but I ate it all! Gotta power up for those study sessions! Unfortunately, the food is served in a styrofoam tray. They also have coffee which I need to go back for one day. On another note, I don't understand the interior of the restaurant. It looks like it went through many changes from 1950's soda shop to '90s sitcom restaurant filming location (check out the table in my picture) to a now Turkish mediterranean restaurant? An employee mentioned they were getting hookahs and the name is also a city in central Turkey but the style just doesn't make sense. They have a long way to go comparing them to other restaurants in the walkable area. However, they do have a very large interesting dining area that has large tables and free wifi so it could be a wonderful study spot!

You know where this is so you know that you're gonna have to worry about paying for parking because look at the area that you're in. Just keep that in mind but there are plenty of parking structures around . The service was great. The two women that were working the front were excellent and they helped me along trying to make my decision. They were super nice and friendly and definitely worth speaking to because of their friendly demeanor . Everything I've had here has been great, absolutely amazing. I'm really hard on Mediterranean food only because where I grew up it was easy to find Mediterranean food because so many people from that side of the world put roots there. Finding some good chicken shawarma was easy. I haven't actually found a lot of that around the Atlanta area but there are a few good ones. This one is solid and did not miss. I loved it and I would definitely go back. Chicken shawarma (platter) - so the platter comes with two sides and an entrée. Everything was good. The chicken shawarma was very good and flavorful and it was super tender and I love that because it wasn't like it was sitting there all day. It was something I would definitely go back for. I may even get a wrap next time but the actual platter served me really well and it was great. roasted potatoes - my first side was potatoes and it's hard to mess up roasted potatoes. You just season it and stick it in the oven I guess but either way they were very moist and you got plenty of them. They were seasoned very well Grilled veggies - the grilled veggies were pretty good. I mean I have nothing to complain about. They were vegetables and they were seasoned as well so nothing wrong with that but they were just vegetables. It's not like it was a main course kind of situation but for a side they were a really good side choice . Creamy chicken soup - now let me get to the star of the show. This soup is amazing to me. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it has something in it but it is amazing. I could actually get a big bowl of it and call it a day. The soup is creamy and savory and has bits of the chicken in there so it's also seasoned very well. I don't know what it is about this soup but this soup is gold to me. In any event yes I liked everything I got, yes I would go back, yes the soup is amazing, all the things LOL. They have a rosemary chicken that is supposed to be the best seller but I didn't come for that. I would definitely try that next time. I was very satisfied with what I got!

Leaving the choice to my daughter and her boyfriend, The Lazy Frog, being the new place in town,…read morewas chosen as the place where where the traditional "meet the parents" summit between the aforementioned couple, his parents, and me would take place. Yes, my ex wife was there, too. The hostess greeted us pleasantly, and easily seated all six of of us, in spite of there being a fair number of others, several of whom were seated at the bar. The warm, but muted, lighting was consistent throughout the dining area. She took our drink orders, promptly serving them, in the same way, albeit, incorrectly. Then, we waited, with cordial small talk filling the void. We continued to wait, as the small talk, now punctuated with laughter, continued. Finally, the waitress took our orders, although no less than two of our party had to resort to second, and even third, choices, due to the unavailability of their selected menu items. For my part, I chose the eight once sirloin steak, with mashed potato's and fried okra, at $13.99, along with their signature appetizer, Frog legs, at $16.99. The sweet tea, which had been refilled several times up to this point, was $3.15. The small talk and laughter resumed for another twenty five minutes, or so, at which point I felt obligated to remind everyone that our children had chosen this particular dining experience, generating more laughter. Just as the laughter began to fade, the appetizers were served. The lightly breaded frogs legs were, were quite tasty, with an appropriately firm texture. A horse radish based dipping sauce, adding a slight "kick" to the legs was served on the side. Shortly after the appetizer plates were empty, the entrees' arrived, mine initially lacking the fried okra. It did come later, though. Now, I want to take a moment to address presentation. An eight ounce steak, sitting alone on a large plate, really doesn't look like much, even though I found it to be properly prepared (medium rare, of course) with the right texture and peppery seasoning. The creamy, whipped, potatos were served on the side, as was the better late than never, breaded and fried to perfection, okra. If placed all together on the plate, I may have had to break etiquette, and pull out my phone to snap a picture. Let me emphasize, it didn't look like much; but, it certainly left me feeling full. A few others in our party did request take home boxes, which seemed to confirm a general fullness of stomach. In closing, if you have all day, and favor an adquate meal, it may be worthwhile to give The Lazy Frog a try.

Located in Downtown Macon, parking is available via street parking. Finding a close spot on the weekend is like winning the Mega Million, possible, but don't count on it. We lucked up on this night and found a spot directly across from the restaurant. As we made our way to the entrance, we were unexpectedly greeted by a woman passionately yelling obscenities at us. Nothing like a little downtown ambiance to set the mood. Thankfully, the heavy police presence on every corner made me feel safe enough to proceed to the restaurant. Once inside, the chaos faded instantly. We were welcomed by a gregarious and friendly staff, informed them of our reservation, and were seated immediately. On this particular Saturday, they weren't overly busy, so we even had the luxury of choosing which booth best suited our comfort level. The atmosphere is intimate and upscale without being stuffy. Think dim lighting, elegant music, exposed ceilings, and décor that says "rustic charm" but also "yes, this entrée will cost more than $30." Our waiter was professional, attentive, and genuinely pleasant, the kind of service that makes you relax and stop checking the time. We started with cocktails: I ordered the strawberry lemon drop martini, and my husband opted for an old fashioned. Both were well-crafted, smooth, and strong enough to make us forget about the crazy lady outside. For appetizers, we each ordered the crab cake. You get one small crab cake, but it was tasty and respectable by Middle Georgia standards. Entrées are à la carte, so order accordingly. I ordered the Chilean sea bass with Brussels sprouts and spinach, while my husband chose the salmon with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Both fish dishes were cooked perfectly and tasted fresh, with sauces that paired beautifully. The Brussels sprouts were crispy, flavorful, and addictive. My husband said his mashed potatoes were possibly the creamiest he's ever had. All of the food was outstanding. Dessert options include their 3rd & Cherry cobbler, cheesecake, and crème brûlée. Heads up: desserts are made to order and take about 20 minutes. Translation, order dessert early unless you're prepared to sit there long enough to contemplate life choices. The restaurant and restrooms were clean, which always earns bonus points. Overall, we had a lovely experience at 3rd & Cherry. It's an excellent choice for a special occasion, date night, or anytime you want to feel a little fancy without leaving Middle Georgia. We'll definitely be back.
