I like Macon! Haven't been in town for a couple of years but had the opportunity to return and decided to explore a brewery. Scale: 1-5 Beer: 5 - I had 2 which were excellent. An English Mild Porter and Farmhouse ale. Both had a great refreshing flavor. Atmosphere: 5 - Relaxed, typical bar/restaurant. Great location in the city. Service: 5 - quick- sat at the bar and Beertender pricier samples and suggestions for beer and food. Food: had the burger with pimento cheese and bacon jam. Side of truffle fries. Cultural/Political Agenda (1-5): 5 -Everyone is welcome. No preachy nonsense or virtue signaling, just beer, as it should be. read more

What a gem! The ambiance was just right for an evening with friends! The food was good and the beer was fantastic! The bartender was amazing! I'd come back just for her, but I live too far away. Whenever I'm back in town, the Ocmulgee will be on my go-to list! Thanks for a great evening! read more

The server was excellent at the bar, the beer was excellent, and the food was excellent while I'm here I will definitely be back. I recommend this place wholeheartedly! Thank you to my bartender Steven. read more

Went for Bingo night! I didn't realize how long it had been since I frequented this place however they have remodeled closed off the kitchen and added a bar. They have also expanded their drink menu which is a plus for us none beer drinkers. The bartender was very friendly and the food was brought out quickly. The fries and jalapeño ranch sauce were 10/10. My veggie burger was a bit overcooked and crumbly. Definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Amazing! What on earth have I been missing! This place was a hit for us and perfect for what we wanted to eat. We were seated no sooner than we walked in the door. Our waitress was at the table in no time, waters came, and next thing you know, we'd ordered our appetizers-- bam! Came out sizzling, yay! What's going on here? I'll tell you-- they are the point in this brewpub! Seamless working as a team! The decor is nice and has a vibe that just says, "Sit back, enjoy some live music while eating. Our food was awesome, and the craft beers mine tasted like a Pina Colada! Speechless, and went well with my food. So if you are visiting as we were, I recommend making this place a stop on your list. Oh! Outdoor seating is also available, and it was a beautiful day! I can't wait to come back! read more

Love Ocmulgee- great burgers & fries (especially the truffle fries). Their gluten free burger is good & as a celiac, it's been safe for me every time. Their fries are fried in a dedicated fryer. read more

Nice spot in historic downtown Macon. Easy to find, clean and bright place and friendly staff. They brew their own beer here too. We arrived around 3 so the place was pretty empty minus a few at the bar. We ordered the Brewpub Fire balls as an appetizer. Wow! These were great...cheesy, crispy and a they pack a kick. Nice and spicy. My wife ordered the Clucken club-grilled with fries. Sandwich was delicious, fried hand cut and delicious as well. I had a blue cheese burger, no longer on the menu but a smash burger with bacon, blue cheese crumples, blue cheese aioli with the standard garden fixings with onion rings. The sandwich was flat out amazing. I almost couldn't eat it fast enough. I got fries by accident but the brought out the onion rings later. Overall a great experience. Emma was our waitress and she was very attentive and helpful. read more

Stopped by Ocmulgee Brewpub for lunch while visiting family after a trip to the Otis Redding Museum. Really enjoyed the experience. I had the Smoke Stack burger with fries, plus an unsweetened tea. The garlic aioli and pub sauce were both excellent for dipping the fries, and everything came out great. Friendly service, good atmosphere, and a solid spot for lunch if you're in the area. read more

We had such a great time here with pop! The food (burgers, wings and salmon on salad were fab!). Nothing was overcooked or undercooked. Service was A+, got some beers to go and will def be visiting back here. While I don't drink the beer, my husband and father in law thought they were on point, and my gingerbread old fashioned was so good and not too sweet! read more

Traveling through Macon and stopped for the evening and dinner. Found this Pub on Yelp with high marks. It was an awesome choice. Typical brewery in an old building downtown. Burgers and salads are the main food items with a nice selection of beers. You order at the bar or at the food counter and they bring it to your table. We got burgers which were excellent. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

Came here on a Friday around 6pm and it felt like we were being rushed the entire time. I was catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time and our server was barely giving us time to look at the menu before she would come back over and ask if we were ready. My friend went to the bathroom at some point and they tried to take away her tray of food she was still eating twice! Now the food was delicious but as i'm still mid eating my burger the server came over and asked if we were ready for the checks. Maam my mouth is full rn. There were plenty of open tables. No reason to rush us and the restaurant does not close until 10 on Fridays so I wish they had just calmed down and let us enjoy our meal without pressuring us to hurry. Especially for a $20 burger I would like to be able to take my time and enjoy it. read more

Service was VERY slow. We had a large group but it still took an hour to get our food. My favorite part were the truffle fries. They cost an up charge but I definitely think they're worth it. read more

Im afraid my clothes and hair will smell like fried food after dining here. Entire restaurant has a haze coming from the kitchen. I liked my veggie burger but my husband did not.he also disliked the cole slaw. The fieldgreens in my side salad were crisp but tge chopped tomato and grated cheese tasted like they were cut a few days ago. Food took quite a while to arrive at table on sunday at 1:15pm. I Wouldnt return. read more

Ocmulgee Brewpub in downtown Macon, GA. I was challenged to try their burgers and compare to Five Guys, Hmmmm. Food: The Ocmulgee Burger is a meal in itself, topping are fresh and the Wisconsin cheese curds cheese adds something that is special. Fries come abundantly on your tray... fresh cut and hot. The ceaser salad with the cheese curds topping is definitely original. I did have an opportunity to sample the onsite brewed beer this time however look forward to it on my next visit. Service: You will not find a more friendly wait staff.... Excellent customer service. Ambiance: A brewery with food service is the vibe that I have. Clean and orderly facility. I really had an enjoyable experience here and would definitely recommend visiting. read more

Food and service was great, but will not give them my business again. Bill, with included tip as there were 7 of us, came to $199.91. Paid with card. Got my bank statement 2 weeks later, was charged $199.91, then another charge of $205.91. Okay, things happen. Called and spoke to manager, he said it's happened several times recently, lots of excuses. Should have been credited back to me in a day or two, took a full week after a 2nd call to the restaurant. Sure didn't take a week to charge me ver double though. Again, great food, bad b I sinless practices. read more

Great location in downtown Macon. Great burgers, beer & service! Will def visit again!

I came here for lunch a few weeks ago and got myself a veggie burger. I'm quite fond of the Ocmulgee Brewpub veggie burger because, made with black beans and some broccoli, it doesn't try to imitate a beef burger, but is delicious as is. The burger was delicious. The beers are also great, although because Ocmulgee is a local microbrewery, the selection of beers is a bit small, usually around four, one of which is a "guest" beer. Still all are good, and I'd recommend them. read more

We came here before Christmas light so it is expected to be busy. However, waiting over an hour for food is not acceptable. It used to be quick but they must have changed their setup from ordering at the counter to now a sit down restaurant. Not sure why they decided to do that but seems like a poor decision. I wonder it has changed ownership. Unfortunately, we will likely not be coming back even if the food is half decent. read more

Great brewery, with yummy american food. I got a light salad that was nicely dressed and had some great texture and obviously accompanied by a side of fries. The beer selection is large but the types are limited. Large space and great to bring big groups for any reason. read more

Great brewpub in cute downtown area. We stopped by for very late lunch and stayed for happy hour (1/2 priced beers). Beer selection was great and we enjoyed the Hazy IPA. We ordered burger and fried catfish sammy. The catfish was truly outstanding w a spicy remoulade sauce. Both came w great handout fries. Everyone working here was nice and helpful. Would return for sure!! read more

First visit in over a year and wasn't disappointed. Remodeled, different tables and chairs, a positive move. Menu updated. I could write a sonnet about the habanero bacon jam. It wasn't overly spicy at all. I had a chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and habanero bacon jam and truffle fries. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. I always enjoy this hidden gem tucked in downtown. read more

Gotta love brew pubs that actually make delicious food too! That's what this place is, a lovely brew pub you can hang out with friends, famiky, or co-workers at AND get delicious food. Simple food menu, and a simple bar menu. I love it! Plenty of seating both inside and outside. You'll have to watch for random strangers asking you for food if you sit outdoors. But other than that, this place is pretty cool. Ambiance: super casual Cleanliness: clean Customer service: excellent read more

Okay, we were super excited to try this place. I ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich with ghost pepper sauce and thought it would come out with the ghost pepper sauce and it would be hot. Nope. Not even a smidgen of hot. I think they forgot the sauce altogether or even the "Nashville" hot level. The sandwich was not spicy at all. It came with cole slaw but was kale slaw. My sandwich was seriously swimming in grease. The chicken breading was burnt from them using old frying oil. The only hot item was the fried pickles and they were overly salty but ok. My boyfriend preferred the Ocmulgee original and it came out raw. Like pink raw. He ordered medium and he just ate it because he's just that kind of guy and won't make a big deal and have someone just remake it. I was excited for the shoe string fries except they were dry, crunchy, cold and zero taste. They had been sitting under the heat lamp quite a while. They were awful. Someone recommended this place and not even sure why but unfortunately our experience was horrible. I ate half my sandwich and a few pickle chips and threw the rest away. He ate his burger the best he could and I seriously hope he doesn't get sick from the burger not being cooked. Everyone was nice inside. It wasn't busy. The place seemed clean inside but not the outside tables. If you still decide to try, that's on you. You've been warned. My stomach hurts and I feel like I can feel the grease coagulating in my system. LOL read more

This place is an experience. First, the beer menu is diverse in a fun way. It draws you to try everything. We were immediately greeted and helped by a staff member who was just as excited to pour us samples and talk beer as my wife and I were to be there. The beers were fantastic. Their food menu complements the their beers and ambience, and the food was fantastic in terms of freshness and taste. The ambience was fun, comfortable, and welcoming. We'll be back. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening at around 530 and it wasn't packed. A lot of room to sit and no lines. I was definitely ordering a beer but wasn't sure about food because I didn't feel like eating burgers however these were voted top burger for 2 years, so sparked my curiosity. I wanted the Juliette however they were out of fried tomatoes and that was the whole reason I wanted it so I scrambled and picked the red hot love burger because I love bacon, spicy and cheese. I also upgraded me fries to onion rings, always do if available. The burger was really good. First, the burger was the star of the dish and not the bun, hate it when the bun is so huge. Next it was cooked well and not dry, very tender and juicy. The pimento cheese was good and had a little spice. The pepper jam was ok, not really a fan of sweet in my meals but it wasn't overpowering which was great. The bacon was also a thick slice and although not crunchy, it was still good. The onion rings took me by surprise. It was a red onion and thick. It was the star of the onion rings and not a overbearing beer batter. This was my first onion rings with red onions and I loved it. Overall, great meal and the beer was good too! Highly recommend! read more

Got the forest floor burger (I think- on their website menu it's called holy peyote) with lettuce and fries. Solid burger. Fries were nice and crispy, and got a large helping of them. I could've used a bit more aioli on the burger, but I added some of the ketchup they gave me for a bit more flavor. Not a bad price for the meal. I ordered a cherry blossom lager which was pretty good too. Also, a water. I had no idea where the water was located when I was offered a cup (I had never been) so I found the water fountain. I think one of the workers thought I was crazy because he told me that the drink station was around the OTHER corner. So, I went to get ice. They gave me a pager but brought the food to me, so that was nice. Lots of open seating available. I liked the big screen they had- it was playing softball, which to me was refreshing as it's usually a sport of men. read more
