    Tommy continues to serve good quality BBQ. Great service. Good to see a business carrying on the service started by his father.

    Brunswick stew, Jessie said it was a bit tomatoey, I liked it but I don't normally like stew so that's probably invalid.

    With my quest for good BBQ in the North in a state of continued failure, it goes without saying…read morethat when I'm home in Georgia, BBQ ribs are a given. Today, I enjoyed an old favorite, Fresh Air Bar-B-Que. Located in the far corner of a strip mall, it's easy to miss; but, it's well worth keeping an eye out for. If your looking for ambiance, we'll, it's a rib place. You don't get that. You do get a clean, and friendly atmosphere, with great food. I chose the rib plate (what else would I choose), which featured a moist, fall off the bone tender, half pound of ribs, with just a taste of tangy, but optional, BBQ sauce, ( don't worry. If you want more sauce, it's there for you on the table in hot or mild varieties. If you must, And I don't see why you would, you can also add Texas Pete's hot sause, which is also there) small cups of appropriately modest flavored Brunswick stew (packed with delicious...uh...Brunswick stew stuff) and sweet, crispy, cole slaw. Add in a slice of thick sliced bread, to sop up the goodness; and, for $13.99, before tax and a well earned tip, you have, I repeat, a great, filling, meal. Want more evidence? My photo was taken mid-meal. The food was so tasty, I nearly forgot to snap photo.

My coworkers love their food and out-of-town visitors are always impressed with the food too. Fresh Air takes all the headaches out of catering. The catering team always accurately calculates just the right amount of food for the lunches. Delivery is on time. They set it up for us and provide all the plates, cups, cutlery, ice and condiments we need. Their prices are extremely reasonable and the food is delicious! The huge smiles on my coworkers faces when they see Fresh Air set up makes me happy!

Got the salad & it was a pretty underdone piece of salmon after asking for it well done. Asked the waiter why it wasn't blackened (out of curiosity) still ate it & called it good & told me we had to ask for it blackened. It was a very basic boring salad with a frozen piece of salmon for $20. My husband ordered a burger & fries. The burger was really good & he got goat cheese & bacon on it. The fries on the other hand were not it. Bummer because they are supposedly hand cut. They were drenched in oil. Like to the point that you couldn't even eat a few without feeling awful. They were soggy & heavy. Think homemade fries but in a super old fryer with lots of crisco. Overall very underwhelming for a place with such high reviews. Won't be back! Gotta step up it up if you guys plan to stay in business for another 50 years!

So on our way back from visiting friends at Lake Lanier, I as the passenger + navigator said..hmmm...we need a break but let's find soul food. I said. Who goes thru Macon and dont eat good. Not me. So, I hit Yelp. Then I asked AI. Claude. Claude gave me a list and there was the H! So we drove 20 minutes out the way. Best detour ever! Go early. Buy an extra meal for home. 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!

    We visited again!!! And it's still just as memorable as the first time…read more We arrived on Sunday around noon and had 9 people. Our wait was minimal and once seated the magic happened! Our server was attentive and prompt! The food was oh so good! Loooooved the "white" gravy with biscuits. Made me feel like I was sitting at my Maw Maws table. So damn good! Fried chicken was still a hit! And the fried okra was perfect! Look forward to returning again and again!

We loved the new look and were seated quickly on for a Friday night. The hostess was super friendly, as were other staff we encountered later. The rest of our experience was surreal to say the least. To start, it was so cold in the restaurant, as was noted by other diners around us. Not sure why, but it was completely unnecessary. Our waitress (we later learned she was also the bartender) took our order (3 soft drinks, some corn nuggets, and 3 meals), and brought the drinks out quickly. As she was leaving, one of our party knocked over their drink -- and you know how big the cups are! The waitress said she'd be back with a towel, then disappeared. I saw her go into the kitchen, then come out and go to the bar where she began taking orders and serving people. I was dumbfounded. We did our best to wipe up the spill and ice, using the paper towels at the table, but we had a huge wet pile sitting there. After about 5 minutes another server came by and we asked for towels, telling her our server never came back. That new server came back with a tray for the ice and mess, as well as a wet towel to wipe the table down. It was probably another 7 minutes before our server returned, this time with a replacement drink and then plopped the corn nuggets down and walked away. That was it... and the nuggets didn't have the little skewers nor the powdered sugar. About 10 minutes later the meals came (from a different server), and my chopped brisket sandwich wasn't cold, but it was barely warm, and a bit grizzly. We kept wondering if this was a brand new location and the staff just weren't properly trained, but when I asked another server later how long they'd been open, she told me 2 years! We barely saw our waitress -- and yes, I understand team style service, but this was just weird. I actually wondered if it was my FSU shirt as we were in Bulldog territory, but regardless, I've never had such poor service at a Sonny's. Management, you need to look into this and see what was happening and why we received such poor treatment. The rest of the staff treated us well... maybe having a bartender cover tables in the dining room is too much?
