AN EXPERIENCE NOT JUST A MEAL…read more This place is located in a kind of seedy downtown area of Macon. We walked in and the vibe throughout the place won me over instantly. When the staff seem to enjoy their jobs and working with each other as well, chances are you have a winner. We were seated immediately in a cozy booth with floor to ceiling graffiti. The place just oozed character! We were told that at times in the loft above our heads they had live music FYI. The waitress was friendly and on point. We never found ourselves waiting to order or for drinks, etc. The food was great. We started with the solid gold soul rolls which were tasty. I'd say 2-3 people for this app. My wife had the hot pig and fig which she enjoyed. She wanted something a little light and it was perfect for her. I ordered the Dr John Burger. The cook forgot my bacon . No bueno. Our waitress was game and was quick to bring me bacon to complete the burger. It was well cooked and the flavors were excellent so all was good. Our companion enjoyed her food as well. We all left full and happy. And, yes I would return and I recommend trying them yourself.

We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were a great appetizer--crispy, flavorful, and a nice way to kick things off. For our entrées, we had the fish and chips and the smoked turkey sandwich. The fish had a nice crispy batter, and the smoked turkey sandwich was tasty and satisfying. My only disappointment was the fries. They were a bit soggy and lacked the crispiness I was hoping for, especially with the fish and chips. A crisp, hot fry would have taken the meal to the next level. Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

We started with the Grit Fritters and fried okra. Both were phenomenal and the freshest okra we have ever had! My husband had the seasonal entree Gulf Red Fish with rice and a stew.

Betcha THIS review won't be pulled. There's a reason I constantly eat here when I'm staying across the street. People in the south generally collectively are just great people. But I really enjoy coming to this IHOP, because my servers are just so nice and accommodating. The engaged in conversation with the customers, are very attensive and on their game.. Today, they were so slow, one of the cooks came out and we sat there chopped it up for a good while. Place is super clean, on every one of my prior visits also. I've never ever ever had a subpar or bad meal here, which is another reason that I continue to frequent this establishment. Tonight was no different, I ordered the salmon, with broccoli and a side salad. If you come here, you will be taken care of. And I have no doubt, that if you happen to have an issue, they will fix it likety split!

My brother told me about this place earlier this week and he was ranting and raving about how good…read morethe food was. I checked the menu and to my surprise.... They had a pastrami sandwich on there. If you know me... you KNOW I LOVES me a good pastrami sandwich. So of course I decided to try it out. The location is in a strip mall/shopping center, where there is a lot of parking. I was able to park right up front. Upon walking in, I was instantly greeted. The young man gave me a few minutes to review the menu, but I was looking for something to go with the sandwich I already had in mind lol. I asked what he would recommend, and he stated the Samosas.... Chicken or Vegetable. In addition to my pastrami sandwich, I ordered the chicken samosas. I was able to sit down and wait for my food as they were preparing it. The restaurant reminded me of a pizza shop, but it smelled so much different. The young man also let me know that the bread for the sandwich is freshly baked, so you know my mouth was watering and ready for this sandwich lol. My food was extremely fresh and he made sure I was satisfied with how it looked before bagging it up for me. Of course I took my pictures before leaving because I had to drive like 15mins home. Anyways.... On the car ride home, I decided to eat one of the chicken samosas..... OH MY LORD!!! It was sooooooo good. I should've asked him if it was spicy before ordering because I don't like spicy food, however it was still good. Too spicy for me, but really good. When I got home I washed my hands and dove into my sandwich. Let me tellllll you. That bread though??? It was freaking amazing!!! There was just enough pastrami in the sandwich with the right amount of cheese. This sandwich was perfect. It was so filling that I could only eat half of it. You could also taste how fresh the bread was. I'll definitely be back to get another and I wanna try the kabob sandwich too. Great service and great food.... My type of combination!!

It was time for another Friend Dinner. As always, I wanted to try somewhere new and decided to do a…read moreYelp Search. Upon scrolling, I came across Murray's in a Hurry and was excited to see the abundance of praise for their Butter Chicken. I loveeeeeeeeeee me some Butter Chicken. Upon pulling into the location, I was excited to see that it sat in a plaza style location which provided ample parking. Looking at the location. From the outside you might think it was a sub shop, however, the menu options quickly snap you out of those thoughts. To my dismay, when I arrived at 6pm, the Butter Chicken was sold out! Awwwwwwww... I wanted to cry. I mean literal tears. LoL! In speaking with the cashier, he was sharing with us some of their top selling items. Based on his recommendation and how good it looked on the picture on the wall, I decided to get an order of Hariyali Chicken with the sauce on the side. Once we placed the order we went to take a seat. The restaurant is very clean and has a super simple American Quick Eats design. A few tables and a few booths. Nothing that particularly stands out. However, it is a large space so whether a patty of two or patty of a few, it will work. When the food was brought to the table, the chicken was very fresh. You could smell the seasonings which made my taste buds excited. LoL! The chicken was meaty and moist. It was chopped in chunks which made it perfect for dipping in the green sauce. The chicken had thinly sliced onions and peppers which were cooked to perfection and added a nice light crunch texture to the dish. Overall, the food was very enjoyable. The flavor profiles are pleasing and provide an authentic Indian experience. The portions are perfect for the pricing. If you're in the area and in the mood for some Good Quality, Flavorful Indian Food, def make a trip to Murray's in a Hurry.

Porto Di Venezia did NOT disappoint! We opted to go for a late lunch/early dinner. We were immediately greeted when we walked in. They weren't busy at all, which is what I was hoping for. They had soft music in the background and since it wasn't busy, we could hear each other and carry on a conversation!We were seated quickly and our waiter came over to take our drink order and ask if we had any questions. We opted to order from the lunch menu. It's great option, especially if you eat smaller portions and/or on a budget. The portions are perfect and it includes a soup or salad. I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese with the Sicilian Chicken soup. My husband ordered the Penne Bolognese (with sausage) with the Italian salad. Everything was SO delicious. We ordered the Limoncello cake to go. I have been craving a piece of this cake for so long, it was so satisfying to eat Definitely recommend coming here. Afterwards, you can walk it off in the cute downtown area!

Hands down the best local burger I've had in McDonough! Golden Grill serves up that classic,…read moreno-fuss burger flavor that takes you straight back to an old-school diner but better. The burger was seasoned perfectly, juicy, and cooked just right. GG's sauce? A game changer. Tangy, savory, and just the right kick it ties the whole thing together. The fries were golden and crispy perfection, and the wings? Crunchy outside, flavorful inside, with just the right amount of heat and seasoning. It's clear they care about their food and their customers. If you see the Golden Grill truck, don't pass it up this is comfort food done right. Service was quick and efficient.

Everything that came out was freshly fried and made with well maintained toppings/ingredients. So no complaints at all there. Burgers-My only note would be to season the meat with some burger seasoning once it's on the flat top. The bun is perfect, the veg is cold, the sauces are saucy and you take a bit of it all looking for the juicy flavorful combo but the meat just misses that mark. It doesn't need much...just a little shake of seasoning to round it all out. Mozza sticks and mac&cheese bits...have no notes, they were fried to order and came out screamin' hot...dipped in GGs sauce or the White Sauce was perfect. Sauces- GG sauce is a mayo, sriracha and sweet chili sauce mix...there may be other things in it too, but those are the top 3. White Sauce is their take on an Alabama white sauce...but this one is less vinegar and more creamy because of the mayo. Little bit of heat, but not what I would call spicy. I-75 Loaded fries...were loaded up! How the fries managed to stay crispy for as long as they did-with all the cheese and sauce defies logic. The jalapeños make this dish on the hotter side, so if you don't like heat...you should order it without them-because they don't skimp on them. Honestly this could have done without the hot Cheetos-they didn't really add to it other than color and they got mushy quick. We also got the beefy/steak rice bowl, but it was for my husband's meal prep the next day. It wouldn't be fair to review based on him eating it a day later...so I'm going to leave that review out. We did see several people ordering it while we waited...so I'm thinking it's a favorite. It's a food truck-not fast food so we ended up waiting about 20 minutes for our order. The crew working it were all nice and our food was well packaged so we suffered zero losses. We will be stopping by and trying all their chicken options for our next round!

The Taste of Heaven just happens to be one. I recently spent nearly $70 on 2 chitterling dinners ( don't judge) but what I got was 2 rice dinners with just a coating of chitterlings on top. After waiting over 20 minutes, being only customer when I arrived , I was told that there wasn't enough chitterlings to fill both my orders and offered me oxtails on the platter with the least. Tired of waiting I agreed. When I tasted the chitterlings and the oxtails it was obvious that they had been thawed a couple of time. They were so over seasoned and spicy hot that it was closer to a taste of hell! On a positive note, the place was very clean with the strong scent of Pine Sol in the air, and the lady who took my order was very nice.
