Top 15 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Macon, GA

B Off the beaten path find doing a Google search for lunch options. I arrived for lunch with not many people eating there but by the time lunch was over and it was time to go, a lot more people were coming in to eat. The food was good. It came out fast. The server was friendly and attentive. The inside looks like a residence with lots of colorful Mexican decor. I would come back again

DEJAH Its like a hole in the wall place. The food was amazing. The price is really great for the amount food that is served. Very welcoming

Holly Gentile I cannot say enough great things about this place! The food is spectacular the prices are unbelievable and the service is exceptional. My coworker and I eat here at least once a week and I also get it delivered on the weekend when Im so tired that I dont want to leave the house. The chips OMG, they melt in your mouth. Ive always loved Mexican food but after eating here, none of the other restaurants in the area compare. Love this place!!

Barbara Edwards UPDATE: Recently tried again and the food was very good. The staff was great and wanted to please me. Apparently I was right in saying that before was just a bad day. It is rustic with limited seating. OLD REVIEW: Used to be great food but now the food looked great but poor flavor. Possibly food setting on warmers too long. Too much pepper in peas. Macaroni and cheese dried out. Chicken just not good. Cornbread used to be a big muffin now tiny. Its a quaint place with great staff. Maybe we went at a bad time.

Aislynn Holt After years of passing by and not being in the area when it has been open, my husband and I finally got to eat here. It was absolutely delicious, and James went above and beyond for us. Thank you for the pumpkin rice recipe!

Jan Davis Had family lunch with 7 of us.First timers All got different items and all delicious. Service was great! Everyone went on about the salsa dip they serve. Best one I have ever had. So much flavor!!

Caroline Chow Such a great stop in downtown Macon. Friendly beer tenders and the pizza is top notch! My partner said its maybe the best pizza hes ever had and definitely top 3. Very accommodating and theyre happy to do half and half pizzas so you can try two flavors. Dog friendly so we were able to meet a local cutie named Bear

Jenny Borter This is a solid choice of a restaurant. Fast, inexpensive and delicious southern cooked meals. We cant believe we only just discovered this Macon restaurant tradition. Great for large groups. Service could have been a little more professional but no big complaints. We will definitely be back when we are in town.

Travis Noote I cant say enough good things about this place! This was the first time that I had eaten here, although Ive been meaning to stop by every time Ive been in Macon for the past few months. I was honestly Blown Away! The service was prompt and immediate. In addition, the server anticipated our needs and had what we wanted at the table before we even asked. For example, I ordered water with lemon ... without being prompted the server brought a plate containing a couple of extra lemons for future refills. This is not the kind of service that you usually get from most places, and when paired with the excellent food and the wonderful, clean atmosphere, a return trip is not a difficult decision. The prices were reasonable and there was no wait for our lunchtime party of four. I have heard that this place has already booked most, if not all of their reservations available for the upcoming Mothers Day Holiday, and based on my experience today, I can certainly see why. I would not hesitate to bring a business associate or potential client here, or even... My mother! I will definitely be back and cant recommend this place highly enough!

Robert Stearns It is like a walk up counter where they build your plate style restaurant. The pulled pork and fried chicken were decadent. The greens and broccoli salad are amazing. The pineapple cobbler was so unique and delicious. I almost cried the food was so good. The people were so friendly too. Very awesome experience!

Hailey Henderson Great lunch spot! Enjoyed the spicy chicken ramen but tried the fried chicken and spicy pork from the group. So tasty! Loved the atmosphere and music. We visited too early on a Sunday to get alcohol, but there was a variety of Japanese beers and drinks that we will try next time! Cant wait to visit again.

Joscelyn I was treated to Oliver’s during my visit to Macon. Matthew was a wonderful server! He was very attentive and kind. I got a chicken pesto pasta, and my cousin got the rib eye. Great service and friendly staff. Thanks again!

New Me This restaurant is full of character and Southern charm! I really enjoyed my experience — the food was spot on, and the music added a great touch. It has a true All-American vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

Ronald Brewer Had the chips and spinach dip, and honey hot wings. Both were great. Went at a slow time and service was fast and friendly.

Teresa Pittman-Wall If you like all things fried, this is a must stop for you! The fried catfish is crispy and light, but not overwhelming with batter… The perfect combination. Super friendly workers and the wait is not long for takeout, Even during a busy lunch hour. The physical setting is not so great, not as clean as it could be, but for takeout it’s top-notch.
