Jim Shaws Seafood Grill - Macon (GA)

4 /5 Tennison Adrianna “Dri”: The food had good flavor, but most things were fried light, so some pieces of food were just right and the other was slightly under cooked. The inside of the restaurant was dark (so was the kitchen, missing lights or sections with not enough lighting, kind of scary) the lighting was strange for my eyes, I felt like I was eating with a bunch of desk lamps working to light up the room. But it was those soft white kind. The service was good, the staff was really sweet, and my server was kind of whispering, so it was hard to hear her, but she was attentive. I would recommend a visit, but they have some updating they should plan.

5 /5 Lisa Altman: First time here and the food was amazing. There was alittle wait for Saturday evening but it was worth it. We had catfish filets and claim strips they were both amazing. Cheese grits ,fries corn on the cob. Will be back

4 /5 Ric Douglas: Heard a lot about this place so was excited to finally try it. I get the feeling its one of those places thats always been around and hasnt seen a need to update anything. Which, isnt bad but it does make the atmosphere look a little generic, the menu bland. That said, the service was great. Friendly and hospitable. My biggest issue was with the fried food. Which was everything. The batter isnt seasoned, so everything you order is one step away from tasting like everything else. This is especially true for the battered fries. Dont do it. The batter to fry ratio is about 1:1 and you have to chew through bland, fried batter just to barely taste the potato. But the hushpuppies are great, the slaw is good and the in-house made Key Lime Pie is delicious. So get that! And if you get dessert, you will: its the only thing on the menu.

5 /5 Richard Weeks: Great seafood spot. Reminds me of seafood shacks on the coast. Good food, friendly service. My group enjoyed oysters on half shell, mussels, shrimp, salmon and catfish. All were great. Squash casarole side was best Ive ever had outside moms. Only complaint was one of my traditional yankee seafood loving buddies thought the mussels came with too much butter. Didnt bother me.
