El Sombrero - Mexican Restaurant in Macon, GA
Best pork skins
Ocmulgee Brewpub
Hands down my favorite place to eat in Macon.
Mikata Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar
Great staff and good food.
Piedmont Brewery and Kitchen
This place can be a little hard to find but worth the trip. Great fried rice and sushi.
Ninja Japanese Sushi and Hibachi Steakhouse
This is a local favorite. I have heard many people in Macon say this is their favorite restaurant.
Downtown Grill
Some of the best wings in town. If you like going to the bar, ask for Brittany. She is one of the best bartenders in Macon.
Buffalo's
BEST PIZZA IN CENTRAL GEORGIA. The owner, Tina, has been in business for over 30 years and knows what she is doing. Dough made daily and great ingredients.
Ingleside Village Pizza
Kinjo is one of those places that you love or hate. Personally, I don't like the style of food. However, food quality and presentation is always great, so try it out if it seems like a style of food you would like.
Kinjo Kitchen + Cocktails
Absolutely love this place. If you are looking for home style southern cooking, Dawson's kitchen is the place to go. I love their macaroni and cheese. Also, try the baked spaghetti. Their menu changes daily, so check it before you go.
Dawson's Kitchen
I love Your Pie for a quick bite to eat. I order online and it's ready in 15 minutes. Super convenient and good quality ingredients.
Your Pie Pizza
If you’re looking for a higher end restaurant, Dovetail is a good choice. It’s a little pricey but food is great.
Dovetail
The Rookery is a staple in Macon. Best burgers in town.
Rookery
The owner has been in the business a long time. He is a great chef and produces high quality dishes.
Christian's Fine Cuisine
I'm going to be honest with this one. I am not a fan of Natalia's. The food is not great and way too overpriced. The place has been in business for a long time, so they must be doing something right.
