Amazing restaurant with the best staff and food!! We're from New Hampshire and had never had grits before, they immediately brought us some to try and they were amazing. When we finished up our meals they brought us over a cinnamon roll, best I've ever had! 100% recommend.

Boy do I have a lot to say about this place! Somewhat of a hidden gem in Macon but ever since I found it I go at least twice every time I’m in town!! I always tell people everything I’ve eaten here has been the best of its kind! Most recently I had the little Martha chicken biscuit and the south bound sausage for breakfast. The biscuits were cooked perfectly, they were soft and buttery and a perfect pillow for some wonderfully fried chicken and beautifully cooked sausage. Then for lunch I had the Duane burger and tater tots. The burger was cooked to perfection as was the bacon. All the topping were fresh and delicious. The tater tots were also wonderful. I have also had the pancakes here and let me tell you they are like nothing else I’ve ever had. They are so soft and have a hint of cinnamon and beat out any pancakes you can get anywhere else, even homemade. I have also tried their cocktail sauce and growing up in the gulf coast this still beats out anything I’ve had back home. The key lime pie is a brilliant white, which is always the sign of a good key lime pie and it has a taste to back up its appearance. The interior is wonderfully decorated with all sorts of Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead etc merch. It has ample seating and you always feel at home inside. The servers are all very polite with wonderful attitudes and I’ve never had a bad experience with any of them. Lastly I have to talk about the prices, with this quality of food you’d be shocked to learn that this place is cheaper than anywhere else around. When I got the chicken and sausage biscuits and tater tots plus a drink, it worked out to be cheaper than going to McDonalds even after tipping; and it tasted a whole lot better than McDonalds ever could! This place is ran by people who really really care and it shows!! Can’t wait to be back the next time I’m in town!

Shay & Mama Bear were excellent hosts during my brief but wonderful visit at Famous Mike's of Macon. Shay recommended the Shaun Oakley--Gravy & Brisket breakfast (which they serve all day now). My meal was delicious! The brisket is smoked in house for 16 hours, and lemme tell ya' it's great! Even my Arnold Palmer was made with fresh-squeezed lemonade. The staff there are so personable and kind--they even shared some music performed & recorded by a friend of Mike's. By the way, Mike is a long-time superfan of the Allman Brothers Band, hence, the memorabilia displayed throughout his restaurant. What a fine place to visit in the heart of downtown Macon. Stop in for a great meal, good fellowship, and a long walk down memory lane. Even their coffee is good (it's locally roasted). I can hardly wait to come back.
