Brought the whole family with me on this visit. Waitress was great and food was awesome! Fried pickle spears are still the best. Fried Green Tomato Sandwich is so yummy!

Andy L.

This is the best spot in Macon. Lunch or dinner the menu is solid. The burgers are my favorite in Macon but the Chicken Chèvre is awesome as well . The only problem is they don't take reservations .

Mark

Dr. John burger is awesome! If you are the only person eating at lunch , grab a seat at the bar for quick service . Say Hi to Leilani while you are there, she knows her stuff!

Melanie Maddox

Fun and funky atmosphere! The spicy pimento cheese appetizer was good! Angus burger and a Georgia Peach milkshake to top it off!

Ashley Young

The pineapple upside down cake milkshake & the Billy Carter milkshake ( w Jack Daniels) were scrumptious! This will definitely be our new go to when traveling through Macon. Only sorry we're just

Cyndie Todd

Great burgers - cooked just right, with lots of choices. Try the Jimmy Carter milk shake-peanut butter and banana with a crispy slice of bacon . Surprisingly yummy!

Melanie Kesler

Great food, enjoyed my turkey burger . Everything is farm fresh here. We had a great waiter named Greg and he recommended the moon pie milkshake . It was AMAZING!!

Dalton Spear

They recommend great local beer if you ask, the burger with the fried egg was incredible

Angel Collins

Don't get a watermelon margarita ! Ask for a craft beer or try any burger . Each one I try becomes a new favourite. Substituting chicken for beef is an excellent choice. Locavore specials on Tuesdays.

Cristen Taylor

The Fried Pickle Spears and Fried Green Tomato BLT are very delicious!!! Great prices too!

Hillarie

Upgrade your burger to grassfed, beef supplied by local Rockingchair Ranch out of Bolingbroke. It's delicious! I've had several different style burgers and all are outstanding!

Tremaine Island

Nice little establishment, friendly staff . Trivia night can be very fun. Food is good, and works out great since it's right next to all the bars downtown.

Kyle Moore

My waitress , Tomeka, recommended a Double Chocolate Shake with Cake Batter (not on the menu ). It was soooo good.

Rob Strickland

The food was good. We had a large party so they put us in a separate room away from the main area.

Angel Collins

The burgers are yum. My favourite is the bleu cheese burger , though to be fair , the burger with pimento cheese on it is delicious. The red velvet cupcake ... get it! Awesome bartenders , great drinks.

Allyse Bathe

Great food, a but private. $10 for a burger . Excellent list of beers and craft brews . legit.

Shernika Johnson

The Walden Burger is just simply amazing. It's my favorite item on the menu.

Kaitlin

Mmmm, yum! Loved the fried green tomatoes and my Jimmy Carter burger . Great local beer too!

Joseph Mueller

Amazing burgers . Maybe a tad on the pricy side, but I would definitely return.

Brittany

You MUST get the grilled pimiento cheese and Bacon sandwich . Mind-blowing! Server was knowledgeable about their 5 rotating taps

Hillarie

The grassfed beef is now supplied by Brasstown Beef , not Rockingchair Ranch. Still great tasting, so give it a try!

Tom Poohsan

Great service! Had a small issue with a meal and they went out of their way to make everything great. Even gave us a red velvet cupcake . YUM! Thanks to the great staff at the Rookery!

Michael Chalmers

The Dr John burger with a fried egg was excellent! Also try the pimento cheese dip served with rookery chips !

Robert Fisher

The best burgers , period. Pay the upgrade for the free range beef . You'll be glad that you did.

Parker Pierce

Best burgers in Macon hands down and the milkshakes are amazing!!!

J.D. Dunston

The Jimmy Carter burger is pretty fantabulous! Peanut butter and bacon on a burger ... What's not to love? :D

Ronda Collins

Great burgers , good service , and cool atmosphere.

Akilah Feagins

Peanut butter and jelly AND bacon on a grass fed burger ?! Yes!! I will take it! Yummy!

Angel Collins

I meant Locavore specials on Thursdays. All local ingredients in a special of the day. Get their early. They sell out quickly!

Akilah Feagins

Peanut butter and jelly AND bacon on a grass fed burger . YES! THANK YOU..

Jesse Harris

They will cook your burger to a deliciously pink medium rare, the way God intended. Try the one with pimento cheese and bread-and-butter pickles .

Emily Fortier

The Jimmy Carter Burger is highly recommended! Yum! Great service and friendly atmosphere .

Sunira Moses

Burgers are sizable. Upgrade to grass fed a must.

Natasha Kellogg

Friers go down more than a $2 hooker on payday....but rumor has it they're getting new ones soon. They've been down the past 2 times I've come.

Roberto Bazzani

Come to trivia on Wednesday's at 8:00 with the best trivia host in the greater southeast DJ Dallas Jackson
