  • Love the food, it’s fresh and unique, tastes great and a wonderful variety. Great service, friendly people. A Yahoo! User 12/2005.
  • I dine at this wonderful place as much as possible. They have an amazing salad that I have every time I go. They also have great burgers (my son says the best he has ever had). I have also had a really great chicken sandwich with grilled mushrooms, peppers and onions. My husband’s favorite is the grilled salmon club. Salmon and bacon, how could you go wrong. This place is worth a try for all. Seating is limited and the hours are strictly lunch (11-2). Get there early and enjoy!!!! Dana W. on Boorah 3/2008.
  • Amazing. Harriett on thesuggestr 4/2009.

What Macon’s Nu-Way Weiners Says About Itself…
nu-way-big.jpgWho knew back in 1916, when James Mallis opened the first Nu-Way Weiner stand on Cotton Avenue in Macon, Georgia, that he had created a chili dog that would become an eating obsession? The original store with its neon sign is still in operation today, continuing to serve the same secret recipe chili sauce and private label weiners.

What Others Are Saying About Nu-Way Weiners

  • Simply the best chili-dog or slaw dog you will ever find! Ken Kitchens, 6/2009, SuperPages
  • I grew up in Atlanta where I have eaten at the Varsity many many times. But Nu-way has a better chili dog and fries. If you are ever driving thru Macon, stop by 430 Cotton Ave, you won’t be disappointed. MidnightNSavannah, 7/2009, TripAdviser
  • Really good hot dogs and hamburgers, maybe the best in town. A TripAdviser Contributor, 3/2008

What Taylormade Grill Says About Itself
steinercroppedrgb600-copy.jpgLocated just minutes north of downtown Macon, families can enjoy delicious southern cuisine in a casual atmosphere. Reservations recommended.

What Others Are Saying About Taylormade Grill…

  • An AWESOME surprise inside. If you just look at the restaurant from the outside, you will be misled. Go in and see the quaint place, nice lighting, nice light music, and the friendliest & most knowledgeable staff I have seen in quite some time in ANY restaurant. We were warmly greeted and seated, our waitress knew the menu and specials backwards & forward and was able to “sell” us on some of her favorites …, which are now my favorites. Tim, Virginia Beach, 10/08 in Merchant Circle
  • It was the most succulent pieces of meat I’ve ever had. They served it “Au Poivre.” I live right on the line of New York and New Jersey so I travel inner New York and Philly quite often and the filet at Taylormade rivals anything I’ve had at home. 5 stars for sure! georgiadawg50 in Urban Spoon, 10/07
  • The Taylormade menu is always full of great choices. While I wish the menu would change more often, it has great food, and we especially love the pork chops. The service has been good every single time my husband and I have visited and they have good specials - the lamb is great when you can get it. Jana on Google, 4/08

The National

Friday, September 4th, 2009
Georgia > Central Region > Clarke County > Athens

What The National Says About Itself…
the-national.jpgThe idea behind The National is simple: to provide a casual neighborhood gathering spot reminiscent of the bars and cafés we’ve enjoyed on travels to Europe. Mediterranean inspired food and wine is served for lunch and dinner in the dining room and throughout the day at the bar. While our menu points to culinary traditions from abroad, we value our local farmers and our dishes reflect the changing seasons in Northeast Georgia.

What Others Are Saying About The National….

  • This is the perfect spot for almost anyone who is looking for wonderful food. The food is terrific, and always a bit surprising. The atmosphere is casual enough, but you won’t feel uncomfortable if you’re dressed up.  Sailor Susanna, Athens, GA, on Trip Advisor, 7/09
  • I have a hard time carrying on a conversation when I eat at the National.  All I want to say is “Expletive, this is so good!”  If you are a foodie, or if you just love to eat good food, give this place a try. Sarah S., Lawrenceville, GA, on yelp! 7/09
  • Enjoyed a really fantastic meal at the National.  HIGHLY recommend this place if you find yourself in Athens, GA. Jason L., San Francisco, CA, on yelp! 6/09

Georgia > Central Region > Bibb County > Macon

What Fincher’s Says About Itself…
finchers1rgb500.jpgWelcome to the legendary Fincher’s Barbecue Restaurant. Established in 1935, our family has served your family for generations. Fincher’s is a family owned and operated establishment founded in Macon. Fincher’s is known for our award-winning Barbecue and our signature Barbecue sauce, it’s so well loved people come from all over the U.S. and the world to taste it. We think once you try it, you will love it.

What Others Say About Fincher’s...

  • I love this place. The people are so friendly, and they will talk to you as if they knew you for a long time. This is a great place! Mobile review by Sawyer in Urban Spoon 2/09
  • Do try the barbecue and ribs! Favorite choices are the plates of barbecue, ribs and chicken. Additional locations in town include some that are just carryout. Recommended by Southern Living’s “10 Best.”
  • Average BBQ and below average Brunswick stew in my opinion. You better check your order close because they get it wrong a lot. I do eat there from time to time because it is close, but it is not my favorite. I would rather eat at Georgia Bob’s BBQ!!! KeKeM in Yahoo Local! 3/08

What Others Say About East West Bristo

  • Rated #13 our of 63 Athens restaurants by TripAdvisor
  • If you’re planning to visit Athens and are looking for a gourmet meal without the pretension, you have got to eat at East West. They have a nice, clean atmosphere, friendly and prompt service, and excellent food. The menu is complex, with lots of surprises. The food is better than described on the menu–totally creative, sometimes unexpected, but always tasty. ATHGA, Athens, GA in Trip Advisor,  4/09
  • Arrogant hostesses, ditzy wait staff. Frozen (not fresh) shrimp! Waldorf and ahi tuna is their saving grace. Chris C, mobile review in urbanspoon 6/09
  • If you haven’t eaten at the East West Bistro in downtown Athens, you are missing out on a unique menu and great service. Big Dawg, mobile review in urbanspoon 5/09
