    Nice atmosphere. Warm welcome from the hostess. Took a short while before being acknowledged and asked for our drink order. Waitress was pleasant, BUT the $14 Shrimp & grits were GRITTY. Could not taste the cheese in the grits. My neice complained of tasting hair in her burger. The fried green tomatoes weren't seasoned well to our taste.

    What a great downtown Macon dining experience. They are dog friendly and super cute outdoor seating. String lights can be seen throughout the downtown area. The food and service was spectacular.

    First time here, came for Burger Week. The tavern getti was good. Make sure you get the side of marinara, but I like my spaghetti saucy.

    Great atmosphere, really good food, and the staff was great. We stopped by on our way back to Atlanta at lunchtime and brought our two year old. Everyone was so sweet to her and surprised her with the best smiley pancake. Thank you! Hope to come back soon!

    Great service - 2 burgers one was great - one was overcooked. Beautiful salad- bland shrimp - would return becuase service was perfect- and try other foods 😀

    The food is good. I like the choices of burgers and the service was incredible. The person who served me was nice and patient with me as i had to leave the restaurant and put my food on hold to handle something. And the atmosphere was fine but i wasn’t a big fan of the live music. We made sure to sit in the back so we can have a chat with the people we invited but the music was too loud. And i wasn’t into it as it was just one dude pretty much yelling. But I don’t blame the restaurant as they don’t really choose what songs they play and what the performance will be like. Overall I enjoyed it. But i will make disclaimer that a party over 6 will be taxed by group size. I wasn’t told and some were upset by it but im sure it was a county rule or something like that.

    The collards were cooked to perfection and very tasty! The Rueben was also very delicious fresh and I enjoyed it very much. The moo hoo dark beer was the cherry on the cake. There may have been a touch extra butter than needed on the rueben nut not enough to complain about just enough to lightly grease the fingers. The bartender Jordan was great. She was obviously busy but ensured I waited and wanted for nothing. The beer she recommended was delicious and cold. The food was hot and everything was prompt. I will be back and happy to have Jordan serve me again.

    It was the perfect chill spot, for New Years so I thought. Only to find out that the 2 bartenders were the least attentive service guys ever. It would have been acceptable is the bar was packed. But there was no real crowd maybe 20 people for the entire hour I was present.. Won't be going back

    Once the waitress got to the table, the service picked up, but we waited around 30 minutes for the waitress to come take our order. The hostess came back around 15 minutes in and did take our drink order, but we were not offered any refills on our drinks and ended up ordering salads so that we did not have to wait forever on the food to be cooked. This place was extremely under staffed considering it was Mercer's graduation night and a concert at the Macon Coliseum. The table beside us actually had to go find their waitress and it turned out she was talking over at the bar. This place has such great potential, but lack of staff/planning really influenced my thoughts on the establishment.

    Great spot downtown for lunch! The entire staff was friendly. Food was great, it came out super fast & they had an amazing beer selection! I was only there for lunch, but they had a super cool looking beer garden area out back with a stage for live entertainment. Got to go back to check it out.

    I want to preface my review by saying that I never write reviews and I never complain or send food back or tip poorly. If I get something I didn’t order or it’s wrong, I typically either don’t say anything or let the server know and make sure they know it’s not a big deal and I’m just informing them for their own knowledge. If I get poor quality (undercooked or not fresh), I’ll send it back and ask for something else. Until today. When my girlfriend and I first walked in, we were greeted by the hostess and told it would be a 15 minute wait. No big deal, it seemed to be the after-church rush, so a 15-20 minute wait is perfectly reasonable. We were given a menu to review while we waited, and were seated in about 10 minutes. Off to a good start. After a reasonable amount of time, a server came by our table and told us that she’s not our server but she’d get us started as our server, Matt, was cashing out a large party. No big deal. She asked what we wanted to start with, and informed us that they had no Pimento Bacon Fritters (what we wanted) and no Southwest Egg Rolls (our second option) and that they also couldn’t make any pizza. So, nearly half the menu gone from the start. We settled on the Fried Green Tomatoes that were advertised as “fried to perfection” and we ordered water to drink. Our drinks were brought promptly, in plastic cups, and our app was brought in timely fashion. However, the tomatoes were not fried to perfection. They were undercooked and soggy, and the breading came off in the sauce rather than the sauce sticking to the tomato. This app costs $9 and came with three tomato slices. Overpriced even if cooked correctly. We each ate one and left the other one on the plate. The first person who came to our table (not Matt, who we’d still not seen) brought us the app and she asked if we were ready to order, which we were. My girlfriend ordered the Blackened Chicken Salad and I asked for the Kickin Chicken Sandwich, to which I was told “We don’t have the kickin bourbon sauce so it comes with chili on it instead. Is that ok?” I replied, “No,” and changed my order to the Buffalo Bleu Burger. She took our order and said she’d return soon with more water and some “silverware”. We never got more water at all and I put silverware in quotations because when the “silverware” came out it was actually a clear plastic fork and knife. Also, that’s the first time we saw Matt. We joked about the plastic utensils and how ridiculous it is to be at a place charging $9 for three tomato slices, $16 for a burger, and $14 for a salad only to receive plastic utensils and water in a clear Solo cup. But what the heck, the pictures of the food looked good so it would be fine because our food was coming. Boy, were we wrong. First, we were offered a “complimentary” serving of the tomatoes “for our wait,” which we rejected. My burger was edible, but was clearly a frozen burger patty. The fries were your average fries, but I dipped them in the leftover Bearsauce from the pitiful tomatoes and that stepped them up. Then, there was my girlfriend’s blackened chicken salad. Blackened is a stretch. Putting salt and pepper on chicken and grilling it is not what blackened is. Blackened is its own seasoning, and I’m not sure that piece of chicken has ever been in the same room as a container of blackened seasoning. But that’s not the worst part, because the chicken was still edible. The worst part is that she spent more time pulling brown lettuce and romaine ends out of her salad than she did eating. Matt came by and asked if everything was ok. “No,” I replied, and politely explained to him our complaints. He told us he felt like we were directing everything at him and seemed offended. I refused to pay for the salad and tomatoes, paid for my burger, and left without tipping. I couldn’t take my food that I paid for because they were out of to-go boxes. This got blamed on a 40 person party they’d known about for 3 days (Matt told me this.) Also, the first server told us that “Sundays are always like this.”

    Good pub food. Both had fish and chips. Nicely battered and tasty crust. Fish just ever so slightly overcooked and crinkle fries were obviously frozen fries. But still good. A couple of the beers have an asterisk by them which means they’re a bogo. Fortunately for us, we saw that on the menu 😅. Overall decent food and good prices.

    Chicken wings were great! So were the pork belly tacos. The bartender was great, and super friendly. Unfortunately she was by herself, so we had to wait longer than expected. And they were out of the Philly cheesesteak at 4:30 which was disappointing. Overall, we do recommend.

    My husband and I have always loved Bearfoot. We have come here dozens of times over the years but the more we come the more we see this place go downhill. They always seem to be out of pizza dough and 1/3 of their menu is a variety of pizzas. They frequently cannot make certain mixed drinks because they are out of certain types of liquor. And they've gotten rid of some of their absolute best menu options over the years including their Luigi's spring rolls. My heart breaks to see this awesome place take a turn for the worse.

    We came for the burger week burger and found an amazing pizza as well. The hostess was sure to let us know the timing in the kitchen was behind and she could seat us but we'd have to wait. Time passed by quickly we enjoyed the fried pimento cheese dipped in sweet chili sauce!!!!

    We stopped at 2 other restaurants before picking this one. One had too long of a wait… the other seemed unfriendly and I inviting. The hostess here met us with a big smile and turned out also to be our server and she was great. We started with the fritters and they were delicious. I got the truffle oil pizza. It was good but a little meh…I would definitely try a different one next time. My friends had the burger and it was delicious. Recommend getting the loaded tater tots with them. We weren’t told that it would be $2 more, which made it a bit on the pricey side for a burger in Macon but I would go back 🙂

    The place was a bit loud, and the pizza took a while to be made, but the food was really damn good all around the board. I also know that the order was delayed for the pizza. The people next to us got their burgers within minutes, and I was told my wings were ready long before the pizza was. Can't be mad, though; the pizza was great. Highly recommend coming by here if you're in town.

    Hate to leave a negative review cause our initial experience sitting at the bar was fantastic, but the dining experience was terrible. We had the steak and potatoes which sadly we could have gotten a better steak at shoneys. Steak had no seasoning and overcooked and the potatoes and broccoli was tasteless. Sorry but we will not be coming back. We were really looking forward to this place and such a disappointment.

    We arrived too late for dinner service but we had a great time in no small part due to our server Kayleigh, she was an absolute hoot! The late night menu was perfect to help soak up the booze needed for driving on the road all day.

  • 5/5 Earl C. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff at Bearfoot is very friendly and attentive. I enjoy that they have a diverse selection of beers unlike most other places around Macon. Most times when I come to eat they have some form of special that is not on the menu. Probably the only suggestion I could make for this restaurant would be to switch up the menu selection just a little. What is on their menu is good. As a regular I’d like something different from time to time. Over all an awesome place with a manager that doesn’t seem to miss much.

  • 4/5 Robert M. 1 year ago on Google
    Sat by myself in the bar area. Took over 15 minutes to get a bartenders attention to get a drink and place my order. Food was very good and had a great vibe about the place. I'd try it again next time I'm in town. I just won't sit in the bar area. Nice to see a local place doing so well, they were very busy.

  • 5/5 Mary D. 1 year ago on Google
    We meet someone that told us about this place so we checked it out. The place looks looks great from the time you walk I . However, the food was wonderful. We had the Presto Chicken sandwich and the Fried Chicken sandwich and both were very good. However, no matter what you get you must get some fries. Never had fries like this before and they were great. Tossed in parmasen cheese while still hot. We will go back as we want to try the bread pudding.

    Went for brunch on Sunday around 11:45/noonish. (8/21/22). A friend of mine had recommended their brunch, and honestly, I was disappointed. The restaurant was the least busy of surrounding establishments, so I thought the service would be decent. Our waitress, whom’s name I can’t remember, was great at first. I ordered pimento bacon fritters as an appetizer, and my SO ordered the loaded tots. The fritters were not as I remembered having them a while back. Super doughy and seemed like they may have been sitting a while before I had gotten them. The pepper bacon jam was on point though. But mostly tasted like sweet chili sauce that comes out of a glass jar. The tots were subpar. We each ordered a beer and decided to share the silver dollar pancake plate. The eggs were the only notable thing on the plate. The pancakes were hard and over cooked and honestly tasted like cheap cupcake batter. The grits were so congealed and not even hot, super thick. Could have at least added some hot water to them for consistency purposes. After they sit in a steam well for so long they become thick and inedible. The bacon was super chewy and almost under cooked. I had high hopes for a great brunch experience, and was severely let down by the lack of love and quality put into the food. Our server seemed like she had too many tables, as we were there for almost TWO hours waiting on our finishing service and the check. I probably will not be back for brunch.

    Went for by bff's bday. The customer service is unmatched in the Macon area. Every employee that passes you, asks if you need anything. The experience was awesome and the food was LIT!!!!! WE had a party of 15 and it went great for everyone!! Our waitress was pregnant and pleasant❤️❤️❤️ I almost wanted to throw her a baby shower myself☺️

    The food and the service was amazing. I don't remember our servers name but she did a fantastic job.

    Best food I've had at a restaurant in years. Good beer, lots to choose from. Excellent service, Brandon was superb and lots of fun. Got us served quickly on a very busy night so we could make our concert on time. Highly recommend.

    Vame here for a private party after a wedding. Our server Mimi was absolutely fantastic. Amazingly attentive. Good was awesome! We tried a bit of everything. The pimento appetizer was stand out for me. Thank you so much for having us we look forward to our next visit.

    Definitely a place to check out in Macon. Was in town for a Mercer game, went there when it was pretty busy, and were the only ones in the outside seating. Service was great. Food was out fast and hot! Burgers were excellent and the BBQ wings were fantastic. Great 1st experience. Will be back

  • 5/5 Caroline C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is really a gem. They have two bartenders named Will and they are both really great at tending bar, but Will S. is better. The vibes are good, the food is great, and the drinks are better. TWO THUMBS UP.

  • 4/5 Tiffani H. 2 years ago on Google
    Pimento cheese fritters...yes, please and thank you. The food is pretty good. Service was meh. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't exceptional. It looked like their bar area was the place to be though.
