Georgia May Be Getting Its First National Park Soon — and It Has More Than Just Scenic Trails

"If you’re not in a rush, H&H Soul Food is a Macon must. Before they were famous, The Allman Brothers Band came here to eat for free. You’ll have to pay, but you won’t mind doing so after trying the fried chicken biscuit." - Travel + Leisure Editors

The Best Restaurants in Macon, Georgia | Eater Atlanta

"When Maconites seek comfort food, H&H is where they head for it. Founded in 1959 by the late “Mama Inez” Hill and her late goddaughter and cousin “Mama Louise” Hudson, H&H has served its no-frills fare to a wide variety of clientele over the years, including the Allman Brothers, civil rights activists, and Oprah Winfrey. The restaurant now operates under the Moonhanger Group and Hudson. While soul food staples are certainly part of the draw, H&H offers some of the best breakfast in Bibb County." - Sarra Sedghi

Opened in 1959, this soul-food landmark ties directly to Macon’s music legacy and still turns out fried chicken, biscuits, and meat-and-three plates. Recognized by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and often highlighted by Southern food writers.

This place is amazing - If I could give them a 100 out of 5 I would. Amazing food made with love, everyone was so nice and made me feel like family! Terrance was so nice to me and I observed them being extra special to a customer that came in and treated them with love and respect. If you have not been here - Go! You will enjoy it! Been open since 1959 and I can see why. So great! Lots of Allman Brothers photos and other artists as well as celebrities. Love this place!!

Stopping into the H & H is like a blast in past. I had already visited the Big House on an earlier trip. So the cemetery and H&H were definitely on my “to visit” list. What was a surprise was how good the food really was. If you’re in the mood for good southern fare, that won’t break the bank. Served with a side of soul you need to pull off the highway, skip right by the chains and drop in where the brothers no doubt found good food, inspiration and collard greens!

Legendary H & H Restaurant (Allman Bros Band ate here back in the day)did not disappoint! My wife got the fried chicken dinner with greens and mac and cheese. My daughter and I got the H&H Standard...her with scrambled eggs w/ cheese, and me with fried eggs. With the exception of the greens being a little too spicy for my wife, everything else was perfect!!! In fact, I ordered an extra couple pieces of fried chicken 🍗 for myself and my daughter! $50 fed us all! We'll definitely be back (it's a 2.5 drive for us) SOON! Ask for Kiki ...she was an amazing waitress!!! Tip: Head over to the Big House after your meal (Where the Allman Bros practiced and some members lived from '70-'73). DEFINITELY worth your time and the $20 fee!

Spot on! Soul food down south...didn't come with a big enough appetite. Fried green tomatoes with their Comeback sauce Holy shit! Corn bread was sweet and soft! Catfish was breaded perfect with dill tartar sauce. Everything looked great coming out of the kitchen which we sat right next to. Terrance was soft spoken and quick. Great experience!

We had a hankering for fried chicken and this fit the bill. Fried chicken was full, crispy, and moist. Starting with fried green tomatoes, all sides were southern good and the banana pudding at the end. Woo!! Sign in to get in line, they’ll let you know you when a table is ready.

Seriously some of the best food I’ve had in my life. It’s unreal how good this place is. Staff are so kind and attentive as well!

I grew up with food that looks like this, but nothing that ever tasted like this! So good! Miss Tangie and her crew took care of us from the second we entered the door. I relocated north of Boston 17+ years ago, and my son, born there, has rarely ever had true southern food, and his allergies to dairy and egg make this hard down south. But Miss Tangie took special care of him, making modifications so he could get the experience. And then at the end of the meal, she came out from the kitchen and brought out even more food for him, just because she wanted him to be happy. I WILL be back when we make the long journey back to Macon next year. Such a pleasant experience. Fantastic food and equally fantastic human beings.

What an amazing experience! Excellent service and delicious meals! Terrance hosted us incredibly and his mom’s (the chef) season touches to each dish was a treat! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for southern soul food! Run, don’t walk!

Trip woulda been mediocre if it hadn't been for H&H Soul. The Big House and Rose Hill were wonderful - I worked up a hunger. I asked around 'bout a wholesome meal. "H&H" I was told. Like sharing with family - only BETTER eats!!! NS! Customers friendly; atmosphere home-like; nourishment unbelievable. U in Macon? H&H Soul Food is waiting. You won't be disappointed!

We had to go and I highly recommend you do as well. Limited seating so come prepared to wait, but it was worth it (and not long at all!) Limited hours, review their hours prior to visit. We had a party of 9 and were seated within 20 minutes. Keke was our server and boy, oh boy, she's a true gem! So friendly, personable and kind. Every restaurant needs someone like her!!! We had so many people I couldn't possibly review all of the food, but I can say EVERYONE thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The pickiest eater in our group, 5 years old, cleaned his plate and asked for more. 15 year old said the fried chicken (white meat) was great 10 year old ordered biscuits (it's his favorite!) and he loved them! Ate all three!!! I had the country fried steak (OMG!!!), fried okra, mashed potatoes (highly recommend getting the white gravy on the side to dip your biscuit) and mac and cheese. My sister has never had country fried steak (wild!) and loved it as well. My dad enjoyed the pork chop (no bone!) Everything was soooo good!!! We loved it! Will definitely be back!

When in Macon, you must visit this place if you're wanting a great meal. I walked in, just me and was greeted kindly. The lady seated next to me suggested the pork chop. So I got that and some catfish and sides. Plus some fried green tomatoes. Those were so good. Everything was delicious and came out fast.

Local, Local, Local and delicious. There was not one thing on the menu that I didn't want to order. I had a piece of meatloaf bigger than my hand, collard greens and rice and gravy. My husband had country fried steak that you could cut with a fork, mashed potatoes and green beans. This mail was served with cornbread butter and sweet tea. And I couldn't leave without a piece of Bread pudding. If you are traveling on the highway don't eat at a chain restaurant right of the exit. Make the 5 minute drive to a real taste of the south! We will be back!

The service was great. You can enjoy a nice southern soul food. If you're ever in macon come check this place out! It does get bust especially on a weekend so be ready to place your name and wait.

Back again in Macon and a must stop to eat is H and H. I ordered their special/ oxtails with collard greens, red beans and rice. The oxtail tasted so good and tender. A must try if it's listed in their chalk board. What a treat !

Definitely a must. This soul food restaurant in the city of Macon, GA did not disappoint. At H&H restaurant est. in 1959 still serving southern hospitality. Be sure to say hi to Kiki.

My family and I absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious and the service was so warm and friendly. Kiki did such a great job recommending different dishes and interacting with everyone who walked through the door like they were old friends. I will be dreaming about their banana pudding for years to come!

The food was amazing, the ambiance authentic and the service was total southern hospitality. Not pictured below is the fried okra my son ordered, it was so delicious and fresh as if someone picked them, chopped them, lightly breaded and fried them. Everything tasted like someone's mom made it from scratch. The cornbread was amazing and tasty, there was real butter on the table and the collards were yummy.

The food was on point. I have not had anything close to that at a restaurant for a long while, a very long while. I had the beef tips with rice, collard greens and green beans. Everything on my plate was awesome and the food I saw in other tables looked amazing. It's a cool joint, giving off great vibes. The staff was over the top friendly and extremely welcoming. They worked as a team and it flowed so well. To me, the price cannot be beat for what you get! You gotta try this place!

H&H has good service, a lack luster dining area and average food. I had the fried pork shop, which tased pretty good. The collard greens and macaroni and cheese were average. My mom had the turkey with the same sides. Be aware the turkey isn't anything we've ever seen at a soul food restaurant.

H and H put a solid soul food meal on the table with good service and a very short wait. Fried chicken, Mac and cheese, fried okra, black-eyed pleas, squash casserole were all good. The red velvet cake was freshly made and delicious. The classic rock history of the place felt authentic in the old building with some good 70s rock playing on the sound system.

I always try to stop here when I'm traveling through the area! I've been 4 times now. I love the fried chicken, pimento cheese, deviled eggs and just about everything else. I love the atmosphere from all the music posters on the wall to the great southern music of all kinds playing. Friendly staff. Historic place.

Im an Allman Brothers fan and I knew they are from Macon, GA so I thought I'd come thru and check things out. They called into this restaurant often and there are some cool picks of them on the walls. The restaurant has a wonderful vibe to it. True to form, the clientele is diverse. I had the 'Ramblin Man. Had to do it, it's one of my favorite songs. Anyway, It's something you don't get in restaurants these days. If you youngins want an experience in a restaurant like in the movies, this is a good place to check out. The food was great and everyone was really friendly. I enjoyed talking to the waitresses and the people at the tables near me. That's what it's all about after all. You can't not feel and miss the music history and see all the great memorabilia. A really cool mural on the wall as well outside. Check it out sometime.

If you want some home cooking, fast, and amazing service and food this is it! The dark meat fried chicken is amazing and the fish is just as good. All of the sides are perfect, but the bread pudding is the final cherry on top. Don't miss this little hole in the wall, you will regret it! Peach cobbler was also a great way to finish the meal!

Went in for breakfast & we enjoyed these biscuits. The Jimmy Hall was good & fresh. The meat was juicy and the sauce was the perfect amount of heat. (If you don't like spicy, it maybe too much for you.) The sausage biscuit was good as well. The server was so nice & guided us as this was our first time. *This was a to-go order*

Just a couple of Arizona kids visiting family in Macon. This was our first time here at H&H! It was delicious and the Southern hospitality and love was overflowing. We had the country fried steak, meatloaf, collard greens, fried green tomatoes, and banana pudding- ALL OUTSTANDING! Thank you Terrance for the superior service! We will definitely return.

Jim V.

Yelp
The staff was really nice and helpful with their favorites on the menu. Fried green tomatoes were delicious. We also loved the country fried steak, fried chicken, collard greens, mashed potatoes and brown gravy. The brown gravy is also used in their beef tips I believe. I would love to try more and will if ever in town again. The only thing just OK was the meatloaf.

Idk how I've lived in Macon my entire life and have never been to H & H but I found out what I've been missing! Stopped in for brunch and I had a chicken biscuit with bacon jam, cheddar, and pimento cheese on it and it was phenomenal! The hashbrown casserole was not so great -- barely like warm, under salted, and mostly tasted like mashed potatoes. I won't get that again but I can't wait to go back and try several other menu items! Service was excellent, too!

This place was everything I had hoped it would be and more. The food, service and "feel" were perfect. I highly recommend the country fried steak (lunch the first day) and the fried pork chop biscuit (breakfast the second day). Go. You will not regret it.

We knew we must try the H&H Restaurant after viewing the Big House (the Allman Brother's Museum). We arrived 10-15 minutes before closing time, but our waitress let us know that it was no problem. We got the meat and 3 so we could try the fried chicken, country steak and gravy and all six veggie options. We're smart that way!! Everything was hot and the meats were delicious. The biscuits were not from scratch but the vegetables were cooked with care and were tasty. I was very happy to see the restaurant has kept it's nostalgic charm and fantastic memories. Such a wonderful place to visit and enjoy. I love the mural!!

Amazing experience!! We had the fried chicken, catfish, deviled eggs and red eye!! The biscuits are DELICIOUS!! Our server Keke gave spot on recommendations. The tables are turned over quickly. We came on a Saturday morning about 1030a and were immediately seated. Ask for the house preserve for your biscuits. Stop reading and come eat here!!

Average food at best. Catfish was ok, but not served with any condiments. Veggies were average. Soul rolls less than inspired. Sorry.

Iconic Southern Rock ambiance, great breakfast.Friends who have lived in Macon chimed in on my Facebook pic of brisket hash (it was great) to endorse my choice for breakfast recently. I had taken in a show at Grant's Lounge, walking distance nearby.

This is a small, unassuming restaurant with incredible food! We went for brunch on Sunday since it was one of the few places open, and we are so glad we did. My biscuit was huge, and the chicken breast was bigger! The grits were nice and thick, not runny. The fruit was freshly cut, not flavorless chunks in syrup. My husband had the cubed steak and mashed potatoes and loved it. You could tell the food was homemade and fresh. I highly recommend H and H, it has great food and a great story!

Delicious food and wonderful service. I'm from the South and I promise you won't find any better Soul Food anywhere! All of the meats we selected were world class, the sides were amazing, and the biscuits were crazy good! Everything is made in house so it's fresh and tasty. I can't say enough about the customer service as well. I highly recommend checking them out if you already haven't!!!!!!! Also, their pimento cheese and their chicken salad were top notch as well!!!

If you find yourself in Macon, GA - or anywhere near - stop in at H&H Soul Food. Fun history, amazing breakfast. Best pancakes ever. Fabulous biscuits. And the fried green tomatoes .

This place was really small but the tables were spaced out. Our server Amanda was the only one wearing a mask helping customers. No one in the kitchen wore masks either. That being said. The food was really good. I got waffle breakfast with bacon and eggs. Cooked perfectly. Actually I think the waffles were porky made but so far my favorite waffles ever. They had a crisp like they were over cooked but they were perfect. Also got deviled eggs. They were just like how my mother made them but it had a little too much mustard I think otherwise it was exactly the same. We also got chicken an a biscuit which was good. I didn't try it but I was told the chicken was crispy and the biscuit was moist. Customers didn't wear masks and the place got full quick. By the time we got our food came out there was another server that had her mask on. Ow although he never wore a mask the guy that told us about the strawberry cobbler was super nice.

I had the midnight rider and it was good... Had it my way the next day and it was amazing!!! The bacon onion jam was too intense for me unfortunately. But the egg cooked over medium was perfect! The chicken breast was moist, but the biscuit was a tad bit dry. The fruit was a perfect contrast! The deviled eggs were a bit sweet, but added a sprinkle of salt & pepper and it improved the taste... I would definitely come back for a chicken biscuit, but with the bacon onion jam & pimento cheese on the side!

Don't sleep on H&H! Decided to swing by on our way out of town. Can't believe we never ate here while we lived in Macon. Kirk's Mystic Gravy Biscuits and the Red Dog. Hot d@mn. There just aren't words to adequately honor the Red Dog. Loved it -- equally pleased with the service and nostalgic ambiance with reverence to local music legends. We'll be back.

Food is great, but the employees are rebelling against the menu. They don't own the restaurant and they need to stop complaining to customers about what you can order and what you can't. Every entrée on the weekends comes with fresh fruit, but getting them to serve you the fresh fruit it's like pulling teeth they complain about how the fresh fruit goes to waste and how they don't wanna cut it wash it prepare it. I've been five times in the last two months and every time they make a extravagant point to explain how they do not want to make fruit and that it needs to go off the menu or they wait until you're five minutes done with your meal to bring it out as a protest for asking, Sorry but I like fruit and please don't treat me bad when I ask for it.

Staff is extremely entitled and cuts corners ordered unsweet tea then waitress complained about making it and insisted I drink sweet and poured me sweet I said I could not drink it because it was bothering my health as it was to much sugar she complained. Also do not advertise fruit for brunch if when you ask for it the wait staff complains about cutting up fruit. I had to ask for fruit when we ordered and an additional 3 times to finally get it at the end the fruit at the end of our meal with the check! I come 2 or 3 times a week and staff is cutting corners bad
