Ocmulgee Brewpub

We had a fairly large group when we visited Ocmulgee Brewpub but the venue was amazing and handled us well. I'd gotten the cop salad which was great. I enjoyed the grilled chicken. We really enjoyed the communal dining experience. I think they pulled it off really well here. I'd love to come back and try something new and would highly recommend anyone checking it out.

Okay, we were super excited to try this place. I ordered the “Nashville” Hot Chicken Sandwich and thought it would come out with the ghost pepper sauce and it would be hot. Nope. Not even a smidgen of hot. I think they forgot the sauce altogether or even the “Nashville” hot level. The sandwich was not spicy at all. It came with cole slaw but was kale slaw. My sandwich was seriously swimming in grease. The chicken breading was burnt from them using old frying oil. The only hot item was the fried pickles and they were overly salty but ok. My boyfriend preferred the Ocmulgee original and it came out raw. Like pink raw. He ordered medium and he just ate it because he’s just that kind of guy and won’t make a big deal and have someone just remake it. I was excited for the shoe string fries except they were dry, crunchy, cold and zero taste. They had been sitting under the heat lamp quite a while. They were awful. Someone recommended this place and not even sure why but unfortunately our experience was horrible. I ate half my sandwich and a few pickle chips and threw the rest away. He ate his burger the best he could and I seriously hope he doesn’t get sick from the burger not being cooked. Everyone was nice inside. It wasn’t busy. The place seemed clean inside but not the outside tables. They were all ready to go home. LOL

Love this brewery! Always make sure to stop by when I’m driving through Macon. Their burgers are outstanding and their beer is even better. But this story goes above and beyond. My wife and I had recently moved and unfortunately in the move lost (misplaced) a couple boxes we haven’t been able to find. In one of those boxes was my Ocumulgee brewery shirt. I had checked on the site and noticed there was no online store. So I reached out to the brewery in regards to possibly getting a new shirt. Anna and Brandon responded almost immediately, they sent me photos of what they had and not only that but took time out of their busy day to keep in contact and personally go to the post office to mail me a new shirt. Not only that but did this all during and before the busy holiday so I could get my shirt before Christmas! Thank you Anna and Brandon for all your help you guys are truly awesome! You have a customer for life any time I’m in Macon! Happy Holidays to all your staff. Cheers!

We at here for a late lunch on a Friday. Great find. The burgers and fries were quite good. The only item I didn’t like was the onion rings. They’re beer battered and fresh, but the batter was way too thick and soggy for me. They smelled amazing, but I want a crunch with my onion rings, not a soggy smoosh. Maybe some people like that style of batter, but it’s not for me. The fries were also fresh, simple, and fantastic. I had the patty melt - 10/10. I was full but couldn’t stop.

So many unique and delicious burgers and sauces and I've tried each one. Shoe string fries and Sweet potato fries are the best, try with the truffle aoli. I used to not be able to finish a burger but in the past month they made the burgers smaller and got rid of the Mexican sodas for standard coke products. I guess they didn't want to raise prices like everyone else so they made everything smaller but still really good and filling

Their patty melt is the BEST BURGER IN TOWN!! Their patty melt was huge and I was only able to finish half and not even half of the fries on my plate!! Everything tasted so fresh! Also be sure to try their fried pickles that are amazing! On a side note their sodas are fair trade sodas sweetened with cane sugar. I didn’t try them so I can’t give my option on them. I drank the sweet tea that is sweetened with regular sugar and it was good. I did make it a half & half because of how sweet it was, but that is because I do not normally drink sweet tea and everyone else enjoyed it. Definitely stop in and try one of their awesome burgers!!
