Shark's Fish & Chicken Chicago Style — Restaurant in Macon

This has to be one of the best restaurants in Macon, and I've eaten in quite a few. Nothing fancy and you won't mind it. I think it's an old Huddle House or something like it. The "ambiance", if that's what you're looking for, is the joy on the people's faces as they anticipate their food. You know they know.

Went in about 8PM and there was a long line. Good indication of what was in store. As the sign says, this is NOT a fast food joint. It took maybe 10-15 minutes to get the food, but it was well worth the wait. The ladies at the counter were amazing and even working non-stop they had the right attitude. Make sure to drop a few bills in the tip jar. They deserve everything they get!

I had the catfish dinner with two of the biggest most perfectly fried portions I've had anywhere. They have their frying game down to a science here. There were lots of fries, a couple of small hush puppies, and the slaw was okay. Slaw is very subjective I think. This slaw was a little sweet, but not sickeningly so like a lot of the slaw you get in Georgia. Also, I didn't get the spice sprinkled on my order, but most people do. I'm glad they give you an option. I've just found that a lot of these add-on seasonings are far too salty for me. Oh, and the sweet tea is good, but I made mine half-and-half.

Don't forget to grab utensils because as busy as these ladies are, they might forget. You'll forgive them for that once you get your food.

My new go-to place in Macon. It's out of the way, on the east side near the Ocmulgee National Monument, but it's worth the drive from...

We do like the food but I don't think we've ever ever gotten an order that was correct. Today for instance we paid for DoorDash which costs a fortune. Called the restaurant to make sure that we got things the way we wanted them. Notated not to forget the slaw please. No slaw came in the order. There were no sauces for the fried mushrooms no sauces for the shrimp or oysters. It's like they just can't get the order put together. And we all know when you order through a delivery service that the food is more expensive than it is at the restaurant. The prices through DoorDash versus their normal prices are generally two or three dollars more per item you're getting. We paid over $54 for two combos and a order of fried mushrooms. That's ridiculous but it was our choice to order it. I'm just saying if you're going to pay a fortune for something they could at least...
