What Brian Bowen likes about Cox Cafe:
The staff is always friendly here. Their fried chicken, so good. And they are the only place in Macon that has fried corn bread. Not a hoe cake, fried corn bread. The cabbage could have used a bit more flavor. It could seem a bit sketchy at first but the food is worth it. View all feedback.

Cox is one of the best country breakfast spots that I have visited. The food, service, and atmosphere was top-notch. I will definitely be back.

Wish I could eat there every morning . Salmon patties scrambled eggs with cheese and toast .

The restaurant, located in an industrial area, may seem a bit unexpected at first but the food is well worth it. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is homey with local working folk coming in for lunch. The Southern dishes served are fresh and delicious, with standout items such as the fried chicken and lace cornbread. While the cabbage could use more flavor, the overall experience of dining at this mom and pop farm/industrial Cafe is highly recommended. It's a no frills, good food establishment that offers great size servings at a good price. Whether you try the beef tips, fried pork chops, or spicy sausages, this restaurant is a must-visit for those looking for a taste of authentic Southern cuisine in Macon.
