Food is good when fresh but closes early. Management is rude when you confront them on closing early. They must have so much business they can afford to lose all the customers they want. Not a great experience. Will not return until apologized to.

My favorite bbq of all time. When you walk in & see the old school wood paneling on the walls & decor that hasn't been updated probably ever (yet it's still CLEAN, not caked in dust or neglected) and very simple tables and booths that the focus is the BBQ & it's going to be tasty. It's in my hometown, and is a must stop whenever I visit Columbus. I have not found any other BBQ that even compares to it despite trying many different places! I personally love the chipped BBQ sandwich and Brunswick stew - but you really CAN'T go wrong.

Went here during my lunch break. Service was great, friendly staff. Pricing was very reasonable. Once I got back to work, and opened my plate there was a bug in my Mac and cheese. When I called the restaurant back and advised it was a small roach in my plate the response was “If you said a fly okay—But I haven’t seen no roach, I’ll let you talk to the manager.” Once he got on the phone there was no apology, just cut and dry “bring it to me and show me” *click*. The service up to that point was great, but to be so cut and dry as if I’m not a paying customer?… So I will do just that. Show you.

I got a scramble dog there on June 17th 2025 for lunch and it was the worst shit I had in my life. I wouldn't feed the rat that crap.. The hotdogs tastes bland , the shredded pork was horrible.

I just had the driest piece of $13 chicken in my life ! I have been going there every week for 40 years and I still got the yesterday's sad 1/2 chicken. The guys cooking could care less ! I sad it looked old but they still chose to slap that wrinkled piece of garbage on my plate. I still gave a $5 tip. I'm done now. i guess they should just give up!

Great bbq and sides! Take out or eat in...great bbq!!
Overall good experience. We tried 4 sides and two meats (pork ribs and pulled chicken). The chicken was good and moist. The ribs were honestly not great. I would not order them again. Very tough. All the sides were tasty. Nice folks running it.

Amazing 🤩 price was on point an the flavor of the food was amazing I even have got some Brunswick stew to take back with a half of sandwich for super , yep supper excited for supper time 🤤
Overall I found Macon Road BBQ to be very mediocre. Not the best I've ever had, but not the worst. Price reflected the quality so I wasn't too upset about it.
