Food is good. The owner is rude racist mean to me a customer and to the black man waiter. I watch her yell at the black male waiter, who I know is a helper. She doesn't yell at white women waiter in the same manner. NEVER. Not the first experience with this disgusting behavior. But the last. She needs to be held accountable. Me and my coworkers won't be back. And the women's bathroom has no ventilation and stinks all the time.

This food lives up to its name. I ordered the chicken fajita bowl, with the yellow rice. It was absolutely incredible.
The chicken was oven roasted and not dry, the vegetables tasted like they went out back and picked them for my plate, the Pico was SUPER fresh and well made, and they gave me a nice, generous portion of sour cream and cheddar cheese (fresh grated), and the rice was so savory that it was standing on its own business.
I got my food so fast that I wasn't even able to daydream. It couldn't have been more than five minutes, and it was made so well that quick.
I feel this nourishing my SOUL for 14 bucks. Thank you!

I'm changing a previously great review after having a horrid experience with the owner. The other staff was amazing and the food was good. The owner was extremely rude when I asked for clarification about an allergy issue. When a family member left a review about it, the owner lied and said I had already been told and refused to accept the answer. She also said I went to a take out window where 5 (or6?) people were waiting. There was no one at all. I went to the window because I saw her standing near there and the staff were very busy. After several lies, some excuses for her bad behavior and more rudeness to my family, the owner said if we come back, our meal would be on her. After seeing her erratic moods, I wouldn't trust anything she offered me to eat! In summary, if you have no allergies and can avoid the owner, you might be ok here since the overpriced food does taste ok and the other staff, especially Brittany and the gentleman who was serving, are wonderful!

Our waitress Brittany was amazing. There was a question about allergies and the owner was super rude and condescending. When questions were asked, she seemed bothered and angry. This is the secondencounter with the owner where she was rude. I assumed the first time she may have had a bad day and was busy. Twice is too much. The way she spoke to staff and us was entirely unacceptable. Its disappointing bc the allergy is severe and can cause life threatening complications. You don't have to understand or be super cheerful but acting like customers are stupid is ridiculous.
Edited to respond. Majority of what you responded is NOT true. Admitting that you are an angry, condescending human is probably asking too much but telling the truth should a regular part of your day to day. There was absolutely no one at the window and our waitress was busy when our food was brought out so passing the blame to her isn't ok. Asking for clarification shouldn't be an inconvenience to you. And why did you check on other tables and not ours? Did you want us to flag you down and continue with someone who is rude and disrespectful? That wouldn't have gone well for anyone, I assure you. Constructive criticism is something that all owners should appreciate. You clearly cant acknowledge that you messed up. But its ok, you won't have to deal with any of us ever again. And why do you have your staff working in 120° temps. Im obviously local and I guarantee you its not 120 anywhere around macon. If it is that temp inside, you should have closed your restaurant for the day. Please stop lying AND exaggerating.
The owner is super rude . The wait staff is very sweet but just due to how horrible the owner is we will not be returning . Not understanding how dangerous life threatening allergies is enough to never come back ALONG WITH A OWNERS AWFUL ATTITUDE!!!!

Edit in response to the owner : she was absolutely horrible to us . We did try and check things with her and she had the most horrible attitude I’ve ever seen in this industry. Brittany our waitress was amazing but due to the owner being so rude and ugly we WILL NEVER RETURN !!!! So sad !!!

Service was quick and friendly. I was greeted with smiles as soon as I got there. I got the summer salad with the cran raisins, strawberries, peaches, (and maybe one other berry I can’t remember). Feta cheese and a recommended lemon vinaigrette. Salad was DELICIOUS! So fresh I wished I could eat it everyday. The only downfall was that I added chicken. The chicken was not good. It taste bland and it was chewy. I’d probably recommend just adding salmon as a protein instead.
Tip: the chicken needs more flavor and cut off the freezer burnt or fat pieces that made it taste chewy
Otherwise WONDERFULLY FRESH SALAD
My salad was $16 and came in a standard size Togo styrofoam plate so pretty big

Grow is amazing! We were traveling to the Savannah area and stopped in for what I knew would be a great lunch by my friend and owner, Saralyn Collins. And was I right! I had a grilled Greek salad and my plate was overflowing with fresh cut, crisp lettuce, tender tasty chicken and other Greek salad goodies. My friend had Mom’s chicken salad sandwich, which was huge and over stuffed. He ate every bite. He's a very picky eater and he loved it! Service was amazing, and Saralyn walks by every table to greet patrons and make sure everything was to the satisfaction. That's no surprise, knowing her. We highly recommend this restaurant, whether you want vegetables, salads or sandwiches. The menu changes monthly. It's worth a stop if you're traveling through, and it's a must if you're staying or live in Macon. Thank you, Saralyn and staff! And if you need catering for an event, this is you place! She's catered several events I have promoted and/or been a part of, and did an incredible job.
