★★★★★ 5.0 Kenneth Davis · Apr 2025

Cox Cafe harkens back to an era before there were chain restaurants littering the landscape. Walking in, you feel like you have been transported back in time to a place where everyone knew each other, and you knew that you were going to be welcomed. Friendly service, warm smiles, and hot food since 1996. This is not a place that you are going to happen by while driving around. Cox Cafe is located deep in the industrial part of Macon. This is where the hard-working folks come to eat a hearty meal before heading back to work. We came today based on a recommendation from a friend. We are glad we did. The food was good, and the servings were plentiful. You won't leave here hungry. What a wonderful experience!

The best place to eat some real home cooked southern food! This place reminds me of my mother's cooking growing up. If you've never tried it, you're missing out!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tomi Sears · May 2024

Cox Cafe is a hidden gem in Macon. The food is always fresh, the prices are extremely reasonable, and you can not beat the staff for amazing friendliness & customer service!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Brian Bowen · May 2017

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.

★★★★★ 5.0 bryan @ UltraClean · Aug 2018

This is one of those "off the beaten path" kind of places that you usually only know about because someone else took you there or told you about it or you just happen to stumble upon it & when you go there, you are soooooo glad you did because you do not find places that cook home cooked meals like this hardly anywhere. VERY GOOD FOOD!!
