Soul food restaurants are a dime a dozen in the South, but very few have as much history as H&H Restaurant in Macon, Georgia. The restaurant is beloved by music fans for being where the former owner, “Mama” Louise, fed the lanky young men who became The Allman Brothers Band.
You can see the posters of the musical acts that came through the doors all over the walls. Opened in 1959 by Inez Hill and Louise Hudson, H&H was desegregated during the Civil Rights Movement, one of the few places in Macon.
Breakfast and lunch are the main attractions, both of which include their famous fried chicken. For breakfast, grab one of their biscuits, topped with fried chicken, pimento cheese or country ham. Pair with drip coffee.
For heartier eaters, there’s also breakfast plates with all the fixings. For lunch, choose from plate lunches that change daily. Fried chicken is available every day, along with meatloaf. Other daily options include beef tips, fried pork chop, catfish, and chicken and dumplings.
