 Papolili’s Mediterranean Café and Market

If you’re in the mood for a burger (stick with me)…

The Rookery

The Rookery is one of the most well-known burger places in Downtown, Macon. When most no-meat-eaters hear the word burger, they immediately think they need to go elsewhere. Think again! The rookery offers a veggie patty for all the burgers on the menu. Keep in mind that some of these burgers do have bacon, like the Ray Charles and Dr. John Burger, so make sure to ask for one with no meat. The burgers cost around $9-$12.
