About

Born in the same era that saw Jimmy Carter rise to the White House and Macon's own Capricorn Records change the sound of rock 'n' roll, The Rookery has been serving up legendary burgers, shakes, and good times since 1976. For nearly 50 years, you've made The Rookery what it is today. Thank you for choosing us, sharing meals with us, and being part of our story. Here's to many more!

Our burgers aren't just local favorites — they're award-winning legends. Voted Best Burger in Macon, each one is crafted with quality beef, stacked high with bold toppings, and named after Southern music icons like The Jimmy Carter Burger, and The Allman Burger. Whether you're a purist or a flavor adventurer, there's a burger on our menu that hits the perfect note.
