Heavys-bar-b-que-4727

True Southern bar-b-que with a one-of-a-kind restaurant experience you won't want to miss. Used in the movie "Sweet Home Alabama" and near the historical town of Crawfordville, GA (...also the home of the South's beloved Alexander Stephens...), Heavy's Bar-b-que is owned and operated by "Heavy" Grant and his family.

"Under the Bridge" is where you'll find this oh, so comfortable and majestic restaurant tucked away. The atmosphere is excellent as is the food. Excellent lunch menu - pricing is right on target.

Bass Pro Shop - Macon

lat:32.93287559883428

Bass Pro Shop is the ultimate in hunting, fishing, just got to go there shopping. The Macon location is EZ access and little traffic!! It is a great way to pass a rainy day with little or no budget! While the goods are all Bass Pro, each location has something unique from the others. Need a pit stop while traveling 75-South - take the Bass Road exit in Macon and you're there!

1-706-595-0040

lat:33.421985709613295
lng:-82.48603820800781

"Steak & Seafood to Dye For" - their slogan says it all. This is the best seafood buffet in Georgia - bar none! From boiled shrimp and crab legs, to the fried oysters, shrimp, frog legs and quail.....oops, did I forget the catfish filets and grits? I dare you to top the seafood at Dye's - owned noneother than by the extended family relations of the famous Pat Dye who coached football at the University of Auburn. The next time you're in Eastern Georgia out I-20 way - Dye's is well worth the south turn off the Interstate. Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday's only.

This is a great family fun (or other group) day trip that I highly recommend. It is a one of a kind experience like no other. In addition to riding the rail to see southern Georgia, the train offers a "Snack Bar Car" as well! Be sure to check out the different schedules for different trips and stops. The SAM's Shortline also goes to the Vidalia Onion Festival! Don't miss the train's gift shop as well.
