I love Fresh Air. I was introduced to its great tasting barbeque over 12 years ago when a local Macon attorney sent foidvto our office for being a firm client as an appreciation to us being a client. I have been a fan of FRESH AIR BAR-B- QUE every since. When I want to give myself a special treat Fresh Air Bar-B- Que is it. Keep serving it up guys. Its a friendly atmosphere for everyone.

Lunchroom quality at best! I hate to say this cuz I can't stand this place myself but Sonny's bar-bq got them Beat! People surely don't know much about barbecue anymore! Anyone ever remember the true Harolds in downtown near the old GM plant in Lakewood that was barbecue! Old Hickory house in Forest Park that the Smokey and the Bandit had small part in the film that was barbecue! That's all I have to say about that!
