"Despite its prime location in a thriving African American business district, H&H Restaurant is perhaps best remembered today for its connections to Macon’s rich music heritage. Recently discovered and recording right up the street, the Allman Brothers Band supposedly pooled their money together to share two meals at H&H one afternoon because that was all they could afford. “Mama” Louise felt sorry for the boys and brought them their own individual meals and told them to pay her when they had the money. The band did not forget Mama Louise’s kindness and came back to visit her after they “made it.” Partially remembered for being an integrated band during a time of racial tension and segregation, the Allman Brothers Band is also remembered in this spot, making the restaurant a landmark of both food and music history. An old H&H table is even featured at the Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House."
