The food was delicious. I had the honey mustard chicken salad sandwich and a side of hopping John. The flavors were bold, not bland at all. My only complaint was service. It was 2:30 pm on a Wednesday. It was dead but the staff were all standing in the front talking and not checking on the customers. The couple beside me had to go find them to pay and I was out of my seat to find my guy when he showed up. Otherwise I was happy about the place. I just hope they step it up when they are busy. read more

Anyone else have severe allergies gastrointestinal problems after eating here yesterday? Second visit here with family. Service was painfully slow. Service seemed very timid and unsure of menu. Two of four in our party had black bean burger and chili. We both had the most intense stomach pain and were in the bathroom all night. Think twice before you order these items. Will never be back read more

Pros: Nice waiter Quick service Inexpensive Right next to the Riverwalk. Cons: A/C set very low, we were freezing Spinach dip was okay but salty and had a vinegary taste. Turkey and rice soup was very salty, not warm enough. The bread on our sandwiches were not a good quality... and not fresh Sides with sandwiches were subpar.... Regular chips on one and tasteless pasta salad on the other. read more

Nothing has changed. A little disappointing. Tried the southern gent this time, it was extremely dry, and the bread was falling apart. At least the pasta salad wasn't dry this go round. It was pretty empty considering it was peak lunchtime. The only good thing was the service, Rhagen was great. She's been there quite some time, she was our server a year ago. read more

Make sure you arrive 60 to 90 minutes prior to closing. We made the big mistake of, first timers as this was highly recommended by friends, arriving 38 minutes prior to closing. Not the first greeting from anyone other than the bartender. Folks cleaning, sweeping, and actually rolling up the welcome carpet mat. We got our order to go and the cake is just above average . If we do go back we will arrive 3 hours prior to closing. One employee did say sorry but I've been working three straight days in a row--LOL--GTFOOH with that BS As a local business owner who lives and works in the community I would be ashamed of my staff so I hope the owner gets to see this review!!! Your client facing team can make or break a local business read more

Key lime cheesecake-not as firm as cheesecake I guess more like pie. Great desserts. I got nachos-they were mediocre but price reasonable. Service was decent and ambiance more rustic. read more

This was a great place to stop for lunch on our way back home. The Tuna Carpaccio was amazing! Donna got the tomato soup and salad, i got The pimento cheeseburger which was very good but since the tuna Carpaccio and the tomato soap was so good i was wishing i tried one of the sandwiches that I was on the fence about. The place has a cool vibe and the service was spot on. read more

Boll Weevil - Southern Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Southern charm, incredible lunch, legendary desserts, and truly wonderful service Boll Weevil is one of those places that feels like you stumbled into something special. From the moment you see the brick building and walk inside, you get this warm, classic Georgia café vibe. It is cozy, welcoming, and full of character. It is the kind of place you want to slow down and enjoy. We came in for lunch and everything was outstanding. I had the Curious George, which is turkey topped with spinach dip and provolone cheese on sourdough bread. It was absolutely fantastic. Warm, savory, and perfectly balanced, it felt like true comfort food done right. It also came with a fresh side salad and great dressing that honestly could have been a meal on its own. My boys ordered the chicken quesadilla and nachos, and both were big wins. The quesadilla was crispy and cheesy. The nachos were fully loaded with seasoned beef, black beans, melted cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, plus salsa and ranch on the side. The portions were generous and the flavors were excellent. Then came the desserts. We tried chocolate cake, carrot cake, and red velvet cake. We ordered half slices and they were still huge. Every single one was incredible. The red velvet and carrot cake were made with real cream cheese frosting. The carrot cake was rich and moist. The chocolate cake was deeply decadent. Pairing the carrot cake with a cup of their coffee was the perfect finish. The coffee was smooth and flavorful and exactly what you want with dessert. We were also lucky enough to be taken care of by Reagan, who was incredibly kind, beautifully stylish, and so helpful with my boys and me. She gave great recommendations on dishes and portion sizes. Her warmth and attention truly elevated the entire experience. Between the cozy atmosphere, outstanding food, unforgettable desserts, and exceptional service, Boll Weevil is now officially a must stop every time we are in Augusta. Come hungry. Save room for cake. read more

Stopped in Boll Weevil recently for dinner with a colleague. It was a Monday night at 6:30pm and we were able to be seated straight away. The vibes are casual and comfortable which pairs perfectly with the fare. There was live music while we were there (which was pitch perfect in volume as we were still able to speak comfortably). We sat and my dining companion mentioned they have a decent number of stouts on menu. I ordered a spiced stout, which was amazing. We also ordered their fried green tomatoes, which were great. It was my first experience with fried green tomatoes and they seemed to be an elevated version with a drizzle of balsamic and a horseradish sauce to accompany. Lovely! For my main, I got the grown up grilled cheese and a cup of their corn chowder. The grilled cheese was a tasty combination of pimento cheese and applewood smoked bacon on sourdough. It was divine. The corn chowder is hearty and flavorful. The service was friendly and the prices are reasonable. Get to it! read more

Boll Weevil - Grown up grilled cheese and corn chowder - Southern Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

This might be my only one star review ever, and I'll own upfront that we didn't even try the food...but after 25 mins upfront with only 4 other people waiting, 6 open tables, and 2 people rolling silverware then 20 more mins sitting at a table, one does not stay around. Right before we left the table next to us finished and upon their departure the guy said "good luck, we just spent 1 1/2 hours for lunch". Our running joke is now that is why they have a back door. Employees had to pass us 10 times like we weren't there despite being seated by a server. I'm assuming they were understaffed in their mind, but there aren't more than 20 tables in there, and we counted at least 7 faces. We didn't see a single plate of food come out in that 45 minutes. It's a shame - cute place, menu looked intriguing and I was super hungry! read more

As the saying goes, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." And if you've been in Augusta you know downtown is ever changing (for the better). New places to eat, shop, and even art to discover. But just off the beaten path, though directly across from the Augusta Convention Center, is a spot that has been baking cakes, frying green tomatoes, and making bowls of corn chowder for 35 years! Boll Weevil is diverse in its clientele because of its diversity in offerings. You need a meal? Or just dessert? Or an entire cake? Or maybe one of the biggest selections of porters and stouts in the area? Yep, you guessed it. All right here at Boll Weevil. And come through to hear live music, join in on Bingo night, or experience a open mic. I have been here solo, as a couple, and with the extended family. There's seating and great customer service whatever the party size. If you haven't been, or it's been awhile, stop nito Boll Weevil soon. Also, bring your appetite for the desserts. They are humongous! read more

The food was amazing and so were the prices! We stopped for lunch and had the fried green tomato BLT.

The staff were wonderful!!! But honestly, the salmon was hard and chewy - at the same time. My girlfriend's chicken was hard and chewy. The soups were decent. The salad was good. But I was hungry! I had seen all the positive reviews and was super hungry with high hopes of culinary bliss. Maybe they just had a bad night. The cheesecake was excellent! read more

I made it all the way from KC to eat here and it did not disappoint!! I had fried green tomatoes with a cup of Apple tomato soup & seafood bisque - because how can you choose?? They also come with what I calll crackified saltines - butter and herby embellished. Several good beers on tap that are not the usual and very delicious. And then there's the dessert- luckily you can get a half slice of cake! I tried chocolate perfection (well named) and the hummingbird (deliciously cinnamony) The icing on the cake was my dreamy server, Zach. Excellent friendly service with a smile that was spot on! What a kick off to my trip read more

Sat here for an entire hour for just a side salad and soup. Understand that maybe understaffed but it shouldn't take an hour for soup and salad. Our server was nice but it just didn't make any sense at all. read more

Excellent food!! All the cakes are aooo yummy!! The servers are pleasant and cheerful! The service is quick and efficient! Great value !!! The atmosphere is neat too with the building being an old cotton warehouse! The history of the building gives it an extra special meaning too so read about that!! Will be returning!!! read more

Stopped by here for lunch stopping through town on a Saturday. We had a wonderful server, Leila, who was super sweet and told us which dishes she recommends. We're glad we listened to her because her suggestions were good. We had the Havana Chicken with a side of Cesar salad and my husband had the Southern Gent Sammich with a side of corn chowder. I liked the chicken and the corn chowder but felt the rice that came with the chicken was not good. My husband enjoyed his sandwich. Lastly we finished with a slice of key lime pie which we both really enjoyed. In summary, the chicken itself, corn chowder and key lime pie were my favorites from what we ordered. Docking a star because the rice was not good with the chicken and that was a significant part of the dish. Thank you Leila for your hospitality! read more

Stopped in today for lunch based on reviews and cake options. So glad we did! We have not been to Augusta in years so were interested to spend a few hours checking out the area. We waited no more than 10 minutes for a table in the old building vibe eatery. All of the staff were very welcoming, friendly and busy. Hayli was our server- super sweet and efficient. We both had sandwiches on a clearly house-made honey wheat bun/bread (Lumberg & Southern Gent). Both were outstanding in taste. I also had to try the carrot cake- though I had to save it till later. Other than homemade- it is in the top 3 for taste and I've eaten a LOT of carrot cake. If you're in the area stop in and you won't be sorry. Say hello to Hayli. read more

I called three days in advance and made a reservation for May 27,2026 for 15 people to celebrate my granddaughters graduation. The reservation was for 4:00 pm. we arrived at 3:45 and there was a sign on the door that they were closed for a special event. WHY would you take a reservation knowing that you would be closed. Very disappointed read more

Fun family atmosphere. Good food. Reasonable prices. Only complaint is that it's so popular, it's often crowded.

Dive bar ambiance. Good service. Free Street parking or their own lot. Southern cooking with some healthy vegetarian options. I enjoyed the black bean burger with cucumber salad and asian slaw. They offer this burger 2 different ways, and with your choice of bun/bread/hoagie and choice of side. I enjoyed the house salad with vidalia dressing. Hummingbird cake was ok but not as good as i expected. The texture was more finely ground than expected; the texture of the cake reminded me of a cake mix. Frosting is delicious. Right near the riverfront park. I would dine here again. read more

NO PEANUT BUTTER PIE ,for 2 days in a row . Very upset. Because I came here for that one thing. Wished they were Other than that good food,

Food and service was great. Delicious desserts, one slice of cake is enough for two people to share.. one complaint, the place is freezing cold. Thank goodness I had a jacket in the car.. if it had not been so cold, I would've given five stars. read more

A true Augusta gem! The Boll Weevil is one of those places you just have to visit when you're in town. Tucked near the Riverwalk, it's got this fun, laid-back vibe that makes you feel instantly at ease. Whether you're meeting friends or just want a cozy bite to eat, it's always a great pick. The food hits the spot--hearty, flavorful, and made with care. I've never had a bad meal here, but the real star is the dessert case. The cake slices are legendary for a reason. Seriously, don't leave without trying one (or taking one to go). They're massive, rich, and totally worth the splurge. All in all, it's a relaxed, feel-good spot that serves up great food with a side of Southern charm. Highly recommend! read more

Boll Weevil Café is one of the first places in Augusta that I ever learned about, prior to ever visiting the area. It is a cute restaurant located downtown and near the river. Their cake and cheesecake slices are very well known and recommended by many! During my year in Augusta, I dined here probably five times. My take away from my experience is that the food is not the best ever, but it is a good place to go when you are with a couple of people and you want them to have options. Every time I have been here, I have only been for lunch. Never did I order anything for dinner. I definitely think the Experience of sitting in the place is worth it and I'm not sure that I would recommend just ordering something to go. Staff are friendly, but I'm think I like sitting at the bar best! read more

Boll Weevil - Spinach Dip Turkey sandwich - Southern Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I didn't order anything except the cakes to go and they are so good! They are soo big that the styrofoam will smush the cake a little but it doesn't effect the cake flavor at all. The employees are very nice and helpful. They were very helpful in choosing which cakes to get. The cakes are big enough for at least 4 people to get full off 1 slice. These 2 slices lasted almost a week between 2 people. The inside is a little small but very quaint. There is a specific entrance and exit. The cakes (shown in the photo) are in a separate section. Red velvet 8/10 Death by chocolate 9/10 I would DEFINITELY visit this location again. read more

Place was clean. Music was at good volume so I wasn't yelling at my husband to have a conversation. The waitress was nice but not sure she cared for me so much. She seemed distant at the table. He ordered the Reuben Sandwich with tomato apple soup. He said the Reuben was good. The meat wasn't as tender as would liked. The tomato soup tasted like canned soup with additions. He would order the sandwich again but not the soup. I ordered the pimento cheese burger and chips. I got the burger and pasta salad. I stated I didn't ask for the pasta salad and she promptly brought me chips. The burger was a little more spicy than I expected it to be. It was good though. I'd order it again. The chips are kettle chips. They were as expected. We ordered a few craft beers. We enjoyed them and posted our review of those on Untappd. We also got a piece of cake. A single order was large enough for both of us it was more than we could eat. It was the 7th Heaven. It was good not impressive. Not close my eyes and moan delicious but good. Parking was around the back which is nice to not have to park on the street or search for parking. We will eat there again. It was good not great. read more

The cake that everyone recognizes... I have heard stories about this from my coworkers but haven't gone yet in the couple of years I've been coming to Augusta for work. We finally decided to try it out. Three of my group had peanut butter pie, one had the lemon cake with blueberry cheesecake as the center layer, and I had the plain lemon cake. It was so. freaking. good. We just picked up at the counter as we had already eaten dinner - the person working was super helpful in answering all of our questions. We brought the cake back to the hotel lounge to eat and the person working there said "Oh, you went to Boll Weevil!" This lasted me like 3 meals and I still didn't finish it. I will dream of this lemon cake. read more

The place is old, looks old, feels old ... but, it is charming. I ate the " The Jose" sandwich which is soft and delicious. The sweet tea is really south style tea and the velvet cake is amazingly large and decedent. You will enjoy the food. read more

I'm here for the Masters and picking up my credentials at the Marriott. I found I was about an hour early. Looking across the street, I spied this unassuming restaurant and wondered if it was any good. So I opened up the Yelp app and lo and behold, apparently this place serves the best desserts! Curious about their wares, I felt I just had to sample something, anything! Everything looked delicious! If you check out the images it's pretty evident that this place needs to be revisited. So many choices! I picked the banana chocolate chip. It was huge! Yummy too! Since I was by myself, I had a bit and took the rest to-go. Next time, I will go for the strawberry cake. read more

A friend and I went to Boll Weavil for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. We were seated immediately and got our drinks and appetizer ordered promptly. The place was nice and quiet, which allowed us to visit and enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. The bubba nachos appetizer was delicious and a good size (we got the large and had leftovers). I ordered the Curious George sandwich with pasta salad. It came out still warm and absolutely incredible. The turkey had a wonderful flavor and the spinach dip was perfect on top. I will definitely order it again. My friend got the fried green tomatoe BLT and she said it was very good. Our waitress was very attentive and helped give us a great experience! We will definitely be back! read more

I have been to Boll Weevil many times to order their cakes, which come in huge slices. I recommend sharing with several people. Today I went with my co-workers for lunch. I order a traditional burger and I was happy with the salad. I will be back to try out other items on their menu. read more

I was traveling and happen to roll up on this spot. Nice small but quaint spot. Located near the Riverwalk in Augusta, Ga.. The food was amazing and service was awesome.

If you are in town this is an enjoyable place. read more

Interesting that they named the restaurant after an invasive pest that almost decimated the cotton industry. Anyhow, we came for dessert as it's my daughter's favorite place in Augusta for cake. Service was great, Douthern hospitality too know. Had the canary lemon and the banana chocolate chip cake which were delicious albeit perhaps a little stale. Icing wasn't too sweet.Will try again though. read more

I'd call this more southern-inspired cuisine than traditional southern cooking, but it is good. There are a variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches to choose from in addition to larger entrees. I had the hopping John and the grown-up grilled cheese and enjoyed both. Service was also excellent and friendly. I'd go back. read more

Delicious desserts, great beer and wine selection and a great menu with healthy option's. Great place with some minor flaws. Their ceiling was so gross. Black mold coming out of there vents meaning we are breathing black mold . Also, their bathrooms could use more attention. Reminder me of a dirty bathroom at a gas station. read more
