    The bar area.

    On a beautiful Saturday morning, my husband and I decided to eat out for breakfast. We had passed this restaurant a couple of times and decided to stop in and try it. The customer service was great. The weight staff was very attentive. The menu was fantastic and included breakfast and brunch items. There's also a bar on site in case you want a mimosa or other cocktail. We enjoyed shrimp and grits and a breakfast of eggs, hashbrowns and a delicious sausage. We are certainly excited to go back to this place again. Highly recommend!

    Abby was the bomb very nice and friendly remind me of little cuz. She took care of us made sure we were all good. The food was good the turkey sausage wasn't as good as the chicken sausage but they both were good. The French toast was decent a little hard but nothing some syrup can't fix. The espresso was very good but strong but worth it. I saw a lot of people with the mimosas float it looked good maybe that's something you can try all flavors. Looked very popular. The ambiance is very nice but a little small. I get it for overhead maybe but they are very popular and good because the wait was 35-45 minutes so either try for reservations if they take them or be prepared for the wait. The waitress said Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday it can be busy and they're only open into 2:30 for breakfast or brunch it's a W for the win.

    When we arrived, there was a 30-minute wait, but we only waited for about 15 minutes on a Saturday. The prices are very reasonable, especially compared to New York. There's room for groups, but you might want to make a reservation if you're there on the weekend. The ambiance is a Spanish music vibe, not too loud, just right. The decor is nicely done. I really like the good food. The espresso martini was strong. The chicken and turkey sausage was delicious, and the eggs were cooked just right. Both the churro and cinnamon take-French toast were good. The cinnamon was a bit too sweet. The waitress Abby was very nice, attentive, and sweet. I definitely recommend.

    My first time at this location. I will say this brand is consistent. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was consistently great! The flavor in the cinnamon bread really pulls the sandwich together paired with perfectly cooked home fries. I also ordered the banana foster waffle as it's a fav flavor of mine. I was nervous as the menu says must be 21. I assumed the rum flavor would be overpowering. It wasn't. It was good. Very good and served hot. It did make my waffle soggy in the middle even though I ate it immediately. Service was good! Very pleasant and attentive. Restaurant is always clean and beautifully decorated. Gives an upscale vibe

    Came in on a Saturday around 1145am was told there was a 70min wait, a large party was leaving and the restaurant was mostly cleared there were plenty of empty tables and they were barely filling them with names from the waiting list and as we continued to wait, basically to see what was going on they started telling people that were coming in that is was a hour wait but still we're not sitting people. This was my first and will be my last time visiting this place.. I can not understand why they were not sitting people and I saw plenty of staff walking around and the tables were already cleaned so this was very bad service

    My first experience with this location was an absolute pleasure. Our food was served at great temperature. The atmosphere has a calming vibe that's very appealing. The waiter was knowledgeable and helpful with the menu choices. Definitely a great addition to the Northeast sector of town. I recommend you visit soon!

    Bacon/Spinach Omelette with Fruit for the side.

    I had my first experience at Breakfast at Ruiz was today. I was very excited to see that the stars ratings were so low. I had a warm welcome, excellent service, and my food and coffee were excellent. My food (the Bacon/Spinach Omelette) came from the kitchen hot and very attractive. All the dishes I watched coming from the kitchen were pleasing to the eye. You could hear the whispers of the customers trying to figure out what the dishes were every time food came from the kitchen. There were several people celebrating birthdays today and the staff was eager to accommodate them. They made sure my coffee cup was never empty. I received EXCELLENT service. The restaurant was busy and bussing. I looked around and at one point there wasn't an empty table, but that didn't keep them from doing a great job. I would definitely recommend Breakfast at Ruiz for a breakfast or brunch. I will be going back for SURE!

    The ambiance was really nice. The food was okay. I ordered an omelet but they put barbecue sauce on it. Not my speed.

    We visited this place because we saw that it was top places to eat in Augusta. The service was good…read moreat first. We were greeted when we walked in and we took a look at the menu. It was our first time there since we were visiting from out of town so they gave us a few recommendations and we ordered our food. We then sat down at a table since it was self seating. We didn't get our waters until after our food was served which is fine I understand they get busy. The food didn't take too long. We ordered 3 dishes. The Down home, the banana nut, and an omelet with turkey sausage and veggies. Our server came to our table and served us 3 dishes. Which dish was which was not explained to us and we thought all our food was out already because after she served us she said "does everything look good" or something along those lines. The banana nut was obvious but we weren't sure what was the omelet or the down home because there was a small side of an omelet waffle which was just egg. We didn't know if any of the dishes came with a side of an egg omelet or if the dish was served as a mistake. I then bring the small omelet dish to our server. I asked what the item was or it was included in what we order and she looked at the dish and took it away and brought it back to the kitchen. She then took a look at our receipt and didn't really say anything or explained to us what the small side of egg waffle was. Didn't answer any of my questions and I never saw that small side of egg waffle again. Shortly after then our down home dish was served to us. It was just a confusing situation that I wish could've been handled better by communicating with us. As for the food, the pictures online are a bit misleading and on the expensive side for the quality. All the photos were taken right after it was served to us. I'd only order the omelet again. A bit lacking with the ingredients and needs sauce. The down home was too doughy for my liking and it's a mix of salty and sweet from the batter and ingredients. The banana nut it was very crispy and came with powdered sugar and a side of the glaze. I didn't taste much banana or saw any nuts on/in the waffle.

    What a great find. If you are in Augusta, this is a must go to spot. The place is so cute. Even has…read morea chalk board you can write on. They have a variety of sweet and savory "waffles". I had the salmon waffle which was chopped up salmon and grits cooked in a waffle iron. So delicious. Seasoned perfectly. And had a dill butter to put on it that took it over the top. My friend had the shrimp and grits waffle that was equally delicious. Had a New Orleans feel to it. I could have drank the sauce. The service was great. Chef was very friendly and the lady at the register was extremely nice and made great recommendations. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.
