Had a large order placed thru my employer, however my Salmon sandwich came without nothing. PLAIN JANE! Description states on a bun with spinach, tomato and lemon aioli. All I got was dry a** bread with salmon. As if this Monday didn't suck already. Thanks Buffington's! Your lousy lunch went straight the garbage can.

For my first night in Milledville I went to this bar with some colleagues. The bar is located in the center of the city, you can many bars in this street and you park easily next to it. I had a very good evening, bands can have access to the stage and perform live. We came across a young band that night that was really good! We stayed until closing time at 2am. We will definitely come back, the bar staff was very nice and there is a very good atmosphere inside. You can either sit at the bar or on a table, with a pretty large group given the size of the place

#YelpsBigNightIn ( @yelp ; @yelpaugusta ) My 1st dinner
Tony S.

For #YelpsBigNightIn ( @yelp ; @yelpaugusta ), I had not planned on having Southern and Tex-Mex. But, I been wanting to try Buffington's for a while. Also, being outside of the area for my Yelp community, I wasn't sure if it would work. Additionally, didn't want to go out 2 days in a row, so I used KNG Delivery. In reviewing the online menu, I saw that being a Bar & Grill, I didn't really want a burger. So, I ordered 3 Appetizers. Diggity Dank (typo on the Menu? Should it be Dang?) Nachos (full order; about $2.00 more than a haf order), with White Queso and Pico de Gallo: Now, because of previous soggy delivery of Nachos, I asked for the chips to be separated. Well, not only did they separate the chips (yea!), they separated all the ingredients. 8-) This was my first time in trying this kind of Nachos. And, I must admit, I found it pretty darn tasty, without being overly spiced. And, the chips, while a tad thicker than I'd prefer, were fresh, and crunchy. The thicker chip held up better in this dish. 5 Stars Fried Mushrooms with Ranch Dressing: I love Mushrooms (on pizza, in pasta sauce, Chinese food, on a salad and plain for dipping). But, these Fried Mushrooms were delicious. Though, I did find the Ranch Dressing to be a tad too thin. But, it was still very good. 4 Stars. Fried Pickles with Chipotle Ranch Dressing: Now, this is only my 2nd time having Fried Pickles. So, I don't really have much to compare it to. But, whereas my first time in having them, The coating was crispy. And, it covered every pickle chip to where it was difficult to tell what it was. On these, the coating was super thin. And, to be honest, they weren't drained very well (there was some pickle juice in the bottom of the box) before dipping into the batter. Nor, where they crisp. To be honest, they were very limp. Also, like the regular Ranch Dressing, the Chipotle Ranch Dressing was also on the thin side. I did find the pickles to be too vinegary. But, they were good. 2 Stars Also, there's plenty leftover. I should get at least 2 more dinners out of it. 8-) But, over all, I did like everything. And, I will want to try them again.

Lemon blueberry raspberry layered cheesecake

We went there last night to end my birthday weekend celebration and ordered drinks. They have my new favorite cider flavor by the Atlanta Co in the can (Tiki Haze) so a perfect start .. We ordered the appetizer sampler and everything was amazing and fresh and made in-house. The chicken fingers were chicken breast split. the shrimp tempura was fresh made in-house and the mushrooms were freshly made. Everything was amazing. To top it off the bartender, ANNIE was FABULOUS and the blueberry lemon raspberry layered cheesecake is to die for! With a live music, it was a perfect evening for my birthday in town at Buffington's. We will be back.!

Another slam dunk in Milledgville. The best part about this place was how welcoming it was. As soon as I got into the restaurant I was welcomed by the bartender, Callie, and several of the locals who have been coming here for years. both Callie and the locals were awesome - heckling on who the cook was and what I should eat. Amazing southern hospitality and spirit. I had the Backyard Burger and fried pickles on the side. Let me tell you, the burger was amazing but the fried pickles were the best I've ever had. I asked the bartender if they were still crispy, and she said, "Trust me. You're getting the pickles. They're awesome." And they were! Probably the best place I've found in a while. Great food and even better, great people. I immediately felt welcomed. The space could use some renovation, ceiling tiles, floors etc. That's probably the only negative I could say. Absolutely recommend this place.

Waited forever for someone to take our drink order and 30 minutes to get drinks.  Got the world's smallest wings! Will not be back!

there was hair in my food. The service was terrible plus there was only one waitress. The place looked like it was going to fall apart.

Well I wish I could say great things about this little place but as I had to wait 30mins for my…read moresimple meal at a place that is a to go food place this visit did not start off great. The Parmesan shrimp was great when I got it! The staff was not knowledgeable on the food. I was hopeful for the banana pie bit when I went to take a bite it was frozen solid.:(

Tonight, was the first time that I tried this place. Now, to be honest, anytime a place has Wings in their name, I expect great prices (which they are), very good quality and taste. Since my disappointment with the wings from the other place, I wanted to try AJ's. So, using KNG Delivery, I had a 15 piece Mild Hot Wings, with Ranch Dressing. I was surprised to see that both the drumettes and winglettes, were on the small side. But, despite being small, and Mild, they had a good bite to them. And, they tasted pretty good. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of variation in texture of both the drumettes, and the winglettes. Some were slightly dried out. While others were fresher tasting, and more tender. Also, with 15 wings, I was surprised to see that I was given only 1 small container of Ranch Dressing for dipping. Luckily, I had some on hand. Now, as I mentioned, the price was great. But, I think I'll skip the wings on my next order from here.

Yesterday, my friend and I decided to forego lunch in Macon, as neither of us was very hungry at…read more11:30. And, decided to have lunch at a local place. Since I hadn't the opportunity to get here (DoorDash isn't contracted with PNC. And, when I was still driving, there were too many places to go to), it was, a last minute decision. And, I am certainly glad of it! Though, considering it was, 12:40 when we arrived, it wasn't very crowded. I think, being a Tuesday afternoon was the reason. Had it been the weekend, or after work, it would have been a different story. Now, I gotta admit, paying $13.00 for a Double Mushroom and Swiss Burger with natural cut Fries, is a bit high imo. BUT, considering I have had nothing to eat since finishing the meal at around 1:30. The burger was delicious, and satisfied my cravings for a M&S burger. The fries were good, but not very hot. And, not heavily salted. Service was excellent! And, the waitress was very nice and, attentive. Unfortunately, she didn't have knowledge of the alcohol content of their Draft and IPA beers (the names definitely sounded woohoo), I went with a Peach Margarita. Now, I asked for a Traditional one, but got it, On the Rocks, instead (not sure if she misunderstood me. Or, if PCB doesn't serve them). It was potentially good.

We were pleasantly surprised! I had seen the bad reviews but this was one of the only restaurants…read morenearby that allowed dogs. We sat on the patio which was small but nice, and ordered a bunch of different food. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. It's your typically fried bar type food, but it was decent. Nothing fancy, but decent and cheap. For 6 people it was under $100. The service was pretty quick and our waitress was super sweet. Not too shabby.
