    Sample bowl
    Carina R.

    They lured me in with the free sample bowl. Man, all of the ingredients in that sample bowl were FRESH and super yummy. They have a huge variety of toppings and sauces that I haven't seen at other poke places in Augusta. They'll basically put whatever you want in the sample bowl for you to try, which is nice. I especially like how they put the protein, solid vegetable/fruit toppings, and sauces together in a separate tray and mix them up before placing it on top of your base. That saves me the problem I tend to run into at other poke places where my bowl is overloaded with toppings, and I have no room to mix them around to get everything I want in one bite. Portions are large. Service is solid. Got spicy salmon as my protein, and the salmon had no fishy aftertaste (which can be common in fish that have been marinating in any kind of sauce). Everything looked clean. Loved the variety of drinks and snacks/desserts they offered. Location is also fantastic since I can stop by while getting my Rx next door at Publix. Overall beautiful 5/5 will be back again!

    I have been in Augusta for six years, and this is BY FAR the best poke in the city for the best price. I was thrilled when I heard it was opening, and the place absolutely lives up to the hype. The quality of the fish and other ingredients is 10/10, and they are very generous with portions. However, the best part of this place is the owners and staff! They are absolutely wonderful and so sweet. I loved chatting with them and will definitely be back. There is ample parking and seating, and I will definitely be back!!!

    This is my favorite poke place in augusta. I stumbled upon them while going to shop at Publix. I ordered a make your own bowl with tuna and the fish tasted very fresh. I usually prefer salmon but this tuna here tasted better than the salmon. I love how they have so many toppings to choose from and a lot of sauces to pick from too. The guy making my bowl was also very nice. Price is also very reasonable for the amount of food you get!

    It's so good too

    So good! I ordered on UberEats and picked up/ate in. It was ready in under 20 minutes too

    We travel a lot, and poke places are one of our go-tos. Build Yo Poke is the best poke place we've experienced outside of Hawaii. The menu was creative and offered many options. We loved the sauce combos in the designed bowls. The build-your-own options had many different options. We were lucky to meet the owner, who is very nice and honest. You can't go wrong here!

    I've visited Augusta many times and did not see this place before. Out of all the poké places here (there isn't much) this is the best new poké place in town! Everything tastes so fresh and amazing. +My only complaint is how small the portion is for the crab. I was not expecting a mountain of crab, but as you can see in my photo the scoop size for extra crab is the same as 1 plastic spoon which is a lot less than what I expected.

    Fresh ingredients. Good price points. Had the Vegan bowl. Very tasty. Would suggest more beverage options. Not a fan of the prepackaged additional menu items. Clean restaurant.

    This spot was a minute away from my hotel on a recent trip to Augusta. Try as I might to resist,…read moretemptation got the better of me one evening and I stopped by to get a post-dinner treat. They have a number of stuffed and warm cookies to choose from. I couldn't decide on just one flavor and so opted for two! This was a bit of a mistake as their cookies are really large and dense which I discovered when the worker placed the first box with one cookie on the counter before me and it made an audible kerplunk. My goodness! I got their chocolate peanut butter cookie as well as a sugar cookie. When I realized how ample the cookies were, I gave the sugar cookie to the hotel clerk at my hotel, so I can only speak to the chocolate peanut butter cookie. It was sweet and delicious. I will note that their cookies are very sweet. I don't eat sweets often so the rich sweetness of one cookie was a bit much for me. Were I to go again, I'd probably split one with a friend. That said, the cookie was warm and ooey-gooey. It's kind of an inside out peanut butter cup with a peanut butter cookie surrounding a fudge-y chocolate center. If you like a chocolate/pb combo--this cookie is for you! The workers were lovely. I walked in with no familiarity with the biz and the clerk immediately gave me the rundown of their cookies and how ordering works. They were all so nice in here! If you're looking for an indulgent sweet treat, Dirty Dough has you covered! Get to it!

    Southern charm, incredible lunch, legendary desserts, and truly wonderful service…read more 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.

    Small place with no seating inside but some outside. I was told all the ice cream was made in house…read moreand after tasting a few of the flavors, I believe it. It's not inexpensive but you can certainly taste the quality. I had a scoop of bourbon salted caramel ice cream and a scoop of butterfinger ice cream. They were fantastic! My wife had a scoop of the banana pudding ice cream and a scoop of the coffee crunch. She loved them both. It's a small establishment but for a dessert after a nearby meal, this is definitely worth the effort of driving to. People were friendly and the store was clean. We'll go back whenever we are in the area.

So it wasn't a total surprise to find that they have decided to move to suburban Augusta. The new shopping center they've chosen was otherwise still under construction when I stopped in, but several groups of people had found this place and were shopping for ice cream. I imagine on a nice summer day there will be a line when word gets out. Not a lot of really top end ice cream around here, but this place knows how to infuse flavor. A more caramel and cookie creation complemented my dark and bitter chocolate. The chocolate came with Andes mints inside, which sounded nice but honestly could hardly be tasted because the flavor of the ice cream itself was so strong. Premium local ice cream isn't cheap, but here I did get a heaping portion size as I watched more flavors being created in the back of the shop.

I visited this place while traveling on a hot, sunny weekend right when it opened, and it was an utter pleasure. Parking: there's plenty of street parking. I parked right in front of the dessert cafe. Free parking. Ambiance: it's a dark themed place with grey walls, a luxurious plush couch, and a dungeon-ish feel. It's more Halloween themed kind of style than luxurious. It's a cute mix of orange and black-grey themes. There's soft upbeat music in the background. Right when it opens is a great time to go! I nearly had the whole cafe to myself! Dessert: I ended up getting their pineapple cheesecake with cheesecake snow. It was light, fluffy, creamy. It's similar to Korean shaved ice or a lighter Italian shaved ice. It melts in your mouth and releases the sweetness. You can build your own and they have premade flavors such as turtle cheesecake, amaretto romance, cotton candy, vampy sour, orange dream, I love you Cheryl much, Mexican candy, pina colada. I ordered large, and I could definitely finish it all for myself! This is a chain that started in California. They start with a proprietary base, mix in the flavors, freeze it into a block, shave it, and then decorate it. In addition, the worker informed me that some of the cheesecake flavors have a homemade purée, with the strawberry cheesecake being the most popular. I'm 100% visiting again when I come back to Georgia!
