The restroom door was literally stuck to the floor. Look at the picture, food looks great, yes? It was warm too. Slightly above room temperature; probably sitting there growing germs (cafeteria style). The chicken tasted good, if a little bland. The mac & cheese and black eyed peas on rice taste like latex glove was part of the recipe. The biscuit was the best thing on the plate tastewise if you ignore that 1/4 of had the hardness of a pine 2x4. I would have left before paying except I specifically went out of my way to try the place. After waiting in line, and going through the slightly confusing process of choosing a side (things in Bain maries not on the menu), I asked for water. Charging for water shows me this isn't a reputable place. Now, I don't mind paying extra for using Visa but after I've gone through the whole ordering and food processing, to shove it on me then is disrespectful. They also ask for tips, but there is zero reason to give one. If I had one recommendation when visiting: don't.

Yummy! The menu is simple and it is a quick counter experience…read more You order your protein of choice, any 2 sides and a bread roll or cornbread. Everything tasted home cooked! We ordered one meal with 3 piece fried chicken drumsticks + mac n cheese + broccoli casserole and a fried pork tenderloin + mac n cheese + cabbage. The best side was probably a tie between the mac n cheese and the cabbage! Yes, cabbage! When we are in town, we will visit again!

The food is simple home style cooking with the chefs hand in it. Nothing was over seasoned. There is no pork in their vegetables. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly and super crispy. The chef cooks in batches to keep the food fresh on the buffet line. No kids under 13 in the buffet room. For plain home style food, you can't miss for the price.

We have been in Augusta for 25 years and French Market Grille has been one of our favorites. Our…read morelast trip may have been our last. The ambience has changed, the food quality has changed and serving sizes have definitely decreased while prices have gone up. A favorite go to has been their Crab Chop. We ordered the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer, two orders of Crab Chops and steamed oysters. When the fried green tomatoes arrived they were not the quality we have received every time visit. The breading was a different flavor and texture, the tomatoes were not hot. They seemed to have been prepared earlier that day. The steamed oysters we ordered were delivered to the table raw. We sent them back and when they were delivered again they were prepared correctly but they failed to bring any horseradish or lemons. Our Crab Chops were overcooked, not warm enough and borderline tasteless. Rather than embrace ourselves in front of our guests we let everything slide. Apparently new management has taken over and as a result food quality and ambiance has suffered.

I was starving and was searching Yelp when I found this restaurant served salmon patties…read more(croquettes). I had to place an order! When I pulled up and saw that they were connected to a convenient store I knew the food was going to be great. There was a line of about six people so I decided to see if I could place an order online. Initially it said my food will be ready in 12 minutes but after placing the order with GrubHub the time frame went to an hour. I was upset because I was starving but I decided just to wait it out and I'm happy I did. (I should've gone to the drive-thru, but I didn't know they had one at the time) When I went to pick up my food I saw that they had a drive-thru. The food smelled wonderful. My food was piping hot OK the grits were creamy like I like them and the salmon patties were crispy and not too dry, I didn't care for the eggs though because I'm not a big egg eater. My daughter got the breakfast scrambler and she devoured it right away. The service provided at the window was top notch! They made sure that we had everything that we needed and they had really great spirits. I will definitely be going back soon

I purchase a meal with French toast eggs sausage and grits and I loved it. The Grits actually remind me of Stow cone grits from where I tried a place in Evans a long time ago. The service top-notch food top-notch everything top-notch. And the place is open Monday Wednesday and Friday and is open on Saturday I think until 3. If you haven't tried this place out I recommend you do but make sure you bring some cash because they do a service charge if you do debit or credit. Overall absolutely worth it. :)

Rae's Coastal Cafe is my usual first stop restaurant for some scrumptious vittles south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Our Jerk chicken wings were a great start for our first dinner on this adventure. Our (us three golfers) salads were good. Our crab cakes were very good! Our chocolate pudding pie was great. My three fingers of Makers Mark was excellent. We sat outside by their lake where the peace and quiet were throughly enjoyed. Our waitress was friendly and helpful choosing the combinations that made this dinner delightful.

Server was lovely and everything arrived in a very reasonable amount of time. Food was a 3. No more. The shrimp and grits were really a big miss. I read where it said casserole and I was fully expecting a new (for me) twist on shrimp and grits - but it was not good. Dry baked grits with maybe three shrimp total and a few tiny piece of crab. No sauce, no cheese on top - nothing. Was very very odd indeed - more like cornbread or spoon bread with zero flavor. My husband ordered a steak and it was good, so there was some redemption there. I will say, one major restaurant pet peeve for me is when the first thing you smell when you open the door is air freshener. The bathrooms are right by the door and they have a fake cherry air freshener smell pumping out from them. So that's what you get hit with when you walk in. I don't know the solution to this type of layout, but strong air freshener isn't it.

The menu has the standard soul food selections. I went for the oxtails but it turns out the oxtails and chitterlings go first and fast. Diner style seating is available after you receive Ive your food. All meals include a meat, 2 sides and a drink (no diet options available). I decided on smothered pork chops, Mac & Cheese, and collards. How cake bread is available. On top of the serving station were red velvet and key lime cake. I took my items to go. Taste? Everything was delicious and well seasoned. The smothered pork chop was tender and tasty. Im glad I stopped by. Next time I'll go early enough to get those oxtails.
