Bland, need better sauce
Sm H.

Ehh not sure if I would go again. The food was all right, nothing spectacular. Lacking in flavor on the veggies and the barbecue. Fountain drinks are a little pricey. I thought I saw online that they are "discounted" when you got a meal, but that was not the case. Pretty cool atmosphere though. Brad was an excellent server, very charismatic. He definitely made lunch better.

Wall decor in dining area

Updated review , it took again forever to get my food, not sure why. Each time I order a burger and sweet potato fries. It is disappointing when your lunch mate has to sit there and either chow down in front of you or sit there and watch their food get cold.

Grilled pork chop with Mac & Cheese, mash potatoes, and Cornbread
Lauren B.

I come here a lot and usually my visits are great! This visit, my pork chop was very fatty and honestly just not very big for how expensive it is. I am hoping to give this place another chance and try it again.

The STAR of Fat man Mill's Cafe! Plus some great chicken sandwiches!

What a great spot for lunch! We both had fried chicken sandwiches. Banana pudding for dessert. The food was great but the STAR of the restaurant is Stephan. (Hope I'm spelling his name correctly) He greets, brings food and a beautiful warmth to this restaurant.

Fried Catfish filet, Mac n cheese, and cabbage

Located in a historical brick building and off the beaten path. It's a great lunch spot downtown with a lot of different options! The catfish is fresh and fried perfectly and the Mac is on point too.

Chicken Josh's Grilled Chicken & Feta Wrap
Bea M.

I usually get the traditional southern food when I go here but today I thought I would try the chicken wrap. I am SO happy I did. It is not like your traditional chicken and feta wrap ! It is warm and delicious and ...I honestly can't get the words together to describe how delicious this wrap is. I will definitely be going back and bringing my family with me.

Y'all!! This place is the bomb.com!! Excellent service and the food is AHHHMAZING! I don't leave reviews too often, but this deserved 5 stars and more! Got to try it!

Had lunch here after our Canal boat tour. Everything was awesome - from the service, the staff and the food. Our groups food included the catfish, fried chicken, wraps and wings and all was very tasty. The staff and management was so friendly and truly showed their Southern hospitality! Highly recommend stopping by this place when in Augusta!

Not much chicken salad in this chicken salad sandwich.

Best meat and two I have had. The catfish was fresh, crisp and nicely seasoned. Mac and cheese and squash casserole were both very tasty.

The Australian Wagyu filet mignon (see my pick) is top notch. Cook to order (medium) and soft and delicious. The Australian Wagyu tasting it is very good as well!! You use the "lava" stone and you cook it to your own liking. Drink- the cocktail (forgot the name) is like a show stopper! Ambiance- it is fancy and yet, very relax!! I will return :)

They have a valet system, so no worries about parking. Staff have been very professional and friendly, so 5/5 stars for that. I ordered the 8oz filet mignon, medium rare. Steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly! It came with asparagus and mashed potatoes covered in a crispy layer of batter, which all complimented the steak well. I tried their tuna tartare, which had an interesting take on what the tuna was served on. I've always been used to tuna tartare being accommodated with bread, but this was sushi rice compacted and covered in some light batter. Felt like I was eating tuna sushi. Apply some of the sauces it comes with and seriously was fantastic. I also got to try 4oz of their Japanese A5 Wagyu. Super expensive; $80 dollars for four ounces, but worth the experience. You cook the thin pieces over a hot stone and apply some of the seasonings like salt it comes with. I cooked each side for about 30 seconds, sprinkled some salt, and it melted in my mouth! I ended my meal with their carrot cake and it was moist, not overly sweet, and had a great savory taste. I really enjoyed my time here and certainly will be back again. There is a bar and at the back of the restaurant, you can see the baseball field. Restrooms were clean, but only one stall from what I've seen in the men's room. Overall 5/5 steak house experience.

We showed up at 7pm on Friday night. It was very crowded. To eat inside the main restaurant we…read morewould have had a 40 minute wait but they offered the outside area and seated us right away. My wife got the black eyed peas jambalaya and two of us got catfish platters, one fried and one blackened. My wife didn't eat a lot of her meal because she said it was too spicy, but she's a spice wimp so I'm not holding that against the restaurant especially since I never tried it. My daughter's blackened catfish was very salty. Our fries were very salty but good. My catfish, fried, was excellent. I would have liked to give a 3.5 but couldn't and my fish was so good I just couldn't give a 3. I'd eat here again but only fried catfish for me. I could see myself eating here at least once a month. Bonus: after dinner take a walk along the waterfront.

The stars weren't matching the reviews as it showed only 3* but I listened to the Yelpers and…read moredecided to come. One thing I'm liking about Augusta is they tell you to just seat yourself. There is plenty of parking. I'm not sure why it's called "at the river" bc I didn't see a river. There is inside and an outside enclosed area for seating when you enter from the parking lot. It is decorated like a casual bar and grill. My server was in training but friendly and worked alongside his trainer head server. For beverages, I ordered the oyster shooter and that Bloody Mary did not disappoint. I also had a Black Raspberry Margarita. This seems to be a thing in Augusta for Margaritas as well as this was the 2nd restaurant I went to and had this. The other place was better though. But let's talk about the food! The catfish was super tasty. They gave me fries although I didn't order them, and of course I still ate them. I had a side of baked potato salad. I should've asked why they're baked, but that was just okay. I had the TASTE OF BEAMIES- chicken & shrimp gumbo, black eyed pea jambalaya, shrimp and grits, my fav's in order were the chicken and shrimp gumbo, the shrimp and grits, then the black eyed pea jambalaya. I also ordered the 1/2 dozen Rockefeller oysters and they were amazing. The hush puppies that came with them were just okay. Overall, I enjoyed this meal.

Brunch is serious business in Augusta and after one visit to The Brunch House of Augusta I…read morecompletely understand why this place stays packed. While in town for the weekend my husband and I wanted brunch somewhere unique to Augusta instead of another chain restaurant, and after scrolling Yelp and seeing all the glowing reviews we decided to give this Black owned, family operated spot a try. I noticed online that you can make a reservation for a $20 fee that gets deducted from your check. At first I was a little surprised, but after seeing how busy this place is, it makes total sense. We decided to roll the dice without a reservation anyway. When we arrived on a Saturday morning there were already several people waiting outside. There isn't really an indoor waiting area, so the hospitable hostess took my name and phone number and kindly asked us to wait outside. Later I noticed the sign explaining the process. She quoted us a 40-minute wait, but thankfully we were seated in about half that time. Inside, the restaurant is quaint and cozy with a classic diner feel complete with counter seating and booths. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. If you have a larger party, there are a couple of outdoor tables that appear to accommodate around six people, but personally I think this spot is best enjoyed with a smaller group. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly despite the busy brunch crowd. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles while I went with the Garden City breakfast bowl loaded with veggies and home fries plus a salmon croquette on the side. Every single thing tasted homemade and full of flavor. This is what Southern comfort food is supposed to taste like. My husband said the chicken was seasoned well and fried perfectly, and the waffle paired with it beautifully. My breakfast bowl reminded me of the kind of breakfast my grandma used to make, comforting, flavorful, and cooked with care. Portion sizes were just right,  enough to leave satisfied without feeling miserable afterward. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. Stellar customer service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. If I ever find myself back in Augusta, this will absolutely be one of my repeat stops.

We made a reservation and paid the $20 deposit to hold our spot. We were so excited to have a…read morenice place to meet our son for breakfast while he was in town. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation time and was told sorry there has been a mixup we don't have any tables. It will be 20 minutes. We could not wait as our son had an appointment that morning. So they told us we could sit outside at a folding table and get our drinks and place our order and they would sit us when the table was open. We said ok. After getting very hot and bitten over and over with gnats we walked up to hostess stand to see when our table would open. She was calling in a party to be seated. I asked why are they being seated when you told us next open table since we had a paid for reservation. She said ooops that was an error. She said but another table will Open in 5 minutes or so. We were so uncomfortable in the heat and gnats that we asked for a refund of our deposit. It seems as if The place is very mismanaged. The coffee is light brown water. To say we were disappointed is an understatement.

Parking was its usual Broad Street challenge, yet once inside there was plenty of space and an easygoing rhythm to the dining room. The only real hiccup was the slightly counterintuitive flow of things, since you order first and then find a seat, and I wasn't the only one who walked in and paused awkwardly until someone pointed out the process. I've said for a while that you should stick to what a place is named for, because ordering chicken wings at a pizza shop or a barbecue joint has burned me more than once, but tonight I ignored that rule and it turned out to be the right call. Mrs. K took down my side of fries with enthusiasm while I focused on the wings, meaty and generously sauced, the kind you finish without a second thought and then sit back with a local beer feeling like you made exactly the right choice. Every single one was worth it, no regrets at all, a small delight tucked inside a busy Augusta evening. I did see two of those massively stacked burgers get delivered to another table and while I was a little jealous, I know that having it without the bun wouldn't have honored it the way it should be. Maybe when I'm not on keto. [Review 228 of 2026 - 928 in Georgia - 25417 overall]
