Fifth and Fire is ABSOLUTELY LEGIT .... I had smoked sausage, pulled pork and brisket. The smoked sausage had the absolute right amount of spice. The pulled pork was juicy, not dry like most places. And the brisket as off the chain!!!! Sit at the Bar and my man Ryan will make you the BEST Ole Fashion this side of the Mississippi. Just like he made for his grandma. Fifth a Fire is now on my list of MUST HAVE stops while I'm on the road. And as always .... Don't forget the Banana Pudding!!! read more

Trust your gut!! I had always told myself that if you ever go to a bbq spot, one of the requirements before entering is that you should smell BBQ smoke. FROM NOW ON, I WILL NOT DEVIATE FROM THAT SAYING. I stopped by this place and when I got out of my vehicle, I stopped and looked at the store front and said......this is a bbq spot !?? No bbq smell nor smoke. Himnnn. Ok. So I proceed inside......no BBQ SMELL EITHER. internally, red flags popped on. I talked to this young lady who had ordered Togo and I asked if she had eaten here before and she said it's her first time too. I wished I had gotten her number so I could have asked how did she like it. Anyways, ambiance and service was fine. The food was not on par for my liking. I had sausage and Brisket and my sides were beans and potato salad. The meats lacked BBQ SOUL in my opinion. The beans were great and the potatoe salad was terrible ( like the potatoes were not fully cooked.;They were hard just not hitting) Will go find another spot in town. I wanted some good bbq and I am left with a unsatisfied need for bbq. Thanks. read more

We were in downtown Augusta and wanted some bbq. We found Fifth & Fire shortly after they opened and only a handful of people were inside. We weren't expecting the inside to be so big, let alone the HUGE outdoor covered patio with lots of TVs! Everyone working was friendly and we got seated promptly outside. I got the chocolate orange espresso martini and my husband got the cinnamon maple old fashion. The espresso martini was to die for. One of the best I've had. Not overly sweet but was so delusions with the orange and chocolate. A match made in heaven. The old fashion was ok, needed a little more cinnamon and one big ice cube instead of a bunch of small ones. (He's picky with his old fashions) We decided to split a 2 meat and 2 sides plate. We got the brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was tender and seasoned well, nice and Smokey. Pulled pork was ok, some pieces were a little dry. The beans were really good as well, great bbq flavor. Potato salad was the best I've had. Hands down. Mustard heavy and not mayo which is AMAZING. it was still creamy but the flavor was unique and tangy. Highlight of the dish in my opinion! Definitely worth checking out! It was a great experience. read more

5th and Fire absolutely made my work trip to Augusta, highly recommend this place and they have a fun patio area too! The hostesses were super welcoming, but the bartender (believe he said his name was Ryan) was the real MVP. Our group was about to order a bunch of combo plates when he convinced us to go with a tray instead, and he loaded us up with killer sides and sauces he recommended. He even gave us a rundown of local craft beers and broke down the regional BBQ styles with us all being from out of town. Super personable, incredibly helpful, and honestly the best dining experience I had all week. I would absolutely come back on another visit! read more

Went with colleagues while in town. Was seated outside. Madison was our server and was great. She also had a drink she created that everyone loved. I ordered the pulled chicken, mac & cheese, and french fries with the sauces. I also did the tea with white peach. We had the fried pickles also as an appetizer. It was all really good overall with taste and quality. I loved the atmosphere and service. The food was good and loved the variety. read more

So I didn't even stay at the restaurant, but the restaurant did look nice It was like a retro look in there almost for a restaurant anyway. The service was pretty fast. My food was done in like 10 minutes. I got a brisket some sweet potatoes and baked beans now the brisket and sweet potatoes were amazing. The baked beans were my a little bit above average. This Sweet Tea was really sweet in a good way but Sweet for sure. Definitely gotta get back there and I would encourage you to meet me or beat me there . read more

They would have earned five stars just for the patio. Its large and spacious and multiple seating options and has a bar........BUT.....the amount of flies that were outside is abnormal. When we entered the lady at the hostess stand asked if we wanted to sit outside. I hesitated to say yes, but she told me it was covered and since it was a nice sunny day I agreed. Once we got outside she announced she would be my waitress....no problem she seemed friendly so we sat down and prepared to order. The patio was decorated for Halloween, actually the entire restaurant was decorated for the holiday. We started out ordering the sausage quest dip. The second she sat it on the table flies came from nowhere. Not one or two flies....A SWARM of them. By the time she returned with our food order I commented on the amount of flies and she says "yes we have a horrible fly problem out here and we cant get rid of them". If my grandson hadn't been having so much fun swatting the flies and shooing them from our food I would have demanded we be moved inside. Our party of three ordered the smoked and fried ribs. They were delicious. The mac and cheese had been made with too much flour/corn starch and it was thick and pasty. The greens had a heavy vinegar taste. Not bad but if you don't like vinegary taste you'll probably want to avoid these. Overall Ill be kind to our waitress because she was friendly and took multiple pictures of us around the Halloween decor. They've got to do something about the flies. That patio is a gem and would have earned them a five star review read more

Girls night out and decided to try this spot. It was recommended by the security guard. First the bartender Trent was amazing with his customer service and fantastic drinks. He was attentive and prompt with menu options. The ribs were tender and Smokey. Fall off the bone delicious. I will definitely return. read more

The good: - We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server stopped by shortly after we sat down and brought waters. - They serve cocktails and beer! The meh: - The thing we were most excited to try was the Pimento Cheese Brisket Melt ($17.19.) While it was *fine*, it could have been so much better. The brisket was severely under seasoned. So under seasoned that the pimento cheese flavor dominated. - The side of Mac and Cheese was serviceable. Quite creamy, but also quite bland. - We also ordered the 3 Meat & 2 Sides combo plate ($26.79.) The meats = ribs (+$6 upcharge,) sliced brisket (+$6upcharge), and pulled pork. For our sauces, we chose the Carolina BBQ (vinegar and mustard based) and the Sweet Heat (just like it sounds.) The brisket was fine. The best part were the fatty bits, but I do prefer the fattier cuts of brisket. The leaner parts were dry. The pulled pork was also dry. As for the ribs, y'all...I hate to say it, but I think the ribs are pressure cooked. There was no smoke ring on it at all and it was fall off the bone as if it had been pressure cooked. The meat was also that kind of mushy kind of dry texture what can also be a hallmark of pressure cooked meats. - The side of Sweet Potato Casserole was delicious! I've never had sweet potato casserole served like that before. It was like a sweet potato crisp with the crunchy oat topping. - The side of Potato Salad was...interesting. It leans more towards vinegary than mayonnaise-y (which is my preference.) My husband enjoyed it. All in all, we had a pleasant time there and ate our food, but are unlikely to return. Unfortunately, it was not to our taste for BBQ. read more

Located on Broad Street so near to the medical district and businesses this place is great for the after work as well as the weekend crowd. Typical bar atmosphere with a nice exposed brick looking wall across from a cool bar that has 6 screens for sports season and 8 beers on tap. Our server Faith was cool and always seemed to know exactly when to come check in. Great service! We got the baby board with the brisket and a peach state. There is soooo much meat on the baby board 3-4 people could have enjoyed it with drinks. I will say my favorite thing on there was the pulled pork and chicken. The sweet potato soufflé was great. There was not one bite without flavor. I will say I would have given 5 stars except they ran out of the ribs but we got double wings instead. My only critique is that the brisket could have been sliced thinner but e excellent taste in that. The peach state martini was cool and she adjusted. The sweetness for me which was great!!! read more

I had an outstanding first visit to Fifth and Fire. Arrived and was greeted warmly then seated immediately at a high top. I arrived a little before 6 PM and an hour or so later, it was packed including several large parties. My server was Rylande. He made the visit count at every turn. Great menu feedback, very personable and prompt as well. I would absolutely request him again on future visits. I asked for several sauce sample and ordered six wings to test the sauces. The wings were incredible and Hollar Sauce, The Hollar Sauce with Honey and The Alabama White BBQ all shined on the chicken. After that, ordered a puled pork sandwich, tossed the bun aside and ate the pork with the Carolina BBQ and some of the Classic and Sweet heat. If you like a Mustard BBQ on your pork like me, the Carolina was next level. Finally, the place is sleek and enormous! Well done in so many ways. This is a mist repeat for me! read more

Came here before going to a show at the Miller Theater on Saturday night and was sat right away. Hosts were friendly. Most of the indoor seating are high tops. Our server was Tony/Anthony and he was great! Gave good recommendations. Now the most important part of the review: the food! To start us off, we ordered the cheddar cornbread muffins with drizzle of hot honey. Between the two of us we split it, but definitely would not get if you are in a large group. It is a little over $5 for the "one bite" muffins. For the entree, we ordered the 3 meat plate + 2 sides. If you want brisket or smoked ribs it is $5 EXTRA for EACH time you want it. We got all brisket, $15 up-charge. I don't totally agree with that pricing when it's not like the portions are a huge amount, 6 slices of brisket in total. Our server recommended the sweet potato casserole, he mentioned that it is like a dessert, and I would agree. It was definitely delicious, but we could not finish it. We also got fries as the other side, it came in this cute metal fry basket. But unfortunately, I was not really impressed with the portion size of this either. While I am glad that we did come to check out this new restaurant, we won't be running back anytime soon. read more

Averaging out my 2 trips (to date). First was an evening play with a group of 6 of us. The table got the big board and loaded sausage queso. 3 of us got alcoholic drinks, and one Coke. We actually got our food before our drinks (water had already been at the table, yay) and then had to wait for sauces that accompanied the meats. Our server was very nice but she kept saying "sorry" a lot and I wanted to tell her to stop, that she didn't have to. Anyway, the table didn't like the Mac and cheese so much, and the collective thought everything needed more salt. (The pickle martini did not). I thought the brisket was pretty good, and unfortunately they were out of pulled pork so we couldn't try it. The second trip was for lunch. I'd seen the pulled pork sandwich special so decided to give it a go. It does not come with a side, but you can order one (and this costs less than the actual sandwich/side on the menu). I'm unsure if the sandwich is the same size, but it had a healthy amount of meat on it. I got the Alabama sauce as well as the house. The Alabama is a white sauce and quite tangy. I dipped my fries in it. The house BBQ had good flavor- I put it on my sandwich. I really enjoyed the lunch and thought it was filling. I didn't have to wait long, either. I'd come back- I didn't make it outside but hear they have a great outdoor space. The beams and the space are beautiful and quite open. Good addition to downtown. read more

The food is wonderful and the people are even better! Very family friendly and relaxed, definitely recommend. They offer catering, too!

We were at the Museum of History nearby and were looking for a lunch spot. My husband found this place and I am glad he did because it was delicious. It is a huge space with indoor, outdoor and bar seating. The menu has plenty of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and combo meat platters. We decided on the 2 meat combo with 2 sides. We chose pulled pork, pulled chicken, mac and cheese and the sweet potato casserole. Everything tasted great. We also had the fried pickles but forgot to take a picture. Service was good. read more

Thoroughly impressed is how this review starts! Finally trekked out to try what we've heard lots about and we both left with full and happy bellies. The atmosphere was very swanky and open which made it feel more than just a usual BBQ joint. The service was great! Shocked we didn't have a wait despite it being a Friday Night. We started with fried pickles that came with an Alabama White Sauce, now I'm not sure what the Alabama sauce is but it was delectable. I had the queso blanco chicken sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese. This hit the spot as the chicken was perfectly fried and the peppery queso with bacon made it delicious. The brisket tacos however were mouthwatering amazing, the brisket was perfectly soft with the pairing of sauce and cheese made it just what was needed! The collards were vinegary goodness as a perfectly paired side. We will definitely be back sooner rather than later! read more

Ambiance was everything! They have that perfect. Service was excellent as well. The server made sure to ensure we were taken care of at all times. My family and I were here to celebrate my Mother's Day in Laws birthday. They even gave her a gift card to come back. The food was plentiful. The prices for the shareable plate was reasonable. The food itself bland. I think we all agreed the sweet potato soufflé was probably the most flavorful. The portions were perfect but honest feed back is they need someone whose palette is familiar with BBQ. We also had an appetizer of the loaded sausage queso and it was by far filled with flavor. It won't take much to get them to the top especially with them being in Augusta. I hope someone adds the seasonings needed to keep them open and a staple in the community read more

What a great spot. We sat at the bar. The fried bbq spare ribs was a great start. We also ordered pulled pork, brisket and sausage. All so tender and good. The Mac and chz, greens, and sweet potato was so yum. The bartenders were great. They were super busy as it was The Masters. Drinks are great. Loved the cowhide chairs and the wood ceiling. Just a nice vibe. read more

Decent trendy bbq place on Main Street. The brisket is particularly good. Worth going if stay downtown

I'd been craving BBQ and kept hearing people rave about Fifth & Fire, so I had to check it out. The spot has a laid-back, low-key vibe, which honestly speaks volumes -- no frills, just good food. The space is open and roomy, perfect for groups, and it kind of feels like you've stepped into a big family cookout with someone's uncle manning the grill in the back. The service felt like warm and welcoming. The menu is simple and to the point. While there aren't a ton of options for dietary restrictions, that's pretty standard for BBQ -- I don't think I've ever seen "BBQ fish" or "BBQ vegetables" on a menu before, so no shade there. I started with the buffalo chicken pimento egg rolls, and wow -- they were jam-packed with flavor and stuffed to the brim. A total cheese lover's dream. For my main, I went with the 1 meat, 2 sides combo platter -- chicken, mac and cheese, collard greens, and an extra side of sweet potato casserole (because why not?). Everything was amazing. The chicken was tender and smoky, the mac creamy, and the sweet heat BBQ sauce had the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. My food came out in under 10 minutes, fresh and hot. I couldn't finish it all and happily took leftovers home -- which reheated beautifully. Would I recommend? Absolutely. Fifth & Fire delivers comforting, flavorful BBQ in a relaxed, down-home setting that feels genuine from start to finish. read more

These spare ribs had a nice caramelized glaze, but they were a bit more burnt than I expected. The charred edges gave them a crispy, smoky bite, and I could definitely taste that deep, slightly bitter char. The meat underneath was still tender and flavorful, but the burnt bits added a strong contrast to the sweet and savory glaze. The fresh green onions helped cut through it a little, but the smoky, burnt flavor definitely stood out. That said, the place itself was great--big, with a full bar and a nice atmosphere. The service was excellent, and our server was super attentive and sweet, making the experience even better. read more

Our first time here and when we arrived we were greeted quickly and sat quickly. Our server was good but also had a big party so he would have been quicker if it wasn't for the party. I ordered the brisket tacos 10/10 which were delicious I got potato salad as the side. The potato salad 0/10 don't recommend. I poured the honey holler which was sweet and had a kick the regular holler hot sauce was good too with an even bigger KICK lol. All sauces are made in house. The hubby got brisket and pulled chicken. He enjoyed the brisket and said the pulled chicken was a little dry. He had Mac n cheese and collards as a side both very delicious the greens are on the vinegar side more than sweet side. I would come back. He also ordered the maple bacon old fashioned which was also delicious. We also ordered fried pickles as appetizer comes with Alabama sauce which was good but we thought they tasted better with their ranch. 8/10 over all would come back. Just know lunch menu has small differences from dinner menu. read more

Stopped in for dinner and beers before our show at the Miller Theater, just a block or two away. The service at the bar was amazing, and the bartender took the time to make some beer recommendations. They have a nice mix of local and regional craft beer. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which was delicious. The restaurant, a historic building, is bigger than it looks from outside, and there were plenty of seating options. Friendly vibe, will definitely go back next trip to Augusta. read more

Ambience. A Service. A Food. A Price. A Say, What?!! A new BBQ place on Broad street ?!! This new gentrified space opened Jan 2025. What a Gem on this end of Broad street! My first time...kept hearing rave reviews and just had to try it out! Street parking available. This is a HUGE space to just come and hang out and have cocktails- yes- full Bar!!! You won't believe the space in the open area back of building!!! ...albeit, the FOOD is Delicioso, TOO!!! Very friendly greeting walking in and my server was fantastic accommodating my every whim. Ordered the pimento cheese chicken eggrolls... this was an interesting concept but it works with the spicy chili mayo. A little on the messy side with frying and cheese melting...but , oh,so satisfying with beer! Then the 2 of us shared a 2 Meat and 2 Sides platter and added an extra side! Wow!!! The smoked brisket (extra$5) was so tender moist beautifully smoked and fall apart meaty fatty edge bark ! I thought I would need a steak knife but the portion was fork tender that pulled apart easily. Delicious experience. The smoky pulled pork was moist and smoked nicely , perfect seasoned. I tried both meats by them selves and they stand alone on their own with each bite. NOW the sauces!!! Oh, MY. There must be 7 different house made sauces made fresh weekly! Choices from creamy to mild to medium to spicy and they have a vinegar sauce! I LOVED every single one! Even the habanero was nicely spicy hot... ask on request. NOW the sides are usually afterthoughts at most bbq places...not here.. the Mac n cheese was al dente elbow noodles with nice spoonfuls of melted creamy cheddar through out and on top. The potato salad was so different and unique- nice bites of perfect boiled red potatoes with red pepper onions and some fine seed mustard ! The ham ? collards were perfectly cooked and silky with a nice balance of acid to make delectable bites! They also have sides of sliced kosher pickles (not made in house but delish sour crunchy) and housemaid red onion vinegar side! My ONLY issue was the "Hawaiian sweet roll". Came out warm but after sitting became cold and hard. But who needs those carbs! Heh Overall... I really enjoyed my experience with the ambience...Service- - and mostly the FOOD!!! I'll be Back!!! I'm a FaN!!! read more

We had a party of 6 and shared a few appetizers (pimento cheese dip and nachos) and they were delicious! We ordered the small board and a 6 piece of roasted wings and it was enough food for 4-6 people. We tried all the sauces, which were all amazing. The grainy mustard sauce was my favorite.

I want to be up front and share that this visit occurred on their first official day being open. As such, experiences can vary during the initial weeks any business (but especially food & beverage related) is open. I arrived about a hour after they had opened and found a few guests were already inside (some at tables, others at the bar). I was immediately impressed with the decor and ambiance. I knew their menu was barbecue centric and I had wondered how they planned to focus the interior (as it is a historic space). But I must admit, they did it up right! The wood roofing and long beams across the ceiling, the lights, the cow print chairs. They went all in and I'm here for it. They brought out paper menus, but also shared that we could scan the QR Code on the table to order (and that those orders came out quicker as they went immediately to the kitchen staff). I know not everyone is a fan of QR Codes, but I will say this is one way to ensure your order is exactly how you want it and that you can pay at any point (no looking for wait staff, asking for the check, getting the check, waiting for them to pick it up, then waiting for them to bring your receipt and card back). I went with my barbecue go-to for first visits, pulled pork sandwich. It comes with a side so I did baked beans then added a side of coleslaw. While waiting on the order, which wasn't long, I did a walk around. I wanted to see their outside space and the barn space (event venue). They have plenty of seating! The outdoor space is between the two buildings, covered, and has large ceiling fans. I hope to sit out there on my next visit. The barn venue space feels literally like a large barn. Keep that in mind when you have a future event. When the orders came out I knew this was going to be a meal to enjoy. The mound of meat and fresh bun were just calling for the coleslaw and sweet heat sauce (you get to choose) on the side. And those beans, I know this sounds like a small thing but I promise it is not. Anyone who can cook baked beans with perfect texture, flavor, and moisture knows a thing or two about all things barbecue. Some of the friendliest staff you will encounter downtown. I know I will be back and I recommend you stop in to experience it for yourself! read more

Good BBQ!! It is . This is an amazing eating experience. You definitely want to go if in the area. It is a cute hangout spot with great food. It's good for families and is kid friendly especially when it first opens at 4pm. The people are extremely friendly and they are wanting to please you as the guest. Definitely recommend. I wanted to give it 5 stars but the sides are lacking. They could be good but the only ones that we enjoyed were the collard greens (vinegar based) and Mac and cheese (basic nothing special). We tried most of them. Our least favorite green beans. They were crunchy. If this is what you like then that's you but not me. However the meat, the staff, and the ambiance definitely 5 out of 5!! read more
