Love this place. It takes a while to get your food so don't come in a hurry. Great things take time and the Ruben is better than great. This is the place to take a breath, visit with friends and enjoy great food. Plus the sweet tea and lemonade is amazing. read more

After going to Cafe 209 and ended up leaving because they got my order wrong, I figured I try to find the place since I saw on my maps it was 295 feet away from me. Turned to be a great place to visit and get food at. I took a look around and I truly liked what the place looked like. The woman at the cash register approached me and asked if I needed any help and I told her that I was looking around and was going to order something. She kindly lend me a menu and I asked her a couple of questions about the hot dogs there. She told me they were all beef since I don't eat pork and happily rung me up when I ordered the sausage overload with chocolate brownie. It only cost $7:29 much better than cafe 209 and very excellent mannerisms and service. I'm glad I was able to find this place. I highly recommend this place. read more

I love this old-timey downtown lunch spot. I've enjoyed hot pastrami sandwiches and the BLT.

The wait was long as they were short staffed, but it was worth the wait. We ordered the Reuben and the pastrami on rye and the German potato salad. Very good. read more

I always enjoy a Hildebrandt's sandwich. Always fresh, plentiful, delicious, and served with a smile.

Loved this place. Had the Ruben with chips and a drink. Its an old place but the food is just great. Would deffo go again soon.

It was delicious. Took a while because they were busy and only two people working. Don't knock them for it taking a while to get your food it's worth the wait and they are friendly, nice folks. Enjoy the meal experience. read more

Took a while to get our order in, but the sandwiches were great! We will def be going again. Located on the corner of 6th and Green St in Augusta, the building is very old and feels like you are visiting "yesterYear".. kind of nice! read more

A must visit deli in Augusta. Great German deli food made from scratch on site. Their Reuben is amazing, so my wife tells me since she flat out refused to share Their German Louis sandwich reminds me of my childhood, having braunschweiger on pumpernickel at Opas for lunch. Stop by and support a great local business. read more

Without question, this is my new favorite lunch spot. Placing orders over the phone can be a little tricky. Look over the menu and have a solid idea of what you want. Clarify often. The food. Oh my gosh, the food. I had a traditional Reuben, my boss the club, and my coworker the daily special chicken salad sandwich. All three of us got an order of German potato salad, I had the broccoli slaw, and my boss a "sweet slaw." All of us were raving. Not one thing failed to impress. This is what food should be. read more

Hildebrandt's - Rueben with sides. So delicious! - Delis Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

This deli is a hidden gem in Augusta! The inside reminds me of my grandma's home; cozy and real. The sandwich choices are grand! I got the Pastrami Reuben Sandwich and it had so much tang and meat flavor. It is a bit on the pricy side if you plan to get chips and a drink BUT if you live in Augusta and haven't been here...well let's just say check this place out! read more

I had the club and it was amazing! The veggies were fresh and crisp, as was the bacon. The meats were very flavorful and could stand out on their own. And the bread was toasted just the right amount to be crunchy while still being tender! I would eat here every day if I could. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

I haven't tried the sandwich yet because they are short staffed and after waiting 5 minutes to find someone to take my order it has been another 20 waiting on a sandwich. Interior looks to be an old deli/grocery store when downtown Augusta was thriving. Old but I like the antique quaint store. To be continued: The sandwich is delicious, unfortunately a piece of plastic off the wrapper was in the sandwich. I could see this place being a go to if I lived here but the service is just so below par. Most people can't wait 30 minutes for a sandwich, which explains the average age of the customer in here being 65. They have either been waiting 30 years for their food or they are retired. read more

I was excited about going here, because all the reviews and a five star rating. I loved the atmosphere of his place. It's like an antique store and a sandwich shop had a baby. You can actually buy the things on display, which I thought was pretty cool. The food was better than average. I would even say good. I had the Italian sandwich ($7.50), German potato salad ($2 for small) and bottle of Coke ($2). So that's $11.50 for a lunch, sandwich meal! That's crazy to me! My wife had a club sandwich ($7.50), small bag of chips ($1.10), and a sweet tea ($2 for instant sweet tea). My one daughter had a simple hotdog ($4), chips ($1.10) and drink ($2). The other had grilled cheese sandwich ($4), chips ($1.10) and drink ($2). So, almost $12 per adult and $8 per child. This place is good, but it isn't amazing. A normal child hotdog or grilled cheese sandwich should not cost more than $2. The kid's meal should've been $4 with side and drink. An adult, simple sandwich meal should've been $8 with side and drink. No wonder there was nobody eating on a Friday at 1:30 pm. I hope this message gets to the owners. If you have a good product, which they do, and sell it at a reasonable price, which they don't, people will return. There is now way a family of 4 should be paying $40 for a meal at lunch. I can go to firehouse subs and eat a better meal with larger sandwiches for $25. You would have a lot more customers if the prices were fair. If this were the case, they would have four stars, not five. This place is good, not great. read more

Really cool little place, deli meats are crazy good and the sandwich and fixings had all the authentic German flavors

Great place for lunch! My wife and I were downtown one day and decided we wanted a good deli sandwich. We looked no further than here. There was ample, free parking which is a huge plus. I will say that I suspect we may have just gotten lucky to park where we did. It was about 1120 in the morning - prior to the lunch rush. I was pleased when we walked in because as advertised - it felt like an old feed store. We were greeted warmly by the staff as soon as we walked in. Another plus. Good customer service is becoming increasingly harder to find. My wife ordered the club with German potato salad and I ordered the traditional Rueben with German potato salad. Another plus in ordering is you have multiple options as to how they make your sandwich (rye, wheat, white, etc). The man who took our order excitedly told us there were two remaining pieces of homemade Coca Cola Cake. There was no hesitating. They were ours! We finished ordering and sat down at tables like grandma and grandpa had in their houses - table clothes and all. The entire place had a feel of the late 1800's. I was waiting for the sheriff to ride up on his horse outside. While we waited for our lunch - we ate our dessert and it was amazing! 'Nuff said there. Lunch came and before I could finish my small, warm, perfectly authentic German potato salad, my wife had devoured her club. My Reuben didn't stand a chance either. Overall, this is a great place to eat and I cannot wait to go back. Next time I'll bring guests. read more

Old School atmosphere. The Reuben was above average. I want to eat more sandwiches here; I feel it is a good sandwich place in Augusta. That German-style potato salad is 5-Star! I think you will enjoy this sandwich establishment. read more

Had a wonderful lunch with friends. The Ruben is the best around!!!! I love the German potato salad but if you're a cucumber salad lover they have that too. read more

I went to college with Henry Hildebrant and went there when it was a store in the 70's. I never ate there until about 4 years ago and had the corned beef Reuben and German potato salad. It was by far the best Reuben I had ever eaten and the German potato salad was phenominal. Now every time I am downtown that is the only place I eat. I have taken many people there since and every one of them feel the same way. If you get a chance try it out and you will feel the same way. 5 stars do not give it justice. It should be ten stars. read more

This place is an Augusta landmark. I fear for the day it closes as they have the best Rueben in town. It's almost impossible to find family run restaurants like this anymore. We go there often, have the shirts, and buy sausages and bratwursts to take with us! A great unique place to take out of town guests. Love, love, love! read more

I just love this place, you can't go wrong with anything you choose from Ms Luanne's kitchen. Love the new setup and all that is happening here. read more

Boy what a swell authentic German restaurant. So nastalgic and family oriented. It was like stepping back in time for me. I first came here in the late 70s. They still taste great and deliver great service. The menu is basic with German favorites such as German potato salad, pickled dill cucumbers(freshly made). They still have a real deli meat counter. Everything is freshly made. No long wait. The building has wood floors and very high ceilings. 1800 style. The people who work her are friendly and ready to assist. The Hilderbrants daughter ms. Lou Ann is still here running things the way her family always did. She comes out and speak to customers thanking them for patronage. She gave me a little history and even let me take a picture. If you want to step back in time and enjoy pleasant atmosphere and good food, Hilderbrants is still here for us. read more

This cozy spot is like going to your old aunt's place but with good food. I had the corned beef Reuben and it was perfectly prepared. The service is very hospitable and I would go back when I'm going through Augusta any time. read more

Pros: it's a cute little place. Very straightforward menu. Plenty of seating. Cons: it's pretty darn expensive for a sandwich and a small side. I'm talking $25 for two people to eat a lunch that didn't fill us up. Girl at the counter wasn't the most hospitable person, maybe because it was New Years Eve? The broccoli Craisin salad side was good but it was so full of almond slivers it was hard to eat. Dill cucumber salad wasn't that impressive. It's not easy to find at all, sign is barely noticeable and parking if you're disabled isn't the best. Overall it was a cute place but we won't be back. read more

Great little sandwich shop. I've lived in Augusta for two years and never knew they were here. They offer a nice variety of German style sandwiches with sides like potato salad and slaw. The service was very prompt. The building is very historic and overall a good experience! read more

Run of the mill sandwiches, good food just not worth the money for the meal size. Moved here from California and kept hearing about this place, once COVID is over well stop in and try again. read more

Great deli with Wonderful sandwiches! Happened upon this place in downtown Augusta; we'll be back!

My husband and I have tried the Lu's choice, Italian Louis, and the pastrami Ruben and they are all amazing. The German potato salad is also really good. I would eat here everyday if I could! read more

I went to this place today for lunch, because I had to try Augusta's best rated sandwiches! Needless to say I wasn't disappointed! It's a little of the beaten path but totally worth it! The decor is antique in a good way. The thing I loved most about this place was the great service and the quality of ingredients they use! I ordered a Hot King Louis and an Italian King Louis and they were amazing! The best part is that you can grab some sandwiches and walk the the Savannah River and have a great picnic! Would recommend this place to everyone who is in the mood for a great sandwich!! read more

Just finished up lunch. My girlfriend and I decided to try Hildebrandt's after reading the reviews on it last night and we were not disappointed! I had the King Louie Hot which included buffalo chicken among 3 other meats. It was great! Not too big, not too small and had great flavor! The little lady had the Rachel which was a turkey Ruben basically and a side of German potato salad. The sandwich was delicious and the potato salad tastes just like my grandmother's recipe. All in all great food, very nice people and interesting things to look at while you wait as well! Will definitely go again! read more

There is just so much to say about this place. It's like stepping back in time. The old family photo's, marble countertops, everything here is either old or original. I was working in Augusta for a week and visited here three times. Originally because it's just so old and old school. But my coworkers only other suggestions for lunch were lame chains. The people who work there are super nice, I assume they are all family. They have random old time treats, stuff you just don't see any more. The sandwich was good, not re inventing the wheel but still solid, nice bread and fixings. If you find yourself in Augusta and want to see what life was like before Wal Mart stop in and say hi, get a sandwich. You'll be glad you did. Oh yeah, they close at 1:30 on Wednesday and are closed on Sunday read more

Old historic place with warm and friendly people! Had the pastrami Ruben with German potato salad and it was very good! Price was very reasonable and I will be back! read more

Great setting great folks. Food was good to especially the German potato salad. Even the train wanted in, came by when we were ordering. Would have gotten higher review but price was higher than value of food read more

What can I say about Hildebrandt's? They are an Augusta Institution, around longer than most anything else in this Country, let alone city. If you desire a good, delicious Sandwich, in a good, pleasing environment, then Hildebrandt's is where you want to go. I have had nearly every sandwich on the menu and each one is absolutely delicious!! Their Club Sandwich is THE BEST club you will ever have, their Rachel is heaven in your mouth, and their Pork Chop sandwich is just perfection. If you're hungry and feel like a good old fashioned sandwich, go downtown and tell Luann and the rest I said hello! read more

This place is cool great building and a great story behind the operation. The food here is pretty good. We had a Rueben and a hot pastrami. Both sandwich's like I said were good, however, they lacked meat. The sandwiches were very lean for the price. Heck charge a few more bucks and make it a good thick deli sandwich. This place was on our list to check off.... read more

The sandwiches are so good here havent had a bad one yet. This might be a smaller market but you can find what you need in it. Love to come for lunch read more

The atmosphere here is very unique. It's like stepping back in time because you are. This place has been in business several generations and hasn't changed much inside since the turn of the century. Food is mainly sandwiches - this isn't a traditional German restaurant with the full plate of sauerkraut and brats. No, just sandwiches- but those are very well presented and taste great. Perfect lunch while in the area. read more

I don't give too many 5 stars but for lunch this place fits the bill. I ordered the Rueben, German potato salad and cole slaw, I ate every bite on my plate and felt very satisfied. This place reminds me of old cafes I like to eat at on Main Street in small towns in Texas. The Rueben was on E of the top 3 I have eaten and their coke slaw tastes like the one Chick Fil A did away with. Overall I love this place read more

We are new to Augusta so even a simple lunch out is opportunity to explore our new home town. We saw Hildebrandt's reviewed on Yelp and were intrigued by the rave reviews. Add our voice to the choir singing the praises of the refreshing glimpse into an era gone by!! This little gem did not disappoint. We were greeted with a friendly "hello" when walked in the door by Chris. He was so nice and helpful when we told him it was our first visit. We ordered a Ruben and a Rachel with a side of the most delicious German potato salad I have ever tasted, and I was born in Frankfurt, Germany! The sandwiches were tasty from first bite to last. To top off the lunch we had the last piece of homemade peach cobbler. This was exactly as if my Grandma made it. Loved it so much I went back in the kitchen and shook LouAnns hand who was responsible for the southern delicacy! You gotta try this place but get there in time to have dessert. You don't want to miss that last piece!! read more
