French Onion Soup
Amanda C.

Cozy cafe with delicious food. Came by for Saturday lunch. Service itself was mixed- when we walked in they asked if we had a reservation and asked if we'd like to sit in or out. Then another staff said if we didn't have a reservation we would need to sit outside. Then the first person said there was a seat available inside and the other person said we needed to finish in 45m because there was a reso coming in...we said OK but it seemed like she really didn't want us there. Our server was actually super kind (the first person) and we liked her. We ordered the French onion soup, special sandwich of the day, and exotic burger with fries. Everything was really good - best french onion soup we've had. My sandwich was delicious with tender chicken and smoky grilled veg. Portions good. Husband enjoyed his burgers, fries were a bit soggy. I was a bit worried about the 45m time limit but each time I checked in they said don't worry about it...an hour passed and we were not kicked out and there was no pressure. The initial encounter in the beginning definitely left a weird impression. We would return if we are back but seems like there may be some miscommunication or differences in expectations among servers.

My huge chicken sandwich
Laura P.

On the way to Atlanta, we ventured a bit to come here. Very cute neighborhood, that whole area looks pretty new. The restaurant had great sandwich options. I got the fried chicken sandwich but grilled. It came with a huge French bread loaf. I actually thought the blsauce would be interesting but it was too.much - the second half had too much pepper. The Ceasar salad had top much parmesan. The fries I hear had sit out too.long. the other two sandwiches were good and on the small side at least compared to my huge one that I couldn't finish. Service was nice. Would come again hut try other items and maybe try another place since we really don't come to Augusta much.

Strawberry cake
Kay G.

We were visiting our son who lives in Augusta and he suggested we all go to Manuel's Bread Cafe. He had been there a few days earlier and really liked it. It was super hot that day, 95 degrees so we did reserve for indoor table and we were seated promptly in the nice cool A/C dining room. For appetizers, I had the Asparagus & Potato soup with Creme Fraiche which was delicious . My husband and son shared the Frog Legs appetizer which they enjoyed. I had a nice glass of Chardonnay to accompany my meal. For main course, I had the Boeuf Bourgignon which was delicious! My husband had one of the daily specials, Crispy Crispy flounder which I thought was just okay. For dessert we shared a large piece of strawberry cake which was delicious. These dessert portions are quite large so I do recommend splitting them. Overall, very good service, eclectic menu, nice ambiance, I recommend this restaurant.

Duck Confit Salad
David H.

Food: excellent, the duck was flavorful and fall off the bone good. Crisp skin soft leg and thigh meat topping mixed greens a Dijon forward dressing, cucumber, tomato and awesome and I mean awesome croutons! Great dish all around not too heavy yet filling and super flavorful. Service: attentive and helpful, knowledgeable about the menu, very good! Ambience: calm and relaxing very welcoming and comfortable. This is a gem of a restaurant situated in a neighborhood, well worth it! I cannot recommend this place more! Excellent work to this great team! I had breakfast yesterday and it was amazing! Goat cheese omelette, great toast, crispy bacon and great OJ! Pure greatness here.

Always our family's go to place for any celebration or just when we are in need of some yummy food and dessert!

All American Burger
Shelby B.

Manuel's Bread Cafe is situated in the more upscale and cute part of north Augusta and is one of the most reliable and pleasant places to have brunch, lunch, or dinner in the area. While their indoor seating can get a little cramped, their outdoor seating is fantastic with both umbrellas and fans for those sunny days and heaters for the colder ones. On one frigid morning while we were there they even had some blankets for us to use! Food is fantastic, and my personal favourite is their burger which is an unbeatable deal. Workers are all so nice and very accommodating to people with basically wild toddlers :) This place is expectedly very popular, so walk in seating on a weekend is basically impossible. Be sure to snag a reservation!

Whole flounder and vegetables
Juanita G.

Service....Exceptional Checked all foods for citrus. My allergy Ambiance...I love this place. The desert cabinet makes you drool to take extra home with you. Food....flounder fish... both of us the portions, the taste, the presentation. Highly recommend Dumpy Lunch or dinner Birthday...anniversary.. just because. Yes.... we will return

Kobe Burger

This was my first time visiting Manuel's. The food was good. The Kobe Beef Burger was good. Bunch ended just before I got here. But I will come again and try brunch. The service was also really good. If you wanna come for brunch, for sure look up there brunch hours. They do offer both outdoor and indoor seating. I came on a nice sunny clear day and sitting outside would have been perfect. For those who are gluten free, I asked if they have any gluten free options since it's not on the menu. There sandwiches and burgers can be made with gluten free bread. And for breakfast they can have gluten free toast.

Cake was fantastic.

We tried turtle cheesecake, pineapple upside down cake, hummingbird cake, coconut cake and the triple chocolate cake. They were all amazing.

Chicken du Barry

I love this restaurant so much. I come here often. Kaylee normally is my server and she's always so sweet and helpful. I always get the fried ravioli but this time the recipe was different. It's a little too crunchy now and the coating is sort of bland. I miss the original ravioli!

Wonderful place with good food in a beautiful setting.
Eppy S.

Located in North Augusta just 5 minutes from downtown Augusta Ga. The neighborhood has the feel of a small seashore village. A beautiful neighborhood full of trees and parks is ideal for bike rides, walks and pet walks. The food at Manuels is delicious and reasonably priced. The wife and I plan to come back for drinks and something from their wide assortment of deserts. Whether it's for the food or the ambiance, we highly recommend this place.

Lunch in downtown Augusta can go in a lot of directions, but today we wanted something inexpensive,…read morelocal in spirit, and fresh enough to feel like a small reset in the middle of the day. Yelp nudged us toward New Moon Cafe, and while the signage from the street is minimal enough that we almost walked past it, we eventually found our way inside and were glad we did. At 12:30 on a Saturday the timing worked in our favor. We stepped right up to the counter with no queue at all, placed our order, and settled in. By the time our food arrived about fifteen minutes later, the line had grown to the point where people were waiting nearly that long just to order, which gave the whole place that lively, slightly chaotic weekend energy without ever feeling rushed. Mrs. K chose the smoked salmon bagel, which came out panini pressed, a small twist on a classic that she enjoyed. I am still keeping things keto, so the chef's salad with blue cheese was exactly what I needed, a generous portion that felt balanced and satisfying without pushing me off track. They offer plenty of coffee drinks and smoothie combinations, but we kept things simple and were perfectly happy with our choices. There is outdoor seating if that is your preference, and the whole experience had that relaxed, local charm that makes Augusta lunches feel unhurried even when the dining room is filling up around you.

First time in South Carolina and tried the hotel restaurant, Salt & Marrow, not a pleasant surprise…read moreof an establishment as I thought, it was more of a disappointment. From waiting 20 minutes for the only server on a Saturday night (mind you there was only 4 tables sat in the restaurant to give you context), to a poorly poured beer (that must not have been draft, but from a can or bottle due to the deficit in head space), to no corn bread brought to the table as offered, and a 40 minute wait for any food to come out. I almost walked out to grab a bite to eat from the hotels mini convience store. Now for the positive.The restaurant is nice, esthetically, warm and charming.. The small plate scallops with rice with delicious butter sauce was, well, delicious and worth the money. The cornbread, when it finally arrived with my dinner, was soft and had a sweet honey glaze on top with a slight crunch reminisce of a cream brulee, so I suppose that would constute dessert as there was none available. Overall, a delicious dinner. As a bonus, after my first bite, it was nice to be asked by the chef how it was, as he was walking around to each of the four tables having dinner. With that said, I hope breakfast is better in the morning and dinner will most likely be out in town the rest of my stay.

Salt & Marrow Kitchen located in South Augusta across from SRP Park…read more A high end dining experience worth every dollar, they do things right! Food: My wife and I ordered the Lamb Chops with Truffle Fries and Collard Greens. The Lamb Chops were delicious, cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. The Collard were tender and well seasoned. The Truffle Fries were served hot and crispy outside and tender potato inside, very tasty. Short Ribs with mashed potatoes. The Short Ribs were fall off the bone tender, juicy with a great tasteful gravy. The Mashed potatoes were cooked perfectly not sure what was all in them however I would definitely get them again and again! Service: Absolutely hands down the best customer service. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and promptly. Our waitress was so sweet and polite also attentive but not pestering. The entire staff came by the table wish us a happy anniversary and at the end of our meal the staff presented us with chocolate cake a courtesy. Ambiance: Classy decor, elegant table setting and comfortable casual lighting perfect for a romantic meal.

Sunday Brunch at The Annapolitan! Since we were originally from Maryland, and I read this article…read moreabout this new restaurant replacing what was formally known as Bistro 55, in North Augusta - we thought we would give it a try since it features Chesapeake Bay-inspired steaks and seafood. Since it was brunch we ordered the crab cakes and a traditional eggs benedict. Both were excellent especially the crab cakes since it is rare that we can find crab cakes that equal what we had become accustomed to in

Went there today 15 March for my birthday and was truly disappointed…read more The wait for the food was entirely too long, especially when there was only 4 other tables occupied. We arrived 10+ minutes before party of 5 and ordered our food before them and our food arrived at the same time as theirs along with the party of 3 that was there when we arrived. Needless to say my French toast was cold, I sent it back, they wanted to give me an order of French toast that clearly belonged to someone else, because it had caramel and apples and I ordered mine with strawberries. I said no thank you, I was good and didn't want any at all. Midway through my meal the guy brings out the French toast with strawberries, but the kicker is it wasn't freshly made but put in the microwave, because it was soggy. The strawberry compote tasted like it came out of a jar, and the French toast had one strawberry sliced in half on it. I gave 2 stars because the grits were decent and the crab cakes were okay, (to much mustard), they didn't have that Maryland style taste of Old Bay seasoning (I grew up in the area and frequent Lexington Market and restaurants, when I visit there, so I know the taste of good crab cakes). Sincerely very disappointed Mia

Now if you're reading this review and don't know who I am and/or…read morehaven't seen my previous reviews for Bodega then you might be wondering, "what is he talking about?" Let me clarify. Bodega isn't going anywhere, I am. And as I begin the moving process I have created a mental list of places I will miss in the Augusta area. And trust me, I know all the places. Fancy, hole-in-the-wall, no online presence, hyper online presence. I know all about them. And Bodega has consistently been a go-to spot for me over the years. Typically it is a Sunday morning/early afternoon, with a cup of coffee, and about half the time a soft shelled crab sandwich. Every other time, I throw caution to the wind. Could be a biscuit. Could be a pulled pork sandwich or The Lox. Who knows. But here's what I do know. The service, ambiance, and quality of what I order is always always at a level of excellence. And where else can you interact with the furry team member (Ash) as part of the experience? Such a relaxing spot, with the ceiling fans cooling you off (and the table fans keeping flies at bay) and the fountain trickling in the background. Please, if you are in the area be sure to go by and make up for my absence!

It was bold, curious, mysterious and honestly had me asking for the name of the coffee before I left! We had a server in training, so two servers! Both were outstanding! Quick to refill our drinks and remove plates that were empty. The food.....let me just say I not only spoke with management, I also was able to speak with the head chef to give my praise. I am not one to sing false praise, trust me. When I tell you I have never, ever, had a brunch as delicious as his!!! I am a French toast connoisseur, and his was a 12/10! There was not one bite of food that wasn't outstanding. I was truly impressed, with his creativity and his attention to detail because it shined like a diamond from the front of house all the way down to the sweet lady filling the cakes when I was taking my pictures for this review! "Let me get it all full and pretty now before you get those pictures!" I mean, if she wasn't just the sweetest thing, and took 100% pride in her work. Same with the gentleman working the omelet station. He came in the day before to prep the fish (which is a long day of work!) The love they put into each dish truly shines through effortlessly! With permission, personally, I would suggest they rename their Sunday Brunch to "Soul-filled Sunday Brunch" because #1 I left ready to go to sleep! #2 I had a religious experienced during that meal, in blessings and dining I have only ever had at Church Potlucks! #3 It elevated some fancy and some common foods to such heights, I was expect to be hearing gospel music while I ate! #4 Personally, I hope heaven's banquet table is much like today's-full of love, flavor and most importantly-community! Everyone from other diners enjoying their brunch to servers, sous chefs to the top man himself-not one person wasn't smiling from ear to ear. It's been near a decade since I've seen that many smiling people all in one place! While I will have to limit how often I come for Brunch lest my clothes start shrinking! Edgar's by far, takes the trophy for elevated dining experiences in Augusta, Ga! Best of all, a percentage of all their sales goes back directly into Helms College (located in the same shopping center.) Helms college offers hands-on education in culinary arts, health services, and industrial trades like HVAC/R. Keep up the amazing work, I eagerly look forward to dining with you again!
