    Fried Chicken & Waffle and Eggs Benedict on a biscuit with chicken tenders.
    Brian C.

    On our way to Charleston SC we stopped overnight in Augusta GA. We decided to grab some supper and I came across this diner on Yelp. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday and were seated right away. A young lady named Kayla Jo was our server. She was fantastic and took great care of us during our visit. I ordered chicken and waffles with tenders instead of the bone in chicken. My wife ordered eggs Benedict. My dish came with strawberry butter, spicy maple syrup, and regular maple syrup. The waffle was delicious and mixed with the strawberry butter and spicy syrup it was delicious. Chicken was crispy and again adding the spicy syrup put the dish over the top. The portion was quite plentiful too. My wife's dish was served on a biscuit instead of an English muffin and with a chicken tender. The hollandaise sauce was cheesy but not overpowering. She enjoyed it quite a bit and thought it was delicious. The manager checked on us as did Kayla Jo frequently. Food was hot, fresh, and delicious. If you're in Augusta, you should check out this diner.

    I had the shrimp & grits and it really pleased my taste bud. The shrimp was well seasoned and the dish was put well together overall. I was still hungry and ordered the San Francisco egg benedict. The poached egg was cooked right and the hollandaise sauce could use a bit more seasoning.

    Biscuits & Sausage Gravy, eggs and hashbrowns.
    Allen H.

    Traveling through Augusta I came across a familiar name. This location was smaller than the Florida establishments I've been too but clean and friendly. I was seated quickly. My waiter was John and he was very nice and attentive. I knew what I wanted so placed my order for sausage biscuits and gravy with medium eggs and hash-browns, coffee and water. It arrived in just a few minutes. Nice hearty meal, sausage gravy was very tasty, eggs were cooked correctly, hash-browns delicious. My only dislike was the biscuits. (-1). Very, very dense. I would have preferred fluffier/flaky biscuits. The dense biscuits required more gravy but because of the portion size I just scraped one clean and added that gravy to the other biscuit. This was a better ratio. Metro is known for large helpings and fair prices. I would still return and suggest you give it a try.

    My best friend and I went and we both had the Bissell Breakfast. When I tell you there was nothing but empty plates left over I am serious! The order came out lightning fast and my sausage was still sizzling! The waitress was amazing, checked on us and got everything we needed! This is definitely an 80's diner, the music brought me back to my high school years. The decor and atmosphere were fantastic! I love the green and white lights inside. I visited the restroom and it was well kept. I highly recommend this place for any meal!

    The food was and service was great, especially our server Warren, he was very attentive, kind, and just awesome. On the 2nd visit our server Cheryl was very nice. The Hostess on the other hand proceeded to seat my daughter and I in a dirty booth. I asked her nicely if she could clean off the table and I pointed out the booth also and this was after she somewhat wiped. Please go over cleanliness with ALL STAFF upon seating guest, this was just NASTY!!!!! I gave 3 stars 1 for the food that was delicious and a star for each server.

    Belgian Waffle with Cinnamon Roll add on
    Scott G.

    Best waffle I've ever had! Seriously, it was incredible. I highly suggest that you go just to try it. The service was excellent. Our server was two steps ahead on everything and extremely nice. Everything about our group of six: food, service, and ambiance was all very good. Everyone stated that the food came out fast and tasted great!

    Spicy Honey Chicken Biscuit, Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, French Toast Breakfast
    Jordan N.

    Simple. Great breakfast/brunch. I lived in Augusta for 4 years and never had a bad metro experience! Always good service & great food! Give the spicy honey chicken biscuit a try! That biscuit puts Chick fil A to shame!

    The Bissell Breakfast substituted the pancakes and toast for a waffle.
    Crystal C.

    This is where the locals eat! My family always go to brunch after Christmas Day and this was our #1 choice this year. It wasn't that busy when we arrived, but this place can get packed. Just know it's worth the wait because you definitely get way more food than you expect. The diner has a hometown feel as well. This time around, I ordered the Bissell Breakfast. I substituted the pancakes and toast for a waffle. My sister had the avocado toast. Both were delicious! Again, if you're hungry come here because you're definitely getting more bang for your buck. Shout out to Rod our waiter that took very good care of us! If you're in town visiting, ask for him. Thanks again for a great experience. We'll definitely be back when we #WantWhatWeWant

    CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

    Second time eating here and disappointed again. Ordered the Ceasar salad and the salad came with 1 sliced up chicken breast (not enough meat) and now ceasar dressing whatsoever. Used my own dressing at home.

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!

My girlfriend had the turkey bacon, the COE cakes (which are delicious hash browns), and the classic sweet waffles. I went with the beef quesadilla and the classic lemonade, which comes with free refills. The quesadilla was a great choice and the hash browns were very tasty. The waffle had a great flavor and was nice and soft, though it was served a bit cold. One thing to keep in mind is the presentation; the food is served on plastic plates with plastic silverware. While we tried not to let that affect our judgment since we were there for the food, presentation does eventually matter. Also, the temperature inside was a little warmer than I'd like--it was about 58 degrees outside, but that coolness definitely didn't translate to the dining room. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it was noticeable. The most important thing to know before you go is that they only accept cash tips. It's a bit of a strange policy in this day and age since most people don't carry cash, especially when you're already using plasticware for the meal. They do have CashApp if you think to ask, but it's easy to forget if you aren't prepared. I really hope the staff is being taken care of if people forget their cash!

We finished with the Chocolate Cheesecake, and I would highly recommend it if you love chocolate deserts; very rich. Outdoor seating was quite nice here, and the interior decoration was very beautiful, but the exterior seating had duct tape, and some of the tables looked a bit word down and weathered. The seating looks were all over the place too, with some wood tables, some glass, some metal, didn't really bring together a cohesive decor choice. Overall great restaurant that we will be sure to come back to for a nice brunch in the future.
