Charleston Shrimp and Grits (minus a couple bites)
Joshua H.

Maya is an excellent server. Extremely friendly and attentive. The food was awesome. So many flavors in that shrimp and grits I forgot I was eating grits. The building is a very comforting brown with some green highlights. I need to come here more often.

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.

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!

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!

Dirty booth
Lisa M.

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.

Hadn't been to California Dreaming in a bit so met friends for drinks tonight. Bustling during rush…read morehour on a weekday (Tuesday), I was glad I made a reservation. The restaurant is aging gracefully; interiors haven't changed in some time. Servers were fast and friendly. The food is a known quantity; always good hot and tasty. I just reminded myself to go more often.

After an initial terrible start, California Dreaming has had a heck of a hot streak for me. That…read morestreak ended today. I ordered the Cali Bowl - Miso Salmon (added blackened shrimp) and fries WITH NO SALT as an APPETIZER! My buddy orders wings and a salad. His salad comes out promptly but no fries. The food comes out shortly after and he says the wings are great. Great for him! My fries finally make an appearance and are overly salty. I reminded the waitress they were requested unsalted so she took them back. By the time she'd returned with the new batch of fries, which was quite prompt, I'd mixed the ingredients of my Cali Bowl only to discover that it was lukewarm at best. The fries tasted refried, soaked with grease. The third time was a charm for the fries. I'd mentioned temperature of the bowl and although she'd offer to have it remade, it was quicker to reheat it, thus my request. It came back slightly warmer but not enough to eat. At this point, I was over it and just packed it up to take home. It wasn't the best visit but it definitely wasn't the worst. The croissants are the reason I'm sure I'll be back.

I'm going to try to separate my 'tastes' from the dishes as presented. My wife's Bolognese was absolutely delicious and very well seasoned, and the cheesecake was fantastic. My wife thought it had too much crumble; I consider that a feature and would absolutely get that again. The salads were dandelion greens and they were far more bitter than I like, and a generous dose of dressing, something acidic would cover it, or something sweet. The bites I had with tomato were good. But I couldn't really finish it. The big problem was spaghetti with Sunday gravy. It was a huge disappointment. The pasta itself was excellent and the meatballs were okay, but the sauce was surprisingly bland and under-seasoned, especially for a $30+ entrée. It tasted more like plain tomato sauce than the rich, deeply flavored hardy sunday gravy that fully of meaty and salty flavors I was expecting. I do NOT salt my dishes at the table because I season them thru the cook. I wish there were salt and pepper at the table tonight though. The Sunday Gravy tasted decidedly like pure puréed tomato with a few meatballs added after the fact. They were dry and clearly not cooked with the sauce. I wish they had been. There are definitely things here I'd happily order again. Others I want to try. I'd just skip the spaghetti, especially at that price point.

Another overall outstanding experience at this resturant. Excellent seafood specials that are…read moreunique for an inland location. Service is pleasant and efficient. On time but never rushed Veal Parm some of the best in the region. Overall 5 star experience
