    Onion Mum
    Carley S.

    Good but overpriced. We've been here twice and both times are shocked by the final bill. Maybe I am biased because my husband is Coast Guard so we can get seafood for MUCH cheaper. The food is good. The service is good. I do feel like they should be able to afford walls in the bathrooms considering how much they charge for the meals! We enjoyed our entrees thoroughly. The salad was very wet and tasted strongly of tomato. The appetizers were bland. We got the fried onion petal and the black bean dip.

    Frogmore Stew

    First time ever going to this restaurant because of reviews, and family word of mouth about how good it was. I ordered the Frogmore Stew, I should have prepared myself and brought my Lawry's seasoning with me. I had high hopes for the food and was HIGHLY disappointed. I have never had over cooked shrimp in my life until now. I would rather eat a leather shoe, or overly well done steak. The shrimp tasted like it was already cooked cocktail shrimp thrown into a broil bag and cooked with the rest of the food. (potatoes, sausage and corn) Plus the portion vs the price, do not recommend. Will not be returning.

    Rae's Coastal Cafe was hiding from me this whole time. I don't know when it was established but it appears to be a seasoned restaurant providing food service within the Forest Hill Racquet club apartments community and CSRA. We sat outside on a cool Saturday evening. They were not too busy. Alright the food hmm some hits some miss. My friend thought the ribs could use more flavor but was tender and went well with the barbecue sauce. The shrimp had too much breading but tasty. The default side of rice and beans was average. The onion blum was the highlight. Really liked the sherry wine sauce. The mahi mahi fish was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Just too small for the price. I do want to visit again cause I like the feel of the restaurant and would like to try other items on the menu.

    Key Lime Pie Martini

    I was disappointed after my last visit. The espresso martini was a slightly yellow tinted sweet drink which I was not a fan of. Honestly I'm not even sure they can be sold as an espresso martini. It may have had coffee flavoring but clearly has zero amounts of coffee in it. The "shrimp pâté" was just three heaping tablespoons of cream cheese with the shrimp portion being pretty non-existent. My key lime pie martini was served in this sad little glass and they have shower curtain stalls in their bathrooms which I never minded until someone jerked one wide open while I was using the bathroom so now I have trust issues Lastly, they were out of coconut shrimp which is what I came for so all around the visit was pretty disappointing. I will give them a try again in another 6-12 months once I've forgotten this experience

    Pretty good food. Food portion is huge. House salad is very yummy. Jerk chicken is made with special flavor and is a must try.

    Jerk Chicken Wings make for a happy lunch. If the weathers nice, it's nice to sit out back next to the creek.

The ambiance is nice. The menu offers several types of oysters, as well as about ten small plates and ten large plates. We split a frito misto, which included calamari, okra and Cod. It was delicious. For my entree I had the prawns and grits. Although tasty it was a bit of work to get the shells off. My husband had the soft shell crab and loved it. We were too full for dessert but maybe next time.

We split a half dozen oysters to start and they were perfect. We chose to enjoy 3 of two types of the oysters from their selection. I could've easily had many more. We made the decision to split three of the dishes off the snacks at the top of their menu, which was plenty enough for two of us to share along with the oysters. We had the chicken thighs which were juicy and full of flavor. The brussels sprouts with the goat cheese and balsamic glaze was a combination of flavors and texture that were absolutely beautiful. I finished the evening with an adorable birthday dessert, which was a candy bar like dish with Nutella ice cream. The sparkler candle was so cute. We cannot wait to come back to enjoy more oysters, great food, and amazing service. A huge shout out to Nick for helping us make this evening amazing.

    We were put onto this place through a couple friends and we haven't stopped talking about it since…read more Natta and Angie were so incredibly welcoming and sweet. If you've never been there, they will start you out with samples of all of their lemonade (which all of them are incredibly flavorful) and you'll inevitably get one because it's THAT good. The staff comes with recommendations to help you navigate the menu and they are so attentive and helpful. I'd go as far to say that they had some of the best service in Augusta. Now to the food, 10/10 I could not recommend them enough. I've had the honey lemon pepper wings and the loyalty platter. And it was so good. The honey lemon pepper wings were full of deep flavor and they give you at-least 10 wings with the plate. The steak and shrimp are the best seasoned meats I've ever had at a restaurant. I've also had a few nibbles of their seafood and ‍. Then when you're ready for dessert, don't worry you get samples too. The blue velvet is my favorite but all of them are award winning so you can't go wrong when it comes to Nattas sweet treats. Over all, great experience, great people, and great place. Get out and support local, it'll never disappoint. P.S. if you think it's pricey, you're wrong. You get what you pay for here. You get no less than two meals out of one plate.

    Every Queen needs a King and you can seduce your palete at Kitchen Kings x Natta's Sweet Bakery…read more After hearing amazing things about Kitchen Kings food and their favorable turn out at the Foodie Event, I stopped in and had a Surf N Turf Platter - Honors Platter with perfectly seasoned grilled Salmon & Shrimp over Dirty Rice with Mac N Cheese & Green Beans. The portion sizes are generous and very tasty. I made a Southern Palmer with their Peach Tea and Unsweetened Ice Tea 1/2 & 1/2 of both mixed together, was the perfect beverage to pair with the Honor Platter. I finished the honorable meal with The Strawberry Velvet Cake Brownie & Red Velvet Brownie dessert pairing. The service from when I stepped in, while eating and leaving was exceptional, inviting and very pleasant. Shurell was fabulous, vibrant and a fresh of breath air. I highly recommend Kitchen Kings x Natta's Sweet Bakery to discover Augusta's Hidden Gem off Gordon Hwy. The Ambiance was the perfect R&B Vibe for a casual, sexy Saturday. The music Playlist was the perfect R&B garnish to the entire dining experience. I will be back for their Low Country Boil & the wonderful Strawberry Velvet Cake. Kings Kitchen x Natta's Sweet Bakery will not disappoint you. In fact, it will make ypur day better. Please honor my review and take a taste for yourself today and dine like a King or Queen mixed with sweetness from the Bakery.

    Have now been twice and feel I can leave an unbiased, unpaid review…read more I went during lunch with a family member and loved the vibe. We were immediately seated at the bar, provided menus, drink suggestions- really just made to feel welcomed. Low lights, nice volume on the music, amazing drinks- we was vibinnngggg. Food came out HOT, HEAVY and DELICIOUS. OMG! The pasta was so. dang. good. The drinks were strong and made correctly. I bragged on this place for and couldn't wait to come back... this was four years ago (I lived in Nashville at the time). Fast Forward - 2025. My wife and I wanted to get out of the house last Monday evening and opted for OAK. We arrived at about 1030pm. There were enough cars in the parking lot to let me know there was about 20 people inside. My kinda vibe tbh. Walk in to see two hostesses seated to the left. Not really welcoming, but not stand offish either. $10 cover charge... on a Monday? Ok. Stood at the first bar to the right for about ten minutes with a guy doing nothing. Didn't greet or ask us to wait or anything. Ok. Roamed over the other bar where about four hosts/servers were standing around on phones and several more sitting in the booths you had to reserve- ordered two long islands. We had to wait several minutes for the initial bartender to find someone who knew how to make the drinks. We finally got the drinks and it tasted more like a mango margarita??? The music was jumpin- relevant, good volume. Overall an ok experience. Expectations were high after my previous visit. Lack of enthusiasm, bar/drink knowledge and seating cost OAK 2/5 stars. Seeing staff not have the same passion for it always shows in the customer experience. Who am I: I am a customer experience strategist and consultant who anonymously visits local businesses in hopes of bringing pride and passion back into the CSRA's local businesses.
