We ordered the special - a fried eggplant on a bed of rice with some mustard greens - topped with onions and peppers and Andouille sausage, and a cream sauce - DELICIOUS. The other dish was a Catfish Louisianne. Also delicious. The service was excellent and the hostess, in particular, was a huge help. The funny thing is - you would never guess this place was an "Irish Pub" if you hadn't read it on the door. But don't let that stop you. This is a good spot. read more

Sheehan's Irish Pub - We went her for St Patrick's day and had a wonderful meal. What we enjoyed the most was the Scottish Eggs. - Irish Pub Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

My experience is based off a Thursday evening for two. The hostess greeted us and told us there was a table available but it was reserved for a party in two hours. I thought that was more than enough time, but the service was unbelievably swamped so our meal really did take up all that time. Like so many folks have said, this isn't an Irish pub. I was very disappointed immediately, but I didn't want to walk out without trying it. Still, it's like going to a sushi restaurant with that only served tempura. Got the Scottish egg (an egg covered with ground meat) and scallops. Both tasted great and I thought there would be some promise for the main meal. I had the catfish and it was very average. No seasoning went into it, I think they tried to mask the bland with the butter grits and crayfish on top. read more

Overall, great restaurant. We'll definitely be back. Food was more Cajun than Irish, but that was okay with me. We shared one app, one soup, one entree and one dessert. We had five beers and one martini. Bill was $78--moderately priced. This is a place we will definitely return to. Place was packed on a Wednesday night, so you know it had to be good. We sat at the bar. Our bartender was very nice, but her coworker needs another job--complained the entire time about everything! The place had a nice atmosphere. The menu had great options. We shared a shrimp and grit cake app, which was great! We also had a cup of shrimp bisque, which was a special that night. We thought it was bland, buy would've been good with a little more seasoning. Next, we ordered the catfish louisianne. It was a blackened catfish covered with a crawfish tail sauce, on cheese grits. It was also very good. For dessert, we had the whiskey cake. It was a whiskey pound cake with whipped cream, strawberries, and I asked for a ball of ice cream. I think it needs sweet whiskey based sauce and the whipped cream needed a little sweetness to it. I don't think I'll be ordering it again. read more

I was about to give up on Georgia until I walked into Sheehan's. A real gem! I'd you are lucky enough to go on a night when Anna or Ezekiel the Amish bartender are working, you'll be sold on Augusta. Especially if Anna is strumming Irish tunes on her mandolin! If you go for dinner, eat burnt ends under the Irish tree of wisdom--Ask Ezekiel to recount the crazy history of it! read more

This place was so good I came back twice in a row. Best Rueben sandwich I've ever had. Great atmosphere and excellent food/drinks. I wish I had found it earlier while on my work trip. If I'm ever passing through, I will definitely return. read more

This is my specialty go to for fine dinning. I just love the atmosphere and the staff. The place is small but fanciful. The waitress is knowledgeable in regards to wine, beer, and the dinning menu. Everything is always fresh and flavorful. I recommend you call for reservations but drop-ins are welcome, with the availability of tables. Forks and knives up to the Chef, management, and staff for constancy. read more

Sheehan's Irish Pub - Crawfish cake . Absolutely amazing! ! - Irish Pub Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

I always love exploring new restaurants. I have a simple standard.. Do they put love into the food? Is it better than I can cook at home? Is the service provided with a great attitude? What is the ambiance? We tried it for the first time and it was disappointing. This neighborhood bar/restaurant was recommended by several people, however, falls far short of other eateries in this area of Augusta. We had the corned beef spring rolls-greasy.. could even taste any corned beef ( at an Irish Pub!!?) the shrimp bisque had a fair flavor, was thick but there was meat in there that was a mystery to me.. THe duck was undercooked, tough as leather and lacked the flavor one expects from a succulent duck, properly cooked. My wife had the filet with shrimp.. for $40 it was tough as leather and flavorless... My dog, not a connoisseur of fine meats was the benefactor of half the meal!. My string beans, sauteed, and flavorless were serve cold. Our waitress thankfully was great. She deserves to serve better to her patrons. I have to say, again: A restaurant needs to put LOVE into the cooking and start with great meats and vegetables. It's about the chef and the menu. Sorry Sheehan's it's the truth. read more

Ate here tonight. The service was great and the food was pretty good but the prices were way out of line. Two of us ordered the special fall salad which was supposed to have candied pistachios on it. They must have been ground up because neither of us saw or tasted them. For $12.00 we expected a plate of salad. What we got was about a cup of greens, 2 thin orange slices and 2 pieces of pickled peaches. We both added scallops as a protein. For $16.00 we got 4 medium sized scallops. For $26.00 I expected more than this. The other person we were with ordered burnt pork ends and a salad. Hers was also good but she also needed to order dessert because she was also still hungry even though hers was considerably bigger than ours.I realize they were "small" plates but this was ridiculous. I don't mind the prices if you get what you pay for but a cup of salad was crazy! read more

Scotch eggs, shrimp and grits cake, and probably everything is delicious. The menu has something for the finicky eater husband. We were lucky to try his venison chili during the winter and it was so delicious we ordered two to go for the next day. Another special if I remember correctly was a crab cake with a beautiful display of vegetables. We had split the appetizer and I decided to order the dinner portion because it was so delicious. We are a big fan and only wish they were on opentable so I can check to make a reservation early on a Saturday morning to see if we can make plans for that evening. Otherwise, I have to wait till about 3pm and we are 35 miles from town. So, if there are no reservations available, I'm all dressed up with no where to go. Guaranteed delicious restaurants like Sheehan's and Frog Hollow require reservations in Augusta. read more

i would not recommend this place. the owner is a karen. she was at the front door with it open talking to a friend and it was cold outside. I said sweetheart would you close the door. I went back to my seat and she got up in my face telling me that she owned the seat I was siting at etc...later two men came in and did not get serviced in a time matter and said that they were leaving. I told her and she kicked me out and told me to never come back. No worries, I will not. read more

Last year, I had a few business trips to Augusta, and never having been there, I asked around, and found someone that had. He gave me a list of where to eat, and Sheehan's was at the top, so we went there our first night in town. We were so impressed, we tried going back again later in the week for lunch, but we were sad to see them closed. On our second trip back, we made a point of going back, and loved it just as much the second time around. Walking up to the place the first time, it looks like your run of the mill corner bar, but as soon as we saw the menu, we thought it was a joke. The food that we ate could have easily cost three times as much. I had the shrimp bisque (the absolute BEST I have ever had), as well as the shrimp and grits cake. My partners tried the mussels, and the catfish, and both were just as impressed. read more

Sheehan's Irish Pub - Best duck I have been able to find in Augusta! - Irish Pub Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Attended A birthday dinner here with a large group of girls. We sat outside, so I can't really comment on the atmosphere inside. We were under a large tent, and it was nice to be outside as the weather was perfect. We had two waitresses helping our party of about 15 people. They did a great job of keeping the checks separate without having to be asked, but occasionally were a bit slow on drinks. They knew the specials, and were able to answer all my questions about each dish. I decided to go with the bone in pork chop, which came with grits and collard greens. The pork chop was very good and not overdone. Portion sizes and taste of sides were perfection. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals, lots of soups and salads! I'm looking forward too going back with a smaller party to get the full Sheenhan's experience, but it's great to know they can handle a crowd. read more

Why is this place still allowed to call itself an Irish Pub? Overall: Location- Good. Food- pretty good, but definitely Southern. More on this later. Service- Mediocre. After living in Savannah for several years (and being engaged to an Irishman), I am quite familiar with what an Irish pub is supposed to be like. For one, it should have Irish food. Fish and chips and shepard's pie, at bare minimum. This place has neither. It literally does not have a single Irish item on the menu. Which brings me back to my original question.....why is this place allowed to call itself an Irish pub? The food is actually very good, but the menu features teriyaki Salmon, gnocchi, grits, etc. We spoke to the manager, and according to her the owner is married to an Irish woman so he calls his restaurant an Irish pub. "Irish heart, Southern food" were her exact words, before adding that "Hey, we have Guinness on tap." Once we were seated, service was decent but we waited an hour for seats (after making reservations). In hindsight, we should've checked out the menu instead of getting a couple of beers during our wait. Once it came time to seat us, they tried to sit us at a hightop table that another couple was currently at (it was strange) but we were insistent that we would like a real table. At that point, they took us to the back where there were literally about 6 empty tables. I understand they probably didn't have the waitstaff to sit everyone at those tables, but it was a little frustrating to know we had been waiting at the bar for over an hour when there were plenty of tables available in the back. We may give this place another try eventually, but at the moment nothing about our prior experience makes me want to return. read more

This place was GREAT. I have been here about a year now and I drove past it countless times and I don't think I even realized what I was missing. It's not a pub in the way I think of a pub, it's actually more like a nice restaurant. But, it does have a nice bar, with a number of options for beers on tap, so no issues there. It was, overall, a really nice dinner. The decor: A Service: A Price: B--a bit pricey, but worth it Food: A--probably one of the top 3-4 restaurants in Augusta. The stilton cheese grits are great. The filet was exceptional, and the spicy shrimp were really tasty. The mussels were delicious, and the bread was piping hot. I don't think I need to go on. This place is amazing. Go here!! read more

One of the best restaurants we have in Augusta, hands down. I've tried them all. And for people who have said the Irish food is no good, I happen to know and Irishman. He comes here for the Masters every year, and he eats her every year. He told me that is as good as any place at home. read more

Five stars. Clearly my kinda place. Advice to the fellas in here though: your visors, golf polos and baseball caps aren't impressing me. Psssssshhhhh. Great shrimp bisque. :licks lips: The Manhattan is good too; thanks I'll have another. To my fellow patrons: when someone is in the bathroom with the door LOCKED.....for the sake of JESUS TITTY FUCKING CHRIST, stop rattling the door knob. I'll go slower JUST because of it. Great place. read more

I loved this place. It's a divey yet an upscale restaurant all in one. It has a great feel to it. It has a great food. And it has a great bar. The last time I was there I got the Sriracha Shrimp for an appetizer which was fantastic and grilled salmon for my entree, which was even better. The salmon was still me of the best salmon I have ever had and the mash potatoes, which really how I judge my food, were excellent. The bar had a great selection of beers, wines and spirits. Overall, we had a great experience there and are looking forward to making our way back some time soon! read more

We called at 8:15 on a Friday night to see how long the wait was and were told we could be seated by 8:30. We got there at 8:30 and although it was crowded, the hostess was true to her word. The place looks small but they have additional indoor seating upstairs where it's quieter than the entrance/bar area. I had a Sweetwater and I'm pretty light weight, also this was more than three months ago, so I don't remember exactly what the appetizer we got was, but I think meat and a fried egg were involved. Mark my words, it was delicious. For my entree I had the seafood pasta. Happiness in every bite. That is all I have to say. This is a much classier place than the category "pub" generally insinuates. For an average date night with drinks, an appetizer, and entrees the bill was about $60, so it's a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it. read more

I'm from Boston and when I hear "Irish Pub".. I take that literally. This however is not the typical dive pub that I was expecting. This is a hidden gem right in Augusta that has a friendly staff with amazing food! My cousins ordered the shrimp and grits appetizer (which was good enough for a small meal)- it was a block of fried grits, shrimp, in a tasty tomato sauce and I highly recommend it! I ordered the fried green tomato salad and they were accomodating by adding a couple of scallops (an extra 4 bucks). The scallops were on the smaller side but they were delish! I wish this place had two things: more dessert options and a drink menu! I ordered the hello dolly which was a martini glass dessert that had some type of bar, vanilla ice cream, and strawberries. Even though it hit the sweet tooth spot.. I wanted more than just two dessert options. Bottom line.. I would come again! read more

Came here after one of the Master's practice rounds. Overall the food was very good. As far as the name of the restaurant goes, don't expect this to be a typical Irish Pub. Rather than serving up Irish pub classics, Sheehan's takes a more Southern approach to their menu. Also be prepared that it may be pricier than you expect. Entrees run in the $25-$35 range. I ordered the honey lacquered duck, with stilton cheese grits and fried green beans. The meal was delicious and I paired with with something more traditionally Irish, Guinness. One member of our party ordered a seared tuna that looked like it was perfectly cooked and he enjoyed it very much. Two members of our group ordered the Catfish Louisianne which came highly recommended by the waitress. They did not seem disappointed with the catfish dish at all. Next time I am in Augusta, I would put this on the top of the list for places to eat at again. read more

Disclaimer: I may have hyped this place up a bit much seeing as I've been trying to get here since I moved to Augusta three years ago. That being said, the entire experience wasn't awful, but it wasn't great either. The drink I got, Jessie's girl, sounded like it should have been right up my alley, but tasted a bit like it was the first time anyone had mixed those flavors together. Wasn't enough for me to send it back or complain, just wouldn't order it again, that's all. Tried the scotch eggs which were a special and really enjoyed those, the fries and the honey mustard that was served with the two. I also ordered the rosemary mussels appetizer as my entree and really wasn't impressed. The flavor was overpowering and took away from the mussels themselves and the bread seemed.... days old? Which is odd. I think I've had better bread from Kroger. Most places in the local area do a great job with the toast points, rolls, etc. that they serve with the mussels but I would not order these again either. I want to give this place another try, just won't be in any rush to do so. read more

This find offers a very nice dining experience in Augusta. While waiting for my meal, I enjoyed some wonderfully fresh rolls with butter. The service was excellent. For an opener, the Shrimp & Grit Cake was remarkable. With a crunchy crust, the grits were firm but moist inside, the addition of the corn & red bell pepper was just right. The stars of the plate were the smoky andouille sausage and the perfectly cooked shrimp in a sweet sauce with just the right kick! This is highly recommended! My entree was the Ahi Tuna; pan-seared with a little crunch on top top. This was served with an aioli and Asian vegetables. (snow peas, carrots, light sauce) I enjoyed the tuna, though it was not as rare as I had hope. This is a restaurant worth recommending to your friends. read more

I was pretty surprised by Sheean's. It calls itself an Irish pub...I've never been to Ireland, but are pubs supposed to be this nice? I treated myself to a "welcome to Augusta, Timber" dinner here, but I probably won't be going back very often since it was a little pricey. My companions and I sat on the closed-in-yet-still-kind-of-outdoorsy patio. There is also true outdoor seating just beyond the patio, and on the lower level, there is the indoor portion of the restaurant that seemed to be really loud as we stood there waiting for a table. For my appetizer, I got scallops (3 in the dish) and gnocchi served with spinach and a seemingly tomato-based sauce. I thought it was a large appetizer, so large, in fact, that I had to take the majority of my delicious entree home for lunch the next day. I had the ahi tuna steak served over sauteed snowpeas, carrots, and red peppers. It was divine! read more

I ordered the Salmon. It was amazing. Dark, secluded atmosphere inside. Perfect for a romantic date night or an app at the bar.

Was looking for a good spot to eat at different from the chain restaurants. Found this place on Yelp/Trip Advisor with good reviews so decided to give it a shot. Didn't need reservations to get a table. They have both outdoor and indoor w/bar areas to eat. The atmosphere was good. Service was excellent, but they forgot our bread (had to ask for it). I ordered the sirloin steak (30.00) and a couple of drinks. Ordered the steak medium but was more well done. Overall, different from other spots in Augusta, but not really impressed. read more

Very good overall! We ordered the sweet chile shrimp, the surf & turf and the tuna. Everything was great, my steak a little overcooked but nothing to complain about. We will return. read more

Best meal we've had in Augusta! Fabulous! Great service, atmosphere and James beard award worthy meal

I have lived in Augusta for 8 years now and I ate at Sheehans for the first time the other night. I must say I was very pleased with my experience my wife and I sat outside and it was nice and peaceful!! The waitress was very sweet and helpful!! I loved my food which I would suggest they make a main stay on their menu the scotch egg!! It was amazing I would have eaten 5 of them!!! We will return for this awesome place to eat!! Loved it you guys won a new customer! read more

Reservation for 7:30 seated upon arrival. Waitress provided excellent service start to finish. Food was excellent fair prices for quality -upscale clientele and atmosphere. Nice relaxing dinner very good server -great for special occasions or a girls night out. Menu is limited but have good selection of specials nightly also - seafood seems to be a big staple so if you are land lubber be prepared! Not lots of options. Overall great dining but it's not for the cheap skates! read more

Heads up, you will need reservations to get a table. I was able to sit at the bar, which has full menu service, and enjoy a dark and stormy cocktail. There is nothing at all that is Irish about this pub, but I think that adds a charming quirkiness to the restaurant. The service at the bar was great. read more

Awesome setting but portions amd taste lacked. Add to that the fact that price were 50% higher than normal and i wouldn't try it again

Finally, I made it here! This place was outstanding. Every time I thought of going here, it was on one of their closed days. But then, it was a fine Wednesday and I found myself at their bar. The space is small and intimate, and really nice. The courses I had were all good; I just wish my belly had more room, as the Scotch egg special sounded super yummy. Definitely looking forward to a future visit. read more

Changed hands and not for better. Duck was dry and over cooked, grits lumpy and no taste of Stilton, even the Guinness was flat. Stay away!

Best restaurant in town! Perfect for any occasion and Beck's has the best food, staff, and atmosphere! Cannot get enough
