Goodness me!!! So glad we decided to give this a try! Only 2 complaints!!! 1) it takes a long time to get your made to order amazing food. 2) I wish there was more!!!! lol not really complaints! Definitely worth the wait! The place is adorable! Hanging plants give it a homey feel, very good use of space, just cute and comfy! Staff was pleasant (the one who greeted us and served us was nice and informative but greeted us while chewing food . Hubs got some wings and home fries, which he really enjoyed! I got the veggie empanadas. OMG!!! I wasn't expecting them to be so good. Again, I just wish there was more of them, including more filling, but I was full so didn't need any more! Lol The puff pastry is light and crispy! The filling, a delicious blend of veggies (not sure what lol). And the sauce that accompanied them was utterly outstanding! They should bottle and sell it!!! I would have bought premade/take home empanadas if I lived closer lol. And I would definitely go back next time we are in Augusta!!! LOVE!!! read more

I have to say the reviews did not lie. The atmosphere was welcoming to our large unexpected party of about 20. Food was great as mentioned by all, we did have a long wait but once it arrived everyone went silent. Everyone ate and enjoyed their food. I went with the steak sandwich and home fries. A few people ordered wings but they had ran out due to the assault we placed on this quaint eatery. My sandwich did make up for the wait though, I must admit because it was seasoned to perfection and just about the right portion although I probably could've ate a few more bites, haha. Overall a good experience, only reason they're not a 5 is the wait. read more

As soon as we entered the establishment, we were amazed at the beautiful ambiance the lighting and plants gave the place a cozy feeling. The food portions seemed a little small at first but the taste made every bite worth it's weight in gold. The mixture of peppers, cheeses, marinated meats and pickled onions made for a wonderful experience. Alcoholic lemonades were tasty but a little strong for my taste. Friendly service by a staff that was constantly checking in on us. This is a great place to eat with family and friends. read more

My son introduced me to this restaurant a few months ago and it has now become one of our go to places for lunch. The Banh Mi turkey sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted. The Chimichurri steak sandwich is outstanding as well. Pair any sandwich with the soup of the day and potato wedges and you will leave with a smile on your face. The service is outstanding as well taking place in a nice, open and casual setting. . I highly recommend this establishment! read more

A surprising and delicious brunch find in Augusta. We stopped in with a big group before a wedding for Saturday brunch and left charmed. Featuring a hip and healthy menu, I went with the light and refreshing greek salad with grilled salmon, making for a great start to power through my day. The pomegranate mimosas, with the perfect prosecco/juice ratio, made for a fun addition. Weirdly, the standout was the sourdough toast, a bite of which I stole from her plate and was probably the best toast I've ever had. Our server was excellent and kind, rounding out our experience. A great option in Augusta. read more

The brunch was excellent! Kimchi grits with shrimp was delicious and savory. My husband got the seasonal French toast and it was perfect. The space was adorable and I loved the hanging plants indoors. read more

Really good and plenty of healthy options, unique flavors. We had the kimchi pimento cheese and the special (6 wings) for starters. My husband loved the garlic Parmesan wings. The scallion pancakes were crispy and delicious with the pimento cheese. Such a cool fusion of a southern traditional food and Asian food. For entrees we split the vegetable lasagna and the sol food burger special, a spicy Philly impossible burger. The burger was messy to eat but tasted amazing. The lasagna was solid, but I would try the cauliflower as a vegetarian option next time. It came with a delicious roll that was crunchy with pesto inside. A bit pricey for Augusta but worth it for a fun date night. read more

If you'd look and think it was a fast casual type of place, I did get my food reasonably fast, but it was quite a splendid interior at this highbrow shopping center near the golf course and definitely an upscale experience. A vegetarian-friendly menu yielded my Cuban Bowl, which delivered all the flavors you'd hope for, with plantains, pickled onions, pineapple, and my personal favorite black beans. Adding tofu yielded some deliciously crisp, freshly fried stuff. Their drink menu was separate and on a stand on the table so I missed it. It is an expensive bowl, so I can only say if you want an expensive bowl with microgreens on top in a hip, upscale setting, this place delivered the fresh flavors and quality I was hoping for. read more

Ambience. A Service. A Food. A Price. A Found in Surrey Center. Next to Calverts! Lots of parking in shopping center. Came for Friday lunch. At 1:00 today. Lots of items ie rice and greens not available with the dishes. So came out and made substitutions. They do have gluten free options. Ironically we came out for out GF friend as he always seems to order salads and another firmed thought he would order something different. Ok, he got the salad with romaine and he put salmon on top. He said it was okay. I loved the smoked turkey sandwich. Lovely tender thick cuts of smoked turkey. Like the kosher pickles. Had The Detoxifier beet juice. Very refreshing. Overall loved out server Whitney. Very accommodating and helpful. I would come back I'm a FaN!!! read more

The food was very fresh and tasted great! I loved the decor. The restaurant was super cute and clean. However, the service took a considerably long time. I was giving the workers grace because they seemed a little short staff, but then our server just became a bit moody and rude. I am not sure what happened but by the time our checks came out, she seemed like she really didn't want to be there or serve us. This was my first time coming and I am very sad this was my first impression of the business. read more

Why in the world have I waited so long for vegan brunch?! Y'all don't sleep on this like I did. I've only had a couple of things, but that's enough to make me want to come every Saturday. It's not 'fast food', so don't be in a hurry. It's worth the wait and the atmosphere is super chill. I love all the plants and stained glass. read more

Great discovery traveling on way back to Atlanta from the SC beach. Worth the trip into August and do stop by this restaurant, a healthy choice from all of the fast food places along the way while traveling I-20. This may become our go-to pit stop on the semi-annual trip thru Augusta to the coast. Hostess and owner were fabulous giving us a history of the restaurant and describing the food. The vibe was right for a nice, quiet meal for the journeyer. read more

This is a mixed review for us so I'm going to break it down into areas. The Restaurant - 5 This place catches your eye as soon as you walk in. It's clean, warm, organized well, and decorated wonderfully. It is very impressive. A nice place to relax with friends. The Wait Staff - 5 We were greeted and seated promptly. We had Shelly. She was a delight and top notch. She checked on us and helped us make our decisions on what to order. The Service - 3 There was one other group in this place when we went but it seemed to take forever to get our food. If you plan on dining here plan accordingly, give yourself plenty of time for the dining experience. The menu - based on preferences. Limited and unique. A lot of vegan and vegetarian options. The taste of food - 4 The food tasted good but nothing exceptional for us. The shepherd's pie had ground lamb. The Apple Crisp was a little chewy. Value of Food - 3 I ordered 3 items and my bill was $44 before tax and tip. Although the food tasted fine, the portion sizes were a little on the small size. This may be due to the level of ingredients used in the dishes or vegan meals are just more expensive. This restaurant was not our cup of tea but I do think someone who is after vegan/vegetarian meals may love it. It was a super cute place. read more

Being an Augusta native who no longer lives here but visits frequently.. I got excited when I found this place. A restaurant marketed as vegan in the heart of the south? No way, I thought.. My friends and I decided we would get a few things and share it amongst the table. A bottle of sake, a few different sake drinks all of which were excellent and complimented the food well. For food we got the plantain tacos, kimchi pimento cheese, salmon sliders, spicy edamame, the big dill & the empanadas. Everything was flavorful and very good, but there was about a 25 minute delay from getting our edamame, tacos & pimento cheese to the rest of the order... including a lack of service from our server - who doubled up as the bartender. The $$ is also pretty steep, but maybe worth it for an occasional kind of thing ($15-20 a plate)- fits in with the rest of Surrey Center. Highlight was the chef/owner coming out and asking how everything was and apologizing for the delay/being short staffed. Brownie points for that. Gorgeous interior & very welcoming. Will return, just maybe sit at the bar or go when you don't have any other plans for the evening :) read more

I stopped in to try their Happy Hour and left having a new go to spot in Surrey Center and Augusta. Solfood feels like you transported into a little world of it's on filled with colorful paintings, plants plants and more plants, and kind friendly people. I sat at the bar and had the best bartender who answered all of my questions and gave suggestions on what to order. We got their boozy smoothie, which I was nervous about at first, I'm normally not a frozen drink girl, unless I'm in the sun (I'm not a monster), but dang, this one changed my mind. It was the perfect balance of booze, strawberry and banana. The bartender referred to it as an adult gogurt and that is spot on. The edamame, THE EDAMAME! It was so freaking good! Spicy while also hella flavorful and the perfect bar snack. I'm already daydreaming of my next trip to get more and they provide you with the cutest homemade hand sanitizer to clean up with after. I'm obsessed. read more

We were passing through from my daughters's graduation in Fort Jackson. We wanted something light during the drive. Although we are not vegan, we wanted to try it. The food was good yet different. Host of flavors in your mouth. I got the Mediterranean bowl. It was great minus the sauce. My kids and hubby got the smoked wings. They gave them 3.5. My daughter got the turkey wrap but wasn't a fan. I would definitely try it again. It takes a minute for your food to come but our waitress was very sweet. The place is cute and inviting. read more

Everything about this place was absolutely inviting. The entrance patio is so cute and private, and makes you feel like you are having dinner in a romantic garden! Service was friendly, and the food was better than what I had imagined for it being my first time here! First of all, do not pass the opportunity to try their empanada. It was the fluffiest, most gourmet version of an empanada I've ever had lol. I ordered the salmon for dinner, with a mustard cream sauce along with a bed of vegetables that wonderfully come together and left me more than satisfied with portion size. Solfood Kitchen knows what they're doing, and I am so glad I tried this place.!! Also, they have weekly specials that I need to come back for! read more

Who eats healthy on their midweek date night? Apparently I do. Wednesday's had become a little routine (we all have those favorite spots as our go-to's) and I wanted to mix it up a little. I had been here for a party (be sure to check out their outdoor patio in the back!), but not for a normal meal. So there we were, soaking in the warm ambiance and looking over the drink menu and trying to decide what to order. I went for some kimchi pimento cheese to get me started and the vegetable lasagna for the main course. My concern wasn't flavor (Yelp reviews assured me I would love the taste of everything), but quantity. Though my appetite is not what it once was in my younger days, I can still throw down some food. But my concerns were soon alleviated. I'll just say this, I didn't have room for dessert. And I always have room for dessert. Every bite demanded my full attention; from presentation to flavor notes to texture both plates were a work of art. Add to that one of the friendlist wait staff I have ever had and I left there knowing exactly why people rave about SolFood. Make a visit and you will as well. read more

23 Local Restaurants in 2023! Saturday I went to The SolFood Kitchen in Augusta, GA at the Surrey Center. This was #1 of 23 and it was a great way to kick this off! So Here's the Review: Location: great, parking was okay. It was Saturday at 12 and I only had to circle the parking lot like 2x. And if you know the Surrey Center, they have tons of restaurants and shops so I was glad Staff: Latasha and I were greeted and asked where we wanted to sit. The hostess was kind and helpful. When we made the choice to sit at the bar the bartender came over immediately. He was super nice and knew the menu to help me decide what to eat. Atmosphere: If you know me, you know I love jazz music, and I even love it more if it is live! So I was shocked to see a live band playing there when we first walked in. I should have gotten the name of the band So this spot is a must return for me! The bartender said that they have live music every Thursday, so I will definitely have to revisit this place. The decor was simple and the plants and lights on the ceiling where a great touch. Food: I honestly was not sure what I was going to get, but I decided on The Big Dill, and let's just say it was a big deal. I did not finish the sandwich, but I did get a to go box and finished as soon as I got home. I ordered a side salad, but the sandwich was the main attraction. There were tons of gluten-free options too! Overall: This restaurant had a great inviting atmosphere, and the food was memorable. The combination, including the live music, makes this a place I can see myself visiting often. Shout out to LaTasha for coming with me. One of the most hard-working people I've ever met with such a giving heart. We always have great conversations, so I am so glad that we got the chance to talk, and eat! One down and 22 more to go. Who knows what's next. @thesolfoodkitchen #Augusta #AugustaGeorgia #ShopLocal #LocalRestaurants #SmallBusiness #Review #RestaurantReview #CSRA #surreycenter thesolfoodkitchen #yelp read more

Visiting from out of town. I looked up a place that had vegan options and SolFood Kitchen popped up with a decent rating. We were excited to try it out. When we entered the bldg an older woman was letting water out of the plants. She acknowledged us and stated someone would be with us in a moment. After waiting a few minutes, a young lady came up and stated they were closed. Looking at us as if we were out of place, she advised " We always do lunch from 11 - 2:30 pm". I made her aware we are from out of town and wasn't aware of what they always do. Online it states they are open 11 am - 9 pm. We were extremely excited about eating here, and my suggestion would be to update their hours of operation to include "what they always do". read more

This place is brand new and just a fresh breath of air! It's mostly vegetarian type dishes, but super fresh and flavorful! They do have a couple poultry dishes. They have a separate lunch and dinner menu. I was getting my hair done at Michelle James and the manager let me put in an order and brought it to me in the salon. Just wonderful! I highly recommend their garlic chili edamame. I also got their empanadas and the pumpkin bread pudding. The pumpkin bread pudding needs to be shared! It's a solid pound! read more

I ordered the Cuban bowl with BBQ jackfruit. I've never tried jackfruit before and it's similar in texture to pulled pork but slightly softer in texture. The bowl was good though I wish I had ordered a side of the soup of the day, a tomato basil bisque today. The restaurant is lovely on the inside but I chose to eat outside as the weather was nice. They have several tables that are shaded from the sun which is also nice to have here in Georgia. Service was good and I'd definitely come back again. read more

This is one of Augusta's newest restaurants. They've been open a couple of months and It's truly one of my weekly lunch spots. It's in a nice corner spot located in the Upper level of Surrey Center next door to the Pharmacy. They have indoor and a few seats for those that want outside. The food and Customer service is awesome! There's a lunch and dinner menu so be sure to check out their website or Facebook page to view. read more

My bestie had such a great experience and was recommending it to everyone so I had to try it out. Got several diffent things to try out and was not disappointed. Tried two specials the wings and burger....both had good flavors. The burger is actually an impossible burger and it sounded like they change up the flavor of the burger weekly. Also go some regular menu items including plantain taco and these were amazing and probably the highlight of the meal. The sweetness of the plantains mixed with the black beans and avocados was perfection. Also really enjoyed the salmon Sliders. There were 3 to an order the buns nicely toasted and the aiole tied everything together. Next time I plan to try the empanadas and a margarita. read more

Always a great place to eat! I love the red beans and rice. I found our last night, they only serve it on the fall menu . Red Beans & Rice Non-Vegan served over jasmine rice (smoked chicken & chicken andouille sausage)! Try it in the fall. I tried the tater tots and wings instead. I forgot to take a picture of the wings ( so good they were steaming hot) the tots are good. The frozen Sangria was perfect! Stop by the Kitchen soon! read more

Okay...so I'm a meat person...like Korean BBQ, ribs, steaks, burgers - kinda gal. So when asked if I wanted to try this place with lots of vegetarian options, I was like...meh, but I'll go since it's where you wanna go. I am SO happy I did! Whoever said healthy food couldn't taste good, did not come to this place! Plantain tacos...no meat? They are the best!! Grilled and nicely caramelized with black beans...I never cared for either before and now I'm addicted to these tacos! Craving them! Salmon sliders were awesome too. Everything I've tried is nutritious and fresh. Bonus is they have frozen sangria. I love finding places that change my outlook on food and make me appreciate things I thumbed my nose at previously. Owner and staff are super friendly. Warning: this summer I will be hanging out here a lot on the porch or front with my dog, eating tacos, and enjoying sangrias. read more

This place is ok, good. Lots of healthy options but not much selection on the menu. Service was extremely slow. We waited forever for our food and also when we needed our checks the waiter ended up forgetting about them. I got the shepherds pie with lamb and it was very filling. I wish the waiter warned me that the pot was hot because I grabbed it by the handle to move it closer to me and now I have a blister on my finger. I would like to see more meal options on this menu in the future. This place's decoration was very nice read more

In a town awash with chain restaurants and Mexican places (nothing wrong with Mexican food but variety is the spice of life), it is nice that we have Solfood Kitchen. I had previously gone to this charming place for lunch but joined my book club here for dinner on a Wednesday night. When I first heard about Sol I had my doubts as restaurants that lean vegetarian/vegan are not my fave but the vibrant flavors and interesting menu choices made me a believer. We went early (5:30) and there were only a few other tables filled but people kept coming and it got busy which gives me hope they will stay around for a minute. We ordered a few appetizers to share; the teriyaki wings, plantain empanadas and the roasted edamame. One of our members also ordered a bottle of saki for the table which I was ambivalent toward as saki is generally a bit harsh to me. Not this saki though. Our server suggested it and it was delicious. We took the bottle with us with plans of getting some for an upcoming beach trip when none of us will have to drive home. The appetizers didn't disappoint! The empanadas were flaky and the plantain filling was so good. The wings were huge and tasty. There were two left that I took home to DD who declared them exceptional and demanded to know when I was going to take her. The best of the three was the roasted edamame. I could have easily eaten the bowl myself! Don't choose them if you don't like garlic though. For our entrees my friends ordered the pimento cheese served with scallion pancakes, the "big dill" turkey sandwich, and the plantain tacos. All declared their food delicious. Mama and I shared the apple cider marinated chicken breast served on horseradish mashed potatoes and served with roasted vegetables. We were glad we decided to share as the portion was generous and sharing let us have room for dessert. One member declared she wanted her very own serving of chocolate peanut butter mousse but the other four of us shared. She probably had the right idea as it too was a home run. In other reviews I noticed some complaining about not having enough choices but I much prefer a single page menu over a massive book menu. The bigger the menu the more likely you're getting something pre-made and straight out of the freezer! I also didn't mind waiting although I didn't feel the wait was excessive. Our server was lovely and very solicitous of our needs. As we were leaving the chef/owner came by to thank us for coming in. She was super nice and we were happy to share how pleased we were with our dining experience. She said they have musical brunch on Saturdays and the next one would be live jazz. Check out their website for more info. In closing, please give Solfood Kitchen a shot! It's a shining island of good food in a sea of Applebees and Cheddars. read more
