    Curry wurst
    Rick T.

    I really enjoyed their bratwurst and other sausages they were so good I stuffed myself with two orders. The smell was so irresistible I had to have them. The owners were really cool and knew their brats. This stand should be at every new brewery that opens in columbia at least once a week! Conquest and River Rat you have my million dollar idea!

    The employee wearing the blue hat is the one who was racist toward my family.

    Unfortunately I am lowering my stellar five star review to two stars following a racist incident that my family experienced with a Wurst Wagon employee on October 15, 2016 at the Soda City Farmer's market. I waited until now to write about my experience partially due to the trauma, but also because I wanted to give the business the benefit of the doubt as the owners of the food truck were present and appeared to be quite embarrassed about the situation. Given the fact that I saw this employee working at the Annual Food Truck Festival today, I can no longer give this business the benefit of the doubt. Here is what happened to us: On October 15, 2016, at the Soda City Farmer's market my daughter and I witnessed the employee photographed below display a nasty, racist attitude towards my Latino husband who was just trying to buy a kielbasa at the Wurst Wagon (racist because he was treated differently than the white customers). We were standing to the side reading the menu trying to make selection and the employee refused to answer my husband's questions. My husband wanted to know if any of the sausages were spicy and the differences between each flavor ("It's a kielbasa, of course it's not spicy," he answered with an irritated voice"). Then he gestured to my husband to step to the right about three inches, "you need to stand right here," where apparently the line was except there was NO ONE ELSE present. He then proceeded to ignore my husband until one of the German cooks stepped in to explain. My husband finally made a selection and handed the employee his money. "Here you go, it's ready," and motioned for him to leave WITHOUT giving him his change." My husband let him know he was simply waiting for his change, which was then given to him. He started putting his change in his wallet while standing off to the side when the guy pointed again to his meal and said, "It's right here, it's ready," and motioned for him to move. At this point there was ONE person in line and there ways no way the fact that my husband's meal sitting on their long table was holding up business. My husband explained "I'm just trying to put away my change," as the guy turned his back and began to engage with another customer. I was frozen in disbelief. Now before you try to explain away his behavior as just being a jerk or having a bad day, just let me tell you what happened next: a white family walks up and the employee converses and laughs with all of them while pointing out and explaining the different sausages for several minutes before making a sale.

    Amazing authentic German food. The Currywurst is the best I've had, and the Bratwurst with the sweet Bavarian mustard was insanely good.

    I don't like potato salad and I don't like mustard, but the potato salad here was amazing and the spicy mustard was out of this world!

    Eat here! Folks,…read morethis is a decent family place with delicious and unique offerings from both Germany and Italy. Regrettably, I've only been twice and both times, my entire party went for the German so we'll limit the scope of our review to that. It should be noted, however, that some New Englanders I know were very happy with their pizza from here. Ok, onto the review: 1) Food: it's all great. They start you off with some garlic bread which is obviously homemade dough. It's great. We ordered the Curry Brats starter which is a quality german style sausage that has been nicely browned. It's served with a unique curry mustard which balances the dish perfectly with some acidity and spice. As for mains, I tried pieces of the Sauerbraten, the Jaeger Schnitzel, and I ordered the Rahm Schnitzel for myself. It was all delicious and my party (normally lighter eaters) cleaned their plates. The only questionable trend with the mains is that most things come out very lightly salted. To me, that's actually a good thing so you can salt to your liking or enjoy the dishes without feeling all salted up. For sides, I've had the Spätzle (a german style pasta browned in butter) and the rotkohl (red cabbage). Both are exactly what I hope for at a German restaurant. Delicious. The side salads were fresh. 2) Service: everyone is nice and expedient. I doubt they'll hesitate to fill any request you make. The owner even wandered out to the patio to see what we thought. You can tell they really care about their customers. 3) Ambiance: the joint really reminds me of a small neighborhood restaurant you would see in a town in Southern Germany. It's decent ambiance. The only thing that could be a bit better here is price but this is not a good economy we're in here. You'll probably pay around $15 a head but you will leave full and possibly even with leftovers (assuming you eat like a normal person not a pro bodybuilder). Okay, that's my review. Sorry for forgetting photos. I feel like a teenage girl taking food pics.

    I've not been to Villa Europa in 30 years. I learned recently that they are having some economic…read moredifficulties, and I wanted to visit. My late maternal Grandmother took several of us there when she closed on her home many years ago and I remember a very pleasant experience. The spot is stuck time and represents the glory days of South Augusta. It still smells and looks the same. We started with the Bavarian Fritters. They were so scrumptious. I love the apple sauce with which they are served. I had the pork schnitzel with Spätzle for my entree. It was delicious. They have outdoor dining and a large dining room. Our service was great and we had an excellent turnaround time on our food and orders. I took a slice of German Chocolate Cake home. Parking is free and ample. Come support this longstanding Augusta institution that has been around for 50 years. I'd recommend some updates from an infrastructure standpoint on their end to really improve the experience but otherwise we had a great experience.

    I am revisiting my review of this iconic Augusta restaurant. We visited on a Wednesday evening and…read morethere were only a few folks there although our wonderful server told us it had been busier earlier. This restaurant has been here for 40 years and I fear she is on her last legs. Villa Europe is like a grand dame of yesterday in a shabby mink and run down heels. The wallpaper is torn her and there, the carpet is a bit worn and things just look old yet it is still cozy and somehow elegant. My daughter lamented that they "don't make restaurants like this anymore". Our waited predicted that the place would most like close by June. He said the building is too costly to maintain. It's a shame because this is our go to for German cuisine after having some negative experiences at the other German restaurant in the area. We did notice that they are no longer selling alcohol but fo offer some alternative options. As we always do we had German fare although Italian and American are offered. My daughter chose the braised pork with a mushroom cream sauce served with spaetzle and german potato salad. She declared it very tender and tasty. I had my perennial favorite Jaeger schnitzel with brown mushroom gravy and roasted red potatoes. I also had a nice side salad with excellent blue cheese dressing. Mom got the sampler platter with home fries and had to carry half home with her. Over all everything tasted great and the service was top notch. I hope to make it back before the doors close for ever. If you've ever enjoyed a meal there, or you are looking for superior German cuisine give Villa Europa a visit before the doors are closed forever on this Augusta tradition.
