    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!

    Villa Europa is one of Augusta's true gems. It was the first German restaurant I tried after moving…read morehere, and all these years later, it's still one of my absolute favorites. We went again last night and everything--from the food to the atmosphere--was wonderful. We had the French onion soup, German salad, Jäger schnitzel, and pretzels and every bite felt like it was made with care. The flavors were rich, hearty, and comforting--exactly what you want in a place like this. You can literally taste the love in the cooking. What I really appreciate is the character and history packed into every square inch of this place. In a time when so many restaurants chase trends, Villa Europa stays true to itself. It's warm, welcoming, and feels like home. The staff is hard-working and attentive, which made it easy for us to relax and truly enjoy the experience. If you're looking for a spot with soul, tradition, and a seriously satisfying meal, this is it.

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.
