    The location isn't in a great place at all. The wings were good (not great) and those frozen mozzarellas sticks were OK. I ordered lemon pepper fry wings and they must've sprinkled lemon pepper mix on maybe TWO wings and I couldn't order all flats which is ridiculous! I asked why I couldn't order what I wanted and the cashier said because of how the chicken comes in. I said to myself this is stupid, if I'm paying for it I should be allowed to order whatever I want. Those sticks left much to be desired, even though I was in town visiting I don't have to return here but because the wings were good I might.

    Grilled Chicken Tater ranch on the side

    This was a great spud. Area seems kind of shady, but you're in and out quick and the food was worth it. I got the grilled chicken potato with ranch on the side. If you love ranch, they will happily drown that potato for you. It's too good, y'all! (I wouldn't recommend the side salad though. It seems overpriced for what you get. I don't have a picture because it was a coworker that ordered one. $4.99 a pop and it just wasn't worth it in my opinion. Still go for the tater though!)

    Soooo good! The potatoes are huge with a good amount of toppings. Definitely a must go for anywhere looking for something different and reasonably priced, totally worth it!!!

    Just an FYI, this place is in the hood. Doesn't bother me but if you're not familiar don't be shocked. It's located in an old strip mall. It's not a place you can dine in to eat. It's strictly order and take out. I ordered the meat tater, lemon pepper wings and jalapeño poppers. The meat tater is a baked potato with butter, chives, bacon, cheese and a choice of fried or grilled chicken and drenched in ranch dressing. A-mazing artery-clogging goodness. The lemon pepper wings were delicious. Wings not too big and not too small. Poppers were good too. Mister and I were able to share this and not feel stuffed. If we had ordered our own potatoes and shared the rest we would have been out of commission the rest of the day. Everything is cooked to order but the wait is not extensive. They also serve pork chop plates, sandwiches and fries, and other combo dinners. It's not far from my work so I know it will be my dinner stop on those days I just don't feel like rattling the pans!

    Like the first reviewer stated in her review, this place is in a sketchy part of town, where people aimlessly hang around outside of the existing businesses in this strip mall. I can say, this place is worth trying. I went during the evening and it was quite busy, many people were waiting for their food and many people came in behind me ordering food. I occupied my time waiting for my food by playing Words with Friends. I can zone out and play all day. I did this so no one would talk to me or try to illicitly advertise different business ventures of theirs. One guy handed out cards to almost everyone that came in the building, it was quite annoying. The staff was very pleasurable and was able to keep order in the place when it got quite busy. I ordered the fried meat tater. It's a baked potato loaded with bacon, cheese, chives, butter, fried chicken, and topped with ranch dressing. Can you say DELICIOUS!!! I devour most of it in the first sitting of me eating it and it's enough for two people. The pricing was fair too, being a little over $8. So I say it definitely worth braving the environment for a delectable meal!!!

    Hadn't been to California Dreaming in a bit so met friends for drinks tonight. Bustling during rush…read morehour on a weekday (Tuesday), I was glad I made a reservation. The restaurant is aging gracefully; interiors haven't changed in some time. Servers were fast and friendly. The food is a known quantity; always good hot and tasty. I just reminded myself to go more often.

    After an initial terrible start, California Dreaming has had a heck of a hot streak for me. That…read morestreak ended today. I ordered the Cali Bowl - Miso Salmon (added blackened shrimp) and fries WITH NO SALT as an APPETIZER! My buddy orders wings and a salad. His salad comes out promptly but no fries. The food comes out shortly after and he says the wings are great. Great for him! My fries finally make an appearance and are overly salty. I reminded the waitress they were requested unsalted so she took them back. By the time she'd returned with the new batch of fries, which was quite prompt, I'd mixed the ingredients of my Cali Bowl only to discover that it was lukewarm at best. The fries tasted refried, soaked with grease. The third time was a charm for the fries. I'd mentioned temperature of the bowl and although she'd offer to have it remade, it was quicker to reheat it, thus my request. It came back slightly warmer but not enough to eat. At this point, I was over it and just packed it up to take home. It wasn't the best visit but it definitely wasn't the worst. The croissants are the reason I'm sure I'll be back.

My wife got the black eyed peas jambalaya and two of us got catfish platters, one fried and one blackened. My wife didn't eat a lot of her meal because she said it was too spicy, but she's a spice wimp so I'm not holding that against the restaurant especially since I never tried it. My daughter's blackened catfish was very salty. Our fries were very salty but good. My catfish, fried, was excellent. I would have liked to give a 3.5 but couldn't and my fish was so good I just couldn't give a 3. I'd eat here again but only fried catfish for me. I could see myself eating here at least once a month. Bonus: after dinner take a walk along the waterfront.

    The stars weren't matching the reviews as it showed only 3* but I listened to the Yelpers and…read moredecided to come. One thing I'm liking about Augusta is they tell you to just seat yourself. There is plenty of parking. I'm not sure why it's called "at the river" bc I didn't see a river. There is inside and an outside enclosed area for seating when you enter from the parking lot. It is decorated like a casual bar and grill. My server was in training but friendly and worked alongside his trainer head server. For beverages, I ordered the oyster shooter and that Bloody Mary did not disappoint. I also had a Black Raspberry Margarita. This seems to be a thing in Augusta for Margaritas as well as this was the 2nd restaurant I went to and had this. The other place was better though. But let's talk about the food! The catfish was super tasty. They gave me fries although I didn't order them, and of course I still ate them. I had a side of baked potato salad. I should've asked why they're baked, but that was just okay. I had the TASTE OF BEAMIES- chicken & shrimp gumbo, black eyed pea jambalaya, shrimp and grits, my fav's in order were the chicken and shrimp gumbo, the shrimp and grits, then the black eyed pea jambalaya. I also ordered the 1/2 dozen Rockefeller oysters and they were amazing. The hush puppies that came with them were just okay. Overall, I enjoyed this meal.

In this case it was #2ForMe!!! I got the Salisbury steak with rice & gravy, yams, & butterbeans for MISTER. Then I ordered a veggie plate so that I could get 2 servings of Mac & Cheese (gotta share), butterbeans, & some of those Southside Sweet Heat wangs. Sweet Heat is the Black version of Sweet Thai Chili. Oh and that lemon cake with the crushed lemon oreos on it. Yes they are #OreosAndNotKnockOffs cause I can see the word on parts of the cookie. Everybody's tastebuds are different but I ain't gonna be giving folks props if their food or service is mediocre or less. #Everything taste so good!! The service was really good. There was a young lady taking orders but me & my friend stopped another lady that work in the kitchen to ask her questions cause we didn't want to have the poor child all confused. Check out their website their wings are named after neighborhoods in the Augusta area. Also like their facebook page to see what Soul Food items are on the menu for that day. www.bellykitchens.com
