    The Bavarian Sampler platter. The brats were so good!
    Raelene V.

    I am revisiting my review of this iconic Augusta restaurant. We visited on a Wednesday evening and there 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.

    Tony made our night at Villa Europa so fun! Great energy, super friendly, and just an all-around awesome server. Can't wait to come back!

    My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We are so happy that we did. It wasn't our first time, and we always enjoy our food! The atmosphere is very quaint, but they could use a little makeover. The bar area is very nice. Our food was delicious as usual. I did try something new, and I was glad that I did. If you go, try the peach chicken! Our server was fantastic!!

    Escargot! Always delicious.

    Yes, We have been here numerous times. This time we decided to try a couple of different things to eat. We made reservations as always. I would HIGHLY make recommendations. They were busier than I remembered. I received a very nice email from Villa Europa thanking us for our upcoming reservation. Nice touch. "We know you have a ton of choices when it comes to eating out,and we're so happy you picked us. Your friends at Villa Europa." We both had the Escargot Bourguignonne. The baguettes were soft and I got three. My husband got one. So easy fix there. We both got the dinner salads. Fresh and cold. Plates were cold and nice touch! My husband then got the French onion soup (delicious) and a side order of white Bratwurst for us to share. I tried the Villa Mixed Basket with fried mushrooms, fried poppers and fried cheese. I substituted the pepper poppers for mushrooms. Again a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. The ONLY reason - ONLY reason I give it a 4 is because occasionally a worker would come running through the restaurant, saying (almost yelling), "We are behind folks". He did this numerous times and I found it inappropriate and distracting. We thought they were behind in the kitchen. It wasn't until he came through and said "awe are holding our own" and the finally "We won, GA won!" Please this is just wrong to do in a restaurant like this. If a customer wants to know, they can either look on their phones or ask the person to quietly let them know. That took a romantic dinner with my husband away. Now with that said, overall a "usually" quiet and wonderful restaurant. So I would still recommend coming to here. Just make your reservations! Come support this wonderful restaurant! https://www.wfxg.com/story/49639525/longtime-south-augusta-restaurant-villa-europa-not-closing-hopes-to-move

    Chicken pot pie

    They kindly moved us to a larger table (for a party of four). Server helpful in explaining the menu. German, Italian and American choices.enjoyed the mixed German salad. The appetizer of mixed fried mushrooms cheese and peppers was served hot but nothing special. I ordered the special of the day, chicken pot pie for my entree The pastry was light and crispy. The sauce filling was good. The vegetables were crunchy. The service was excellent. The trout stuffed with crab was good

    I came here with my family on a quiet Sunday night for dinner. It wasn't very busy so we had great service from the hostess, waitress, and bartender. This restaurant serves German, Italian, and American options. My party stuck with mostly German options as that seemed to be this restaurant's forte. We picked most of the special items. I personally got the schnitzel caprese which I am guessing was an attempt at German/ Italian fusion. I didn't really get any hint of the Italian but the schnitzel was good and the fries were awesome! The duck was ordered out of curiosity and turned out to be really good. The only qualm I had was the crab stuffed mushrooms. I felt like the crab tasted too fishy like it might have been kind of old. It was a bad start to the meal but the rest of the night/meal really made up for it!

    5 stars from me! Delicious German, Italian, and American cuisine! Portions are large and come piping hot! Didn't get a single thing we didn't like. All of the staff were friendly and service was prompt. It has a dimly lit atmosphere with decor reminiscent of a German restaurant. Very cool spot to check out if you haven't been!

    Born in Germany, I was raised on schnitzel, and Villa Europa brings all the traditional charm and flavors of Deutschland. The schnitzel is tender and the potato salad fragrant with vinegar. The spaetzle is not to my liking, but I make it from scratch, myself, and theirs is clearly manufactured. Otherwise, it is a wonderful place to visit.

    Sour & Salt Bakery

    Really fresh independent bakery that has some incredibly friendly staff…read more Azumi, Maisy, and Elise made suggestions based on our tastes and had us in and out just as quickly as we would like. They are very respectful of your time If you need to grab something and go. While my wife and I tried desserts, we are looking forward to trying their bread made in house, that is nourishing instead of filled with ingredients that should not be. They offer a military/veteran rate and their hours are very accommodating

    I'm so happy that I wandered into Sour & Salt, and all I can say is... I can't believe that I…read moredidn't stop in earlier! No offense to the national chains like Starbucks or Dunkin', but I had been looking for a locally owned shop to buy some bagels in the morning, and I think that I finally hit the mark! I got my typical order of one (1) sesame-seed bagel, and one (1) everything bagel, and they were absolutely excellent! I can't really describe how, but as soon as I bit into them, I could immediately tell that they were freshly and authentically made, and were such a nice contrast to the bagels that I've purchased from the aforementioned chain stores. Furthermore, the staff was so nice and kind, and they seemed genuinely personable and happy that I stopped in. Even though I only got my two (2) bagels, they also had a mouth-watering selection of croissants, muffins, pastries, sweets, etc. on full display in the front. Finally, they had a nice outdoor seating area, which was perfect for a beautiful spring day. All in all, South & Salt was amazing, I'll definitely be back in the future, and I'd recommend it to anybody looking for bagels, coffee, or other bakery items!
