    So it's cool that they have a drive thru on Washington road. That definitely makes it convenient. The staff was nice and friendly so I'd be willing to come back and try some other food but what I ordered was kinda bland. We got Pho and it just didn't do anything for me. Lacking in flavor and meat wasn't good at all. I'll have to come back and try something else on the menu.

    I love this place. The people are so friendly! The portions are big and the food satisfies my cravings when I want something quick but not necessarily fast food. It's a chill spot for your lunch break if you work near Washington Rd. You can even call ahead and pick your order up at the drive thru. They have hibachi items and Vietnamese food as well. The pho isn't the best but it's pretty good and I really enjoy the chicken wings (kinda tastes like char siu) It's a humble family owned business.

    Very decent food for a good price. Everything averages $10, fast and friendly service too. Don't expect anything too high end, great place to grab a quick bite

    Spring Rolls

    We got pho, spring rolls, and fried rice w/ chicken and shrimp to go. I thought price for the fried rice was kinda steep at ~19. Broth for pho was served at great temperature but was a bit too sweet for my liking. The rare steak was gamey but brisket was very tender. Cravings satisfied!

    Not exactly screaming "stop here" on the outside, and it's on a super busy section of Washington Road. Vietnamese fare at an affordable price with very generous portions. I've only had the Pho, though. Service is super - the ladies are friendly and helpful. My order came out very quickly both times I've been here during lunch, and it isn't packed. I put it at four instead of five because it is a little raggedy (but clean!) and the women's toilet needs to be updated.

    The fried rice I ordered didn't look anything at all like cooked rice. I sat the vegetables in it but it didn't look appetizing really. Wound up going somewhere else. Better luck next time.

    Low carb chicken and shrimp

    Visited here the other day before catching a movie and it was great. I was a little skeptical based on the outside, but upon ordering my mind changed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I checked out the menu and was happy to see they you can make their hibachi dishes low carb for a $1 extra. This is cool as some places will look at me like I'm crazy when I request this. They also have a drive thru which is good if you are in a rush. The food itself came fast and was good. I would say the shrimp and chicken combo is a little pricey for the amount you get, but just getting the teriyaki/hibachi chicken entrees are well worth it. They give you larger than average chunks of chicken in their hibachi, which was nice. They also aren't stingy with their white sauce, giving you a 4oz cup included in with their hibachi entrees.

    Chicken wings and fried rice

    The fish was cooked nicely. The sauce on it was soo good. My guess would be some type of teriyaki sauce. Yummy!! And oh the chicken wing was hot, crispy, juicy and very flavorful. My enthusiasm comes from low expectations. Bad past experience, but that's looking up now. I hope. Lol. Definitely warrants another visit.

    The pho menu.

    Ambience. C+ Service. B Food. B Price. A Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine. They cook Japanese hibachi style and also have Vietnamese pho and bun. I come for the pho as they offer tendon and tripe as options! Not much for ambience with bright fluorescence lighting, but clean. 4 tv's setup in each of the 4 corners in the dining room. I'll assume you can request to change the channel if you ask nicely. Service is friendly and accommodating if they don't get too busy. The nice lady explained options on how to order. There's also a drive up window. She was nice checking on us and helping to bag up leftovers if she wasn't busy. Otherwise, go back to the counter to get any requests. Today I ordered the large Pho #2. Rare steak, brisket, flank, tendon and tripe. $8.29. And comes with lime, bean sprouts and jalepeno. Hmm. Where was the fresh basil? I forgot to ask. Very flavorful broth and needed to stir the noodles as they clumped together and needed to loosen them up. I also like the fried fish entree. It was a good portion with fried rice and steamed carrots and broccoli. Like the mayo dressing that accompanies the meal. $7.99. Price is good for what you get. I'll come back.

The ambiance is nice. The menu offers several types of oysters, as well as about ten small plates and ten large plates. We split a frito misto, which included calamari, okra and Cod. It was delicious. For my entree I had the prawns and grits. Although tasty it was a bit of work to get the shells off. My husband had the soft shell crab and loved it. We were too full for dessert but maybe next time.

We split a half dozen oysters to start and they were perfect. We chose to enjoy 3 of two types of the oysters from their selection. I could've easily had many more. We made the decision to split three of the dishes off the snacks at the top of their menu, which was plenty enough for two of us to share along with the oysters. We had the chicken thighs which were juicy and full of flavor. The brussels sprouts with the goat cheese and balsamic glaze was a combination of flavors and texture that were absolutely beautiful. I finished the evening with an adorable birthday dessert, which was a candy bar like dish with Nutella ice cream. The sparkler candle was so cute. We cannot wait to come back to enjoy more oysters, great food, and amazing service. A huge shout out to Nick for helping us make this evening amazing.

    Bonefish Grill never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm and polished…read morewithout feeling stuffy, and the service is consistently on point--friendly, attentive, and never rushed. The food is the real star, though. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The Bang Bang Shrimp is a must (crispy, perfectly sauced, and addicting), and their fish dishes are always cooked just right--flaky, flavorful, and not overdone. You can tell they care about quality, not just presentation. Even the sides and sauces feel intentional, not like afterthoughts. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a casual dinner as it does for a date night or special occasion. Reliable, delicious, and worth coming back to--Bonefish Grill earns its reputation every time. The only complaint would be that it took about 35 minutes to get our drinks when appetizers came out first.

    I usually enjoy Bonefish Grill and the food and service were both great during my visit last night…read more Unfortunately, the experience was brought down upon just stepping in the building. The host whose name i believe was Barbara (as told by my server) was loud, obnoxious, and very unprofessional. When I arrived, I was greeted with her practically screaming at me like i wasn't 2 feet in-front of her, she then waited about 3 minutes for the other host to return before seating me...simply because i think she couldn't be bothered to walk me to my table herself. It came across as lazy and disrespectful, especially when the rest of the staff was working hard to give good service but all i got from her was an obnoxious "HELLO HOW ARE YOU". Bonefish Grill deserves better front-of-house representation than that and i know that because i've seen it, im not sure it's just bad management fleeing the workers away but the Bonefish grill employment has gone DOWN HILL. in the past few months...especially the host's.

    From the moment we walked in it felt like a fine dining experience. Not your average brunch. No…read moresir! Starting with our drinks, we both had coffee-which I would return for the coffee alone! It was bold, curious, mysterious and honestly had me asking for the name of the coffee before I left! We had a server in training, so two servers! Both were outstanding! Quick to refill our drinks and remove plates that were empty. The food.....let me just say I not only spoke with management, I also was able to speak with the head chef to give my praise. I am not one to sing false praise, trust me. When I tell you I have never, ever, had a brunch as delicious as his!!! I am a French toast connoisseur, and his was a 12/10! There was not one bite of food that wasn't outstanding. I was truly impressed, with his creativity and his attention to detail because it shined like a diamond from the front of house all the way down to the sweet lady filling the cakes when I was taking my pictures for this review! "Let me get it all full and pretty now before you get those pictures!" I mean, if she wasn't just the sweetest thing, and took 100% pride in her work. Same with the gentleman working the omelet station. He came in the day before to prep the fish (which is a long day of work!) The love they put into each dish truly shines through effortlessly! With permission, personally, I would suggest they rename their Sunday Brunch to "Soul-filled Sunday Brunch" because #1 I left ready to go to sleep! #2 I had a religious experienced during that meal, in blessings and dining I have only ever had at Church Potlucks! #3 It elevated some fancy and some common foods to such heights, I was expect to be hearing gospel music while I ate! #4 Personally, I hope heaven's banquet table is much like today's-full of love, flavor and most importantly-community! Everyone from other diners enjoying their brunch to servers, sous chefs to the top man himself-not one person wasn't smiling from ear to ear. It's been near a decade since I've seen that many smiling people all in one place! While I will have to limit how often I come for Brunch lest my clothes start shrinking! Edgar's by far, takes the trophy for elevated dining experiences in Augusta, Ga! Best of all, a percentage of all their sales goes back directly into Helms College (located in the same shopping center.) Helms college offers hands-on education in culinary arts, health services, and industrial trades like HVAC/R. Keep up the amazing work, I eagerly look forward to dining with you again!

    We were put onto this place through a couple friends and we haven't stopped talking about it since…read more Natta and Angie were so incredibly welcoming and sweet. If you've never been there, they will start you out with samples of all of their lemonade (which all of them are incredibly flavorful) and you'll inevitably get one because it's THAT good. The staff comes with recommendations to help you navigate the menu and they are so attentive and helpful. I'd go as far to say that they had some of the best service in Augusta. Now to the food, 10/10 I could not recommend them enough. I've had the honey lemon pepper wings and the loyalty platter. And it was so good. The honey lemon pepper wings were full of deep flavor and they give you at-least 10 wings with the plate. The steak and shrimp are the best seasoned meats I've ever had at a restaurant. I've also had a few nibbles of their seafood and ‍. Then when you're ready for dessert, don't worry you get samples too. The blue velvet is my favorite but all of them are award winning so you can't go wrong when it comes to Nattas sweet treats. Over all, great experience, great people, and great place. Get out and support local, it'll never disappoint. P.S. if you think it's pricey, you're wrong. You get what you pay for here. You get no less than two meals out of one plate.

    Every Queen needs a King and you can seduce your palete at Kitchen Kings x Natta's Sweet Bakery…read more After hearing amazing things about Kitchen Kings food and their favorable turn out at the Foodie Event, I stopped in and had a Surf N Turf Platter - Honors Platter with perfectly seasoned grilled Salmon & Shrimp over Dirty Rice with Mac N Cheese & Green Beans. The portion sizes are generous and very tasty. I made a Southern Palmer with their Peach Tea and Unsweetened Ice Tea 1/2 & 1/2 of both mixed together, was the perfect beverage to pair with the Honor Platter. I finished the honorable meal with The Strawberry Velvet Cake Brownie & Red Velvet Brownie dessert pairing. The service from when I stepped in, while eating and leaving was exceptional, inviting and very pleasant. Shurell was fabulous, vibrant and a fresh of breath air. I highly recommend Kitchen Kings x Natta's Sweet Bakery to discover Augusta's Hidden Gem off Gordon Hwy. The Ambiance was the perfect R&B Vibe for a casual, sexy Saturday. The music Playlist was the perfect R&B garnish to the entire dining experience. I will be back for their Low Country Boil & the wonderful Strawberry Velvet Cake. Kings Kitchen x Natta's Sweet Bakery will not disappoint you. In fact, it will make ypur day better. Please honor my review and take a taste for yourself today and dine like a King or Queen mixed with sweetness from the Bakery.
