18 Best Southern Restaurants in Augusta

“Sophia was so great! She took excellent care of us and made our birthday celebration so special. We love Abel Browns and will continue to make it our special occasion destination. From the oysters, to the mussels everything was superb. We had Johnny cakes and. Charcuterie board and they did not disappoint. The bartenders were soooo good. I wasn't feeling the drink menu that much so they made me unique vodka drinks. Both were really good.“

“So pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. The food was amazing but the best part was our server Rhonda. She gave amazing suggestions and was a delight. We had the pimento cheese( I had never had before & never would have ordered without her suggestion. We had salads, fries and a bottle of bubbly!“

“The best!!! Turkey wings are my favorite. I judge restaurants based on their Mac and cheese and this is definitely 5 star worthy! ❤️“

“Atmosphere was a vibe. Music was way too loud though for the amount of us that was in there, but the cashier was absolutely amazing. She was very sweet and kind and really took care of us. I was confused on my order and she fixed it with no issues no judgment or attitude. I need this everywhere I go.“

“Loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent, friendly and attentive! I ordered the red velvet waffle, and while it was good, the cinnamon was a bit strong, which made it hard to taste the red velvet itself. Still, I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back“

“good southern home style food“

“After reading the reviews we had to visit. I had the chicken salad. We’re from England and the chicken was shredded and in some kind of sauce, almost like a coronation chicken, not what I expected but nice enough. Service was rushed, I felt like this lunchtime the waiter was just trying to serve as many people as he could. As he cleared our plates he told us he was bringing the bill. Not quite the leisurely experience we are used to but glad we visited non the less.“

“The brunch was excellent! The layout of the food just stunning! The prime rib was cooked to perfection! The seafood was plentiful with plump pieces of shrimp, raw oysters on the half shell and several other things to choose from! Let's not forget the lobster Mac and cheese! Of course there were the more traditional things to choose from but these things I listed were the highlight of my meal. Dessert was a problem. Too many wonderful things to choose from! Bananas foster topped with vanilla ice cream was my favorite! It was cooked by a staffer as we looked on as she cooked it beautifully. Presentation stunning. The staff was yes, the hostess with the mostest! For the amount, the holiday, fair price for what was included. Will make it a tradition for our family and friends!! 💝“

“Excellent food quality and taste on the buffet or menu. Extremely good service! The Wednesday Luncheon Social Club has approved Ruth’s as our home restaurant because we feel like family there! We’ll see ya there on Wednesdays!“

“Myself and my six sisters went for brunch and everything was great.“

“Great food best Hamburgers and onion rings, great prices which they had the chicken wings great hospitality“

“My uncle told my mother and I about the place so we decided to go. I can't eat spicy foods and everything I tried was great and flavored just perfect. I got so much on my plate I ate two times on it. My mother and I took my sister and she loved it also. We have decided not to cook for new years so we are hoping they will be opened New Year so we can go there.“

“I am usually there every Thursday. I always love talking to the lady's inside and shoot the breeze with the brothers outside! Great laid back and quiet atmosphere... I usually get the pulled pork, hash and rice with Mac and cheese. It NEVER fails that it is better each time. As a matter of fact, I am on my way now.“

“Inexpensive, quick- very good Southern comfort food. Mac and cheese, fried chicken, chicken tenders, green beans, pork chops, and hush puppies are my favorites. The mashed potatoes are REAL- this place was a staple when I was growing up and I still love it.“

“I went there for the first time today and I got the Salmon with potatoes, OMG, it was absolutely delicious, best I have had. The staff was professional and kind and made sure to check on us several times. If I could give them 100 stars I would!“

“Outstanding food & service. 5 STARS or better yet, 6 STARS out of 5. We have a Thanksgiving feast of beef brisket, pulled chicken, turkey, Quarts of green beans, collards, sweet potato casserole, corn bread dressing, large cartons of gravy, red bbq sauce & white Morgan Co sauce, a pecan pie & chocolate pie, all of it delivered by the manager, Rachel.“

“Good food… #period I recommend the food eaters look for“

“I love Cheddar Scratch Kitchen! We have several up north. The honey croissants are amazing and a must have if you are stopping in or eating out. The southern fried chicken was an amazing deal. For $3 extra you got an entire second chicken breast. Only issue is the curbside pickup is not connected to the text you receive when order like all other major restaurant chains.“
