Excellent food and service! Simple decor but very comfortable! Next time I'm in the area I will definitely be back! Jalapeño corn bread was DELICIOUS!!!

ordered the spinach dip, didn't give us enough chips with the dip. also ordered a round of twisted teas, basically came from the sarhara desert. Customer service was amazing but we were offered pretzels to compensate for the amount of chips, we thought it was free but charged us 2.00 dollars more. Not impressed.

The service was absolutely terrible. Waited for almost 20 minutes to have our drink order taken. The food was almost just as bad, greasy, tasteless and not cooked well. Will never be coming back. The restaurant itself was also very dark, dingy and seemingly unclean.

I ordered a salad and everything was fresh and flavorful. My husband enjoyed his blackened fish vegetable risotto. The fish was cooked perfectly. He loved the jalapeño cornbread. Their sangria is delicious. Will definitely return.

I love this place from the staff to the music and above all the food them chefs got it going on. I always get the same thing which is the blackened haddock wrap sub Jamaican jerk sauce instead of tartar its spicy as hell but is one of the best wraps I have ever had I crave it regularly and always look forward to the next time I get to order it!

i can't remember when I have eaten in a worst place.. First and foremost, I got the BBQ pork on a bun @ $15. If there was one ounce of pork on the bun I will eat the front door. It appeared to be leftover from the previous day. Nasty. Then they put coleslaw on top of the pork to give it the appearance of a serving of pork . I met my niece there for lunch. If not for her being there and us having a visit, I would have got up and left. What a ripoff! It reminds me of some waterfront bar room in Portland back in the day. The difference is the bars that served food always had great food.

Very cool place in historic Augusta. I was there in a slow time of the day so sure that impacted the quality of the food. BBQ was somewhat dried out, but still tasty. Think it was because I ate at an off time when not busy. Will definitely try again.

Wonderful food, lovely staff, great service. Lunch was so good we ordered additional takeout for dinner, and they sell their in house made sauces which are both fantastic.

Don't let the north east location fool you... take it from this Texas girl, the ribs are AMAZING. For dessert, the Pecan Fireball Cheesecake was absolutely incredible. The spicy cinnamon was the perfect complement to the creamy richness of the cheesecake! And the service was absolutely five star.

The food was amazing! The food came out super fast I honestly was very impressed by the taste and was very happy with how kind the service was definitely a five star rating. And I definitely recommend it.

Save yourself PLEASE!!! Crazy over priced for terrible food. Been there multiple times, always awful, small serving, not cooked right. Go ANYWHERE else. Trust me PLEASE! We paid $200 for 4 meals that they should have paid us to eat?

Pricey but what BBQ isn't these days. Best cornbread around though. Ordered later in the evening and most of the brisket was just burnt ends at that point.

My son had jambalaya which tasted ok, but the sausage was weird. He was sick for days later. Perhaps this was a coincidence, but we won't be back.

If you're ever in the Augusta area and want BBQ this is the place to go. The staff was very nice and pleasant! The atmosphere was great. They had music playing...Rolling Stones, etc. It was nice to jam to while deciding what to drink and eat. There was a list of beers and drinks to choose from. I had Bahama Mama which was wonderful! My husband had a beer, that was cold and refreshing. I ordered the BBQ Platter which came with pulled pork and beef brisket (so tender and flavorful from the seasonings and smoke with a hint of bbq sauce on top) on corn bread and 2 sides coleslaw (very fresh flavors) plus slice pickles and sweet potato fries (by the way, season with a sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg combo). And they do have their bbq sauce too, if needed. Yum!!!! My husband had the same but with the meat on a bun instead of the corn bread. And his 2 sides were bbq beans (very tasty) and French fries. This was a "Wow Factor" experience. A lot to choose from especially if you're a bbq fan, like we are!! Bravo, Riverfront Barbeque & Grille!!!!!
