Augusta Restaurants

Went for a very late lunch with BFF. I see from reading some other reviews that poor service is not as unusual as it should be, so that explains why we stood at the hostess station for 5 minutes and waited 10 minutes for our server to pay us some attention. Ordered the Philly Steak calzone which was fine, and the gyro and fries for me. Best thing I can say about my sandwich is that I had to ask my bff what I had, it was that forgettable. I do remember the fries were old and cold. Don't think we'll be returning unless someone can convince me that there is actually decent food here.

I have been here for both a cooking class and for lunch and dinner and have found everything I had to be without question exceptional. From the salad platter to the gulasch to the jagerschnitzel to the noodles I absolutely love this food. I have taken many friends who have then gone home and dragged their husbands to taste. I have a suspicion that some folks are afraid of trying something new and the menu is written in German but don't be afraid there is an English translation and servers are more than happy to help out. From the reuben sandwiches to the cordon bleu, I have not gone wrong yet!

Favorite Dish: The salad platter. Different types of German salad and a wonderful appetizer to share but I warn you they will charge you if they bring you another plate!

We went to this place as a large group and we ate in their meeting room which handled us nicely. The food is served cafeteria style and is priced at $7.99 for one meat and two sides and $8.99 for one meat and three sides. The servings are very generous and the dessert choices make your mouth water. It's open Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM and it was very busy when we got there on a Friday at 1 PM. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful, even remedying a problem with a free dessert card.
I had the ribs which were tasty and tender but arrived cold. I also had the macaroni and cheese and fried green onions.
I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to going back again. It is located almost across from the entrance to the Augusta National Golf Club on Washington Road.

Favorite Dish: Their fried green tomatoes were good and the hush puppies were very good.

Located in a lovely Victorian home on Fourth and Telfair Streets near Downtown, La Maison is the place to go for an elegant and superbly prepared and served meal. The menu changes seasonally, perhaps more often, according to the desire of the professional chef/owner. The offerings range from exotic game to fresh seafood. There has never been an issue accommodating my gluten allergy either. Be prepared to spend a leisurely evening in the elegant atmosphere listening to soft music by candlelight in one of the elegant dining rooms complete with fireplace and crystal chandeliers. You will not be disappointed. Reservations are a must. A Tapas Bar is attached to the restaurant for those not wanting dinner but desiring some good wine and appetizers. Restaurant is on Facebook.

We read the reviews for The Taj of India and decided to try the lunch buffet so we could sample different items. It's located in the Petersburg Shoppes area on Furys Ferry Road so there is plenty of parking. We were pleasantly surprised by our first outing for lunch there.
There were not a lot of patrons eating when we got there so we were able to get a booth. The person that greeted us was very helpful explaining what the things were on the buffet when I told him we had not eaten Indian food before. There were several varieties of chicken - barbecued with Indian spices and a chicken in a curry sauce. We also sampled a vegetable mix that had been fried. We put lentils on the rice and also tried an eggplant-mushroom mix. All very good. We could taste the curry and some spice flavor on several things but it was not strong. The naan was new to us and was very tasty. There was a small salad selection, some yogurt and rice pudding and orange sections for dessert. There are not a lot of items on the buffet which to us was good because we were not overwhelmed with what to try. We were very satisfied.
We were very impressed with the Health Inspection rating of 100 - A. It was clean and bright in there and the restrooms are very modern and clean also. There were tables and chairs set up outside for dining.
I certainly recommend this place for an opportunity to try some Indian food - and not have to leave home.

Favorite Dish: We enjoyed the spicy barbecue chicken and the naan.

This is located in the ever growing Martinez area. Dino's was one of the first to move in and work 24 hours a day to make his place a success. The first time we visited his restaurant we met his Mom, who was cooking also. And the food is great! If you're just looking for some dogs every which way you can have them you're in the right place. The fries are some of the best I've ever had and you'll never meet a harder working man than Dino. He does it right!

Favorite Dish: Chicago Dog all the way

Found something new and exciting in downtown Augusta for lunch or dinner. This place is really neat. And the beer selection is outstanding. It has I won't call them gourmet but different and very well done tacos. My husband and I enjoyed the beef, pork, catfish and chicken and each had something unique and tasty on it. Came with a small cup of pico de gallo that was mouthwateringly fresh and lovely. And I can't rave enough about the charros. All of you silly enough to not like beans are missing out on a great dish here. Ask for a spoon because you'll want to eat it like a soup. Best of all, no funky cheese sauces, runny salsa that doesn't taste like anything, or tacos that don't have any flavor to them. The dessert was just as terrific as the food, a bread pudding (and I am NOT a fan of bread pudding) in chocolate sauce with banana avocado ice cream. (And I am NOT a fan of bananas.) I ate every bite. Even the chocolate sauce was melted down real chocolate, not ersatz chocolate-like-perhaps-wanted-to-be-chocolate-in-another-lif e. (I think my palate is getting spoiled.) But if you want something new, fresh, delicious, and to meet the extremely nice chef, make this place a don't miss. Lunch for 2 including beer and dessert was $34.

Favorite Dish: The bread pudding and the charros. The flavor just knocked me out.

The reason to go to the French Market is either to for a business lunch, ladies who lunch, or to have mudbugs or crawdads. It's a very popular restaurant although the food is nothing to really write home about it is good. Some days the gumbo is great some days it's bland.

Favorite Dish: The oyster po boys are very good.
