Bodega Ultima - Augusta, GA

Second visit and I was pretty disappointed, especially since my first experience was amazing. The first time we were greeted, the service was on point, the food had great flavor, and the MIMSOA was chef’s kiss.

This time, we weren’t greeted and seated ourselves—we sat inside. I ordered something different and honestly struggled to find the flavor. I’m not expecting my mother’s or grandmother’s cooking, but I do expect seasoning. Even the MIMSOA missed the mark this visit, which really surprised me.

I’m still willing to give it another try because my first visit set the bar so high. I’m from this area born and raised—Surrey Center has always been known for restaurants with unique taste and style. Y’all definitely have the style—the touch just wasn’t touching this time. Hopefully, third time’s a charm.

The softshell crab sandwich was a little weird. Other than that it was a good experience.

What a gem of a café! From the cheerful greeting at the counter to the quick, courteous service, everything was handled so well. My pour-over had great clarity of flavor, and the seasonal sandwich was fresh and satisfying. I’m impressed and will gladly come back with friends

I did a little research online and this restaurant was listed as one of the best in the Augusta area and I can see why. The atmosphere was welcoming and unique, and the service and food were top-tier. The owner and sommelier spent time with us and was so thoughtful and informative as to their history! Highly recommend!

Sandwich was good but potato salad was pretty bad; no flavor, potatoes still hard, chunks too big. Perhaps getting another recipe for that would be helpful.

I’m not one to write bad reviews but this one deserves it… I had specifically told the server that I couldn’t drink caffeinated coffee because I’m pregnant, I had asked for an iced decaf coffee… she brought a hot coffee and said she forgot which one was the one decaf… given the side effects she gave me the caffeinated one… also the avocado on my toast was black…

Fun, fun, fun! Starting with Carolyne as our server, was an incredible way to start our day since it was our first time here. The bloody mary, was fabulous. The Cuban was delicious and my husband's burger was made with lotsa love. 😋 He had fries on the side and I had their potato salad. Fries were good - crispyon the outside and soft on the inside, potato salad was unique. Not your typical potato salad, but good. No room for dessert. Definitely recommend and we're ready to return. Thanks for a great experience Carolyne!! You rock!!

Nice place to stop. Didn't have any alcohol but there is a large selection. The food was ok, under-seasoned and a bit dry. (Breakfast Burrito) Iced tea was weak. Salt shakers were severely rusted. The staff were very observant.

We got there , they told us to sit where we’d like.. so we sat outside and no one ever came out to get our order. Very disappointed!

Waiter never came to our table, so we just left. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Went here on a Saturday afternoon and it was terrible! Our server hardly ever checked on us and we had to ask other servers/food runners for our food, refills, condiments, silverware, our check etc. The food was flavorless and took so long even thought we were some of the only people there. I got the “baked and fried chicken biscuit” and the menu says it’s “dipped in hot honey” but it’s smothered in some type of hot sauce and is extremely spicy. I didn’t taste any honey/sweetness at all and ended up barely eating it because of how spicy it was. I also got the papas, half of which were burnt and the non-burnt ones tasted bad. Our sides didn’t come out with our entrees, and so we had to ask about them. There was no communication that the rest of our food was on the way. We had to ask for everything we needed (check, silverware, refills, condiments) and were never checked in on. It was an extremely frustrating experience.
