17 Best Southern Restaurants in Augusta

“We had one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. The food was fantastic, but what made the evening special was the atmosphere. My husband and I were able to relax, enjoy a wonderful meal, and spend quality time catching up about life, the kids, and everything in between. The staff was warm and thoughtful, and we even received a cute summer postcard to send to someone, which was such a charming touch. We left feeling full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit. ❤️“

“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! ❤️“

“I was craving Mac & cheese and Yams so I did what I always do I pulled up door dash and this is what was recommended so I figured I give it a try got the plate with fried chicken rice & gravy yams along with Mac and cheese with a pork chop on the side. I was highly impressed this is the first soul food spot I tried in Augusta GA and honestly I don't feel the need to look anymore this is my new go to from now on Food was amazing 20/10 would definitely recommend.“

“good southern home style food“

“First time dining here, came on 5/9/26. I brought my friends here for Mother’s Day, I’m glad it wasn’t on mother’s day(too expensive). We were greeted by the beautiful hostess and we were sat immediately. I ordered the short rib Mac n cheese with greens with turkey. My friends ordered pancakes, French toast with fruit and waffle and chicken salad. They enjoyed their food as did I. The short rib pieces were burnt but still good. The greens were so yummy but in my opinion not enough for the plate. The Mac n cheese was soooooo good, it was just under the salamander a little too long, it too was burnt but not too bad where I could taste it. I give it a 9.5/10 and a total recommend. The prices were foot for the brunch.“

“I made it all the way from KC to eat here and it did not disappoint!! I had fried green tomatoes with a cup of Apple tomato soup & seafood bisque - because how can you choose?? They also come with what I calll crackified saltines - butter and herby embellished. Several good beers on tap that are not the usual and very delicious. And then there’s the dessert- luckily you can get a half slice of cake! I tried chocolate perfection (well named) and the hummingbird (deliciously cinnamony) Casual Southern atmosphere makes it easy to enjoy the food. The icing on the cake was my dreamy server, Zach. Excellent friendly service with a smile that was spot on! What a kick off to my trip 😋“

“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!“

“Wife Saver has some of my absolute favorite chicken tenders. The batter is delicious. I also love their fried okra, hush puppies, and cornbread. For dessert, the banana pudding is a must. For good-ol Southern comfort food, head to this place and enjoy. The atmosphere is a bit dated, but the food and service are always great.“

“This was the best meal I’ve had in a while. Country fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, pinto beans and Mac and cheese. Just like my grandma used to make. Delicious!!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious! Can't wait to try the ribs next time. Definitely 5 stars. great.... food great.... atmosphere great..... smiling employees 😃“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
