Restaurants in Augusta

“I've been coming here since I was a kid, now I get to take my kids and we all enjoy the food! The only place I will eat seafood, the haddock is SO good I also enjoy the chicken, mozzarella sticks and whoopie pies! Fast service and everyone is so kind! The summers our family enjoy the outdoor seating! It's 100% worth the drive if you live far away.”

“People are super friendly!!! The food is 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️will definitely be going back!!!!”

“Got Mt Everest, SOBO pizza and an order of pretzels. Everything was awesome. This was our 1st visit. Highly recommend!”

“Awesome place that supports everyone!!”

“I tried Thai food for the first time on September 12th. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience at Thai For Us. Excellent service, food and atmosphere. I highly recommend Thai For Us!”

“We were looking for something to eat while in Augusta that was quick, but not traditional fast food. Did not disappoint. We loved everything.”

“Planned a wedding rehearsal dinner with them while out of state. Such a great experience working with them! They were very responsive with just the right amount of suggestion/recommendations to make it easy to plan. And the food far exceeded expectations! With multiple guests raving about the pesto chicken, mashed potatoes and Korean beef. And their grilled oysters!?!…the Texans who’d never tried oysters loved them! Really appreciate you guys and highly recommend.”

“My husband and I visited State Lunch recently and our experience was incredible… literally a perfect night out for us. The atmosphere is great, the bar is gorgeous! We started off with drinks, tried several margaritas, all delicious! Everything we ordered for dinner was cooked to perfection, the food options were unique and all amazing! … the waitstaff was very friendly and the owner makes himself a familiar face.. he makes it a point to stop by to say hello and make sure you’re enjoying yourselves… can’t wait to get back there! Keep up the great work!”

“We had the BEST lunch here! Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and our server, Chris, was amazing and SO much fun! Definitely going back the next time we are in town! 👏”

“I really loved this location. It was quaint, personable & well lit! It was homemade hash day, and I thought it was excellent. I enjoyed everything about my meal, including the super thick ham on my eggs Benedict & I am not a big ham fan.”

“Great homemade food in a family friendly atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the pumpkin pancakes.”

“This place was spot on--so much depth of flavor in every bite.”

“Gabrielle M was a wonderful server; she knew the menu, had great timing, and was charming and helpful. We love Margaritas in Augusta where the food never disappoints and is always delicious.”

“Best membership around hands down.”

“Stopped in for lunch while passing through. Creative bagel choices (Fruity Pebbles, lemon bar, honey rosemary, to name a few). Great, patient service (so many chouces!). Super clean, great location! 😋”

“There are so many reasons I love Sunrise. For starters, there’s the great food, but it’s so much more than that. This is a local business that seriously and genuinely invests in its community and THAT is why it will be here for a really long time. I’m convinced it will be a “generational business” that will be in the Central Maine business landscape for YEARS. The creative menu and excellent customer service are 2/3rds of the success - the community heart is the secret ingredient ❤️”

“The presentation and the fusion of flavors is top notch. Very clean. Quieter , cozy atmosphere with soft music. Owner always pleasant. Helpful when customer asks on levels of spicy or a description of food dish.”

“Amazingly delicious wraps! 10/10! Staff are very pleasant each time😁”

“My wife and I enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner there. It was very good. Service was excellent. Very friendly waitress”

“Excellent tacos with great flavors. I loved the mushrooms tacos, shrimp and carnitas. Delicious sauces and fresh toppings. Can’t wait to go back. I’m so happy Augusta finally has a good taco place.”

“Afroman ordered from here while he was at local meet & greet, and we thought we’d check it out after. Amazing pizza and fresh salads! We’ll certainly be coming again.”

“We celebrated my daughter’s 18th birthday here twice (due to a scheduling error on our part), on Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th. Friday we had 12 people and Saturday we had 9. We had hibachi both times. We were seated quickly, and from then on the service was fast and friendly. The hibachi chef was fun and entertaining both times and the food was delicious both times. They even gave my daughter a balloon birthday crown and some free fried ice cream! Big thanks to the folks at Kume for helping make my daughter’s birthday memorable (twice)!!”

“Great bagels and extras. A little harder than Sunrise but I prefer sometimes. I did like the larger tables in the front but they did take up a lot of room. They took out the gas fireplace/stove which I liked.”

“I had the Great Meatball of Fire last night at the Griffin Road branch. It was FABULOUS! It’s the April special and time is running out. Go get ya some!”

“I went here today with my husband and best friend. the place was very clean, and the food was AMAZING! The falor of my soup was very good, garlic bits in the broth of the soup. The pork belly had a nice crunch, the veggies were all cooked well not slimy or mushy. and the food robots were super cool, will 100% be coming back”

“Love the food service and delivery always great never had any issues”

“Amazing buffalo pizza with big chunks of amazing chicken I will order again and again”

“Good time. Hot as Hell!”

“awesome pizza amazing steak love the extremely hot wingz”

“Otto’s on the River was a true foodie experience. Our table of 5 ordered a few apps and entrees from steak to seafood to vegetarian. The table was very quiet once we started eating our meals. This was due to mouthfuls and chewing and sipping delicious cocktails and cold beers! Great wait staff and attention to detail. Nice atmosphere- relaxed, unhurried…highly recommend.”

“Great friendly service! The manager ROCKS!”

“great service good value!”

“Love this place! Good selection of books, good prices, and helpful friendly staff! 😃”

“We had an exceptional server Beka last night. She was very attentive, funny, spot on bringing our drinks and kidding around. Thank you for an enjoyable evening..”

“good place for family and friends.”

“Over the weekend we had our wedding reception at the Ogunquit location, and it was absolutely perfect! Everything turned out better than we could have imagined. The service was exceptional, and every staff member we interacted with was so kind, professional, and attentive. The entire day ran seamlessly thanks to their incredible team — they truly went above and beyond to make our day so special. We couldn’t have been happier and can’t wait to come back for dinner soon to relive a little of the magic!”

“always a good breakfast. if you are looking for a seafood basket this is the place to go. and the steak tips are very good.”

“Great friendly service! The manager ROCKS!”

“Me and the wife got a chance to get away from the kids to try this spot out a couple days ago. Great drink menu and the wife really liked her margarita. She said it was nice and strong. So if you to like strong margaritas this is a good spot for it. The street corn with chips was our favorite. Highly recommend for a appetizer. I dont remember the name but the puffs were also a favorite of ours. The steak sliders on the other hand were good but not the best. Think it needed a bit more seasoning. Also maybe instead of steak bites, going for steak slices instead. Overall, great place to grab a bite and have some drinks. Chill spot to take a date or some friends.”

“The beer was cold and the bowling was fun! First time ever to do candlepin bowling and never worked so hard for so few pins!!! Going back for more fun!! Will have to try the food, too.”

“They have wonderful baked goods and breakfast pizza and some cool sounding sandwiches. The egg salad blt is fabulous. Salads are also good. I usually bring my lunch from home though so I haven't tried a lot of their things. They also cater meetings.”

“Morgan M Gave ua great service. We came in right at a 2:30 rush of christmas shoppers. Our pizza got sent to someone else (or they atleast got served long before us when they sat much after us) She was able to fix the whole situation and was very attentive ( as their oven shuts down from 3-4) we were worried we wouldnt get a pizza again in time. But she made it happen. Thank you Morgan.”

“Stopped here, New Year's Eve. I believe she was a manager, such a friendly person great service. She deserves an Extra day off”

“Been a fan for 25+ years and only get a chance to eat there once a year due to living in northern Maine. Always pleasant staff but for some reason today when I asked my wife to stop in and grab me a Big Dave she also got herself an Italian. After paying she saw the Italian special to add a bag of chips and a soda and asked if she could pay the extra and get that and was told no because she had lettuce on her sandwich and that lettuce disqualified the lunch special. Sad that lettuce disqualifies a special but was told no other veggies disqualified it??? Sounds more like someone didn’t want to be bothered and was willing to pay the difference… just .59 cents. Got to do better”

“Excellent fresh chicken tenders and potatoes wedges .
Cashier at location was kind and helpful. Located inside MD’s market / Irving gas station.”

“I like the Hannfords on Cony, I always shop there. It is right nearby and convenient. Yesterday I stopped in on my way home from my Chiropractor to pick up some vegetables. As I was pushing my cart, I slipped on a puddle of water in the produce dept. There were a couple guys working there chitchatting away who must not have seen the puddle. Luckily, there were 3 Ladies who grabbed me as I was going down. They yelled at the guys about the puddle and told me I should report them. I didn't report them, but I probably should have. Interesting though, the 3 Ladies were unmasked, while I still wear mine due to having a compromised family member. They did not hesitate to help me. After the last year of dealing with Covid fears, It was nice to have real human contact. I was very impressed with the way Hannaford's handled the safety of their employees as well as their customers. It is a bit unsettling to not see hand sanitizer etc. and some employees with no masks, etc. Guess it will take time to settle back into the "New Normal"...”

“I ordered from Augusta, Maine and the portobello sub I got was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My fiancé’s (meat one.lol) was equally stellar. I used to manage a local shop so have never been a fan of “chain restaurants “. However….Our food was great and will definitely refer all my friends 😀🤩”

“We do not recommend dinning in here as in our experience the service is far from good.. however the food was great! We will definitely order take out in the future but will not be returning to dine in. The server didn’t understand what my husband ordered (even though it was a beef enchilada) so he just put it in as a taco salad. So by the time he recieved the correct meal the rest of our party had already finished eating. The server didn’t ask if anyone would like a refill or another cocktail.”

“Food is always excellent and cooked to perfection. Never had a complaint.”

“Tried Chen’s Chinese restaurant for dinner and ordered combo #26. First impression: the portion size is massive! The plate felt like a brick and could comfortably feed 2-3 people with leftovers to spare. You can genuinely taste how well-seasoned their woks are, which gives the food that rich, authentic depth of flavor you look for in great takeout. The restaurant was also remarkably clean and well-kept. Excellent value and quality all around”

“I think the prices are high for the product you get. Most of the employees were laid back and slow moving but one guy was moving amazingly fast and getting things done. Without him, I would have rated a three for this establishment.”

“Food was great my bourbon steak was surprisinlu good. Sat at bar because service looked much faster. Think our bartender was Sasha. She was quick and friendly. Great time”

“Enjoyed our anniversary dinner (#52!) Our server, Jessica and the Manager, Matt, were super nice and made our evening out even better. Steak and lobster tail was excellent ( my husbands meal) and cooked perfectly. Chicken parm was very good. Hoping we win the $100 gift card raffle now!”

“Linda, our server, was super friendly and she knew ball (Ghostwire: Tokyo)!! The food itself really hit the spot! I got the seafood pasta had everything I wanted all in one perfectly-portioned, thoughtfully plated dish—complete with succulent lobster claws 🤤 My partner's hot honey pizza was also divine; I thought the flavors of the hot honey drizzled over ricotta were balanced in a satisfying and comforting palette. Delicious!”

“Everything was AMAZING as always. Very fresh, and the extra details were followed to perfection as always! By far best take out around. Also the delivery driver Mike is always the best! Super friendly, and always pleasant! Thank you all so much! ❤️”

“Excellent service and excellent Chinese cuisine!”

“Very nice setting very nice setting light music in the background and I got to enjoy the whole staff sing Happy Birthday to some child we ordered a lot of different food from different varieties and it was all very good and our waiter the guy Chris was very nice super friendly I would come back because of him he made it feel like home and said he hoped to see us as his new regulars very nice guy”

“My wife and I went to Olive Garden last night and very much enjoyed it - we’d been to others in the chain but not this one. The exterior was attractive, we were greeted and sat immediately, and the food, as usual, was tasty and plentiful (lasagna for me, chicken Parmesan for my wife). We both also appreciated that our entrees were available as both full and ‘lighter’ portions, which suited us after eating the included salad and bread. But what probably made the experience so pleasant was our server Samantha, who was cheerful, attentive, and served us quickly - she’s a definite bonus for this restaurant.”

“Great breakfast and coffee too”
