Restaurants near Augusta

“We stopped in during the Christmas Candlelight walk. We were not fortunate to know in advance so we did not have dinner, however, the staff was incredible. The ambiance was awesome and we can't wait to go back this spring to enjoy dinner outside!”

“I love the place, it has very good wines. Very good food at rational prices. The staff is very friendly. There are many families who go with their children and unfortunately they don't have a children's play area, if they had one I would definitely go much more often, but when I tell my daughter that we will go she tells me that it is a boring place so I choose another place :(”

“Going to the Botanical Tea Room is a wonderful experience. I went with a group from the St Louis Evening Herbal Association. We really enjoyed the conversation with the owners. They are very informed on the herbal teas, garden to table herbs, flowers and vegetables. It’s so much fun touring the property to see what’s being grown there. It is evident that Penelope loves what she is doing and sharing there. She takes growing and serving very seriously.It’s really just a beautiful experience!

Dietary restrictions: I’m dairy free and Penelope had twice accommodated for me.”

“Great atmosphere, beautiful views”

“Delicious! Good portions too”

“One of our favorite restaurants of all time! Their food is consistently incredible every time, everything we try is so good. The two women who run it work so hard and they are so kind. Highly recommend!”

“The custard is smooth and wonderful. It’s so creamy but let’s talk about their food!!! Everything on the menu is so good! Bread pudding the best I’ve ever had!!! Great local place to get all of your favorites!!”

“There are a few new things on the menu- The chicken borrito with the rasberry blush refresher is my new go to. So good!”

“Went here after looking up local diners on google, as I try to support family style restaurants when I travel. Walked in and was greeted right away and told to sit where we wanted. Place was pretty full with locals all chatting across tables like a community of friends. I ordered a “three little piggies” omelette and my friend ordered the chicken fried steak. The meal was on our table in under 10 minutes even though the place was packed. My omelette was stuffed to overflowing with meats and the chicken fried steak was almost the size of the plate. My friend also ordered a cinnamon roll to go. When I say this thing was big, that is an understatement. It was the size of a large to go box. Friendly staff, homelike atmosphere, large portions, nicely priced and very tasty. Overall, a great place to eat! Stop by this place if you’re ever in Washington, MO!!!”

“Excellent French Dip. The meat was so tender and perfect. Excellent service.”

“Wonderfully friendly staff, amazing in house crafted syrup! Breakfast burrito was “the best!” according to my husband! My iced coffee with Spanish vanilla is fantastic!”

“Exit 11 baristas are always knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! They can suggest drinks if you’re not sure what to order! I love their caramel frappes the best. They also have a reward program to earn savings for your purchases! My favorite morning stop!!”

“Great food but need to fix the time to wait for food. Call in ahead of time to make sure I’m there on time and still have to wait an extra 45 minutes for a take out order. Even if they aren’t packed. 🙄”

“Both the Hotel and Tavern offer excellent service. The place is centrally located for Washington and close to St. Louis. The food was great, but the staff make the Old Dutch worth a trip from anywhere❣️”

“10/10 their oatmeal cream pies and lemon poppyseed muffins are the best- my mom and I are gluten and dairy free and happened across this bakery. Best one I’ve EVER been to.”

“LOVE this place!!!! Great atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff, many food options and I am never disappointed with my ☕️ coffee!”

“It nice atmosphere great live music and love the wine too”

“I never been to a place so outgoing and caring. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. The ice cream was a great bonus. We can’t wait to come back 🍦”

“Best cod fish sandwich I’ve ever had.”

“Best Taco place in Washington, MO! I love the owner and his family. It's super friendly and amazing with care. I personally have a severe dairy allergy and every time they get my order perfect and remember me. I am so very pleased with this place! I plan to show the rest of my family it.??”

“We eat there about once a week, very good service decent prices.”

“Definitely recommend twisted pixels. Staff are so nice and friendly. Super clean establishment. As a previous sports bar owner- couple of recommendations- make some homemade ranch and signature twisted pixels ranch, fry the wings longer so they’re crispier, get a sweet and spicy wing sauce, get a few more bar friendly foods on the menu.”

“From the road, Defiance Ridge Winery looks like just another winery. But inside is where the magic happens.  Defiance Ridge, they get it. They understand that sometimes, you want more than just a wine tasting. You want an experience.

And what an experience it was.  We got a table by the fireplace – and the view was beautiful, even on the gray winter day. The friendly staff guided us through the menu, which, bless their hearts, had something for everyone, even a gluten-free fella like myself.

I'll admit, I felt a pang of sadness when I saw those golden fries go by – a crispy, salty forbidden fruit. But they had more gluten-free options than most places I go to. And my burger? A masterpiece.  Juicy, cooked to perfection, is the kind of burger that makes you close your eyes and savor the moment. And their coleslaw was nothing that I'd seen before but delicious! My friend, equally delighted with their own plates, pulled pork sandwiches, and chicken salad on a fresh croissant, declared it a unanimous win. Oh, and let's not forget dessert -French beignets with the raspberry coulis.  My wife, a woman of discerning taste, declared the beignets transcendent. And the wine?   The real surprise was the Raisin Ranch –  my favorite choice.  My friend bought a bottle to pair with salmon.

Defiance Ridge, you've won me over.  This isn't just a winery; it's a destination. A place where the food is as captivating as the view, and the company is just as good as the wine. Consider this a standing reservation – I'll be back.”

“We love the service, quality of food and the affordable pricing!”

“We ordered a bunch of catfish for a birthday for take out and it was amazing!!”

“Best Mexican food in Washington/Union, hands down! Great chips and salsa. Well seasoned and cooked meats! Good portions... quality over quantity. Staff is super friendly!”

“They do so much for the community and the food is top notch. I recently had the potato soup and it was amazing! Also, don’t get the OG platter unless you want to be full before your meal comes 🤌🏻🤌🏻 🤤🤤.”

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff! I worked from here the last 5 mornings while my kids attended VBS. The street tacos were delicious and a great price! And all the coffees I tried were great too!”

“good source of carbs for running”

“This place is awesome. Food is always delicious and I don't know how they managed to cook the chicken strips so absolutely perfect each time. Wait staff is always awesome too”
