25 Best American 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!“

“The Hawthorne Inn is one of the best restaurants just outside of the St. Louis area. My boyfriend and I make the drive out from St. Charles, MO. The service is always exceptional, and the food is absolutely amazing. I’ve never had a dish I didn’t like. Their house salad is one of my favorites. The prices for the quality and portion sizes are very reasonable as well. Perfect place for dates, special occasions, or any occasion at all, as their menu offers a wide variety from soups & salads, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, and various dinner entrees.“

“We always google locally owned restaurants near me and look at the reviews! Cowan's Restaurant didn't disappoint! We actually went back later in the day for pie! The food and service was fantastic!“

“Great food and drinks, I would hands down recommend this place to everyone! I had the walleye with onion rings, it brought me back to my childhood in ND. It was so delicious tender and flakey, best onion rings, and so much food. I didn’t walk away hungry or feeling gross from the fried food, super light and crispy breading. The barrel aged manhattan was awesome!! 10 out of 10 would eat here again and make sure others come try it too!!!“

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

“We went there to eat, his breakfast was very good, I had a cheeseburger which was very good. I was disappointed that it comes on a piece of wax paper, no basket or plate. I guess they could only spare plates for breakfast?? Diner atmosphere. The service was quick, but it wasn't busy. The attitude was ok, not real friendly however. It was clean as well“

“Went there for lunch today, was helped by Sarah, a new waitress, bubbly personality and very helpful. What I liked the most was her accountability, if she made a mistake she made it right and made sure everything and everyone is okay. a very rare gem in the world. I've always had great service and great food from here. Visit here and you won't be disappointed.“

“My review is limited to one particular dish - The All-You-Can-Eat Catfish Dinner. Three visits, the staff were always friendly, and the fish was always good. I'm a fan of the hush-puppies... Wonderfully sweet, not the jalapeño mix that has become to popular for its own good. Always seems to be quiet, the staff to customer ratio has always guaranteed a full beverage glass without having to ask ?“

“My wife and I go here often. Not a huge menu but the food is pretty good. We usually get a cheeseburger basket with fries and a banana split. The staff is always friendly and there are scenic views of the lake. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend it.“

“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!!!“

“I love their hours and different weekly specials and I’m a soup girl I love their soup“

“My husband surprised me at Christmas with tickets to the January Farmhouse Dinner event. The whole experience was outstanding. We really enjoyed each course, and they somehow created the perfect pairing with a wine that elevated each dish.
The first course might have been my favorite, but only because a warm hearty soup is so comforting on a cold winter’s night. It was accompanied by a homemade biscuit, which was delicious.
The fourth course was another favorite, because the chef managed to cut the prime rib into thin slices and I’ve never had it that way before. The sauce and the mashed potatoes were divine.
As expected, the portions were right sized for a 5-course meal, and the wine pours were just right as well. I was impressed by their wine selections and I truly enjoyed everything we tasted.
The chef came out when each course was served to give us a bit of background about how it was prepared.
The owner gave a brief intro to the wine selection/pairing, but come to find out, they were grieving a loss and had just faced personal family heartache, so it was incredible that they were able to pull off this event, under those circumstances.
This place is usually a bike ride destination for us, so it was a treat to have another way to appreciate the venue. I told my husband that I would love to do this again!“

“We stopped by today and had the rueben appetizers and the meat pizza. WOW..If you have never been I suggest trying it. AMAZING!!! The patio is dog friendly which for us is a huge plus!“

“Good ole hometown cooking with delicious homemade chips and great staff! The owner is a great guy and his family too!“

“10/10 this place is great! Next time I come I am trying the bison burger!! The staff were amazing and when I mentioned this was my first time here a lovely host named Diane showed me around the different rooms and all the rustic decor. My waitress was so nice and I tried her recommendation of the bread pudding and it was delicious! This is a great place to host parties or gatherings for events and I was informed there is no room rental fee for their large room where they can also set up a buffet for your guests.“

“Just ordered a couple of Angelo’s. Brought them home and the bread was very hard! Haven’t had this in a while, usually very good but we had to peel most of the bread off.“

“Had a blast last night at Field Box at T and D Tavern 💥 Already making friends here that came back you see us and we've only played here twice! 🙏 Huge thanks to everyone who came out and to the owners and staff for having us 💚😊👍 We will be back later this year and already looking forward to it! 😎🎶☮️🤘“

“We came to celebrate Veterans Day and it was organized extremely well with the local JROTC unit manning the doors, flowers and table decorations donated by Hillerman's, The staff were all wearing specially designed shirts and other decor announcing the special purpose of the evening. The menu featured a variety of options from which veterans could select... It was extremely welcoming even though quite crowded they were efficient and friendly“

“Not only did I have an amazing experience at this store, but I was a drive thru customer! The team member on the head set was amazing, my food came out fast, it was so fire!!!!! Hot and delicious! I even got extra large fries for both orders for the $1.50 because your team member was so nice and friendly! I will definitely be back soon and often!!!“
