Food scene
Festive local spot in the heart of downtown- good drinks, good food, and the place (and staff!) are oftentimes outfitted as part of a theme.

Really close to the house!! If you like Oysters, yet skeptical about getting quality and fresh ones, this is the place! Great menu but the specials are what are most appealing. Always changing and always delish.

I’ve never had a meal here…. But I hear the food is good. HOWEVER- This is dessert paradise. Get there early on the weekends. The best goes fast!!!!

It’s a mile away from the house…. And my kryptonite for enjoying amazing pizza, especially on those busy days when making dinner seems impossible. Wings and salads are as good as the pizza! Guests you won’t regret!

This is an elegant restaurant yet worth every penny! Get the pork chop! My husband chooses it over the steak, no matter the specialty. And the “southern fixings “ appeal to his South Carolina taste buds.

Sightseeing
Bring a bike or just take a walk! The lower level is beautiful and cooler in the summer. Avoid the upper walkway during the heat of the day. Recommend parking near the Augusta Marriott Convention Center. Pretty spot for photos and a couple good food spots!

If you enjoy a good cocktail or prefer your booze a la “neat”, this is a great place is a newcomer to Augusta’s local distillery scene.
Fun, relaxed local distillery adjacent to the riverwalk. I love this place because no matter your preferences, this place will satisfy the hard core whiskey drinkers and the casual cocktail sippers. Only open on weekends unfortunately ;(

Nice Italian cuisine and fun atmosphere. Not elegant by any means, but a good restaurant very close to the house. The calamari is superb!
