Broad Street dinners, Southern kitchens, barbecue, oysters, pizza, brunch, cocktails, and cake

Augusta restaurants

Augusta's restaurant map runs from Broad Street taverns and historic downtown buildings to the oyster bar and Southern kitchens at Surrey Center. Barbecue, Neapolitan-style pizza, Sunday brunch, and the Boll Weevil's cakes add casual choices between those two dining districts.

Broad Street before a performance

Pair a downtown table with the Imperial or Miller

Frog Hollow Tavern, 5th & Fire, and other downtown tables sit near the Imperial and Miller theaters. Check the performance start, restaurant hours, and the current Broad Street construction map; work is active between 13th and Fifth streets and can change the easiest parking approach.
