For the price and ambiance, I think Brinkley's would be best for a nice date night or special occasion. The service was great. I came in on a Sunday at 2 pm when they offer a "small bites" menu. I chose the Korean chicken wings, the U10 scallops, and the crab salmon crudo. The crab salmon crudo was the most memorable dish. The portion size was large and the flavor of the seafood is the highlight. The scallops were ok and the chicken wings were not light and crispy in the way Korean fried chicken usually is. I would imagine the "wow" factor would come from ordering steak or seafood during dinner service. read more

Food and service was fantastic! Worth the price! The staff is very pleasant and welcoming, excellent atmosphere.

This place was amazing ! A little pricey but you get everything you pay for, great ambiance and food was absolutely delish. The prime mignon was great , as well as their 4 cheese mac and cheese and burger. Lastly the dessert menu had great options including a Banana SPLIT! Many restaurants dont offer that so it was something that stood out to me. read more

We've been several times when it has been a good experience, but last night flopped. We have sampled many things from the menu over our visits, from the Tomahawk to the NZ lamb, the filet, and the salmon. All have been delicious. However, when I asked about my absolute favorite dish that has gone away, the poulet rouge that had been on the menu in the past, the waitress gave me an odd look like I was crazy for asking as she had no idea what that was, and then she proceeded to point to the menu and say "that's our new chicken setup". I liked the former dish for its pesto, unique rustic gnocchi, with the greens and beans. She shrugged at me when I explained the dish I was asking about. When my husband asked if they could possibly make something similar to the dish, the waitress seemed put-off by the question and replied "no, we can't do that" without even asking kitchen staff. Now, I understand it is not a special order restaurant, but it was just a politely asked question and not outlandish. Plenty of restaurants are capable of whipping up an old dish off the menu. Anyway, all in all, last night was a lack luster experience from waiting for a while to have a waiter come to the table in the first place, to her nonchalant service, and then the scallop dish was "meh". I'm a little bummed. Augusta really needs more restaurants with good food, minus the hype. Just disappointed when an average $300 experience is just that ...average. OH!! Edited to add: I ordered an extra side -- Brussels sprouts-- and they NEVER arrived!! Now that I think of it, waitress was pretty bad. Not sure we will go back. read more

So we reviewed the private dining area. Never do it. All the steaks had to be cooked the same way. Paid $75 for a steak and couldn't get it cooked my way. The food wasn't great. Also there is a 2k requirement which doesn't include drinks which we were aware. When we hadn't meet the minimum someone should have brought that to our attention before getting our receipt. If we would have known we could have ordered more to take home instead of fatting someone else pocket. Didn't know the menu would be pre-selected. Older individuals would have liked a salad and bake potato with their steak. It's hard dividing a receipt up for 23 different people. They also charge a 3% fee to use a credit charge. Room very small for a 2k spending rule. read more

This is a $$$$ premier restaurant in North August. It is among very few fine dining choices for the Augusta area. The steaks we had were the best we've ever had. Sides were generous and delicious and deserts were second to none. It is an excellent special occasion steakhouse. read more

recently went to brinkleys chophouse to try out their new menu options, and i am obsessed! for my starter i got the lamp lollipop chops, which comes with whipped goat cheese and jalapeño. TO DIE FOR!! for my entree i got the Diver Scallops. they came with a peach/bourbon purée polenta, pressed pork belly and pickled peaches. the dish was incredibly put together, and all of the flavors meshed perfectly. will be back for that. dessert, my favorite part: white chocolate & cappuccino bread pudding with vanilla ice cream & an espresso syrup. heaven in my mouth. 10/10 recommend Brinkelys Chophouse for all occasions! cannot wait to come back & try more! read more

Awesome service and the Food was amazing! Mickey operating manager took time out to introduce herself and treated us like family. The chef did a wonderful job on our meals. The wine was delicious! My husband Terry and myself had a night to remember!! We definitely will go back and definitely recommend!! Brinkleys Chophouse read more

We had a Friday night reservation- arrived on time and were seated immediately. I was worried from some of the photos that it might be too bright inside, but that wasn't the case. The room is cozy and we kind of felt like we could have been in a major city instead of little old North Augusta ;) We ordered our wine and a couple of starters. The Peaches and Cream was a good portion for our party of 4 to share. Very tasty except the balance was off. More peaches could have helped with the saltiness of the other ingredients. We ordered one of the butcher boards and everything was cooked well and tasted great. Lobster tails were small so they gave extra which was appreciated. For dessert we had cheesecake with berries- a nice ending to the meal. The only reason I'm giving 4 starts and not 5 is because of the service. It was fine but we felt rushed at times. Trying to clear our appetizer when we still had a third of it left on the platter, asking multiple times in a short period of time if we were ready to order. We just felt at this price point, service could have been more polished. read more

Fabulous food! Service was great and the atmosphere is very nice. Taylor N was our waitress and she was great. Very glad NA has this place!

What a great place! I love all the restaurants down by SRP Park and knew I had to give this place a try. We wandered in on a Saturday night and while there is no dress code, I would say we were under dresses for such a nice place. But the servers could not have been nicer. We had two small kids and they offered us either of two tables and were so kind and helpful. They were out of the wagyu so I ordered the 6 Oz sirloin medium rare with the brussel sprouts on the side. My husband ordered a shoulder strip and both kids got macaroni and cheese. The steak was easily one of the best I've ever had. Easily. My kids loved their Mac and cheese and my husband raved about his food as well. Such a gem - having walked in with two little kids and wearing a t-shirt and shorts I would probably recommend dressing a *little* nicer but again, they were very accommodating. Also it poured on us as we were leaving and although we didn't use the valet service, they were so kind to walk me to my car with an umbrella while I carried a kid. read more

Everything was great - from service to food & drinks. Complimentary valet was a big plus given it was a game night for the Green Jackets and finding parking was quite difficult. Will be certainly be back! read more

We live nearby, so we've been eagerly awaiting its opening and thought a nice, quiet, Sunday brunch would be a good start. Boy were WE disappointed! To be fair, though, this one-star review has nothing to do with the food, which we didn't even stay to try. As soon as I opened the front door I was blasted by the extremely loud music of a live folk singer --- I could barely hear the hostess! It's really something I'd expect to hear next door at Southbound Smokehouse, not at a restaurant that evidently aspires to be an upscale dining experience. Definitely not that, at least not for Sunday brunch. If they must provide live music, something more gentle would a better choice. I'm only glad we were early for our reservation and found out about it before we were served. Otherwise, it would have been a VERY unpleasant dining experience. Brinkley's isn't likely to see us again. read more

The food was amazing and it should be for the price. We got the beef tartar and it was delicious chunks of meat and avocados with a vinaigrette sauce on top. My husband and I each got steaks and they were perfect tender and cooked to our liking. The service was amazing very attentive and explained the menu to us. read more

The food is always on spot. Great appetizers, salads, steaks, and desserts. The bar staff is by far the best in the CRSA. Aaron and Mitchell have it dialed in. read more

Great New American Steakhouse serving a curated selection of beef. Featuring the areas only duck fat aged Delmonico ribeye and also the area's largest selection of gold label American Wagyu beef from Snake River Farms. Also has amazing wine list, craft cocktails and fantastic tapas specials !! read more

Great new restaurant in North Augusta's SRP Ball Park. Small intimate atmosphere offering great food and wine. They have a great selection of steaks and chops. They also have duck, chicken and fresh seafood. We tried the land sea and air butcher board which consist of Ribeye, New York strip, 2 Confit duck leg and thigh, 12 grilled jumbo shrimp and 2 lobster tails with 2 sides. OMG. Unbelievable!!! Great service, food and bartenders. Valet parking also available. Must try. read more

I gave it 2 stars only because the server and manager was doing the best they could .. my heart went out to them The food wasn't even cooked right ..we had reservations and still waited 2 1/2 hrs for our food and we didn't mind waiting if the food was worth the money and IT WAS NOT .. they were completely over booked.. People that had arrived after us were getting served while we had to wait 2 1/2 hrs for our food Again it was NOT the server It's on the owner of this establishment not wasn't even present on this very important weekend like Mother's Day Shame on you sir .. Shame on YOU .. ONE COOK !! ONE !!! For a restaurant that had every table on this day occupied!!!!! Leaving these workers to endure the back latch of the people that were angry The verbal abuse they had to endure was discussing...my heart broke for them ..so bad that these servers were in tears .. I could somewhat understand the people's anger ..as we were angry to .. and personal the food wasn't even that good I should have bought my own steaks and cooked them at home even though it was Mother's Day .. what a disappointment.. so excited to try this place out and it turned into a nightmare .. read more

My husband and I have been here a few times. They kitchen really knows what they are doing when it comes to preparing the beef and seafood correctly read more

I've been to Brinkley's Chop House twice now, and both times exceeded my expectations! They definitely have the best steak I've ever had! The last time I went we got the Butchers Board and it was way more than enough food for our 4 person party. The service there is always amazing, the wait staff are really knowledgeable about the menu and the wine lists. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant and look forward to my next trip there! read more

Amazing chop house! Our server Taylor was amazing and they had the best steaks we had ever had. Will definitely be back!

The first time we went we did not like it. However we decided to give it a second chance because sometimes it's a bad night. Just the same and we will not be back. Good didn't come out correctly, steak was not cooked right, asked for bread and never got it. Asked if I wanted another drink, but didn't fix it for like 10 minutes and we were sitting at the bar. I joined the waitlist online before coming just in case there was a wait. The guy at the hostess stand acted like he had no idea what to do and despite there literally being 60% open tables he said we would need to sit at the bar. We asked if there was a table and he finally showed us one that was basically on top of the table next to it and said there was a reservation at 730 so if we sat there we would need to be gone by then. Just terrible and for a restaurant this expensive you expect more. Go to Frog Hollow instead. They know how to run a restaurant read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere! THANK you to our AMAZING server Tori M. She made my birthday dining experience evermore enjoyable and memorable. Also she brought me a slice of birthday cake with a candle, as busy this place was she went above a beyond. Differently will return. read more

Brinkley's is the finest restaurant in the CSRA! Great atmosphere, great location, plentiful parking (or valet!), and a great staff! The weekly verity of specials are wonderful, from soups & appetizers to entrees! With 1/2 price drink specials on Tuesdays & 1/2 price bottles of wine on Wednesdays, there are always new drinks to try. Phenomenal food preparation and attention to detail make it an excellent weekly stop for dinner! read more

Simply put the best fine dining restaurant in the CSRA. From valet service, front desk, waiter/waitress, bar staff, GM and Chef this place is the best. Fair warning be prepared to be blown away! Recommend tuna poke, Cajun shrimp, waygu tasting. read more

If anyone is in or around North Augusta, Brinkley's Chop House is a must! You will not find better quality food and service anywhere! The fine dining atmosphere is top shelf. The friendly and knowledgeable staff are definitely a cut above. Need help pairing a wine with your meal? They will recommend several, or select one for you. Just a reminder they are reservation only. read more

Steak was OK, I like mine better as well as my asparagus is better than theirs. Potato croquette was good on outside but rest of potato blah. Do not planning on going back. For the price I expect far more. Cork and flame better read more

We went to Brinkley's Chop House on the Saturday before Masters week. To start, they clearly communicated that they were a new steakhouse on the venue and were trying to draw business. The place was packed! I want to start by talking about the attire. I was expecting a business casual attire for such a pricey steakhouse but there were folks who just got off the golf course (not pros...trust me!) that showed up with untucked golf shirts and backwards ball caps and sandals. Very disrespectful. Mind you, we spent just short of $1,000 on our bill!! Not that they were a nuisance, but kinda killed the "special night affect". That said, the food was awesome. They probably have the best bartender ever! I asked for a side car (not on menu) and he killed it! I wish I remembered his name but he was awesome! We ordered the butcher board for four for our main course and it was incredible. They have the service and food down pat, but need to force the attire issue a bit. read more

Came here with high hopes as this place was highly recommended by several people. The isn't bad, but I've had much better steaks at Texas Roadhouse. I suppose I was expecting this place to be similar in quality to Capital Grill or Flemmings...NOT! And the icing on the cake is it cost like a premium steak house that delivers like Longhorn. I really don't recommend this place! read more

Great food. Great service. I've only sat at the bar, but the wagyu platter is incredible. Old fashions are extremely respectable. It a must try read more

This restaurant looks amazing but looks can be deceiving. We arrived at 8:15 (our reservation time) and was greeted by the hostess who said they were cleaning the table. We were seated 20 minutes later. We didn't get our food until 10:12. No one complained We merely asked how much longer? No apology and when we inquired about our food, the manager tried to gaslight us by calling our party aggressive (typical Karen move). Everyone at the table had multiple degrees and exhibited consomate professionalism the entire night. We spent over $700 and the waitress (who did nothing) never refilled a glass got $120 tip.The owner contacted us the next day and offered our money back (which we declined). Contrary to popular belief we don't want your money, we want great customer service and to be treated with respect in your establishment. read more

The food is amazing! Service is fantastic! This is truly a "real" steak house. So nice to FINALLY have a local place to go for a wonderful ,tender and juicy filet. read more

Had dinner last Thursday evening with two other couples...WOW, everyone left happy! Fabulous food from appetizers to desserts! Servers were wonderful and knowledgeable of menu. Live music was a very nice touch to the evening, not loud. We will all be back. Also appreciated the valet parking! read more

This place was ok. Not bad, but not great. Food was certainly better than Outback, but nowhere near Ruth's Chris or Perry's. Yet, the prices are on par with both those places. Mussels appetizer was delicious. My steak was cooked medium rare like I asked, but didn't seem like they seasoned it at all. Their Brussel sprouts were excellent. Friend got the pork chop which was good except they ruined it by putting this god awful BBQ sauce on it. It tasted like Kraft brand sauce you'd get for $2.50 at Wal Mart. Service was lacking. Another friend ordered the tomahawk ribeye. Our whole table confirmed with the waiter (twice!) that my friend did not want it sliced up. He wanted the steak whole. Guy said no problem. Steak comes out sliced up. He did apologize, but c'mon we reminded you more than once. Our table ordered a 2nd round of drinks when our food arrived and we didn't get them until after we were done eating. Which was about 40 minutes. Waiter said that a large group had ordered 14 martinis right before he put in our 2nd drink order. That's really not our problem. Get another bartender. Seemed like a fancy steakhouse with the usual amateur hour bartending and wait staff that is quite prevalent in the CSRA. Ok, but not worth the price at all. read more

Fantastic food! Great service. We came for the masters and the restaurant was packed but they handled it very well! The pineapple cucumber margarita is amazing! Our waitress (I forget her name... she had brown curly hair) was also really great. Thank you! read more

First we were passing through on our drive back from GA. Let me tell you not only the service was great but from drinks, appetizer and our dinner was made to our perfection. I don't know who wrote that they saw cockroaches I did not see one dumping or bug on site. You can tell management keeps the place clean. Heck I would hire them to clean my house and be my personal cooks. In all this place is a great night out and if you have a problem let the owner know. They walk around to make sure the patrons drinks are always filled and if you have issues they will always fix it. read more

WOW! Didn't think it could have gotten better than last time, but I was wrong! Staff rcalled us from last time with very specific detail. We couldn't have had a warmer welcome. My wife started with the Mac & cheese fritter appetizer w/ pork belly and grilled tomato . The bacon and pork belly flavors were stupendous, and the portion could have been a dinner unto itself. She had the N.Y. strip as an entree, beautiful cut of beef! I had a Caesar salad to start and easily coulve called that a meal as well. I love the soft boiled egg, it gives it such a creamy egg flavor. I follwed that with the special, seared ahi tuna with blackened, herbed lamb meatballs. An unusual pairing to be sure. Served with thick orange slices, apricots and an Almond puree' like I've not had before. When you tasted it the palate says " meh" and about 5 seconds later almond flavor explodes in your mouth! Thank you for living up to to and surpassing our last visit! We will be back...soon. read more

Great food and service. Steaks are wonderful as well as the sides. Risotto, Mac and cheese, Brussels and Creamed spinach were the best. Our waitress was attentive without hovering. Surprised at the very casual dress of some the patrons. Whatever. We will be back. read more

Incredibly overpriced average food and service. Nothing special. I won't go back. Nice area and atmosphere by the ballpark.

Tonight m me, my husband, daughter and grandson had dinner there. The restaurant was not busy and the items ordered were taking way too long to come out. we asked for cocktail menu and it took ~15 minutes to get it then no return at all! we ordered coffee and dessert and the coffee came out when we were ready to leave and actually paying. we did get told after asking for it that she was backed up as we watched her standing and talking. we asked for raw onions and two had sautéed onion and one with nothing. then we asked for raw onion and she questioned us as to being truthful. when we placed our order we asked for a side salad and she didn't give us French fries. her theory was she assumed we didn't want the fries. she didn't confirm it all. we told her. I'm very disappointed and I don't see the hype matching the prices and trust me, we are into good food. I'm not sure what this will do; but I hope some form of seeing the level of "not important". we chose this place over Manuel's. that won't happen again. read more
