    Margarita

    Enjoyed dining at Brinkleys for the first time! Everything was top tier from the servers to the food. Enjoyed the ambiance inside. The food tasted amazing and did not disappoint. Will definitely dine here again. Highly recommend!

    Complimentary valet parking

    We have eaten here since Brinkleys opened, numerous times a month and the bill is always over $200.'Tonight was told they no longer have free valet parking for diners so there is a charge for parking and valet tip,'3% up charge for credit card plus our 20%+tip. We left and will not be back. Incidentally, this Yelp site specifically says "complimentary valet parking".

    Brinkley's Chop House located in North Augusta, SC Food: We ordered the King Crab and Lamb Rack with mashed potatoes. The crab was cooked perfectly... not over cooked and mushy, perfectly tender and tasty. I was surprised at the large portion of the Lamb Rack ( then I remember the cost) then reality set in, these racks of lamb was soooo delicious. I will definitely get them again. While waiting on our order I had an Old Fashion cocktail which really set the mood. Service: Super amazing service. Ambiance: Brinkley's Chop House is one of three fine dining restaurants that put the fine in the dining experience with a cozy, intimate vibe.

    Steak Tartare
    Lori R.

    When I write these reviews, obviously it's important to consider the quality:cost aspect. Certainly, an inexpensive pizza place can still have 5 stars even though you may never get what you would in a high end Italian restaurant because you can't compare apples to oranges.. So with that said, the food was decent but I think it fell short compared to what it cost. Two appetizers, 3 total drinks, and 2 entrees were about $265 (not including the tip). The food was decent but did not wow, though I do feel certainly that the ambiance was great and it would be a nice place for drinks. The view of the stadium was very fun as well. The steak tartare was very good, not the absolute best I've had but absolutely the best that I've had from this area. The burrata was tasty as well. The steak was the duck fat marinated ribeye, it had way too much salt so it was a bit difficult to appreciate its true taste. The summer in Italy drink was delicious, they did a nice job with it. Here's the other caveat, I had serious GI issues for about 36 hours following the meal. I don't think it quite qualified or felt like food poisoning but it was brutal. I'm never one to call out of work and I didn't but I was concerned that's where we were headed. I'm not sure the cause of it but it does make me somewhat hesitant to go back. Service was slow but our waiter was very nice, attentive and considerate. Overall, there are some perks and some downsides. Again, great bar vibe and fun views, but probably wouldn't do the whole meal again.

    Tuna tataki
    Angela H.

    The food was pretty good. I ate off of the appetizer specials menu. I had the chilled sesame ginger tuna tataki and the meatballs. The one thing I didn't like, and you need to be aware of is that there is a 3% up charge if you use a credit card. Usually this wouldn't be an issue but I was traveling for business and I had to use my corporate credit card. That 3% charge put me over my per diem. That's why they didn't get 4 stars.

    Caesar salad
    Kim A.

    This is my second visit and I enjoyed it. From the valet service, to the deliciousness of our food, it was an exceptional experience. It was not jammed packed like it was during my first visit. This time it was well spaced to enjoy a private meal in an intimate setting. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable of the restaurant and what it had to offer. I was curious of the meatballs after seeing a picture of it online and it did not disappoint! It was delicious! My daughter and I were celebrating her 27th birthday and I wanted to give her an experience. Brinkley's didn't disappoint. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Delicious Cesar salad with anchovies and bacon
    John S.

    One of the most expensive meal options around, the steak, atmospheres and staff are worth the price. Skip the tiny tasteless desserts.

    Basque cheesecake
    Jessie Y.

    I heard good things about this place so I've been wanting to come here for a long time. Does bread not come with the meal or is it extra charge if we ask for it? No idea because the waitress did not clarify and we therefore did not get any bread with our meal. The wagyu tasting appetizer was very mediocre and in my opinion not worth it. I would choose other appetizers instead. The hangar steak and filet mignon we got were both perfectly delicious. My filet didn't come with the potato croquette as promised and I had to ask for it after I noticed. When it finally came out, the potato croquette was basically a plain fried mashed potato ball. If you have the option to switch it out for another side, please do. We got the basque cheesecake for dessert and it was also very average. The end of the dinner left a bad impression when we were presented with the dinner total without an itemized bill and an additional credit card processing fee. After we asked for a receipt, they realized they charged us for an extra drink, which wouldn't have been caught otherwise. Also what's with the extra 3.5% credit card processing fee? This is supposed to be a high end restaurant, not nickel and diming people over a $200+ bill.

    Risotto (a bit under), stawberry and peach salad with salmon (probably my favorite out of our meal that night), scallops, oysters.
    Melanie S.

    A little sad they no longer have tini Tuesday and wine down Wednesday on our recent visit bit we still enjoyed our meal. Our food came out quickly we got a lot of things to share. I think the sides are a good size for sharing. I love that they have bread pudding have different flavors that change all the time.

    We had a date night to brinkleys and I enjoyed myself. We opted for outside seating instead of inside. The drinks were amazing. The service was great. Our server was extremely attentive & knew the menu well. We thoroughly enjoyed the tomahawk & to no one's surprise we didn't finish it lol. The server boxed it for us to go & we finished it the next day. Overall 10/10. I will be back!

    Scallops
    Danica F.

    Incredible ambiance and standout service! Tanner was very professional, communicative, and friendly. The restaurant was beautifully located at the beginning of North Augusta and across the canal. Parking was just a little walk away but they also have valet available. Scallops, pork chops, cheesecake, and fried green tomatoes were delicious.

    Mezcal old fashioned
    Creighton F.

    First experience was not bad. Alan if I remembered correctly was entertaining at the bar. The lobster bisque was very off. I haven't had anything of that consistency ever. It was a very gritty texture. However my chicken dish was delicious and the mezcal old fashioned yummy. I love how the baseball stadium is connected. Next time in town I will visit again and try one of the steaks.

    8oz Filet Mignon and creamed corn. The Brinkleys Butger with mashed potatoes and Calamari. Macallan 10 years and Prosecoo w/vanilla vodka.
    Amber V.

    The service at Brinkleys is always top notch, the food and presentation are another level of amazing cuisine. The layers of flavors mixed with great company and even better alcohol keep me always coming back for more.

    Good friends, great food

My wife got the black eyed peas jambalaya and two of us got catfish platters, one fried and one blackened. My wife didn't eat a lot of her meal because she said it was too spicy, but she's a spice wimp so I'm not holding that against the restaurant especially since I never tried it. My daughter's blackened catfish was very salty. Our fries were very salty but good. My catfish, fried, was excellent. I would have liked to give a 3.5 but couldn't and my fish was so good I just couldn't give a 3. I'd eat here again but only fried catfish for me. I could see myself eating here at least once a month. Bonus: after dinner take a walk along the waterfront.

There is plenty of parking. I'm not sure why it's called "at the river" bc I didn't see a river. There is inside and an outside enclosed area for seating when you enter from the parking lot. It is decorated like a casual bar and grill. My server was in training but friendly and worked alongside his trainer head server. For beverages, I ordered the oyster shooter and that Bloody Mary did not disappoint. I also had a Black Raspberry Margarita. This seems to be a thing in Augusta for Margaritas as well as this was the 2nd restaurant I went to and had this. The other place was better though. But let's talk about the food! The catfish was super tasty. They gave me fries although I didn't order them, and of course I still ate them. I had a side of baked potato salad. I should've asked why they're baked, but that was just okay. I had the TASTE OF BEAMIES- chicken & shrimp gumbo, black eyed pea jambalaya, shrimp and grits, my fav's in order were the chicken and shrimp gumbo, the shrimp and grits, then the black eyed pea jambalaya. I also ordered the 1/2 dozen Rockefeller oysters and they were amazing. The hush puppies that came with them were just okay. Overall, I enjoyed this meal.

    Brunch is serious business in Augusta and after one visit to The Brunch House of Augusta I…read morecompletely understand why this place stays packed. While in town for the weekend my husband and I wanted brunch somewhere unique to Augusta instead of another chain restaurant, and after scrolling Yelp and seeing all the glowing reviews we decided to give this Black owned, family operated spot a try. I noticed online that you can make a reservation for a $20 fee that gets deducted from your check. At first I was a little surprised, but after seeing how busy this place is, it makes total sense. We decided to roll the dice without a reservation anyway. When we arrived on a Saturday morning there were already several people waiting outside. There isn't really an indoor waiting area, so the hospitable hostess took my name and phone number and kindly asked us to wait outside. Later I noticed the sign explaining the process. She quoted us a 40-minute wait, but thankfully we were seated in about half that time. Inside, the restaurant is quaint and cozy with a classic diner feel complete with counter seating and booths. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. If you have a larger party, there are a couple of outdoor tables that appear to accommodate around six people, but personally I think this spot is best enjoyed with a smaller group. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly despite the busy brunch crowd. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles while I went with the Garden City breakfast bowl loaded with veggies and home fries plus a salmon croquette on the side. Every single thing tasted homemade and full of flavor. This is what Southern comfort food is supposed to taste like. My husband said the chicken was seasoned well and fried perfectly, and the waffle paired with it beautifully. My breakfast bowl reminded me of the kind of breakfast my grandma used to make, comforting, flavorful, and cooked with care. Portion sizes were just right,  enough to leave satisfied without feeling miserable afterward. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. Stellar customer service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere. If I ever find myself back in Augusta, this will absolutely be one of my repeat stops.

We arrived a few minutes before our reservation time and was told sorry there has been a mixup we don't have any tables. It will be 20 minutes. We could not wait as our son had an appointment that morning. So they told us we could sit outside at a folding table and get our drinks and place our order and they would sit us when the table was open. We said ok. After getting very hot and bitten over and over with gnats we walked up to hostess stand to see when our table would open. She was calling in a party to be seated. I asked why are they being seated when you told us next open table since we had a paid for reservation. She said ooops that was an error. She said but another table will Open in 5 minutes or so. We were so uncomfortable in the heat and gnats that we asked for a refund of our deposit. It seems as if The place is very mismanaged. The coffee is light brown water. To say we were disappointed is an understatement.
