Definitely don't want to miss this spot. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Food and beer are excellent. We had the ranch popcorn, Thai sesame salad and the Kennebec pizza. Everything was fresh and delicious with lots of great flavors and texture. I had the Long Time Listener (triple IPA) and highly recommend this, it is phenomenal. Incredibly smooth and tasty for a 10.4% ABV! Followed that up with the Et Tu IPA also very smooth and tasty. Looking forward to stopping in again next time we are in the area. read more

Still a level of suck I can't quite put onto a review. Do better. The fact that you have customers is indicative of the lack of variety in Augusta and not based on service. Every time I come here I am disappointed. I literally watched a woman sit here for 15 minutes waiting to be recognized (AT THE BAR) on a Thursday. It wasn't busy. Beer is still meh. They really should take some classes from other breweries in the area. Service: 2.0 Pizza 4.0. Beer 1.5 Average. 2.5. read more

This place was a perfect stop on our drive up north. Pizza was incredible, drinks were great, and our server was full of good tips for where to visit. Definitely worth the stop. read more

I love their beer but have been wanting to try their pizza for a longtime. The crust was great. We had the Sand Hill. I also tried the Smokey Days beer kind of funky, not for everyone but I really enjoyed it. read more

4.5/5 Garlic Bites -- crisp edges, cheesy, garlicky what more can you ask for! This one seemed like a popular app as almost every table had an order. 4/5 Naughty N Nice Pizza -- Loved the flavor of their spicy sauce with the pepperoni and notes of basil! We were thinking about this flavor combination for days after dining here. Personally for me as a NYer, the crust was a bit too floppy for my liking. 4/5 Espresso Martini -- definitely quite strong, wish it had more of a creamy texture. Classic flavor, nothing much to write home about. We were passing through Augusta on a Saturday night, and this spot was very packed! We were luckily seated immediately, but a line formed shortly after we were seated. Loved being seated right in front of the pizza oven, where I could see all the fresh pizzas being churned out! read more

Came here for my mother-in-law's 95th birthday! Forgot to take pics of the food because of the occasion, but everything was delicious with great service and a fun, albeit loud, atmosphere. Of note, garlic knots delicious as was white bean dip. Got the Caesar, harvest and Thai sesame salads- very good and 3 pizzas. All fired in a giant wood fired oven. They put a candle in the lava cake and Gram was well celebrated! read more

Really enjoyed making a pizza with great recommendations. Some really good craft beers. Awesome appetizers and cool merchandise that you can take home. read more

Great pizza!!! Sausage and onions best red sauce get extra on the side. Enjoyed on a rainy day.

This place is wonderful! The view of the river, the decor, the lighting, the tables. The waiters and kitchen staff all such a vibe! I loved the pizza slinger in the Nirvana shirt. My kind of people for sure! Food is awesome here! A jar of bacon?! Wait what! And a beer called Gigantic Dad Pants? This place is FUN! read more

Great service and good food! I went with a group of five and we had a good time. To start, we enjoyed the fire roasted nuts. We also ordered the new garlic bites, which were ok but also kind of bland. The caesar salad was great! It was fresh, creamy, and had a good crunch. The caramelized onions on the Cony High Pie were so flavorful, definitely a standout of all the toppings we tried. The Fort Western was my favorite of the pizzas, the creamy white sauce paired nicely with the mushrooms, crispy pancetta, and fresh arugula. We also tried the Togus pizza, which was ok, but less dynamic than the other options. The basil flavor was minimal, so beyond the red onion, it was just mild garlic and cheese. read more

Recent visit to try the Crab Rangoon pizza. The space is well lit and has a fun Beer vibe at night. The pizzas are named after Augusta places like Cony, Mill park etc.. The waitress was quick to take our order. I did not get a beer but have tried it in the past and it had a good flavor. They also offer salads and appetizers. The pizza came hot out of the oven. It had just the right amount of Rangoon and cheese. It's on the pricier side but I took home leftovers and had two more Meals. Great ambiance, staff and pizza definitely check it out. read more

My husband and I recently enjoyed dinner with friends at Cushnoc. The atmosphere was very inviting. We had the garlic knots and the Togus pizza. Both were amazing! Definitely get the garlic knots!! Our server was sweet and very attentive. All around excellent experience. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Place was so inviting and staff was friendly. We ordered a couple of Pizza's 1)Bond Street which was quite savory with the hot honey and 2)The Maetza which was full of meaty flavors. Along with some IPA's, service was good, place was clean and the atmosphere was nice. Give it a try if in the area. read more

We liked the atmosphere of this downtown Augusta location. Pizza was so good, cold beer, and popcorn. Very nice server.

The food and the atmosphere were really good here. We had an impromptu dinner with 14 people. The staff got a table together for us and were really nice. The Bond Street pizza was the favorite. We will be back during our visit next year - see you then! read more

This pizza is ELITE. The flavors are absolute perfection, and pair perfectly with their hilariously named beers. Our faves are the Kennebec, with a creamy buttermilk ranch and tender chicken, and the Bond St, which has that kick of spice to it. Both go great with the Double Dad Pants beer! read more

The Diner Closes at 2 am is hands down the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life. I'm fairly certain I said those words about 100 times while eating it too! Soooooo good. Of course the beer, service and vibe are all great too. Give it a try! read more

Pizza was delicious. Also had one of their IPA brews which was also very delicious. Would definitely return.

This is not a red alert complaint, but I ordered the Nachos, which the menu states, comes with sour cream free of additional charge. My order had no sour cream. And when I asked if I coulsd get the sour cream. They asked to see the receipt, several times. Then said I would have to pay for it. What kind of restaurant wants to nickel and dime you for a condiment , they offered on menu for free. I guess making the customer, who spent over $50 for the to go meals. Just wanted to bring attention to this. Please correct the online ordering app to reflect that sour cream is not included. read more

Stopped here on our drop-the-daughter-at-college trip. What a great find! The flatbreads hit the spot, and the beers are right up my alley - lots to try and enjoy. As for the service...lovely waitstaff. We sat outside and still got plenty of attention - enough and not too much. We will definitely be back on future visits to the area! read more

We rented their "Meet Me Out Back" space for a group function. It's a very cool space on the inside - exposed stone, brick, and timbers with a long table running down the middle. Family style salads and appetizers, plus delicious artisanal pizzas provide delicious options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. There is a full bar and your own dedicated bartender. read more

What a cool place. Water Street has really developed into some interesting, fun places. Cushnoc Brewing is one of those places. Just a cool place to hang. We had exceptional service- attentive but not intrusive. The food was really great. We started with the popcorn-of-the-day which was dill pickle- I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but imagine salt and vinegar chips with some dill...yum! We also had a cup of the spiced nuts. They were good. Pizza was outstanding- perfectly cooked crust. We went with the cleverly named "The Diner closes at Two" , but we held the eggs. You have to try it to believe it. You have to try this place- you'll be doing yourself a great service. read more

Very exquisite food. Can't put it into words how good the food was. Amazing wait staff and atmosphere. 10/10 would cum again!

Best pizza in Central Maine and consistent. No wildcards. I have only had their pies, so I can't speak to the rest of the food. The ambiance is fun, hip, and chill all at once. Their brews are blah for me, but not bad like so many others. Price-wise, everything is below average cost compared to similarly styled spots in ME. Go and enjoy. read more

The place was practically empty after the lunch rush on a Sunday and we got right in and sat at a window with a river view. Salt and vinegar popcorn was good but not as vinegary as I'd have liked. Pilsner and IPA were both really good. Pizza special was "a-maize-ing" with corn and poblano cream, and it was very good, and balanced. We got a fort Henry also and it was also very good although something on it was surprisingly chewy. Unlikely I'll be back to Augusta any time soon but I'd happily go back. One weird thing - when they bring you the check it has suggested tips based on pre-tax total. After they run your card, the slip has updated tip suggestions based on the total including tax. Not a huge difference but I did notice. When you're paying seventy bucks for two beers, two pizzas, and popcorn, that seems a little over the top, even if it's a glitch. read more

Craft beer enthusiasts, beware! Cushnog boasts a good selection of quality brews, but service is virtually non-existent. We waited 10 minutes for the bartender's (and apparently owner?) attention, only to be met with ambivalence when inquiring about each beer. Our empty glasses sat for another 15 minutes after finishing our beers, completely ignored. Maybe the food is good? Otherwise, skip the frustration. read more

Cushnoc serves up a decent pizza. They have a variety of specials or you can opt to build your own. I decided to build my own with red sauce, mozzarella cheese, and the IPA caramelized onions. I have to say, these carmelized onions are perfectly sweet and delicious. They make a top-notch topping. The pizza itself features a soft, thin, light, airy base and a chewy, charred, also airy crust. The red sauce is flavorful and really elevates the pizza. I also really appreciate that they offer vegan cheese as an option. My wife ordered a pie with vegan cheese and red onions and the cheese wasn't overly gooey (a common weakness for vegan cheeses). It was a good pie and it reheated well the next day too! You should know that the building tends to run a bit cold and sometimes, depending on where you sit, you'll get an air current. I also wish they served flights, but they do at least offer small samples you can try before ordering. Overall, I've had nothing but good experiences at Chushnoc and can definitely recommend it to anyone looking for pizza and beer in the Augusta area. read more
