    Bland, need better sauce
    Sm H.

    Ehh not sure if I would go again. The food was all right, nothing spectacular. Lacking in flavor on the veggies and the barbecue. Fountain drinks are a little pricey. I thought I saw online that they are "discounted" when you got a meal, but that was not the case. Pretty cool atmosphere though. Brad was an excellent server, very charismatic. He definitely made lunch better.

    Updated review , it took again forever to get my food, not sure why. Each time I order a burger and sweet potato fries. It is disappointing when your lunch mate has to sit there and either chow down in front of you or sit there and watch their food get cold.

    Grilled pork chop with Mac & Cheese, mash potatoes, and Cornbread
    Lauren B.

    I come here a lot and usually my visits are great! This visit, my pork chop was very fatty and honestly just not very big for how expensive it is. I am hoping to give this place another chance and try it again.

    The STAR of Fat man Mill's Cafe! Plus some great chicken sandwiches!

    What a great spot for lunch! We both had fried chicken sandwiches. Banana pudding for dessert. The food was great but the STAR of the restaurant is Stephan. (Hope I'm spelling his name correctly) He greets, brings food and a beautiful warmth to this restaurant.

    Located in a historical brick building and off the beaten path. It's a great lunch spot downtown with a lot of different options! The catfish is fresh and fried perfectly and the Mac is on point too.

    Chicken Josh's Grilled Chicken & Feta Wrap
    Bea M.

    I usually get the traditional southern food when I go here but today I thought I would try the chicken wrap. I am SO happy I did. It is not like your traditional chicken and feta wrap ! It is warm and delicious and ...I honestly can't get the words together to describe how delicious this wrap is. I will definitely be going back and bringing my family with me.

    First time experience. For the price (a modest $100/person), I would expect better. While the…read moreserver was sweet and mostly attentive, she never told us about the specials, forgot a drink and we had to ask about the bread. I ordered the Australian Wagyu , it was okay, tasty but not tender. The side faux potato was awful. My partners pork chop was better. The crème brûlée was the best part. I'm still wondering if I would have preferred one of the specials. For the price of this meal I can go to other places such as Frog & Hen, or Cork & Flame, and get the crumbs scraped off my tablecloth with a knife. Sorry, but when a customer arrives expecting to pay top dollar for a meal, they expect the meal, the service and the atmosphere to be too notch as well. Brinkleys didn't hit that mark.

    My friend recommended this place, so I checked it out for my birthday dinner and left not only with…read morea full stomach, but an amazing experience. They have a valet system, so no worries about parking. Staff have been very professional and friendly, so 5/5 stars for that. I ordered the 8oz filet mignon, medium rare. Steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly! It came with asparagus and mashed potatoes covered in a crispy layer of batter, which all complimented the steak well. I tried their tuna tartare, which had an interesting take on what the tuna was served on. I've always been used to tuna tartare being accommodated with bread, but this was sushi rice compacted and covered in some light batter. Felt like I was eating tuna sushi. Apply some of the sauces it comes with and seriously was fantastic. I also got to try 4oz of their Japanese A5 Wagyu. Super expensive; $80 dollars for four ounces, but worth the experience. You cook the thin pieces over a hot stone and apply some of the seasonings like salt it comes with. I cooked each side for about 30 seconds, sprinkled some salt, and it melted in my mouth! I ended my meal with their carrot cake and it was moist, not overly sweet, and had a great savory taste. I really enjoyed my time here and certainly will be back again. There is a bar and at the back of the restaurant, you can see the baseball field. Restrooms were clean, but only one stall from what I've seen in the men's room. Overall 5/5 steak house experience.

The service was absolutely top-notch, the food was excellent, and the ambiance was certainly very mellow. Our server, Cassandra, was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Sarah was very sweet and nice to talk to. Everyone had a great time and loved the food! I can say we are fans and definitely coming back. Thanks for making our dining experience wonderful. Especially my parents, they hardly go out to eat and loved their meals.

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.

I also asked for Horseradish and got a small cup, perhaps a teaspoon. Skimpy. In fact, I felt for what I paid was nowhere near worth the price. My wife even commented the portions were so small. The food reminded me of pub food. Funny. I told my wife I dont care for pub food,. Well..... Now the Key Lime Pie was great, and the waitress was very accommodating and nice. Great service. We sat in the enlosed porch, thinking it would be quieter. Nope. In fact, I had visions I was at a convention. My wife and I had much difficulty conversing. I guess we chose the wrong place to sit. And no, there weren't many patrons. It was an experience. Expected more. Doubt I would try again.

Parking was its usual Broad Street challenge, yet once inside there was plenty of space and an easygoing rhythm to the dining room. The only real hiccup was the slightly counterintuitive flow of things, since you order first and then find a seat, and I wasn't the only one who walked in and paused awkwardly until someone pointed out the process. I've said for a while that you should stick to what a place is named for, because ordering chicken wings at a pizza shop or a barbecue joint has burned me more than once, but tonight I ignored that rule and it turned out to be the right call. Mrs. K took down my side of fries with enthusiasm while I focused on the wings, meaty and generously sauced, the kind you finish without a second thought and then sit back with a local beer feeling like you made exactly the right choice. Every single one was worth it, no regrets at all, a small delight tucked inside a busy Augusta evening. I did see two of those massively stacked burgers get delivered to another table and while I was a little jealous, I know that having it without the bun wouldn't have honored it the way it should be. Maybe when I'm not on keto. [Review 228 of 2026 - 928 in Georgia - 25417 overall]
