    Counter seats are the best seats @ruths
    Kris F.

    Whaaaatttt delicious! Friendly and oh my those biscuits. Busy expect to wait. I had the cheese burger fries and a coleslaw it did not disappoint.

    I had grits toast, bacon, and scrambled eggs and it was fantastic. I made a happy plate here. Love the food.

    Ruth is a staple in Augusta and seems like a little hole in the wall but when you walk in the restaurant, it is very big and plenty of seating. The hostess will see you right away and the food is fantastic.

    This spot doesn't look appealing from the outside. It appears to not look great when you pull up. Man o man, we could walk in and seat ourselves, not too busy. A party of 7 was quickly seated... I ordered a broiled salmon patty with grits, biscuit (which was so good by the way) and scrambled eggs. Waitresses were great and attentive! The service was fast and when I say fast and less than 10 minutes we got our food! I will come back

    We decided to try a takeout order. The place was packed and no outdoor seating. No social distancing. I ordered the hungry breakfast, but when we got home my grits with cheese was missing. I ordered scrambled eggs & it looked like powdered egg & definitely not 2 eggs worth. There was a gross watery substance under them. My husband got the chicken fried steak breakfast. All of his food was there. I called the restaurant & told them I was missing part of my order, and they said it was only $1.25 and I could drove back to either get the grits or be refunded $1.25. I said that was unacceptable. So after wasting 30 min on the phone she refunded the $1.25 + the tip. You can get better food at the Waffle House, and I hate the Waffle House. I will never go back here and I don't know how it has the ratings it has. Absolutely terrible.

    A long time favorite of ours, Ruth's is a hometown institution. A modest and unassuming place for breakfast with terrific food and friendly atmosphere.

    This is a great local find. We're visiting our college student at Augusta University and this is worth a repeat. Best service EVER. Everyone makes sure you are taken care of. Loved the food. I got the Irish breakfast and it was delicious. I would get the gravy on the side next time- because the hash was delicious. Fluffy and light pancakes - up the extra coins for blueberries!!! If you don't stop in that's your loss. Feels like a country kitchen and you're treated like family.

    This spot was a minute away from my hotel on a recent trip to Augusta. Try as I might to resist,…read moretemptation got the better of me one evening and I stopped by to get a post-dinner treat. They have a number of stuffed and warm cookies to choose from. I couldn't decide on just one flavor and so opted for two! This was a bit of a mistake as their cookies are really large and dense which I discovered when the worker placed the first box with one cookie on the counter before me and it made an audible kerplunk. My goodness! I got their chocolate peanut butter cookie as well as a sugar cookie. When I realized how ample the cookies were, I gave the sugar cookie to the hotel clerk at my hotel, so I can only speak to the chocolate peanut butter cookie. It was sweet and delicious. I will note that their cookies are very sweet. I don't eat sweets often so the rich sweetness of one cookie was a bit much for me. Were I to go again, I'd probably split one with a friend. That said, the cookie was warm and ooey-gooey. It's kind of an inside out peanut butter cup with a peanut butter cookie surrounding a fudge-y chocolate center. If you like a chocolate/pb combo--this cookie is for you! The workers were lovely. I walked in with no familiarity with the biz and the clerk immediately gave me the rundown of their cookies and how ordering works. They were all so nice in here! If you're looking for an indulgent sweet treat, Dirty Dough has you covered! Get to it!

My wife and I ordered chocolate chip cookies and an interesting looking confection Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch. The regular cookie size is big (also comes in mini). The chocolate chip cookies were crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I like that I could taste the butter and the cookies weren't super sweet. The peanut butter chocolate cookie is simply delicious... a must try! Service: Service with a smile, the young lady who served us took her time and explained the menu and how to best order cookies and special orders. Much appreciated. Ambiance: Modern looking and clean establishment.

    Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: 5/5…read moreDessert: 5/5 I came here after visiting the River Walk! I visited this place while traveling on a hot, sunny weekend right when it opened, and it was an utter pleasure. Parking: there's plenty of street parking. I parked right in front of the dessert cafe. Free parking. Ambiance: it's a dark themed place with grey walls, a luxurious plush couch, and a dungeon-ish feel. It's more Halloween themed kind of style than luxurious. It's a cute mix of orange and black-grey themes. There's soft upbeat music in the background. Right when it opens is a great time to go! I nearly had the whole cafe to myself! Dessert: I ended up getting their pineapple cheesecake with cheesecake snow. It was light, fluffy, creamy. It's similar to Korean shaved ice or a lighter Italian shaved ice. It melts in your mouth and releases the sweetness. You can build your own and they have premade flavors such as turtle cheesecake, amaretto romance, cotton candy, vampy sour, orange dream, I love you Cheryl much, Mexican candy, pina colada. I ordered large, and I could definitely finish it all for myself! This is a chain that started in California. They start with a proprietary base, mix in the flavors, freeze it into a block, shave it, and then decorate it. In addition, the worker informed me that some of the cheesecake flavors have a homemade purée, with the strawberry cheesecake being the most popular. I'm 100% visiting again when I come back to Georgia!
