This is a small town place so the service is personal, the menu is pretty good and the beer selection is excellent. Now if you're looking for a big chain experience, this ain't it, but if you're looking for solid food, great service and a good vibe, come here. read more

Had dinner at Sugar Shane's in Augusta Ks on Monday 11/24/25. Ordered the seafood basket. The fish and coconut shrimp were over cooked and dry. They were out of cocktail sauce. Waitress never came to refill our drinks. I paid for the over cooked dry food and the waitress was quick to charge me. Yes I did leave 1/2 the fish filet and 4 shrimp uneaten. Worst dinner I've had there. Not sure if it will be our last time to support local!! read more

Fun local atmosphere with yummy fried pickles. Shane was fun to chat with too. Great referral from the locals. . read more

Honestly a pretty solid lunch spot and the waiters are super kind and it's a nice atmosphere, went here with my buddy for lunch and we enjoyed it read more

Got an order to go. Our order was shorted by a side order of fries and a dessert. We called the restaurant and were surprised that they offered to bring the items we were shorted to our home, which they promptly did! Son-in-law LOOOVVVED the chicken tenders and raved over them. The chicken fried chicken was over-cooked and chewy. The okra was fine. None of us cared for the freezer fries. The dessert cheesecake that they kindly brought us went uneaten. It just did not taste fresh or yummy. Frankly, we tossed the fries and the cheesecake. But, we felt that their effort in remedying their mistake with our order coupled with the three-day's-long raving over the chicken tenders served to redeem the experience. *Menu said in our meal's description that rolls were "available upon request". We thought that implied that they were included in the meal cost, but we were charged extra for them, so just be aware of that. These were also not homemade, but we did like them. We would order chicken tenders and okra again. read more

We had great food there tonight. However we lost our server after the meal was delivered. No drink refills. No asking if everything was OK. No asking if we wanted desert which we did. I had to ask for boxes. I had to ask for someone to run my credit card. On top of all this the owner's stepson stood behind our both rattling off Mother F's so our 10 year old daughter could hear it. Food might be better to go. $70 I wish I hadn't spent. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Such a great spot for lunch. The vibe is on point and the food is always FRESH.

Energetic and helpful services staff. Great small town dive with coastal vibes. The ruby of downtown Augusta, maybe the unofficial city community office and watering hole. Great burgers, huge chicken strips and cold cold beer. Places like this often fail in one major area, fryers. I hate eating something out of a fryer at a small town eatery and it tasting like last month's oil. I've eaten at Sugar Shane's dozens of times and have yet to walk out wanting to suggest they clean their oil in the fryers. This to me is huge read more

I updated from four to FIVE stars today- 12-4-2024 - lunch. The best chicken tenders in the Wichita area I've EVER had and I know chicken because my uncle owns one of the main chicken restaurants in southeast KS, where they KNOW fried chicken and Sugar Shane's chicken tenders are right up there. Now, if they'd just make some german style potato salad and german slaw to go with the chicken. Service was great, food was delivered hot, mashed potatoes and gravy were also spot on. Good ambiance. read more

We had great service and I loved the flat bread Mac and cheese pizza! The vibes really make you feel in paradise! read more

After driving a 12 hour day from Albuquerque, I asked my Airbnb host for a suggestion on where to eat: so here I am at Sugar Shane's Café. So I stopped for a nice dinner: small battered fish with onions and coleslaw. Just right. The batter on their fish & onion rings is very light and crispy. I do recommend. Fun stuff here and friendly wait staff. read more

Meh. It was okay. Servers were kind but service is questionable. I initially received the wrong order. I notified the server as they put it down then watched them serve the same basket to another table. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak. read more

Just had a run in with the manager of sugar Shane's, it's been a long day and I just wanted a drink. I'm 23 years old and never once had a problem with my Texas ID. I went in for a drink and the manager refused to serve me, stating that my drivers ID had looked nothing like me, although I have plenty of friends in the area that claim otherwise. He did not scan my ID nor believe me after I showed him older pictures of me. He was very dismissive and argued that I was "not worth the risk". I also happened to notice that during my stay he was very friendly with the younger girls working behind the bar. Not sure that's a good a look on the company. Told me to go to the Mexican bar instead because they 'might' serve me there. Complete waste of time. read more

Fish and chips were excellent, place was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. But the food was the best

I heard about Sugar Shane's from my realtor and the FB groups we joined before moving to Augusta. Been several times as cooking isn't easy when you have to unpack, we have only been here a little over a month. Cheeseburgers are fantastic, the onion rings to die for lol Chicken fried chicken super good Flatbread pizza needed more time in the oven, not crisp - hopefully they will read and adjust cooking time or temp! I am not sure what a Monterey is yet, it's one of the specials Chicken noodles were ok, didn't seem hot enough as the mashed potatoes were super hot, just being honest. Chicken tenders are crisp and yummy The staff is great, super friendly and make you feel welcome Oh how could I forget ‍ banana cream pie was delicious read more

Ordered take out, BLT w/fries & Fried Mushrooms. You would think, that couldn't be a fail, but it was. They cut our BLT in half. Each half had a 1small piece of a bacon (about 1 1/2 in long)with a whole bunch of lettuce, & 1/2 a tomato slice served dry. They gave us no condiments, or cutlery. The mushrooms are supposed to be served w/ranch & we got nothing. It was a great disappointment. read more

Great night out spot, place to watch a game or family outing. Southern style cooking with a Kansas flare. Great location in downtown Augusta. read more

Home cooking, great food! Nice downtown atmosphere. Great place to meet friends and hang.

Seafood Night was a huge disappointment. The person that seated us was nice but she was also bartending. There were empty tables and at least 4 waitresses that walked by us and took orders from people who arrived after us. I finally walked to the bar and asked if someone would take our order. About 45 minutes after we arrived we were served our food. The hush puppies were good. The crab cakes were good but were served dry. No remoulade at all. My husband's fried cod had an odor and taste he didn't trust so he left them on his plate. The snow crab claws are just like the ones at a Chinese buffet but maybe not as good. We asked to have a reduction on our bill to compensate for the fish but that did not happen and no one, NO ONE, even talked to us about it. And all this cost us $100. My husband was born on the east coast and visited there often as a child. He has fished all of his life, so he knows when fish and seafood are off. Our advice is to save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Travelling from Missouri, we happened onto Sugar Shane;s. The food was exceptional, only overshadowed by the excellent service. The servers were friendly and really on the ball. We ate their 5 times while in town for 4 days and was astounded that the quality of the food, and the service was spot on each time. It is the first time I have ever had rolls brought to my table that were too hot to handle -- not just once, but each time I was there. We had a different server each day, and while Casey was our favorite, each one was on the ball at all times. If you are anywhere near Augusta, take the time to look this place up. It is really quite an oasis in the restaurant world today. read more

Went to this restaurant today. I'd say it was very good. Had a salad and a BLT sandwich. The waitress was very good. Said she had been working at the place since she was 15 and she is now 17. When we first arrived we sat down and you can get on your phone and join the surf club and get a free order of onion rings so we were right on that :) . They were the best I've ever had (dipped in buttermilk and homemade). All my friends agreed about the rings. The side salad was very fresh and very tasty and the BLT sandwich was good. My friend got the chicken fried STEAK and said it was a bit tough and would try the CHICKEN fry next time. She really liked the gravy on it though. My other friend got a burger with guacamole and said it was good. read more

There are several pages of menu items to choose from. The Big Boy Burger has it all. They weren't kidding about serious appetite! Pizza, steak, pasta, they have it all! We enjoyed the selection of cheeses for our burgers. The triangular cheese curds were delicious! The onion rings in a stack were outstanding! So glad they have a multi-option menu restaurant here! read more

Great food !!! Nice place!!! A lot to choose from on the menu!!! Staff is very friendly and nice!!!

Average. Everything was average, food, service and decor. It was surfer/beach theme decor and nothing special not even done well but for a small town it was fine. read more

As an out-of-town visitor, I wanted the cafe to be fun and good. Instead, it took forever to get seated. The wait staff went by me numerous times taking forever to get my order. Took even longer for me to get my order. I ran out of time and had to ask for my meal to go. When I opened it, there were no utensils or napkins. Since the place had a surf vibe in Kansas, I ordered fish tacos. They were nothing to get excited about. I don't even want to tell you how I had to eat my cole slaw. Sugar Shane's was not fun or good. It wasn't even close. read more

A neat place in a neat little town. Average good with an above average atmosphere. Menu was a little basic but the staff was great. This was my second trip in. read more

The staff was so friendly this was my first time here I was visiting my aunts. Their food was so yummy. I had the potato soup and a BLT. Let me tell you you can tell it's homemade. The sandwich had the perfect amount of ingredient's and the soup was the perfect temp. Everything was so tasty I would recommend this and will definitely go back when I go visit. read more

Nice place and good service but the food is lacking. I got the fish wrap and it was terrible maybe the rest of the menu is better.

Not a bad burger. Fries were cold. And their credit card machine tried to charge you extra. Service was great. The wait was average. Will return but not soon. read more

First time there and it was great! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Menu has a good variety, something for everyone. My husband had the sirloin and I had fish and chips - He said it was the best he's had for a long time - The fish was lightly breaded , seasoned and fresh. Very very good! Generous portions, had some to take home! Lots of seating, very clean and inviting, even has a banquet room for events and they cater. We will make the short trip to Augusta from Wichita again real soon! read more

Food and service is great! And these are business owners who give back to the community with their time and money. It's important we support local restaurants or Augusta will return to being 90% fast food. Thank you Sugar Shane's for your commitment to Augusta- even through the pandemic! read more

Tonight was steak night with a side of shrimp skewer lots of food and very delicious sorry I forgot to take a picture

We tried this place a few times before giving up. Poor service and food is not quality.

They tout them selves as world famous. If I were gonna lie like that I would make it less impressive, so people believed it. I guess it could be Augusta famous, but only because Miller's 5 has went down hill since the sold it years back. On its best day the food is mediocre. It's not terrible, but not worth the money they are charge for it. read more

Can agree with a few of the reviews about customers not being a priority. My wife and I visited awhile back and I wouldn't define what we received to be "service," as our waitress basically brought our food and drink and that was about it. At the time there was a "party" in another part of the building, but not enough to warrant an entire staff servicing them. I think we spent close to 50 before tip, but the food was nowhere near worth the price especially due to the service. Not overly impressed after all the good I had heard prior to my visit. read more

Such a cute little place and the food was pretty good as were the prices. Loved looking at all the decor and the shop next door. Also liked that the place wasn't very loud read more

Stopped in on the way through town since this restaurant had 4.5 stars. Service was good but food blah. I had a grilled pork chop, again no flavor. Kids had chopped steak which was a burger Patty and had to request the gravy mentioned in the menu. My husband had a hamburger that he said was decent. For $60 would have expected more. read more

Was not impressed. Waited a long time for waitress to come take drink orders. Several tables that were seated after us were waited on first. Waited even longer for the food that came out cold and bland. My chopped steak tasted like a packaged frozen burger, yuk. The only thing that was good was the fried okra read more

Nice place for a meal while traveling. Very friendly, easy to find ( on State street), food is good. Full menu, said it was chging next week. A lot of room, even counter seating for a few. Historic building, has a patio,but we were there in winter, my guess is very busy in summer. Recommend for lunch and dinner. Weekends have breakfast, but we haven't tried that. read more

Great place I stumbled into that had a multitude of gluten free options which is not always the case in rural Kansas. I hope to get back there some evening for dinner and a drink as it looked like it could be a fun place in the evening hours. read more
