Please do not think I am biased as I am a Aiken native but growing up I never knew about this place until my Best friend and mentor took me there when I was visiting 6 years ago. Since then when ever I am in town I have to come there at least once. I have never had a bad experience there.

When the Augusta Saturday market is open (March to November) you can find him a lot there on Saturdays. Loved a lot of the things I've tried (honestly nothing has been bad ever). I generally gravitate to the black lotus bowl (fried rice with crispy bite size piece of chicken) and the ramen (especially when it's cold out) that you can pick you soup base and what to include (shrimp, egg, jerk chicken, so many other options.) Also love their drinks like the ginger tea and Lemonade. There's occasionally new items so again follow on social media to see what's new. Service isn't always fast because sometimes it's a one man show taking order and cooking the food but 100% worth the wait every time!

We will definitely use him again!!!

My coworkers and I checked out this place during lunch. The menu items are fairly expensive, but…read morepersonally, it was not equivalent of the price we paid; that was also a common consensus. For me, I ordered the steak and eggs. I've asked for the eggs over easy and they came out dry & scrambled. The steak was cooked medium rare as requested, but it was very over seasoned. I tried to scrape off as much salt and seasoning off the top. That was $40 before tax & tip. The over seasoning seems to be a common theme. One of my coworkers ordered the shrimp patty, which is similar to a crab cake. Despite their generous portion size, he only ate 1 of 3-4 patties due to saltiness. Staff were friendly and professional. We were given hand sanitizer upon entry and plenty of seats to dine in. There is a bar and overall atmosphere wasn't too loud.

This little restaurant was very welcoming and full of cheer. I decided on getting the fried fish, French fries and hush puppies. The fish was nicely seasoned and fried just right. Crispy outside and flaky inside. The ambiance is typical of a laid back down home southern restaurant with about 6-8 tables for dining in. I go mine to go, so I could share it with my wife at her job. The people there were friendly and welcoming and I'll definitely be headed back to try more of their offerings.

Today is Wednesday and I got a 10 piece combo (garlic Parm and buffalo honey mustard split) with Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and my bestie got a 10 piece combo(garlic Parm and sweet chili). The tea was sweet like someone's grandma is in the back. The wings... Y'all... You can tell they're fresh because no wing is the same size (IYKYK). These wings were perfectly seasoned and tossed and the fries were perfectly fried. Everything was hot and fresh as well. You know how you bite into something and have to do the "hasheee hash ahh ahh"with your mouth open? Yeah, that's how fresh and hot the wings are. The service was nothing but sweet and positive. The people in the back talk to you like they've known you forever, and I love that. The people there make you want to come back. Good food, good music and good vibes are always winners for me, and I'll be back for fish Friday soon! (I also heard that this is the place to be on Sundays for BBQ)

The food is the real star here. Everything is made fresh, and I was lucky enough to have chocolate-covered strawberries made to order, which were absolutely delicious. There are plenty of paninis and non-panini sandwiches to choose from , and the portions are no joke, so arrive hungry. The drinks are fairly standard and won't steal the spotlight, but they get the job done. Parking takes a little patience to figure out, though there is space available once you know where to look. As an added bonus, there's a nursery and even a petting zoo tucked away in the back, if you're into that. They also host events throughout the year, which adds to the charm of an already pretty cool spot.

Back to Nature Garden center is a lot more than just a garden center! Located in the heart of…read moreAugusta, GA, it is fairly easy to get to and provides a small oasis from the bustle of city life. There are walking trails, the garden center, a small stream running through the property, a little shop, some fun farm animals to see, and I believe they have a cafe that will be reopening soon. They also serve as an event space and it seems well suited to that! The owner (at least that's who I think it was!) was there watering plants when we arrived, just on a mission to scope out garden centers and see what they had. The day we went I was a little shocked by the poor selection of plants and the state of the plants. They had some variety but it was hard to tell as they didn't seem super well organized (or at least just not well labeled). Then many plants looked just unhappy and there were quite a few pots of just soil, no currently living plant inside, mixed in with others. I'm still wondering if I just missed something, maybe what I thought were just weeds growing in some of the pots were actually the intended plant. I'm not really sure, and want to give them the benefit of the doubt! It just didn't look like what I expected from a garden center. We did however see some nice Camelia plants for sale and enjoyed seeing the animals. Their prices seem competitive with Lowe's or Home Depot garden centers, which was fine for the healthy plants but confusing for the not-so-healthy ones. We did visit early in the season (March) which could be a contributing factor but that time of year is also when many folks are trying to purchase and plan for their summer gardens and want to see a little more life in their prospective plant friends! Overall it seems like they are filling many needs in one stop and I admire that, and may make another visit to see how the plant situation compares then. I hate to be a critic but I did truly leave a little baffled by the other customer intensely browsing the what really did look like pots of weeds. And I've spent years working in ag and environmental sciences and greenhouses so Im not a total newbie to the ways of plants. I hope I just missed a memo!
