I know I hide my country upbringing well (aside from the accent-it is what it is), but have no doubt it's still there. I'm talking the kind of country that grew up on homemade biscuits and fried bologna, syrupy sweet tea and banana pudding out the oven, vegetables from the garden or from the jar (but before that, the garden). Yep, rocking chair on the front porch with a fly swatter in one hand and slice of watermelon in the other. So when someone posts a review about the quality of the country cooking here and photos of cornbread and a porkchop, you know I was a bit skeptical. I perused the menu and saw that fried chicken (the true test of country cooking) is only served on Wednesday's. So on a Wednesday I made my maiden voyage to the potential land of newfound love. Like other categories of restaurant/cafe, I have staples with which to test the overall quality. That day; the aforementioned fried chicken, mashed potatoes (or taters if you're from the South), green beans, a square of cornbread, a slice of lemon cake, and a glass of sweet tea. Now before I walk you through my tastebuds visit to heaven let me backup and get you to the front door. Plug the address into GPS. It is tucked away in a corner, hidden behind another restaurant, and sharing a parking lot with yet another restaurant. Like I said, use your GPS. Parking was a challenge at lunch so come early. When you walk in, the line forms to the left hand side and may already be backed up to you. But if it's a first visit, that'll give you time to see everything on the hot bar (written on the glass directly in front of you) and decide on which dessert(s) you want. Those are in the cooler in the middle (ranging from a slice of cake to slice of pie to banana pudding). After ordering you'll continue moving to the right until reaching the register. After paying, drinks are against the right hand wall. I personally recommend finding a seat in the "overflow" section (that's what it looks like to me). You'll find it around the corner, with four person tables awaiting. There are a few outside, with umbrellas, if the weather is right that day. Now back to my food ecstasy trip. I asked one of the team members floating around pouring tea just how sweet it was. She said something about "...cups of sugar" and the rest was a blur. I already knew it would be on point. I shared how I grew up with it leaving a sheen on your lips. She chuckled and stated I should be satisfied then with theirs. And I was. I had to slow myself down due to the knowledge too much before eating will leave you feeling nauseous. My lunch arrived, but it did not rest upon my plate long. I sampled the sides and cornbread then went straight for the wing. The chicken breast soon followed. I came up for air just long enough to get a refill of tea before intaking the lemon cake. The balance of sweet and tart, the airyness of the icing, and the moisture of the cake were all pure perfection. I debted going back for a slice of the strawberry, but already felt a food nap approaching. I am heartbroken that this was my first visit (as it has been around since 2017), but my wounds shall be healed with the application of more (and more) amazing food. Stop by today! Or at least the day they serve a item you really love. And don't forget dessert! Sidenote: With the fried chicken, you can choose between light or dark meat. read more

Food was good. Served quickly and everyone is super nice. Limited seating. Its not fancy but good diner food.

Food was very good and curbside for handicap people such as myself is friendly and accommodating!

I met a friend for lunch and I was really surprised at this place. Definitely not fancy but really good food. I want to go again with my husband this time. I like that it is in North Augusta and I don't have to go into Augusta. read more

Got takeout for lunch. They have daily specials that comes with meat and 2 sides and roll or cornbread for $11. Can add a drink for extra $1 (drink was huge so worth it). Food was good and flavorful. It's good southern home cooked food. Will definitely go back again. read more

Can't hide the fact I always love good home style cooking! I often enjoy to treat myself to one of their meals when I just want to feel like home and not worry about my diet. Recently got their sirloin and I couldn't complain at all! I love being greeted with smiling friendly faces as soon as I step in the door. Plus it's a great place to bring family or sees friends at! read more

First visit, it was ok. Nothing special. Lacking in flavor and a lil pricey. AND to get charged $1.01 to use a debit card is ridiculous! Who the heck carries cash these days? Gave me a terrible stomach ache almost immediately. Don't plan on visiting again anytime soon. read more

The Purple Hull - Meat & 2 sides - Farmers Market Near Me - North Augusta, South Carolina

I had a ribeye steak that wasn't cooked the way I ordered it. If you are going to cook it the way you like, why ask me? Why do they put salt shakers on the table? The only thing I had that wasn't salty was my brownie. And the brownie was so tough that I wouldn't be surprised if I learned they left the batter mixing over night. i don't recommend coming here. read more

I came here about a month ago and I wanted to try the Hotbar. But they didn't have the hot bar meal that I was looking for that day so I went ahead and tried the double hamburger with fries and drink. And I was not disappointed the food was good and the service was excellent. Next time I'll make sure to try the dessert. read more

I never review but I was so disappointed I felt I had to. My dad brought me lunch to work. I've been to Purple Hull a few times and always enjoyed it. Today was a different story. For my $8 BLT I received: 1 horrible slice of tomato, Half a piece of clear lettuce & chalk burnt bacon. It was also suppose to be toasted. My plain white grocery store slice bread was not toasted at all. The undercooked floppy fries topped it off. Disappointed. Felt someone needed to be made aware. Either you need more help because your business has grown or someone in charge of food quality that goes out. If I would have been given this while eating there I would have returned it!!!! Important note: my father ate off the buffet with a co worker while this order was made so it wasn't rushed. And brought to his table while still eating. He didn't check it bc he is a trusting person. read more
