Our waitress KeKe was amazing! The food was spectacular. I'm so sorry I ate it without taking a photo. I had a wonderful meal, so unique!

Black Bean soup

My son introduced me to this restaurant a few months ago and it has now become one of our go to places for lunch. The Banh Mi turkey sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted. The Chimichurri steak sandwich is outstanding as well. Pair any sandwich with the soup of the day and potato wedges and you will leave with a smile on your face. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service is outstanding as well taking place in a nice, open and casual setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . I highly recommend this establishment!

Being an Augusta native who no longer lives here but visits frequently.. I got excited when I found this place. A restaurant marketed as vegan in the heart of the south? No way, I thought.. My friends and I decided we would get a few things and share it amongst the table. A bottle of sake, a few different sake drinks all of which were excellent and complimented the food well. For food we got the plantain tacos, kimchi pimento cheese, salmon sliders, spicy edamame, the big dill & the empanadas. Everything was flavorful and very good, but there was about a 25 minute delay from getting our edamame, tacos & pimento cheese to the rest of the order... including a lack of service from our server - who doubled up as the bartender. The $$ is also pretty steep, but maybe worth it for an occasional kind of thing ($15-20 a plate)- fits in with the rest of Surrey Center. Highlight was the chef/owner coming out and asking how everything was and apologizing for the delay/being short staffed. Brownie points for that. Gorgeous interior & very welcoming. Will return, just maybe sit at the bar or go when you don't have any other plans for the evening :)

If you'd look and think it was a fast casual type of place, I did get my food reasonably fast, but it was quite a splendid interior at this highbrow shopping center near the golf course and definitely an upscale experience. A vegetarian-friendly menu yielded my Cuban Bowl, which delivered all the flavors you'd hope for, with plantains, pickled onions, pineapple, and my personal favorite black beans. Adding tofu yielded some deliciously crisp, freshly fried stuff. Their drink menu was separate and on a stand on the table so I missed it. It is an expensive bowl, so I can only say if you want an expensive bowl with microgreens on top in a hip, upscale setting, this place delivered the fresh flavors and quality I was hoping for.

Love friendly Whitney!!!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience. A[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service. A Food. A Price. A Found in Surrey Center. Next to Calverts! Lots of parking in shopping center. Came for Friday lunch. At 1:00 today. Lots of items ie rice and greens not available with the dishes. So came out and made substitutions. They do have gluten free options. Ironically we came out for out GF friend as he always seems to order salads and another firmed thought he would order something different. Ok, he got the salad with romaine and he put salmon on top. He said it was okay. I loved the smoked turkey sandwich. Lovely tender thick cuts of smoked turkey. Like the kosher pickles. Had The Detoxifier beet juice. Very refreshing. Overall loved out server Whitney. Very accommodating and helpful. I would come back I'm a FaN!!!

Kimchi Pimento cheese
Lauren H.

Really good and plenty of healthy options, unique flavors. We had the kimchi pimento cheese and the special (6 wings) for starters. My husband loved the garlic Parmesan wings. The scallion pancakes were crispy and delicious with the pimento cheese. Such a cool fusion of a southern traditional food and Asian food. For entrees we split the vegetable lasagna and the sol food burger special, a spicy Philly impossible burger. The burger was messy to eat but tasted amazing. The lasagna was solid, but I would try the cauliflower as a vegetarian option next time. It came with a delicious roll that was crunchy with pesto inside. A bit pricey for Augusta but worth it for a fun date night.

Tofu scramble, vegan sausage, home fries, biscuits, and vegan gravy.
Leslie M.

Why in the world have I waited so long for vegan brunch?! Y'all don't sleep on this like I did. I've only had a couple of things, but that's enough to make me want to come every Saturday. It's not 'fast food', so don't be in a hurry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's worth the wait and the atmosphere is super chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love all the plants and stained glass.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Mediterranean Bowl
Christian W.

The food was very fresh and tasted great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was super cute and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, the service took a considerably long time. I was giving the workers grace because they seemed a little short staff, but then our server just became a bit moody and rude. I am not sure what happened but by the time our checks came out, she seemed like she really didn't want to be there or serve us. This was my first time coming and I am very sad this was my first impression of the business.

Dining area and Bar
Linda S.

This is a mixed review for us so I'm going to break it down into areas. The Restaurant - 5 This place catches your eye as soon as you walk in. It's clean, warm, organized well, and decorated wonderfully. It is very impressive. A nice place to relax with friends. The Wait Staff - 5 We were greeted and seated promptly. We had Shelly. She was a delight and top notch. She checked on us and helped us make our decisions on what to order. The Service - 3 There was one other group in this place when we went but it seemed to take forever to get our food. If you plan on dining here plan accordingly, give yourself plenty of time for the dining experience. The menu - based on preferences. Limited and unique. A lot of vegan and vegetarian options. The taste of food - 4 The food tasted good but nothing exceptional for us. The shepherd's pie had ground lamb. The Apple Crisp was a little chewy. Value of Food - 3 I ordered 3 items and my bill was $44 before tax and tip. Although the food tasted fine, the portion sizes were a little on the small size. This may be due to the level of ingredients used in the dishes or vegan meals are just more expensive. This restaurant was not our cup of tea but I do think someone who is after vegan/vegetarian meals may love it. It was a super cute place.

Boozy smoothie
Christina P.

I stopped in to try their Happy Hour and left having a new go to spot in Surrey Center and Augusta. Solfood feels like you transported into a little world of it's on filled with colorful paintings, plants plants and more plants, and kind friendly people. I sat at the bar and had the best bartender who answered all of my questions and gave suggestions on what to order. We got their boozy smoothie, which I was nervous about at first, I'm normally not a frozen drink girl, unless I'm in the sun (I'm not a monster), but dang, this one changed my mind. It was the perfect balance of booze, strawberry and banana. The bartender referred to it as an adult gogurt and that is spot on. The edamame, THE EDAMAME! It was so freaking good! Spicy while also hella flavorful and the perfect bar snack. I'm already daydreaming of my next trip to get more and they provide you with the cutest homemade hand sanitizer to clean up with after. I'm obsessed.

Chicken Salad on Croissant, Black Bean and Butternut Squash Soup
David G.

Great discovery traveling on way back to Atlanta from the SC beach. Worth the trip into August and do stop by this restaurant, a healthy choice from all of the fast food places along the way while traveling I-20. This may become our go-to pit stop on the semi-annual trip thru Augusta to the coast. Hostess and owner were fabulous giving us a history of the restaurant and describing the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was right for a nice, quiet meal for the journeyer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Salmon Succotash !
Karen L.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything about this place was absolutely inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entrance patio is so cute and private, and makes you feel like you are having dinner in a romantic garden![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly, and the food was better than what I had imagined for it being my first time here! First of all, do not pass the opportunity to try their empanada. It was the fluffiest, most gourmet version of an empanada I've ever had lol. I ordered the salmon for dinner, with a mustard cream sauce along with a bed of vegetables that wonderfully come together and left me more than satisfied with portion size. Solfood Kitchen knows what they're doing, and I am so glad I tried this place.!! Also, they have weekly specials that I need to come back for!

Brunch menu
Valencia B.

23 Local Restaurants in 2023! Saturday I went to The SolFood Kitchen in Augusta, GA at the Surrey Center. This was #1 of 23 and it was a great way to kick this off! So Here's the Review: Location: great, parking was okay. It was Saturday at 12 and I only had to circle the parking lot like 2x. And if you know the Surrey Center, they have tons of restaurants and shops so I was glad Staff: Latasha and I were greeted and asked where we wanted to sit. The hostess was kind and helpful. When we made the choice to sit at the bar the bartender came over immediately. He was super nice and knew the menu to help me decide what to eat. Atmosphere: If you know me, you know I love jazz music, and I even love it more if it is live! So I was shocked to see a live band playing there when we first walked in. I should have gotten the name of the band So this spot is a must return for me! The bartender said that they have live music every Thursday, so I will definitely have to revisit this place. The decor was simple and the plants and lights on the ceiling where a great touch. Food: I honestly was not sure what I was going to get, but I decided on The Big Dill, and let's just say it was a big deal. I did not finish the sandwich, but I did get a to go box and finished as soon as I got home. I ordered a side salad, but the sandwich was the main attraction. There were tons of gluten-free options too! Overall: This restaurant had a great inviting atmosphere, and the food was memorable. The combination, including the live music, makes this a place I can see myself visiting often. Shout out to LaTasha for coming with me. One of the most hard-working people I've ever met with such a giving heart. We always have great conversations, so I am so glad that we got the chance to talk, and eat! One down and 22 more to go. Who knows what's next. @thesolfoodkitchen #Augusta #AugustaGeorgia #ShopLocal #LocalRestaurants #SmallBusiness #Review #RestaurantReview #CSRA #surreycenter thesolfoodkitchen #yelp

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!

Easy enough to pick up an online order for us to share. The cookies were ready for pick up very…read morequickly. For the price of each, they were pretty good. The regular cookies they have seem to be a little less overwhelming. Warm sweet treat on the go, open on Sundays.

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!

Came here because of a recommendation from a dear friend and am so happy to have tried it. This was…read morea refreshing after lunch treat. The service was awesome, treat was delicious and the decor is beyond cute.
