Came here for the fried chicken and the special ice cream sandwich. Both were very good. The ice cream sandwich is only available right before the masters tournament. The mac and cheese wasn't great but everything else was good. I will likely be back. No real ambience. Kind of feels like an empty fast food restaurant. read more

Wife Saver lost a customer today. The chicken is just fried chicken but tasted as it had been brining in a vat of salt for a week. The Mac and cheese was old been cooked just warming. When I lifted the lid the cheese came up with the lid. I was trying to get food out of convenience after running errands. read more

First off, they change the prices of the kids menu. He said the online prices are different than the in-store prices. It's the same amount as an adult. The food is awful. No flavor and dried out. The pork chops are not pork chops. They are cubed pork steak. This is overpriced for the quality you get. I definitely wish I could have received my money back. read more

2 things that make me angry; an employee that blatantly breaks the rules and having to wait for them to put their cell phone down to take my money. Went through the drive thru a little while ago. Both happened. I believe there is a sign in the restaurant that employees are forbidden to use their phone on duty. read more

Wife Saver catered my daughter's wedding and were exceptional! They handled set up and break down and wrapped a "go-bag" for the Newlyweds. The food was great and so fresh. Thank you!! read more

The food was seasoned well and there were two strands of hairs in the mashed potatoes. I was not pleased or impressed. I tried calling the business to inform them of the hair in the food, however no one answered the phone. I was trying to get food out of convenience after running errands all day, however it is not convenient when I have hair in my food and the receipt states that a receipt and food are required for refunds. At that point I was too tired to drive back up there on the same day. read more

Warning long review! - lonnng wait time to receive food and it's not because the food tastes the best. Most people ordered "to go" and waited quite a while for food. I saw one person leave in disappointment of the wait time which isn't told upon order. Chicken - needed flavor. Cooked well. Mac n Cheese - depends on your tongue. I thought it was watery. My guests that were with me also said the same and that the noodles were probably overcooked. There was an elderly in my group that said the mac n cheese was very good. Fish and shrimp - no seasoning what so ever. Broccoli - watery Hush puppies - dry and no flavor They had loads of customers. One customer told us that the stew was very good. I did ask an employee where the restaurant got its name from. The owners great grandmother or grandmother told her husband the idea to start this restaurant for women who didn't have time to cook. Hence the name. The restaurant was quiet for the large amount of customers and environment was mostly clean. I wouldn't eat here or any other of its branches. I would suggest giving it a try for the experience. Your taste buds could be different from mine! Enjoy. read more

Still waiting for food that should be ready. Hopefully it will taste ok Location could use a lil updating Most decore.. has dust you can see From a distance read more

Great service! Nice , friendly staff Clean restaurant Stopped in to get food for my parents and they were very helpful.

I've been eating at Wife Saver for years. Everything is cooked to order. I'm never disappointed. My go to is the jumbo shrimp, chicken tenders and the wing dinner. Everyone raves about the Mac and cheese and broccoli casserole. Meh, they're just ok. Both could use some work. The cabbage, Lima beans and turnips are pretty good and of course the fries and onion rings. I'm not too fond of the remaining veggies so I can't say. The desserts are ok. The winner is the banana pudding. There's plenty of room in the dining area. The drive through sometimes has long lines but they work pretty efficiently to get everyone served in a timely manner. A good place to eat to get home cooked style food. Beware, Sunday's are pretty busy. They do offer online ordering. read more

I got the 2 piece roasted chicken. I can honestly say this was really "good" eating. The cornbread was delicious. They have their own sauce which was better then the A-1 that I initially wanted. I will revisit this southern cuisine. read more

I was very pleased with my lunch. My food was delicious, hot, and so flavorful. I can't understand the reason for the low ratings, but Wife Saver has been an Augusta staple since the 1960s, and I love their food so much. I always have. My chicken tenders were hot and crispy. My Mac and cheese was rich and delicious. I just hate it was such a small amount. That could be better. The cabbage was also awesome. I loved it. It tasted homemade. They are a good, Southern hometown spot. Give them a shot. read more

Overall: 4.17/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5 Would come again: Yes! I think Wife Saver is the best place to get fried chicken in Augusta! Their chicken strips are superb, and their honey mustard sauce is amazing. Their sides are great too, especially the Mac and cheese and cabbage. They are not very expensive either. I highly recommend and would definitely get food from there again! read more

Good food offerings on the menu. Great quality and size of pieces. Work on the pricing to create better value for the customer.

Good evening, generally I don't get on here to talk about establishments and things of that sort but when things aren't correct I have no other choice. spending money in regards to supporting local restaurants and when we get to orders, things are not what we ordered or what today my fiancé had purchased two orders from DoorDash for this location when we received our orders one was missing the cornbread, and one side, the other was a whole meal, but they gave him baked chicken instead of fried the fries look like they were sitting under the red light for several hours like a handful less than even that like more like a kids meal portion and was missing his extra chicken, his other sides and his drink, banana pudding, and 2 veggie sides also. As I said this location has to do better with customer service and making sure people pay their hard-earned money and things should be placed in the boxes correctly. It wasn't even a busy time of the day. Forgetting more than 5 things is crazy work for me!! I'm disappointed and upset but they have to do better.! I love the food there but again they have to do better. read more

I really wanted fried chicken and as I was driving down North Leg, I spotted Wife Saver, so I decided to stop. I've never eaten there, but I'm willing to give anything a chance. I went through the drive-thru and it was REALLY slow, I waited about 15 minutes to finally place my order and another 15 to finally make it to the window. Once in the drive thru, there is no way to get out of line. I told myself I hope this food is worth the wait. I ordered the 2 piece white dinner with fries and fried okra. My food came out smoking hot. The fried okra was crispy like I like it and it's the best fried okra I've ever had. The chicken on the other hand was crispy, but lacked much flavor. It also needed the fat trimmed from it. I love fried chicken, but I despise eating chicken that isn't cleaned properly. I may give them another chance, but next time I'll be sure not to go thru the drive thru. read more

Ironically, I heard of Wife Saver in the Atlanta Area when friends told me I had to check it out when I visited Augusta again! I didn't know anything about what Wife Saver was all about, so when I got inside, staff happily walked me through all of their menu items. I decided on fried chicken (although you can get bbq or baked as well) and got their three piece mixed meal ($9.99), and later saw their banana pudding, so I had to get it too ($2.19) The combo meal I had came with a leg, a thigh and a breast. Let's get one thing out of the way....these guys can cook fried chicken! It was crispy, not super greasy, and really loved every bite. The meal came with two sides and your choice of bread, biscuit or conrbread muffin (was told to get the muffins). For the sides I got fried okra and potato salad. The fried okra was REALLY good. Crispy, well salted, perfect! The potato salad was actually not very good at all, and I didn't finish it. The muffins were also just okay. They came with two muffins, I ate half of one and didn't bother with the rest. Banana pudding was pretty decent but not as amazing as it looked or what I wanted. Not a ton of banana chunks, vanilla wafers were not crispy, and while it was good to try, my quest for the perfect banana pudding is still ongoing. Parking here is easy with their large private lot. Getting in or out of either exit/entrance are both fairly easy and there's a good amount of seating around if you want to dine in. Customer service was just fine, informative, and from walk in to leaving with my to go order took just 10 min I think if I didn't get the banana pudding, and got a different side Versus their potato salad, Wife saver would've been an easy 4 stars for me, because the fried foods WERE delicious. It was just the additional items I had some differences of opinion with, so i'd give them a solid 3.5, but no rounding. That's just me though. Go check them out! read more

Absolutely delicious fried chicken. Good service. An Augusta treasure. Get the apples!

This is the worst place I have ever ate at. The food is really, really gross. I had the chicken dinner (nasty) with Mac n cheese( bland, gross and not cohesive) and broccoli and cheese casserole (nasty and wet). I was pouring water out of it. The sides came in a container you sauce in. Very little container for a side. My husband had the chicken fried steak and he didn't like nothing about his food as well. Even the hushpuppies was nasty. $18.54 a complete waste of money. Don't eat here!!! You have been warned read more

Highly recommended by the friends I was visiting here. We all decided that gizzards is what everyone wanted at the hotel. Got there and saw the menu and it went left. I ended up with the Jumbo Shrimp Dinner w/ Okra and Mac. I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp and the okra. I didn't love the Mac and cheese. It wasn't flavorful and it kinda dry. The brown sauce that they give with food is phenomenal. I didn't even open the cocktail sauce. I Okra was crunchy and nice. I also tried my friends gizzards and those were just as expected. The only let down is that they didn't season the batter/breading used to coat the gizzards. read more

I've been to various Wife Saver restaurants since we moved to this part of the country. Pharmaceutical reps loooove to bring this when catering lunches for our offices. The food is usually savory and delicious and tonight was the usual stuff. My issue is that the wait in the drive thru: it took 23 minutes to creep forward to the order box and an additional 25 minutes to have the food brought out. If this was the only time something like this had happened I'd likely brush it off. Unfortunately, every single foray through drive thru has ended in a similar manner. So, delicious or not, no more Wife Saver take out (unless it's delivered by the rep). read more

I ordered a fried fish and shrimp combo w/hush puppies, cole slaw, and steamed cabbage. Everything was pretty good quality and served pretty quick, even though it was a peak time (1pm on a Sunday). The steamed cabbage was actually the highlight - super flavorful and I'll just get it doubled up for my side next time. read more

Well, for the food it was amazing, we were not sure what to expect with that name, but catfish all day sounded like a place to stop and eat. What did we get cat fish, crayfish and a good show. The staff got into a fight and we're sent home. Can't wait for the next show the next time we come back. read more

I've been eating Wife Saver my entire life, and continue to love it. The food is consistently good, delicious/crispy chicken, and a variety of items for a family to choose from. Excellent choice for pick up to feed a crowd. Cash, and his staff, always go above and beyond to make your meal, or event, just perfect! read more

Horrible experience. Arrive and they lost the Togo order. Staff member throwing trash at the food in plain sight of customers. Meanwhile customers are waiting extended periods for their trash infested orders. Luckily ours was not on the side the trash was being thrown at. Get home. Large order of Mac and Cheese missing from order. Call them to get a refund for their mistake and they refused. Insisted I get back out in the cold, rainy weather to come back and pick it up. I will be filing a dispute with my cc company. Will NEVER eat here again. read more

I NEVER had a bad meal from here. My favorites are the 4 piece chicken tender dinner or the 2 piece white dinner. I live their mac n cheese, lima beans, turnips, I can go on. Don't forget the banana pudding. This restaurant has been around for as long as I've been living and I see why. Good, down home southern food at a reasonable price!!! read more

Ha, you have to love the name of this place! I had no clue this little local chain of diner type restaurants existed until recently. If you are fan of southern fried chicken, catfish, nana pudding, blacked eyed peas, mac n cheese and sweet tea you will feel right at home at this place. Their chicken is good, really good. Large portions of perfectly fried and not greasy goodness. This location has a drive-thru and I'm told the others one do not. Since their chicken is fried to order I recommend using the drive-thru for your chicken dinner. Ambiance is a bit sterile but our server was super friendly and order was brought out fairly quickly. They have a brisk catering business. Prices are super affordable. So yeah, what's not to like?! read more

Always fast and always fresh... This is my favorites spot for fried wings and broccoli casserole... Love the tea but not the banana pudding lol... This place is always a hit with me... No pics because it's gone lol read more

Food was average in taste, and many of the side items were sold out. The price was decent and the portions were average.

Don't bother! The food was cold and overcooked! Tough pork chops, terrible Mac and cheese, cold and overfried chicken fried steak! They were out of both cheesecakes! And apparently the place is run on Friday night by teenagers. I would not recommend this place. The good reviews are in the past! Sorry! read more

I recently moved back to Augusta and made a Wife Saver run. The food as sub par. The thing that sticks out to me is a sign at the drive through stating "short staffed." I equate this to "you pay your employees crappy so people don't want to work there." Maybe figure out how to pay employees a living wage and all experiences would be better. Will not be back. read more

Fabulosity!!! I was looking for some good Southern cooking and I found it in August GA!!! This place is amazing. The food is absolutely FABULOUS. Hands down the best in this town. I would not have thought that this little "fast food like" place would be great, especially when I saw the drive thru, but looks can be deceiving my foodie friends. The Fried chicken was cooked to perfection AND crunchy. The chicken fired steak a wonderful yummy goodness with gravy and the greens..... THE BEST I have ever tasted (and I have tasted some really good greens) This is definitely a place I will be back to. Thanks Sissy for introducing me to Wife Saver!! read more

Service was good and the cashier was very quick and polite. The only thing wrong was the banana pudding. It didn't taste anything that I've ever eaten. The cookies and whipped cream were good but the pudding itself was nasty. Next time I'll try another dessert. read more

The best fried chicken and chicken liver you have EVER put in your mouth . Also the Mac and cheese is awesome also.

Customer service is terrible; service is also extremely slow. Whenever I put in to-go orders, it's double or triple the time they tell me. I got there today to pick up a to-go order and they were rude, no apology, just "debit machine down." "Nope. No cards." They could have called me. They have my number. I will never be back. They've lost at least thirty dollars a week from my business. read more

We really wanted to like this place, but there was nothing satisfying about it. We ordered one catfish dinner and one fried chicken dinner. The fish was bland and undercooked. The macaroni and cheese was abysmal in that it was barely done. The fried chicken wasn't seasoned, and it immediately made my stomach hurt. The black eyed peas seemed to have come from a can, and no effort was made to jazz them up. The person preparing our food didn't out the fried okra in our bag so we can't comment on that. The corn muffins were grainy, and the hushpuppies were gummy. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place. For context, we went to the N. Leg location. read more
