Augusta's classic dive bar with delicious burgers and cheap beer. Yes it's dingy and the decorations are mostly old junk -- that's part of the charm.

Since this is further down Broad Street, it's easier to get a table than at Mellow Mushroom on weekends. Nice quality pizza plus salads, appetizers and a good drink selection. We recommend ordering by the slice -- it's a good value and you can try more more than one kind.

Hip coffee shop with sandwiches and other breakfast and lunch options. Spacious patio is a great place to hang out. They have a full bar so feel free to get a mimosa or bloody mary with brunch! (They inexplicably close at 2:30 pm though, so don't get there too late)

Really delicious hot sandwiches and fries. Made to order, so be ready to wait 15+ minutes for your meal. It's about the only place for late-night food downtown, so it starts hopping around midnight and goes until 2 am!

The name makes it seem like a beer-focused bar but it's a surprisingly good restaurant. If you're craving pub food this is the place to go. Some of our favorites are chicken wings, fried mac & cheese bites, schnitzel, pretzel with beer cheese, and rice bowls.

Beautiful network of walking trails through forest and wetlands. Locals love to take photos on the expansive boardwalks that go over the water. There's a visitor center with educational information about the plants and animals in the area, plus a playground for kids. Free to visit, great for families or walking your dog.
