Augusta's favorite home cooking restaurant in historic downtown.

"Really good burgers. High-quality ingredients. Friendly and accommodating staff. Clean, well-decorated restaurant. I've been here three times and ordered three different burgers (Haus burger, B&B Burger, Wild Turkey) and they were all very good. I also had a bite of my wife's andouille sausage dog and it was very tasty. The first time I tried the fries I thought they were average but the last time I had them they were seasoned with cracked pepper and were much better. They also have milkshakes, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I have not had one of their alcoholic shakes yet but the Oreo shake was incredible." - Yelp
