The Bee's Knees
At 211 10th Street. 706-828-3600
This Tapas joint serves everything from Tofu to Pad Thai. Their Avocado Chop Chop is extraordinary, so is their sake mojito. Open Tuesday through Thursday from 11am until 12am, Friday from 11am until 2am, and on Saturday from 12pm until 1am.
Blue Sky Kitchen
At 990 Broad Street. 706-821-3988
An airy, arty restaurant offering a range of cuisine way beyond the norm. Vegetarian options, sandwiches, burgers, chicken, seafood and the inevitable steaks are just part of a list too long to detail. And it's inexpensive too. From the daily special that costs just $5 to $14 for the most expensive item on the menu - blacken Angus sirloin steak - Blue Sky is all about value for money. The service is good too.
The Sunshine Bakery
At 1209 Broad Street. 706-724-2302
No listing of Augusta eateries would be complete without the Sunshine Bakery. The food is good, but basic. The service is quick and friendly. The prices are reasonable. The 1209 Special is one of several sandwiches topped with a special sauce and is a bargain at just $3.95. The Sunshine's Ruben is packed with corned beef, salami, sauerkraut and Gruyere cheese on sourdough bread. Served with a cup of soup, and Thousand Island dressing on the side it's a real value at on;y $5.50. Open daily from 9:30am until 5pm.
