Delicious Georgia Southern Dining for Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially in the South. A hearty meal is just what you need to get your day started on the right foot. Visit Ruth’s Family Restaurant in Augusta to experience the best of Southern and New American cuisine. This cozy spot is wheelchair accessible and has a casual, family-friendly atmosphere.
Ruth’s brings Southern hospitality to life and transports you back to grandma’s kitchen. The traditional breakfast menu features comfort favorites, such as bacon and eggs, omelets, and pancakes. We recommend Pete’s Trash omelet, which is made with everything in the kitchen, and topped with corned beef hash.
Smoky Traditional Barbecue for Lunch
You can’t visit the South without indulging in delicious barbecue. You can find this Southern classic on almost every bustling street corner, but our favorite is from Smokeshow Southern Style BBQ. This food truck is a popular hotspot at Pollards Corner on Saturdays and Sundays. Enjoy picturesque lake views while treating your taste buds with saucy pulled pork and mac and cheese.
Southern Comfort Food for Dinner
In the South, we put a spin on traditional comfort food. Head on over to Goolsby’s in Evans for dinner. That is where you’ll get to experience the best of the South, with the classic meat and two sides for comfort-style food this area is known for. Try the fried pork loin with the iconic Southern hoecakes, sweet tea, and peach cobbler.
Don’t Forget Dessert!
To round out your Southern-cuisine tour, stop into one of Columbia County’s local bakeries for handmade desserts and sweet treats. You can also drop into Ironwood Tavern for a nightcap. Watch your favorite team play with other sports lovers, or sip on craft beers or southern-inspired cocktails, such as a Mint Julep.
