At Edgar's Grille, we offer New American cuisine with a Southern flair. Elegant dining in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Outdoor dining is available year-round in our spacious courtyard. We proudly feature locally sourced ingredients.

We not only serve delicious food, we serve the community.

Edgar’s Grille is unlike any other restaurant in the Augusta area because a portion of every dollar you spend goes toward education programs, including support for Helms College. In addition, Helms College culinary students receive experiential learning opportunities through service at Edgar's Grille.

From the second we hit the restaurant we were met with exceptional service! The hostess greeted us and noted it was our anniversary, letting us know our table was all ready for us. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, gave great recommendations, and consistently checked on us. The food itself was phenomenal- highly recommend the crab stuffed catfish! Overall it was a dinner to remember!

Had a great experience at Augustino’s. Sabrina was a great waitress. I ordered a steak medium rare and it came out perfect. My wife had the salmon cooked medium and it was also perfect. Atmosphere was beautiful too. Thank Augustino staff for making our dinner date great!

My wife and I ENJOYED our annual Christmas dinner at "The Chop House! Our waitress, Sydney, was GREAT! She was excellent at multi-tasking, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our calamari/shrimp appetizer was piping hot and tasty. My wife LOVED her Pomegranate Martini, and my draft Miller Lite was ice cold. My Filet and my wife's Prime Rib were tender, seasoned, and delicious! This restaurant is a TREASURE!!

We love this place! Great atmosphere and food! Service is always slow so if you are in a rush this is not the place for you. Food, drinks and just overall sense of vibe makes the wait worth it IMO. Btw- one of the best places for wings in the area, both on regular nights and brunch!

Everything was splendid. The food, Bison & Scallops, were wonderful, as well as the Brussel sprouts. The service was very courteous and on top of everything. The atmosphere was a little loud at times, but it was a full house and everyone was enjoying the holiday spirit. Will definitely be back.

Summerville

About the restaurant

8595 is a welcoming and approachable fine dining establishment located in the historic Partridge Inn. Led by Executive Chef Jeff Hairston, 8595 is proof that culinary creations can be as personal, powerful, and engaging as any work of art or piece of music. Every locally sourced ingredient, dash of spice, and delicate garnish blend seamlessly to put a modern twist on traditional southern cuisine.

With dishes ranging from duck fat fried chicken to shrimp and grits and a 60-day aged porterhouse steak, the deliciously distinct results stir the soul and harken back to the jubilance and vibrancy of Augusta’s days as our state capital.

Experience 8595... the flavor of Augusta.
