I think we were over charged for our meals. I didn't realize until we had already paid. Also the wait staff told me not to pay until I put a tip on the check. I had planned on leaving a cash tip on the table.

Chef Sean A. Wight’s vision of an affordable yet stylish dining and social club is born in Frog Hollow Tavern. Located on the 1200 block of Broad Street, the space is a modern “Restaurant meets Bar” where a diverse crowd of people enjoy the company of others paired with a comfortable atmosphere, detailed service, and exquisite affordable cuisine.
Expect a dinner menu that features a substantial amount of local and regionally grown seasonal quality ingredients, and menu that offers unique libations, which encourages an active and lively upscale bar scene.

Sheehan's is always a great dinner spot when we visit Augusta - we love that it is located in a small commercial area close to Augusta State. The wings appetizer had great flavor, and our server (Tristan) was very helpful in making appropriate dinner and dessert recommendations. The swordfish special offered an excellent flavor combination as the glaze paired well with the fish and mixed vegetables. The donut sundae dessert was just the perfect way to end our meal. We will definitely be back!

I don’t usually go out for dinner on Thursday nights but I was craving the cowgirl ribeye at Becks. It was delicious, juicy and made me very happy. Perfectly cooked medium rare. The beet salad, sans beets, is a huge salad and well composed. Next visit I want to try bar top service. Really enjoy this place. Great service, very friendly.

My party consisted of family aged 36 to 80. Everyone raved about the food and all the servers/runners that attended to our needs. First time dinners and the experience was so much fun!
