    We always enjoy Abel Brown’s, yet next time we will request to sit at a table in the extra room. The booth and against the wall is just too cozy with others. The food was very good but low in quantity especially the Scallops for $52 for 3 scallops on a very small grits dish. It was almost an appetizer. And 3 Deviled eggs for $16 was a disappointment. 🤷🏼‍♀️ At least 4 so everyone at our table could have had one. Chardonnay was $18 a glass. Yikes 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Abel Brown is excellent! You will not find a more approachable or accommodating bar staff anywhere else in Augusta - truly nice people 😊. The pork chop entree is 10/10; Smokey, tender and full of flavor. It is a must-try dish! Thank you AB - can’t wait to dine with you and your wonderful people again soon.
