Gary Gibson, owner of two Gary’s Hamburgers restaurants in the CSRA was awoken Friday to calls from his restaurants, after an anonymous person in the group, “Disgusta” said after 40 years Gary’s restaurants would close at the end of September. “That’s totally false,” said Gibson. The group has 82,000 members and allows its members to gripe about issues in the CSRA. Gibson wonders if upcoming, temporary store closings may have caused the post. Due to staffing shortages here at the North Augusta store and the Washington Road store, each store

My Melissa and Lyndee are meat and potato girls. You could call my wife a “filet snob” and my daughter has learned from osmosis (and her taste buds). Brinkley’s Chop House in North Augusta is known for its amazing steaks, but what the Gordons learned on a recent Saturday night is that change can be good, even great! About twice a year, Executive Chef, Ed DeFelice changes the menu to address seasonality. Adding different flavors, textures, and accompaniments to staple non-steak menu entrees like Chicken Breast, Duck, Salmon, Scallops, and

But then, there are those eateries that diners can rely on for delicious meals and fast, friendly service. For me, Metro Diner has always been one of those eateries.

Food Quality: 4 Service: 5 Business Meeting: 4 Value: 5 Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5 I’ve always been a picky eater, but the list of foods I won’t eat is now much shorter than it used to be. I still don’t like mayonnaise or most dishes that are made with it.

That’s what led me to try Another Broken Egg Café on Alexander Drive near Kroger in the Washington Walk Shopping Center. The restaurant, which serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch, offers a wide variety of traditional Southern favorites, such as chicken & waffles, and more unique menu options,
