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.

The steaks are always amazing! And the pork shank was delicious too. The pecan pie and tiramisu were very good.

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!

Wonderful evening. Menu is diverse and inventive. The wine choices are exceptional and there are plenty of values there if you take the time to look. I cannot think of another place where I can get cuisine choices that vary from Germany, to southern, to Hawaiian.

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.
