Arsenal Tap Room + Kitchen — Restaurant in Augusta

Arsenal Tap Room has become one of my favorite restaurants in all of Augusta. The food is tasty, the drink selection is diverse, and the environment is relaxed. I’ve eaten there on three separate occasions and the gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches are worth your time. I’ve tried a couple different options and they’ve all been good but I usually end up going with the Deliverance. The selections of breads, meats, and toppings are enough to get you thinking but not so much to leave you spinning. I’ll also say that their tots are incredible. Regular is fine and paired with their beer cheese dip is amazing, but the sweet potato tots are, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever eaten. Pair them with caramel sauce and you’ve got something unique and exciting. One caveat, I’m pretty sure the menu says they come with bacon bits, but I’ve never seen bacon bits in my tots. Still totally worth it but who’s to say the bacon wouldn’t make it even better. The drink selection is quite diverse and you can find a decent selection of foreign and local beers, draft, bottled, or canned. The décor is cozy but fun and looks like a well kept locals’ pub on the inside while utilizing multiple outdoor spaces modeling what could be described as a southern style beer garden. There seems to be plenty of space and you could probably put a couple tables together outside if you needed to do something for more than four. The staff is knowledgeable of the menu and beer listing and can definitely provide recommendations if you’re not sure of what to get. They’re friendly as well and the speed of service is healthy. Arsenal Tap Room is in the historic Summerville Area, in between I-20 and the Downtown, half-way between two main roads, Walton Way and Wrightsboro Rd. It’s between Augusta University and Daniel Field airport, right across the street from St. Mary on the Hill Catholic church. Because there’s parking up and down the street on both sides and most of the stores nearby operate during morning and afternoon hours, parking should never be an issue for the dinner and evening beverage crowd. I believe they only do lunch on weekends so I can’t speak for parking then. Everything was well kept and clean, including the bathrooms. That being said, I think there may only be one or two individual bathrooms, so on a busy night, you might have to wait a little. Every time I’ve been there, there’ve been a reasonable number of patrons, though not so much as to feel crowded and the volume levels were always reasonable. Lastly, the restaurant is easy to find online and they do have online menus with prices included. As I said before, Arsenal Tap Room is one of my favorites in town and it’s a place I would take folks to experience Augusta if they were passing through town for...

I have been here on several occasions and absolutely love the vibe of this taproom! They have comfortable sofa type lounge seating, bar seating, community table seating, barstool seating, and a beautiful, enclosed and heated anoutdoor patio seating. They have several beers on tap and in bottle/cans; all which you can view on the Untappd App! They also have a great wine list and full bar . Their food is also great. Today we shared the Loaded tater tots with ranch (cheddar, beef Chile, crumbled peppered bacon, fresh jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions) and they were crisp and perfect. Love the Chile and jalapeños that came with them. In past visits I have had their amazing seared ahi Tuna nachos with wonton chips (a chefs special), their fried pierogis and the arsenal grilled cheese which all have been delicious. I like this establishment so much that I came in to buy a gift card to give a friend of mine for Christmas! In the process they shared that they were offering an amazing deal on their gift cards for Christmas. if you buy a $50 gift card you get an additional $10 on that card or a separate card. We decided to use it for ourselves hence why we splurged on the loaded tots and couple of beers. They also are offering $20 gift card if you purchase $100 gift card. Amazing deals!

The staff is amazing. Our waitress was so knowledgeable and helpful. I wish I caught her name. Will definitely be back. Make sure you follow their social media as they post their chefs specials which...

The food was amazing the drinks are delicious from the mixed drinks to the specialty beer. We came here for my brother's birthday. We tried the blackberry mojito... the garnish is necessary since they don't particularly muddle the mint and berries but once you do it yourself the drink woke up. We also tried the Tuscan sandwich and the Philly they were both AHHHHHH-MAZING! They were really fresh and good cuts of meat. We also had a build your own grilled cheese which was equally delicious but their special sandwich's are the star of the show. We also had pretzel bites they were ok. I'd get them again but they weren't anything special. We also had corn nuggets they were very good and I I liked the dip they came with which was surprise. Lastly we had loaded tots and loaded sweet potato tots hold the chili. The loaded sweet potato tots were delicious. The sweet with a little spice, cheese, and bacon was fantastic. The loaded tots were good but you've had loaded tots before and this was that with really fresh toppings but just regular good. The place is set up to be communal on the inside and the inside covered patio. I liked that they had a room with couches where you could relax with friends while having a beer. He wait staff was really friendly and nice but our waitress was slow to check on us. Not sure if it's because it's not meant to be a restaurant but still I would have liked to be checked in on a little more.

Overall, I'd come back for the vibe, the food,...
