Limelite Cafe — Restaurant in Augusta

My fiancé is from out of town so I decided to take him to a local spot to try since he is new to the area. He wasn’t impressed with the food or service and neither was I. There’s six people behind the bar and no one comes out to the tables to check on those who are dining in. We walked up to the bar and there was one gentleman wearing glasses taking orders so we could tell he was very busy meanwhile there was another lady who had just finished cashing out an order whom made eye contact with us and continued to ignore the fact that we were waiting to place our order. (I didn’t know you could pick and choose who you decided to serve). This being my second time there and it wasn’t as nearly busy as it was when I first visited so I was trying to figure out why we got overlooked by her although we made eye contact. My fiancé mentioned that when you’re a regular and the servers know you they are more likely to mingle and serve those who come there on the regular which I understood however new comers won’t suggest new out of town people to visit if that’s how they treat new visiteurs. He came, he seen what was needed to see there and wasn’t impressed. The bun from my burger was burnt and both of our fries was a cold as the dismissal from the female bartender🤷🏽‍♀️. I guess I don’t have to worry about taking any more of my military...

this is a urban bar and grill, but it’s owned by Caucasian people. The food is good, but with the drinks they do not have Apple Pay or app That allows you to scan your phone. It’s 2025. They put my friend out for two dollars because she didn’t No, they did Accept phone pay or pay with your phone. They almost got us arrested. It seem very racist, Because I told the owner I can find two dollars In his bar, he refused to accept the two dollars. After they was about to arrest my friend, for 2 Dollars. I thought we explained the reason and causes, That she did not know they didn’t accept Apple Pay or a scan to phone services. We had to find someone lime light to pay the 2 dollars remaining tab so she wasn’t arrested for the negligence of the business not accepting electronic payments. This place is a racist establishment, Establishto control the black Community. In a negative and...

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience was too disappointing not to share. I went to [Bar Name] expecting a fun night out they have karaoke and a DJ, which usually means music, fun, and dancing. However, when we got up to dance, we were immediately told we weren’t allowed to not politely, but rudely and aggressively, as if we were breaking some serious rule no one warned us about.

What’s the point of having a DJ and upbeat music if patrons aren’t allowed to enjoy themselves? The staff’s attitude was unwelcoming and completely killed the vibe. If dancing is against their policy, it should be made clear before you enter — not enforced mid-song with hostility.

This place might be for you if you want to sit still and listen to music at high volume, but if you’re looking for a fun, energetic night out, this is...
