Chef’s House

Ugh, long long wait. We arrived at 1:30 with two folks ahead of us. The lady/​owner/​greeter said we get right with you, but took 50 mins to get us seated, and we had to call them out for seating someone before us who arrived later. No apologies.
This is literally a mom and pop shop with southern comfort food on buffet. Their food is good, and some of the best fried chicken in town. Great mac and cheese, fried okra, and other sides. Small selection, but everything is good. That is IF you can get seated, AND they refresh the buffet while you are there.
This past visit several items ran out, and we had to eat and run. What really irked me is the owner got in my face after she said «thank you for your patience». At this point I’m pretty pissed and chowing down chicken. Then she got in my face and said, «THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE», but no apology, nothing but just trying to play it off and acted like I had attitude problem.
We were the the week before and had pleasant time, but this was one of my worst customer experiences in a while so I have to rate low.

I have been a regular of The Chef’s House for years!
As a downtown worker its easy to get tired of the same old rotation in restaurants but Tammy and George get a weekly visit. From the small PINK cottage, they serve a heaping helping of Southern comfort. There are generally two to three daily entrees as part of the all-​you-​can-​eat buffet to include basic salad bar, London Broil, pork chops, fried chicken, baked salmon, baked tilapia, spaghetti and meatballs, turnip greens, macaroni and cheese, and always a delicious peach cobbler.
As with any business you visit, there will a quirk or two and for me its, the max occupancy around 20 and difficult parking lot. As a renovated house there are two small rooms that serve as the dining area and a buffet in the third. Most of us meet friends for lunch so you can imagine the space gets loud and a little cramped.
Thanks to my extended family and Girl Scout troop, I drive a tank. It can be tricky getting into one of the five spots in front of the lot, maneuvering the narrow path between business to the back especially with pedestrians and parking in the back. Call me a typical woman driver but I like to have some space and do not find Parking Lot Tetris fun.
Will I be back? Absolutely. The quality of food and good nature of family structure — the young son helps out — keeps me there weekly. As a rule of thumb, I dine around 1:30 to avoid to rush and spend time with my tablemates.

I love supporting small, family owned businesses so I visit this place every once in a while and it’s always great. They are only open weekdays during lunch time so you will have to make it there before 4pm. It is a small building (pink house) and they do get crowded so keep that in mind.
The food served here is great and they always have healthy options. Everything is served buffet style so it’s easy to get your fill. My favorite day to visit is Thursdays as the salmon is AMAZING. The veggies are also always good. Your meal is going to run you around $ 12 or so. The staff has always been friendly to me. Definitely a nice little spot to visit whenever you would like a buffet that is not all processed gross food.

Went to Chef’s House for the first time last week. Food and service were awesome. This will be on my list of places to go for lunch every week.

After looking forward to eating at this restaurant I was frankly underwhelmed. The iced tea was clawingly sweet .The fried pork chops were over cooked, dry, and flavorless .The rice was dry and flavorless, the butterbeans with corn was the tastiest thing I tried. I was also served corn bread which was mediocre at best and finished with their «Famous» peach cobbler… canned peaches with a flavorless pre crust dough. This meal set me back $ 12.10 highly doubt I will give them a second chance

This was the best meal I had in my two weeks in Augusta. Great little lunch buffet with the best fried pork chop I have had in ages. Great sweet tea too, a must for a Southern restaurant. And the owners were SO NICE! Visited with our table, had a laugh, and their son that works there is the nicest, most polite young man you could hope to meet. If I’m back in Augusta, you can bet I’ll seek this one out again.

The owner was extremely rude. Got right back in my car before I could eat and left to go somewhere else where the owner might actually value their clients. Judging by the reviews though, it doesn’t look like I missed out on much.

Owned operated by a small family Chef House is a casual soul food buffet lunch spot. Food is great and has top notch health scores. They don’t do really big parties but it is great place to meet a few friends for lunch. You also tend to see a lot of who’s who around Augusta.

Great owners, delicious food and cozy atmosphere. I was throughly impressed with today’s menu and how attentive they were. Amazing.

I dropped by the Chef’s House for lunch and I enjoyed it. The building is bright pink and I’m always surprised when people tell me they’ve never seen it. This is a popular restaurant for many around the 15^th Street/​Walton Way area. The Chef’s House only offers buffet, but has some pretty good and healthy selections.
I had the salad bar, collard greens and potatoes. They also had broiled talapia, but I wasn’t in the mood. The buffet offers fried chicken, pasta, green beans and more. They also had a peach cobbler for the dessert. I believe the buffet offerings change daily, so you can expect variety each time. The only draw back for me is the space. The restaurant is way small. There is not a lot of room for seating or moving about. You can always expect a large crowd around the lunch hour, which means a long wait. The parking lot is also small, but there are additional parking spaces behind the restaurant. However, the Chef prepares good food and for the best experience, beat the lunch crowd.

People who don’t know what The Chef’s House is about do not appreciate it. Simple, clean, healthy cooking is what you get. Lower sodium preparation, no pork, and plenty of meat choices each day. For those who want 250 questionable selections on a garbage-​food buffet, go to Ryan’s or Golden Corral.
Each day of the week, the chef gives at least two meat choices. The green beans and turnip greens are delicious, as is the corn. The baked chicken is very succulent and tasty. Tuesday is roast beef and gravy, baked chicken. Wednesday he serves baked tilapia, fried chicken (yum) and spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs seem to be frozen/​commercially prepared, but it has good flavor. The salad is prepared in a bowl with tomatoes and other vegetables, and extras like olives are available.
I eat here nearly every week, and I am never disappointed in the food. The tea is great, too. Come early or you will have to wait or have trouble parking.

Not for me! Food was cheap and I don’t mean inexpensive… the quality of their food was embarrassing when my friend ate the leftovers. I begged her not to eat the chicken but she insisted. Plastic mac and cheese and canned green beans does not constitute as a meal…
you get zero stars Chef’s House! Do you hear me?! ZERO!
