French Market Grille: Taste the Essence of Cajun and Creole Cuisine in Augusta, GA

Nice atmosphere. The food tasted good however, the portions were quite small. Like the Jambalaya that was served in a bowl that was slightly larger than a coffee cup. It was also a bit soupy. Whether it's Creole or Cajun, jambalaya is never soupy. It didn't come with any sides either. The service started out great. We were seated quickly and our drink orders were taken quickly as well. Unfortunately, half way through dinner my wife asked for a refill on her water and our waiter didn't come back with the drink but rather the check. By then she had finished eating. And she again asked for the water and he finally went and got it. My wife is from Louisiana and we eat a lot of Cajun food so we know what's good and what's not. This place was okay. It wasn't authentic but I would go back.

We went for a event and there was supposed to be live music. The performer was late and did not really play music that coincided with the event but I won't put that on the restaurant. Service was good but the restaurant was small so it got very loud once more people arrived. The bathroom could use a little renovation but I loved the mirror placement. The food was amazing and the owner is really nice. I believe this is a great place to go when it is not crowded. The way the noise carries when it is packed takes away from the ambiance. Overall I would go back. I would recommend the shrimp etoufée.

The whole lunch was really good and the Seafood crepes dish was very tasty, we highly recommend to pair it with Jambalaya!

This was our first time visiting French Market Grille, and we had an amazing time. It was actually a stroke of luck that we decided to come here, but because so many restaurants are closed by 6pm on Sunday in this area we were very happy that we discovered this place! When I placed my reservation over the phone with Daniel, he made it so easy. I originally set a reservation for 5, but when I called back later and requested it to be adjusted for 7 people he was able to accommodate it without any issues. He was very welcoming over the phone. Our table got to try a bunch of different flavors, and we were really pleased with how fresh and flavorful all of their offerings are. Our table tried the following: She Crab Soup, Seafood Gumbo, Catfish Po' Boy, Shrimp Po' Boy, Shell-On Boiled Shrimp, Blackened Filet, Fried Crawfish and a variety of cocktails. We also tried a couple of the specials that they had that were not on the menu, including: Frog Legs and the Soft-Shell Crab Entree. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food. The biggest thing that stood out aside from the fresh menu was the service that we received from Desmond. This guy was incredible, his high level of service is what you would expect from extremely upscale restaurants. The restaurant closes at 9pm on Sunday and we were there well past 9pm, he was so friendly and truly made us feel like we were at home. We felt absolutely no pressure to leave — and he even offered us desserts as we were finishing up. Desmond encouraged us to stay as long as we needed and to please enjoy our food, even when we asked him for to-go boxes. He visited us SO many times and made sure that we had everything we needed. Desmond, thank you for leaving a lasting impression on all of us. Update 9/24/23: Added more photos from a recent lunch visit and we received very lovely service from Julia! My wife enjoyed her Shrimp Salad that came with Feta Cheese and Kalamata olives — plus the She Crab that is always so flavorful. I enjoyed trying the Fried Oyster Poboy. Very nice lunch portions, super friendly staff, and fresh flavors!

We had dinner there this last Monday for the Masters and had a good time. Place is nothing spectacular, but the service was very good, and so was the food. Our server Nick was super friendly and had great recommendations. The Crawfish Etouffe and the chicken wings were both really good. Good pricing and decent wine menu!

Visited here tropical storm eve we were visiting from out of town and our friend brought us here. I loved the salmon w/capers & oysters! Food was very delicious & prepared with care. Nice selection on the menu. Would definitely return.

We had dinner here after the unveiling of the Black Caddies monument at Sandy Hills! We dined on the delicious gumbo, oyster po'boy, and shrimp po'boy. The food was great! Our server, Will, was fantastic. Will was kind, helpful, and professional—he is definitely an asset to the French Market!
