Rae's Coastal Cafe

We visited for lunch on a Saturday to celebrate our daughter's birthday. The food was really tastey. She and I had the chicken in a flaky pastry. It was served hot and was delicious. My husband had the wings and said they were good as well. The only note I would make to others would be about the restrooms that had shower curtains instead of doors and are in desperate need of an upgrade. The fish tank was awesome. Service was great and they have a friendly staff.

If by coastal you mean the questionable creek that runs behind it then ok. Not worth the hype and definitely not worth the money. Make reservations because if you sit outside you will be swatting flies the entire time! The flies were crazy. I ordered the shrimp and grits and it was the worst mistake I had made all day, besides driving to Augusta to begin with. Never had grits with the taste and consistency of Thanksgiving dressing. It was gross, like really gross. Maybe the cook thought it was dressing. The shrimp were nonexistent and located on the bottom of the microwaved dish. They were chewy and way too pink, probably left in the microwave too long. The pineapple was so hard I could hardly cut it, they should have thrown it in the microwave too. My mom said her salmon was good so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. The server was beyond nice and helpful, even brought us an empty bottle of bug spray to look at. Leave the coastal seafood to the coast, not a building in the middle of an apartment complex in the city.

Went as a date. We were seated in a decent time and at a nice location, by the aquarium. Ultimately the atmosphere and the service were not bad at all. The food was overpriced and tasted worse than a chain restaurant. My girlfriend was taken aback by the taste of her shrimp and grits. My steak and shrimp were okay, not amazing, but the rice and beans left a lot to be desired. I was hoping that, due to he neighborhood and reviews, the food would he amazing but was left unsatisfied. Would not recommend.

Everything was absolutely amazing here! Even though the restaurant was very busy, the food came out quickly and everything we ordered was great! Definitely recommend the Blackened Tuna, Shrimp & Grits and the Jerk Chicken wings. The best part of our experience here was the service we received from Josh, he is all about great customer service!! This place is well-managed..

Rae’s never disappoints!! This visit was for lunch with my BFF and we both tried something different because the famous crab cakes are not on the lunch menu (be sure to ask about the specials of the day!). I had the grilled Maui Maui with Cuban rice and black beans and a small house salad. My friend had the coconut shrimp with the same sides. Both meals were great and the atmosphere is perfect. Rae’s is well with the trip!!

Rae's Coastal Café has never disappointed us. Fine dining, in a lovely atmosphere. Each person we encountered from the Hostess (LuLu), Bartender, our Waitress (Harper) and even the other customers were nice, respectful adults. This place is great for dinner dates, laid back happy hour, just go experience Rae's if you haven’t already it’s worth the buck! The food is SLAMMING! Kudos to the chef!
