Great food, great service. We sat outside on a lovely night and was a nice dinner. Recommend it.

This was my first time visiting Manuel's. The food was good. The Kobe Beef Burger was good. Bunch ended just before I got here. But I will come again and try brunch. The service was also really good. If you wanna come for brunch, for sure look up there brunch hours. They do offer both outdoor and indoor seating. I came on a nice sunny clear day and sitting outside would have been perfect. For those who are gluten free, I asked if they have any gluten free options since it's not on the menu. There sandwiches and burgers can be made with gluten free bread. And for breakfast they can have gluten free toast.

Cozy cafe with delicious food. Came by for Saturday lunch. Service itself was mixed- when we walked in they asked if we had a reservation and asked if we'd like to sit in or out. Then another staff said if we didn't have a reservation we would need to sit outside. Then the first person said there was a seat available inside and the other person said we needed to finish in 45m because there was a reso coming in...we said OK but it seemed like she really didn't want us there. Our server was actually super kind (the first person) and we liked her. We ordered the French onion soup, special sandwich of the day, and exotic burger with fries. Everything was really good - best french onion soup we've had. My sandwich was delicious with tender chicken and smoky grilled veg. Portions good. Husband enjoyed his burgers, fries were a bit soggy. I was a bit worried about the 45m time limit but each time I checked in they said don't worry about it...an hour passed and we were not kicked out and there was no pressure. The initial encounter in the beginning definitely left a weird impression. We would return if we are back but seems like there may be some miscommunication or differences in expectations among servers.

I'm just moving back to the area and I decided to try out Manuel's Bread Cafe for lunch since it's a newer restaurant that has opened since I lived here. I had read all of the positive reviews and I know the area in Hammonds Ferry is super cute. Our waitress was very attentive, polite, and helpful. I ordered the French onion soup which was delightful and I got a salad with salmon as my main. Both were exceptional and I will definitely be back to try more menu items.

Food....flounder fish... both of us the portions, the taste, the presentation. Highly recommend Dumpy Lunch or dinner Birthday...anniversary.. just because. Yes.... we will return

Phenomenal experience tonight! Started off with a bottle of red and the poutine fries. Then shared a perfectly cooked steak au poivre. These both all delectable. Finished the night by splitting a piece of a homemade cake which any slice is unbeatable. Service was outstanding with great recommendations by the waiter!

Manuel's Bread Cafe is situated in the more upscale and cute part of north Augusta and is one of the most reliable and pleasant places to have brunch, lunch, or dinner in the area. While their indoor seating can get a little cramped, their outdoor seating is fantastic with both umbrellas and fans for those sunny days and heaters for the colder ones. On one frigid morning while we were there they even had some blankets for us to use! Food is fantastic, and my personal favourite is their burger which is an unbeatable deal. Workers are all so nice and very accommodating to people with basically wild toddlers :) This place is expectedly very popular, so walk in seating on a weekend is basically impossible. Be sure to snag a reservation!

$41.25 (food: reuben sandwich, french fries, Hawaiian croque. Drinks: water, Modelo Especial) Manuel's Bread Cafe monologue: I drove over the bridge from Augusta, Ga. I thought the GPS took me on a wrong turn. I drove past the stadium, into a residential area and viola!, this oh so very, unpretentious, local area restaurant was sitting on the corner looking ever so attractive. I hurried to get parked. I was so pleased by the atmosphere and couldn't wait to get settled. Once my company and I got settled, outside, we ordered the items mentioned above. While we waited, I noticed how peaceful and quiet the area was. Awwwww, this is going to be a really nice experience. The neighbors that leave near this restaurant are some lucky folks. I ordered the Hawaiian croque. I've never had that sandwich before, so I definitely had to try it. It was good. I think what really did it for me was the fact that the restaurant makes their own bread. Fantastic! The more homemade, the better. My company enjoyed their sandwich too. Our meals, and the atmosphere, made this place a win win. Stop on by. P.S. - I saw some really delicious looking desserts in the cooler by the door. Yeah, I know your mouth just watered with the thought of dessert.

Located in North Augusta just 5 minutes from downtown Augusta Ga. The neighborhood has the feel of a small seashore village. A beautiful neighborhood full of trees and parks is ideal for bike rides, walks and pet walks. The food at Manuels is delicious and reasonably priced. The wife and I plan to come back for drinks and something from their wide assortment of deserts. Whether it's for the food or the ambiance, we highly recommend this place.
