With so many historic spots in the state, it’s had to forget which has been around the longest. While The Plaza Restaurant & Oyster Bar holds the top honor for being the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the state, this restaurant holds an honor for a different cuisine. If you’re a fan of family-traditions and big platters of eggplant parmigiana and baked lasagna, then this is the restaurant for you.
In 1949, the doors of Augusta, Georgia’s oldest family-owned restaurant opened.
The menu has some traditional favorites from Baked Lasagna made with homemade meatballs, and Chicken Parmigiana which is hand-breaded and topped with provolone cheese.
