This Charming Restaurant In The Heart Of Wine Country Is A Missouri Dream
The Missouri Rhineland has some of the most beautiful landscapes in our state. Most of Missouri wine country sits on the banks of the Missouri River, offering visitors breathtaking sights of both the vineyards and the riverside bluffs. A warm spring day begs for a trip to the wineries and Augusta, just an hour west of St. Louis, is the perfect destination. However, a hearty meal is often required after spending the day at the wineries and The Silly Goose in Augusta is a great place to get dinner before driving home.
In the small wine town of Augusta is a quaint restaurant serving amazing southern-inspired dishes called The Silly Goose. There is something about a great atmosphere and good wine that can really make a meal, expect both at The Silly Goose.
The historic building, erected in 1857, went under a complete renovation prior to The Silly Goose's opening in 2014. However, the historic charm was perfectly preserved which complements the modern eatery.
The Silly Goose is known for their home-style spin on classic Cajun dishes, like the gumbo smothered pork chop. Expect some southern classics like fried green tomatoes and new southern favorites like chicken and waffles.
Visit on a beautiful spring day and enjoy local wines with dinner on the patio. The best time to visit the Silly Goose is after a day at the wineries. So be sure to take in the beautiful countryside while you're in Augusta!
Augusta is commonly regarded as the heart of Missouri Rhineland. Augusta was the first American Viticultural Area designated by the federal government.
The Silly Goose can get pretty busy, especially on a nice day but you can call and make reservations in advance. Find more information about the restaurant from their website or their facebook. The Silly Goose is located at 5501 Locust St., Augusta.
