Patio Dining Around Augusta
It's springtime in Maine. As the songbirds return and the trees burst forth with fresh greenery, it's the perfect time to get outside and enjoy this fine weather. Luckily, there are many excellent restaurants in the Augusta area where you can have a great meal while doing just that.
Let our real estate agents be your guides to the best outdoor patio dining in the Kennebec Valley. These are the best places to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air while you eat in Augusta!
- Otto's on the River - 287 Water St, Augusta, ME 04330
A waterside eatery with ample outdoor seating along with its spacious dining room, Otto's on the River is a great option for an upscale lunch or dinner in Augusta. The Kennebec River can be seen from the dining room as well as the outdoor deck, and the restaurant is just minutes from these Augusta homes for sale. The menu at Otto's highlights Maine seafood alongside pasta dishes, filet mignon, seared duck breast and some tasty vegetarian options as well. - The Red Barn - 455 Riverside Dr, Augusta, ME 04330
It doesn't get much more down-to-earth than The Red Barn, a casual roadside barn eatery that serves up Maine seafood in a thoroughly unpretentious space. Try a breaded and deep-fried shrimp, scallop, or haddock basket, or go straight for the 1/4-pound Maine lobster roll. And don't ignore Laura's Famous Seafood Stew, arguably the most renowned menu item. The Red Barn offers abundant outdoor picnic table seating in addition to their relaxed dining room. - The Oak Table and Bar - 233 Water St, Augusta, ME 04330
Offering upscale New American cuisine in the heart of Augusta, The Oak Table and Bar has established itself as one of the most unique eateries in the Kennebec Valley. The menu here changes daily, so one never knows exactly what to expect. But the offerings consistently revolve around local farm-to-table ingredients, including Maine meat, seafood, and dairy, as well as vegetables and mushrooms that are farmed and foraged locally. Vegan options are available. - State Lunch - 217 Water St, Augusta, ME 04330
Located in the heart of downtown Augusta, State Lunch is a globally-inspired gastro pub that serves lunch and dinner seven days a week. It's become a favorite of locals and visitors alike, with beautiful outdoor patio seating and colorful, eclectic cuisine. The menu includes creative offerings like Korean kimchi burgers and Thai beef salad alongside sriracha chicken wings and kung pao brussels sprouts. State Lunch also makes some of the best craft cocktails in town. - Cushnoc Brewing Co. - 243 Water St, Augusta, ME 04330
An excellent local brewpub that serves house-brewed beers alongside wood-fired pizza, Cushnoc Brewing Co. is one of the top spots in Augusta for casual drinks and eats. The space includes an industrial-chic taproom as well as ample outdoor seating, and the pizzas are exceptional. Craft your own pie or choose one of the seven recipes from the menu. - The Gin Mill - 300 Water St, Augusta, ME 04330
An upscale bar with a casual atmosphere, The Gin Mill offers a cozy brick-lined interior with a speakeasy feel as well as outdoor tables. The whole place is designed to be relaxing and welcoming.
