My party consisted of family aged 36 to 80. Everyone raved about the food and all the servers/runners that attended to our needs. First time dinners and the experience was so much fun!

Sheehan's is always a great dinner spot when we visit Augusta - we love that it is located in a small commercial area close to Augusta State. The wings appetizer had great flavor, and our server (Tristan) was very helpful in making appropriate dinner and dessert recommendations. The swordfish special offered an excellent flavor combination as the glaze paired well with the fish and mixed vegetables. The donut sundae dessert was just the perfect way to end our meal. We will definitely be back!

I don’t usually go out for dinner on Thursday nights but I was craving the cowgirl ribeye at Becks. It was delicious, juicy and made me very happy. Perfectly cooked medium rare. The beet salad, sans beets, is a huge salad and well composed. Next visit I want to try bar top service. Really enjoy this place. Great service, very friendly.
