Back on August 29th, Downtown T’s announced that they would be closed for maintenance, and for the community to check back for updates.

North Augusta’s community and customers via social media were eager for them to get back going, but unfortunately, the restaurant closed for good. Downtown T’s restaurant was located in North Augusta for two years.

This weekend, October 16, they announced some exciting news for their customers. While their North Augusta location is permanently closed, they have found a way to stick around the CSRA.

Downtown T’s is back operating but in a new location and in a new form. They are now located in South August, in T’s parking lot, as a mobile food truck. T’s parking lot is located at 3416 Mike Padgett Hwy.

The hours of the food truck are Monday – Friday, 11 am – 3 pm. The truck currently has a cash-only policy in place.

Right now the menu is very limited, from what most may remember. Dishes like the vegetable soup and the jalapeno hushpuppies haven't made a return yet, but here's some of what there limited menu will have:

Catfish Filet Basket
Flounder Sandwich
Chicken Sandwich
HushPuppies

Each basket comes with French fries and hushpuppies.

Check out Downtown T’s limited food truck menu below.

Food trucks continue to be a popular saving grace in the food industry. This isn't the first time we've seen a business close in the CSRA and then come back as a food truck.

Fuse, a restaurant located in Aiken, South Carolina, announced they would be closing down their restaurant location back in August.

Two days later they announced via Facebook that Fuse was back but in a different way. You guessed it, in food truck form! Now Fuse Mobile can be found at different locations and events around the CSRA. The recipes for the food truck aren't the same as they were at the former Fuse Aiken location, but the ideas and the concepts of the dishes are similar.

Augusta, You Have So Much To Offer For Food And Fun

So many and way too many times we all hear that there is never anything to do.  Well, I've learned Augusta-You Have So Much To Offer For Food And Fun.  As the second largest and fastest growing city in the State of Georgia, in Augusta, we have more to offer than ever before.

New restaurants and fun places are opening almost weekly in Augusta.  It depends on what it is you want to do you can find it here. Do you Love Country Music and nightlife?  The Dirty Boots Augusta is open on Broad Street.  Maybe you like a place to go where the younger people hang out to socialize, you can go to Sole or Garden City Social.

If the nightlife isn't for you, We have the Canal, The River Walk, Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, The Augusta Museum Of History and so much more.  With the growth of our military base and the cyber command, we are seeing people come to Augusta and business owners are stepping up to take care of those needs, and we are so thankful.

To me, one of the coolest things to take in with friends is the Broad Axe Throwing Club.  Talk about taking out some stress.  This is the way to do it

Yearly Events To Take In Augusta

    We have so much to offer just in the city of Augusta Alone, we haven't in this story talked about the happenings in North Augusta, Evans, Grovetown, or Aiken.  I hope you enjoy the videos below and that they inspire you to get out and enjoy just some of what Augusta has to offer. You might be surprised and wanna see more of the Garden City.
