Downtown Augusta Restaurant Announces Closure

Author Cody

Noble Jones, a local restaurant in Downtown Augusta, announced they will be closing their doors for good this Saturday, May 25th. They posted the news to their social media accounts on Wednesday afternoon.

In the post on Facebook and Instagram, the restaurant noted they have had challenges for the past year with traffic and staffing issues. Because of these issues, they have made the decision to close after this weekend.

But, despite the restaurant closing to the public, they do still plan to host private events and catering.

They wrapped up the announcement with this:

“We deeply appreciate your support and patronage over the years and thank you for being a part of our journey. Thank you for your understanding and continued support and we look forward to serving you in the future! Join us this last week! We’d love to see you and thank you for your support!

About Noble Jones

Noble Jones is located at 816 Cotton Lane in Augusta. If you’d like to visit, their hours are 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Their final day, Saturday, they’ll be open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Their website does note that limited walk-ins are available, and you can make your reservations online HERE.

Noble Jones was known for the phrase: “Where Southern Meets Unexpected.” The restaurant was brought to life by Chef J.D. Wier. The menu was a reflection of the chef’s influences throughout his career, which included roadside dives, high-end eateries, and private clubs.

Their website notes the restaurant was affectionately dubbed “NOJO”. And the restaurant was housed in the old Cotton Patch, a historic spot near the Augusta Common.

Thankfully, they will still be available for private events, and some commented with encouraging words and noting they would keep Noble Jones in mind for catering in the future.

Local Restaurateurs Opening New Barbecue Restaurant In Downtown Augusta

Soon, there will be some smoking on Broad Street! This new restaurant in downtown Augusta is Bradley’s Barbecue and is set to open this summer after renovations are complete. The location is well known. It’s the old Sunshine Bakery building.

Barbecue With A Bar

Fat Man’s Hospitality Group is behind this new concept restaurant. Think great barbecue in a historic building and, like the other Fat Man’s restaurants in town, you can expect something a little different. This one will have a full bar, too.

Brad and Havird Usry, owners of Fat Man’s Hospitality Group, show respect for this historic building, even down to the signage Augusta Historic Preservation recently approved.

Bringing A Historic Building Back To Life

Fat Man’s Hospitality partner Havird Usry added,  “Buying the Sunshine building for our new concept is a great fit for us. Our history is family business, and preserving some history of other family businesses is right in our wheelhouse. We are doing it with SnoCap and Fat Man’s and look forward to bringing the Sunshine Building back to life. Now we have to get to work.”

As Havird mentioned,  the other Fat Man restaurants in the Augusta-North Augusta area include the historic SnoCap in North Augusta, The Southern Salad downtown, and Fat Man’s at Enterprise Mill, along with all their restaurants offering catering. Now, they have added Bradleys Barbecue as their newest restaurant in downtown Augusta.

Foodies Rejoice!

Bradley’s Barbecue joins about 43 other restaurants in downtown Augusta, quickly becoming a foodie’s favorite place for lunch and a night out. We’ll update you as we hear more about Bradley’s opening.
