Lisa's Restaurant and Lounge is located right off the East side rotary on Bangor Street, across from Aubochons Hardware. First floor accessible through the street entrance. Prices are reasonable. Food is fresh, fast, and consistently delicious. There's always something new to experience to make it worth the trip back. Some parking available but best to avoid busier hours.

We ordered take-out and were starving! We had two bowls of Stuffed Pepper Soup (which was like 4 bowls). It was so delicious! We both ordered the Marinated Steak Tips which were cooked to perfection and such a huge portion that neither of us finished. Our first time but won’t be our last.

Our server Indigo was wondering cute as a button very pleasant. The restaurant is very quant. I had fried scallops the first bite was heavily. By far the best seafood I have had in a long time. I will be back again.

First time here. Service was excellent. Waitstaff very friendly, food was very good, with the exception of the chili. It was too thick for our liking but other than that, everything else was great. Huge portions. Will definitely be back to try their breakfast. We had the reuben, bacon burger and honey dipped chicken.

My only real complaint about Lisa's is that no matter how hard I try I can't seem to trick any of their lovely bartenders into going on a date with me! Fair enough though. The food and drinks and service however, on point. So if you're looking for a place to go for any of THOSE sort of things, Lisa's is excellent. I would put their big bowl of chowder, piled high with all sorts of fresh and awesome seafood, up against anything I've had along the New England coastline, and I've tried em all.

Stopped by for a quick lunch with my lady. We had Indigo as a server and she was wonderful! Very friendly and attentive. I got the steak bomb with curly fries (additional cost) and it was delicious. My lady got the chili (smaller size by the way) and she enjoyed it a lot. We will be back!

First time visiting this place. Stopped in with my wife for lunch. I knew the chef, Adam, and asked him to make whatever he recommended. It worked out great as I love a good Reuben. I'm pretty picky, so I was curious how it would be. It was excellent! Bread had a lovely crisp to it, and the balance of ingredients was perfect! My wife had the taco bowl as she loves anything taco. She absolutely loved it. Our server, Indigo, was a delight. Friendly and helpful, she made sure we were taken care of. Give this place a shot!! We are glad we did!

Have been looking for a great spot in Augusta and have finally found it. The staff is incredible and work as a team and you can tell this place is a place the locals come and are treated like family. Sat in the lounge and the bartender Kerrie threw some great songs on the jukebox to make a great atmosphere. Our waitress indigo gave us several recommendations and was on point with all of them. Unique specials and great variety on the menu. Best fresh cut fries I think I have ever had.
