With so many historic spots in the state, it’s had to forget which has been around the longest. While The Plaza Restaurant & Oyster Bar holds the top honor for being the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the state, this restaurant holds an honor for a different cuisine. If you’re a fan of family-traditions and big platters of eggplant parmigiana and baked lasagna, then this is the restaurant for you.

In 1949, the doors of Augusta, Georgia’s oldest family-owned restaurant opened.
