About us

Hello, I’m Julie McNeely, Owner of McNeely’s Place & Something So Right Events. For many of those in the CSRA, our restaurant has become their favorite home for Southern Cuisine. Our name was chosen to honor my late husband, Bobby W. McNeely, a wonderful southern man who absolutely LOVED to eat good food. The restaurant, nestled in the heart of North Augusta, (in the charming 112 year old Davenport House) was our dream together. Every morning we come in before the sun to prepare your favorite old southern classics, mixed with some new ideas here and there. Every dish is prepared and cooked with love, just like your grandma use to do. Our goal is to bring you that feeling of walking through the door of your grandma’s/great grandma’s house. We hope the smells coming from our kitchen will take you back to a simpler time, a better time of your carefree childhood days! We want you to feel welcomed, warm and cozy while you’re here. A place where the front of house staff remembers your name and treats you like a part of the family. Our recipes provide us with much pride as we use only the BEST ingredients. NO margarine will ever make it’s way into our kitchen! We use butter, real butter, and a lot of it! This makes a big difference in the quality of the food and is hard to come by nowadays in most commercial kitchens. Our meat is cut fresh daily from our favorite local butcher, Lanier’s. Quality is of the utmost importance to us from the beef, pork and chicken we select each week to the fresh produce we use in our dishes. Our sandwiches are made with only quality Kretschmar Deli (since 1883) Slow Roasted Turkey and Smoked Ham and sliced, in house. We hope you can taste the difference! My background is in catering. I have more than 30 years of experience in catering and event planning. We can and have catered any event imaginable: weddings, bridal and baby showers, retirement parties, birthdays & the list goes on! Our historic restaurant doubles as a beautiful event space.

We look forward to continuing to serve the North Augusta community, that we love!
