‘IT MEANS<br />
EVERYTHING<br />
TO ME’<br />
New restaurant opens in downtown Augusta<br />
By JOZSEF PAPP<br />
Antoine Williamson has been wanting to open his<br />
own restaurant <strong>for</strong> years. Although COVID-19<br />
delayed his opening plans <strong>for</strong> almost a year, he was<br />
finally able to realize his dream.<br />
“It means everything to me. I saved up <strong>for</strong><br />
years,” he said.<br />
Williamson recently opened Broad Street Bullies Grill at 855<br />
Broad St., next to Augusta Common. He said he used to work<br />
extra shifts at Bridgestone, be<strong>for</strong>e getting laid off, just to get<br />
more money and save <strong>for</strong> his restaurant.<br />
He originally planned to open in February, but <strong>the</strong> pandemic<br />
hit and he had to deal with many delays and problems.<br />
