“This place appears child friendly but I went last night with my hubby for a date. Best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had in my life. Ceviche app was also chef’s kiss. My husband had the Chicken and Hoecakes dish. Again, 🤯! The desert was okay but everything else including staff were phenomenal. Atmosphere was nice, dim lighting surrounds you in raw architecture with an intimate feel. Drinks were also incredibly good. If you’re on the fence, get off it and go!”

“This is one of the very best Sushi restaurants that i have ever eaten at. The service was spectacular and the selection of sushi and sashimi was stupendous. I have eaten in many Sushi restaurants and I have to say this is by far my favorite . Whenever we are in St. Augustine I know we will eat there again. My husband, who does not like sushi, also loved the food he was able to get.”

“This place is a spectacular sleeper. Hidden away and far too unknown. I’ve lived in the area 15 years and never been here. The food is over the top amazing! Portions are generous. The ambience is spectacular. You get to see planes land and takeoff while enjoying incredible food. What fun we had! Seriously - go there. It’s one of those amazing places where you hope the community supports it regularly because it’s worth it and you want it to be around for a LONG TIME. It hit a 100% on all the things we enjoy. My mom and I could not have eaten a second order. We shared one meal and there was more than we could eat. - We ordered bread to start off. . . . It took just a little bit longer to come to the table, that’s because it was fresh baked! The butter with the herbs was so good. Dipping oil with amazing seasoning and the right amount of salt. We met Christian, the chef. He is from Chili. He has passion about the food he makes. Mikey is on the kitchen killing it with him! Sam was our server. Fantastic attention to our wants and needs during the whole meal. Seriously, holiday parties. After work unwind. Just the perfect venue - Not too far to drive from Nocatee. #HangarOne #StAugustineAirport”
“Really fresh, good food. Blackened chicken wrap, fries, sprouts all good. Service good. Will be back”
“First time visiting and it was packed! Great flavor options - I had a delicously spicy ghost pepper bagel with my Brooklyn breakfast sandwich to go.
There was a little mix up with the order, and when I came back in Addie remembered me and got everything sorted out kindly, quickly, and correctly despite how busy and hot it was in the shop. 5+ star customer service.”

“Early Valentine's Day dinner! The appetizer was a charcuterie board with a thoughtful selection of meats and cheeses. We spurged for the Tomahawk steak - cooked to a perfect medium rare- and it was incredible! The seafood dish was the best we've ever had with the star being the Blue Crab ravioli( chef exclusive to the weekend). Dessert was Chocolate Expresso mouse. 5 ☆ experience from start to finish.”

“Oooooookay, let me just say Mr Campbell(soup) was ALL TOO accommodating! Didn’t want the 4 cookie box, so he packaged my cookies in 2bags for me. I got the rolled oatmeal, and triple chocolate and MY OH MY……!!!!!!!! I also got a scoop of dragonfruit strawberry sorbet(I could’ve gotten those backwards) and I wanted a waffle bowl but they didn’t have any so he hooked me up with those waffle crisp thingymajigger things, and he was so thrilled about it, he asked if I wanted sprinkles, I said no at first, but he wanted to work his creativity so bad I gave in. It turned out to be the cutest cup of sorbet ever!!! Hands DOWN the best MayDay experience I’ve EVER HAD…..and my wife and I have been to quite a few!!”

“What an amazing place. The food was fabulous. I had the chicken, eggs and cheese grits. OMG that breakfast was the best. The grits were excellent and I am super picky about my grits. The eggs were cooked perfect and the chicken was juicy and delicious. I then got the best biscuit I have ever had with cinnamon maple butter. Perfection from start to finish. Mari (the owner) was friendly and helpful. She took time to engage every customer no matter how busy she was. For you first timers parking is limited and it's counter ordering. There is not a lot of seating inside (fyi). BUT do not let either of these things discourage you the FOOD is absolutely, whole heartedly worth it. It's open Wednesday thru Sunday 8am to 12 noon. Do not walk; run to The West Egg! ENJOY”

“So. Freaking. Good. We drove from NC today and had the absolute worst time dealing with traffic and torrential rain all day. Once we finally arrived to St. Augustine, we stumbled upon Catch 27. We were seated promptly by the sweet hostess. Greeted promptly by our server. The drinks were spectacular. Perfectly mixed with balanced flavors. We got the appetizer of the day, which was a crab rangoon dip with wonton crackers. Are you kidding me? So good. I got the blackened flounder beurre blanc. Seriously the best flounder I've ever had. The lemon caper sauce was the perfect compliment to the sweet potato mash. My boyfriend got the coconut crab cake with jasmine rice and Thai curry sauce. Such an authentic Thai flavor. No complaints whatsoever. This experience really saved our day. We've added Catch27 to our list of best restaurants!”

“Everything was very good. Service, food, restaurant was very clean, the staff never just stood around. When they weren’t helping customers they were cleaning or restocking. The music was appropriate and good volume. Basically everything was very nice. The price felt just a bit high chicken salad croissant with a vanilla latte a cappuccino and a ham and cheese croissant came out to $41. It wasn’t too pricy but felt just a bit high. All the food is made on-site and was very good.
Most importantly- I would come back it was worth it.”

All were excellent. And the service and ambiance are exceptional. It is very quiet and comfortable, and the wait staff are patient and kind and don't mind if you take your time. Not many restaurants are quiet and relaxing these days. The prices are fair, as well, especially considering the high quality of the dishes. Highly recommended!”

“A True Hidden Gem in St. Augustine The Collage exceeded all our expectations. We’ve visited St. Augustine many times, but this was our first time discovering this incredible restaurant, and what a find! We were celebrating our 21st anniversary and stumbled upon The Collage online. Thinking it would be quiet on a Wednesday night, we didn’t make a reservation. Despite being fully booked, Megan, the restaurant manager, went out of her way to accommodate us, which we truly appreciated. Our server, Franco, was warm, attentive, and very knowledgeable. The food was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. We began with the beef carpaccio and watermelon salad; both beautifully prepared. For our main course, we each had the 8oz filet topped with gorgonzola sauce, and every bite was mouthwatering. Between courses, we were treated to a refreshing raspberry sorbet to cleanse our palates—a lovely touch. For dessert, we shared a warm pound cake with raspberry coulis and fresh whipped cream, paired with perfectly made espressos. The ambiance was quaint, cozy, and romantic,ideal for a special occasion like ours. We especially loved that the menu changes regularly, offering something new to look forward to each time. We’re so happy to have found this gem and will absolutely be returning. Highly recommended! Thanks Again, The Gennaro’s”

He was lovely to chat with and even stopped to tell us about the fact that their still family owned and operated. I was very happy with the food, and the service. Whataburger just became my new favorite fast food restaurant. On top of everything being great, it was only $31 for two very filling adult meals and a kids meal which ive spent more at tacobell for much less and worse food. Whataburger gives me hope for America”

“My husband and I frequently go to the Hardee's located on Mid Rivers Mall Dr & Mexico Rd, St. Peter's, Mo. We LOVE this location. The staff is always friendly. The store is always clean. And the breakfast is awesome. They all deserve a raise. I would have gone through your website to express this, it keeps wanting to pull up Tennessee locations, even though I state where I live. And when I actually find the correct location, it won't let me actually select it. Your app sucks as well, when it comes to ordering things. Orders won't go through, and when they show up, it's an hour later, which is setting your stores up for failure and pissed off people (customers and employees alike).”

“I had a genuinely great experience at Wawa while charging my vehicle at the Tesla charging station.
The location was clean, well-lit, and felt safe, which is especially important when you’re spending extended time charging. What stood out most was the level of customer service. The staff was attentive, professional, and maintained a positive attitude even during busy periods. The store itself was organized, and food service was efficient everything was fresh and prepared in a timely manner.
Having access to quality food, restrooms, and a comfortable environment while charging makes a significant difference, and this Wawa location delivered on all fronts. It turned what could have been just a routine charging stop into a pleasant and productive break.
This is exactly the kind of experience that keeps customers coming back. I would absolutely choose this location again and recommend it to other EV drivers.”

“I called Denny's on Ponce De Leon in Historic St. Augustine, from out of state, to see if I could purchase a gift card for a guest who is staying at the Days Inn next door. Unfortunately they could not take a credit card over the phone. However after explaining to Brooke my situation, she was so gracious to offer my guest a free breakfast. I will forever be greatful to her and her genuine thoughtfulness and hospitality. I sure hope I can visit St. Augustine soon to personally meet with this great lady!”

I am a grilled cheese connoisseur and I make some good ones myself but oh my gosh, the grilled Mac and Cheese I had with I can't remember what kind of meat was AMAZING! So was the tomato soup! This amazing 70's music was playing inside and I was dancing waiting for my take out. It was so cool inside! They asked for my name and I told them. Little did I know when I came back in a few days later where we ate inside that time, that the man who waited on me 2 days before would remember me and call me by name! Holy cow! That was so cool! He said it was because I was dancing. I'm a dancer with 5 trophies so yeah, I was dancing to that good music but to remember me like that! If you love grilled Mac and Cheese or just grilled cheese in general and you love tomato soup, you have to eat here! I promise you will not be disappointed at all! Next time I want some Poutine and another sandwich! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“What a gem St Augustine has in its’ midst! We recently visited the fine establishment after reading previous reviews and was overwhelmed by the kindness and expertise of the owner! We were novices and had never prepared blue crab before. Instead of being annoyed at our lack of knowledge, he explained at great length and in easy to understand detail, how to prepare his delicious crab in several different ways. We served up a delightful, delicious meal that evening! The seafood was exceptional! He and his small business is a real asset to the community! You won’t be disappointed!!!!”

You often see the same friendly faces week after week, and the service is absolutely world class. Any time anyone is looking for a recommendation, Ned’s is the place to go. My family and I consider it our go-to and almost a second home when you want the home style cooking, without the necessity to do your own dishes. Sunday bunch, a weekday lunch, or dinner over the weekend. This is the place to go!”

It was about to sprinkle(maybe..Florida, ya know) but the owner said if we wanted to chance it, would could sit outside, as the wait time for an inside table was over an hour. We decided to chance it. So glad we did! Best chicken piccata I’ve ever had. Generous “wife portions” of wine, hah. And the food came very quickly. Really enjoyed the owner’s hospitality as well. Highly recommend!!”

“My wife and I came here for our 31st anniversary. A highly rated restaurant. My meal, steak bowl, was very tasty. The steak was tuff. Over cooked I think. My wife had a fish meal. I forget which. She was very disappointed in the taste and quality of her meal. I have NEVER see my wife complain about a meal before. When our waitress (she was great!) Asked how the meal was my wife told her. Later a woman, not a lady, came to our table concerning our dissatisfaction. She seemed to be insulted and left in a huff. Normally a dissatisfied customer is given a discount or a free dessert. Something. Nothing was offered. What should have been an enjoyable dining experience for Saint Augustine residents celebrating their anniversary was left lacking. 🤢”

We were not disappointed! From the warm welcome, to the lovely room with all types of tea china displayed, we were delighted. We had the afternoon tea, with a delicious assortment of teas and a 3-tiered serving dish. Everything was so thoughtfully set out -- such lovely sandwiches and desserts. We were able to enjoy our time there, without being rushed and just enough attention to what we needed. All the while, the music from "Bridgerton" was playing softly in the background. We highly recommend that you spend an afternoon and indulge!”

“I said yes that I would recommend, however if you have young children I want you to make an informed decision. They used to be kid friendly, but I was told my children could not be “running” around. I have a 2 yr old who I stayed right next to the entire time. I apologized to people if she got in their way. Many people smiled and enjoyed the smiles of a child. She was not running around with my 6 year old like a wild child. This has been a great place to sit with our family for years. We have even met friends with young kids who all played together. The staff would engage with the kids and make it such a great experience. We may have to choose a different place for the next few years 😞”

“We had no prior knowledge of Blackfly. We chose it because it was close to our rental. We smiled as soon as we walked in the side door leading to the bar area and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. The further we entered the very well decorated restaurant the more we knew we had made a good choice. To us, the best reason to visit St. Augustine is dining at the Blackfly! We went all out and had drinks, appetizers, their version of Coquille St. Jacques and their Chilli lime shrimp. Both were delicious and cooked to perfection with exceptional sauces. Main course was a Chef's Special which was baked shrimps, scallops over a bed of thai noodles and a sauce to die for. I had the bone in Pork chop cooked medium rare and it was delicious. Blackfly has a vast selection of wines in their wine cellar and we enjoyed a nice Honig sauvignon blanc. Kudos to Matt, our server, who throughout the evening gave us the right amount of attention and space to relax for our entire dining experience. The food was so good and well prepared that I was compelled to go to the kitchen to thank the staff and gave a large tip for the kitchen staff . Our evening at Blackfly was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Vaughn and staff, you have an outstanding establishment.”

“Great burgers that have the freshest lettuce and tomato toppings of any restaurant I've been to. Pickles and onions taste great also. And you can customize the amount you want. Also, there aren't too many places that have real dairy shakes. But you can get real dairy here! Steak n' Shake definitely has the best shakes, and during happy hour they're half price. A very friendly place and the owners really put a lot of effort into making it a very pleasant dining experience.”

“Ok, so it has been a while since I did a review. This summer I am starting a blog on biscuits and gravy. So today my fiancée and I decided to enjoy the day in St Augustine. I made a post on 904Eats on facebook and asked for a place between Jax and Aug on HWY 1. I got The Spot Cafe. I ordered the southern comfort, biscuits, and gravy with chicken between them. Came with eggs and home-style potatoes. It was so good. When I start my biscuits and gravy blog (summer 2025). I will be sure to add this place. The biscuits were fluffy and most. The gravy just needed a little more pepper for my taste. On my blog scale, I will give it a 9.5 out of 10. Views going on Yelp, Google Review, and my blog page coming soon.”

I am a grilled cheese connoisseur and I make some good ones myself but oh my gosh, the grilled Mac and Cheese I had with I can't remember what kind of meat was AMAZING! So was the tomato soup! This amazing 70's music was playing inside and I was dancing waiting for my take out. It was so cool inside! They asked for my name and I told them. Little did I know when I came back in a few days later where we ate inside that time, that the man who waited on me 2 days before would remember me and call me by name! Holy cow! That was so cool! He said it was because I was dancing. I'm a dancer with 5 trophies so yeah, I was dancing to that good music but to remember me like that! If you love grilled Mac and Cheese or just grilled cheese in general and you love tomato soup, you have to eat here! I promise you will not be disappointed at all! Next time I want some Poutine and another sandwich! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

He greeted us warmly. Explained the ice creams to us. Expertly scooped them into a cup. Placed the spoons carefully. Then handed the ice cream filled cup to us. We then talked with him for a few minutes.
Hard working, bright, personable. Consider stopping at Maci’s. You will not be disappointed…..especially if Colin is working.”
