“We had a fantastic meal! The beet poke was fresh and had great flavor and the 3 ramen dishes we ordered were all out of this world good! I had a sake cocktail that was refreshing and well balanced and my hubby had a nice sweet potato beer. Definitely worth the hour drive for us!”
“Loved our dinner tonight! We ordered the Salt and Pepper Ahi Tuna Salad. Excellent. Our waiter was Eddie who was the perfect waiter!!! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“One of the absolute best dishes I’ve ever had. Dreaming of it, and I don’t eat meat or dairy, so that can be challenging or straight up boring when dining out! Can’t wait to go back!!!💙”

“We enjoyed our visit 2 times. Only thing we would recommend, A HANDRAIL AT YOUR FRONT STEPS. It would be easier and safer for us "mature" dining guests. Thank you.”
“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”

“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.”
“Quickly became our favorite restaurant in St. Augustine! Food & service are amazing!”
“We happened to find Poppy’s on Trip Advisor and boy were we delighted. The atmosphere is authentic, food is exceptional and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.”

“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!”

“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.”
“We had a great time the drinks decor and staff made it so fun !!! We will do this fun evening again !!”

“While the host here could use some work, (just sitting out on the front on his cell phone), the rest of our experience was good. However, we stopped by a few nights later to eat here again and were told we weren’t able to eat inside, even though there was nobody seated inside. Other than that, we really enjoyed our experience here. Our server disappeared halfway through dinner, but was quickly taken over by somebody else and they never missed a beat. The food was absolutely fantastic. We split the two meals, and they even had pre-split them for us before they came out. Highly recommend! Great backyard area if it’s not too hot!”

“The guy at the Italian deli next door said this place was great so we walked over while we waited for our catering order from the deli. We were immediately greeted and ordered saki which arrived quickly. Then the sushi chef gave us a free appetizer of tuna tataki that was amazing! They subbed avocado for cream cheese in our double salmon roll and it was so fresh and delicious! Definitely check this place out when you are in the area!”
“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!!!!”
“@Matsukawa Sushi & Ramen up past Costco is the best sushi I've had in Florida . It ranks with the quality sushi restaurant we found in London. It's going to blow your mind! #sushi #bestofnorthflorida #bestsushi #saintaugustine”

“I have eaten at the restraunt a couple times inside and it has been awesome everytime so I do recommend eating there. Service has always been awesome, but Do not order to go. The food quality to go is nowhere close to when eat eat there and that's disappointing. I ordered hibatchi chicken and shrimp to go and pretty good chicken and shrimp floating in sauce and a bunch of onions and carrots floating in watery sauce. Will never order to go again. Especially when my whole order was over 75 dollars.”
“I have eaten at Piesano's twice, and each time it was awesome! The food is absolutely wonderful - today, my party and I enjoyed a cheese calzone, shrimp scampi, and gorgonzola salad with shrimp. 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!”
“Visited The Raintree Restaurant to celebrate my 40th Birthday. We were looking for somewhere that had a romantic feel, variety of food options, and great service. The Raintree offered that and more. Tim was a great waiter; very attentive and precise. We will definitely drive 3 hours to eat there again.”
“Courtney, the assistant manager, was amazing from the moment we arrived. Since it was our first time visiting, she gave us excellent menu recommendations that made our experience even better. The brunch atmosphere was fantastic, the mimosas were perfect, and every dish we tried was delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Used Sonny’s to cater our reception dinner for our son and now daughter..sliced turkey,pulled pork,Mac & cheese,baked beans,coleslaw and rolls were on point..also had sweet & unsweet tea and lemonade…everyone was well fed and satisfied with the food,as many said,its hard to go wrong with Sonnys..🤤..”
“Our Christmas Eve dinner was spectacular once again! I have used OBBC several times and each and every time all of our guests LOVE the food! Thank you! 🫶🏼”
“Always ask your server where they go after work! This place was the perfect suggestion. We are traveling with a puppy and were welcomed on their patio. The atmosphere was very relaxing and made sense as a local haunt without snubbing the weary tourist. Irish coffee at 11:00 pm? Yes and thank you. Thumbs up to Barley Republic.”

“Aviles is a must try!! From the Friendly staff to the amazing menu options ! Aviles really exceeds all expectations! Bravo Aviles you are definitely #1 in my book! And thank you to all the amazing servers and Chefs they really go out of their way to make your dinning Experience exceptional and Magical !”
“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 went thru another Mc Donald's drive thru on my way to work and got the saddest Mc Griddle I've even seen. Because I didn't realize this till I was at work, I was to far from that one so I went to this one on Ponce De Leon Blvd. and they went over and beyond for me, they made me a fresh one this time with egg and it was so soft lol not like the other one which could have broke a window. Thank you manager Toni!!! and they thru in a hashbrown and didn't charge me a dime. I will start going to this store from now on.”

“I don't normally like sushi but this was great on a date night and had plenty of options for less exotic eaters like me- def have a lot of food restrictions thank you for accommodating me!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Amazing food and service. Parking can be a struggle depending on how busy they are. Brittany was absolutely amazing! Shrimp was excellent! Hush puppies were fresh and tasty. Save room for the dessert. Four of us enjoyed a late lunch for under $20 each. We were full when we left. Definitely worth the time and effort. Did I say Brittany was amazing?! Cash only.”
“I was on vacation when I saw this restaurant in St. Augustine FL. I saw the menu and said I have to go in and get something! 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Una experiencia gratificante, un personal y servicio de excelente, la comida exquisita con precio razonable y un lugar muy limpio. Gracias por su servicio y atención. Volveremos pronto!!!”
“Jesse is the man! My husband and I came down for our honey moon and his hospitality and kindness made us return to Harry’s MULTIPLE times! He is so kind amazing service 1000/10”

“I have gone to Ned’s for several years, nearly every week. I would truly consider it the crown jewel of restaurants in St. Augustine. There’s something for everyone, and the portions are huge. 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!”
“Always ask your server where they go after work! This place was the perfect suggestion. We are traveling with a puppy and were welcomed on their patio.

“Went there for my nephew’s 40th birthday the service was impeccable I liked that they had a dress code. Our server Jessica I think was top notch the food service was perfect and the food was great. Will be going back”

“My friend and I were seated in the most beautiful court yard. We had the pleasure of being taken care of by Danny Z., he was super outgoing and helpful with recommending items off the menu based on what we were feeling.”
“We went to the Black Molly Grill to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We had wonderful meals, ribeye and a shrimp special. Both were excellent. Our server, Christine, went above and beyond and ensured that we had everything we needed. We were so impressed with the food and service that we went with friends the following week.”
“We ate at the Purple Olive for the first time this past Saturday night. It will certainly not be our last time. What an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is beautiful, the food is so delicious, and the service was excellent. Our server Jennifer was on point. Our water glasses were never empty, she gave us great tips about the menu, and struck the perfect balance between being responsive and giving us space. I had the macadamia crusted salmon, and I cannot honestly say it was the best salmon I’ve ever had. The flavor was delicious and it was cooked perfectly!”
“Excellent craft beer!! Highly recommend, and also next to a great taco place that you can bring the food over!”
“Wow!!! This place is the best kept secret in St John’s!!! The best food, the service….the facilities. We had a huge group here and will definitely be back…..do yourself a favor and come here. One person posted about their bathrooms, but we did not have that experience”
“From the drinks to dessert everything was perfect. Once again, our dinner was fabulous! Steve had the filet, was outstanding. I had the tuna tartare stack, amazing! We shared the chocolate molten cake which was delicious, can’t find the appropriate word to describe because it was the BEST we have ever had. This is our favorite restaurant.”
“Luckily we were prepared and didn’t go to eat. With two celiacs in the group we had super limited options. Buut that said the vibes and drinks are what we went for and that didn’t disappoint! All of the staff members were great, Joel was top notch!! We loved the halloween themed drinks and decor.”
“Always an amazingly delicious experience. Excellent seafood and creative Italian dishes plus fantastic desserts such as the Limoncello cake. The live music adds to the chic atmosphere. Highly recommend!”
“I love beach vacations but I’m allergic to shellfish. Usually eating in a touristy, beach town is difficult but I swear Kyle knew every possible point of cross contamination on this menu. I had a fantastic Tuna Poke Bowl, my husband loved the taco salad, and my kids loved their spicy tuna roll and wave burger. Thank you to Kyle. Thank you to the restaurant for training their staff on allergens. We will probably go again because the food was fantastic and I feel safe there.”
“Such a lovely afternoon! My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary this week. We found that The Chatsworth has an afternoon tea, which we always look for on our anniversary trips. 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!”
“We had dinner at Elkhouse Eatery and were so very pleased with the service and food. Wonderful presentation and delivery. It's a must try when your in town.”
“Great spot for food and then go outside to the back patio and enjoy great music and atmosphere”
“We come to Ginger Bistro often, and it’s always a great experience! Today I had the Spicy Beef Ramen, which was absolutely delicious. I especially love the cilantro topping. My husband had the Godzilla Ramen,perfect for him because he loves spicy food.
We also ordered the Spicy Tuna and Bom bom Shrimp as appetizers. The Bom Bom Shrimp was amazing: creamy, with just a mild little kick. The food is wonderful, the restaurant is beautiful, and we always enjoy coming here!”
“Always a great stay here. The staff is exceptional and the rooms are very nice. The view is unbeatable. We look forward to coming every year.”
“Ordered shrimp and grits... $21 for a large spoon of grits and not sure what was mixed in the gravy , and 5 small shrimp.. Awful tasting and not enough for even a small kid. So disgusted. Granddaughter got chicken po boy she said was good. I sure wouldn't choose this place for seafood..”
“We went on a lunch date. Menu is authentic , robust and something for everyone. The pho sho cocktail was a great paring with our meal. Easy parking and access to St Aug. highly recommend!”
“Wonderful restaurant in historic district. Steak and shrimp fajitas were outstanding including the corn tortillas. Delicious margaritas. Harry guided us through the menu creating a very welcoming experience from start to finish. Outside dining in a quiet area was a plus. Will definitely make this a regular dining destination!”
“I'll keep it simple, the food is fantastic, the owners are a family. Get the bean dip, a chicken quesadilla, and a sopapilla for dessert, you will thank me.”
“Awesome and delicious tasting food and the presentation was on point. Wonderful service - 10/10 I wish we lived closer so I can eat at this wonderful place more often. A true hidden gem- Thank you for your service.”
“Wonderful wait staff, delicious food. The basil rice shrimp dish was amazing! I’ll definitely be back!”
“Ashlin was the perfect bartender. The food was amazing. I'm so glad my husband and I decided to come to St. Augustine Longhorn instead of Jacksonville Longhorn. Ashlin, keep up the good, perfect customer service. The kitchen cooked with so much love. The food was hot, fresh, and cooked to perfection.”
“We were on the Rum Runner 21+ tonight and it was horrible. My husband and I wanted to get outta there so bad and we couldn’t. Another couple that was there could not wait to get off the ship as well. We get it’s a 21+ and totally fine with the bad words. But the way they talked about sex etc was just nasty and embarrassing. I would not waste my time on this if I were you. It’s nothing like it was said to be. Yea that sang and told jokes but that was it. No pirate stuff, no finding the treasure like we were told. Just not happy at all. We will not return.”
“We popped in here on a whim. Tucked down a little, cute street, fostering a wonderful vibe. 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!!”
“Just thought I was gonna go into this little joint. I was pretty fooled when I stepped in to a totally different atmosphere, a place where all the locals come, and it was packed, sat at the bar Andrew the bartender took care of us. He was amazing. He was on top of his game. Nothing unusual for him whatever he suggested was excellent service excellent food excellent wine excellent I drank sangria from Spain so did everybody else in the place? It’s my new go to it’s a hidden gem and I really thought this was just a joint and didn’t know if I was actually gonna eat here but was T fooled thank you so much guys for your food and service will bring all my friends and family to you.”
“Went here the first weekend they opened and for lunch to go. The beer selection is good, especially for international beers most places do not have. You HAVE to have the Bavarian Pretzel w/ beer cheese! It is Delicious! Their Hamburgers and fries are also delicious! Next try the fish and chips! I will make this a local haunt.”
“👍Luis took excellent care of us. First time we had been there. Chix Parm was excellent, very large portions. Would definitely return to try the pizza! 🙂”
“Aviles is a must try!! From the Friendly staff to the amazing menu options ! Aviles really exceeds all expectations! Bravo Aviles you are definitely #1 in my book! And thank you to all the amazing servers and Chefs they really go out of their way to make your dinning Experience exceptional and Magical !”
“My favorite place to end a visit to St. Augustine. Great atmosphere, love the live music and the bartenders are some of the best I’ve ever seen. Really enjoy my trips there whenever I can make it to St. Augustine.”
“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. 🤢”
“Great service and tasty dishes. Excellent choices with something for everyone. Will be back 🥰”
“We stopped in for lunch today and had such a great time. Our server, Ashley, was amazing and the food was delicious! We’ll be back!”
“My family and I enjoyed MOJO tonight. We have been several times but this was our first with two kiddos. (Our son is special needs and our daughter is two months old). The staff was extremely accommodating and generous, our meals weee delicious with large portions, and the waitress was very helpful with helping us get in and out easily with two strollers and To-Go boxes, bags, and drinks. Even on such a busy night with the crowds in town for the lights, MOJO made our trip worthwhile and even more enjoyable. We will absolutely be back!”
“Great food, nice place, vintage looks worth a trip to SA, then go to prohibition kitchen and have a couple of drinks …”
“Thursday nights Casa Maya is the go to for our group.. Chase at the bar and Edwin playing amazing guitar..”
“The food, atmosphere & service is always incredible. Great restaurant to go to casual or dressed up.”
“Really fresh, good food. Blackened chicken wrap, fries, sprouts all good. Service good. Will be back”
“If you are visting St Augustine, Gator Bob's is a must stop. Cool little trading post, reminiscent of old Florida. I was there on a photo trip and had to stop in...”
“This place was wonderful! My husband and I went for my birthday dinner and the food was so good, I forgot to take a picture! We definitely will be back when we visit St. Augustine!”
“The food was very tasty and fresh. The service was attentive without being overwhelming. The restaurant is clean. It is not as expensive as Taco Libre. Great place!”
“Very relaxed atmosphere, very welcoming service, great food. I had the Spinach Artichoke bake one night, and the Saint Clare catch the next. The food and drinks are definitely made with love and care. Shout out to the bartender Bryce for giving stellar and consistent service. Will be back on my next trip to St Augistine!”
“The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the escargot and definitely did not regret it. The atmosphere in the once past pool was a different experience. Quiet, romantic and simply beautiful. Our waitress was phenomenal and cared to our every need. We can’t wait to come back.”
“Loved the complimentary Nights of Lights tour! 🎄 Becky was great, I learned so much about the history of Saint Augustine during the holiday season. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Just found this local company. So happy 😁. Tea is wonderful, can’t wait to try the oils.”
“The Pierogi Truck is a must try! We don’t miss it when catching a show at The Amp. The meat and the spinach/feta pierogis are phenomenal! And the service is excellent!”
“Ordered ox tail. Never had it before just heard how good it is. I'll tell you it was the best beef stew I ever had. Had cabbage and fried broccoli dam it was good will be back soon.”
“Evening food and service are top notch. The present crew: Stephanie, Cecelia and Jordan are the absolute best with friendly service, not to mention a great chef, kitchen, staff and management. Could do a little better on architectural ambiance, mood lighting and seating...”
“Le Macaron on St. George Street is a great store, location, and has wonderful staff. We have been to St. Augustine serval times and this store was an absolute treat. Summer welcomed us with a smile and was super helpful in helping us choose from the wonderful selection of fantastic tasting treats. Go visit this store. You will not be disappointed.”

“I love their pizza and other food items. I go there often beautiful atmosphere and great music. A lot of fun!”
“One by of worst experiences of our lives! Food is ok. Rude waiter, loud, perhaps high as kite!!!! Could not wait to get out of there. If you want to be treated poorly,and by Jason,this is the place to go. He has poor customer service.”

“Beautiful restaurant with a beautiful waterfront view. Excellent cocktails, great food and friendly staff.”
“We arrived and seated promptly. The AC was kicking so we sat outside seating. They have several ways to cook the seafood (grilled, fried blackened) the deck overlooks a lake. The service was outstanding and the food delicious. My only knock is the limited parking. But I will walk a mile to eat here again.”

“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.”
“Green Tea is the best Chinese restaurant in the SA area. Food is always delicious and the owners and staff are very nice people. I had the Pepper Steak tonight. I ordered it with double onion and double gravy and it was prepared just like I asked. If you want really good Chinese food, go to Green Tea.”
“I grew up in NJ the diner capital of the Universe…so when I saw “S.O.S.” On the menu on my first visit I flipped! The secret was that the owner was rather proud of his original home made corned beef, the key ingredient of my fav breakfast meal from way back….it was absolutely delicious!!! The service was awesome and the ambience as well! Hope to be back soon to try the eggs Benedict…another of my all time favorites! I was thrilled by my first visit!”
“The restaurant is right downtown on King Street which makes it so convenient for late night "need a really good cheese steak" moment. My husband loves eating there and if he had his way, he'd have lunch there every day. Very nice people and great cheese steaks! As a native Philly gal, I am bias. THey got it nailed. 10 out of 10 stars!”
“Went to lunch today at this establishment, which we do often. But today’s service was beyond exceptional. My waitress was Brittany and she was fantastic. The best waitress I have seen in St, Johns county. She’s efficient, friendly and on top of her game. I hope they’re taking good care of her. Otherwise another business owner is going to want to snatch her up! Food was awesome as usual.”
“These cupcakes are probably the best I have had in a very long time. Thank the Good Lord I do not live nearby. I would be 50 pounds heavier. They are excellent. The first bite truly was not my last. The flavor and the batter so rich and delightful. Thank you. Your shop is as cute as a button.”

“The BEST food!!!! I have eaten here twice and have gotten the shrimp and grits both times. The best I have ever had!!!! This time we got dessert too…peanut butter and chocolate pie and salted caramel cheesecake. I could have eaten my weight in both! We have been home for a day and I am ready craving it all and can’t wait to go back!! Also love the quiet atmosphere and the view of the water. My husband got the prime rib and he said it was delicious.”
“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.”
“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 😞”
“Amazing food and service. Parking can be a struggle depending on how busy they are. Brittany was absolutely amazing! Shrimp was excellent! Hush puppies were fresh and tasty. Save room for the dessert. Four of us enjoyed a late lunch for under $20 each. We were full when we left. Definitely worth the time and effort. Did I say Brittany was amazing?! Cash only.”
“I was on vacation when I saw this restaurant in St. Augustine FL. I saw the menu and said I have to go in and get something! 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“From the drinks to dessert everything was perfect. Once again, our dinner was fabulous! Steve had the filet, was outstanding. I had the tuna tartare stack, amazing! We shared the chocolate molten cake which was delicious, can’t find the appropriate word to describe because it was the BEST we have ever had. This is our favorite restaurant.”
“Wonderful restaurant in historic district. Steak and shrimp fajitas were outstanding including the corn tortillas. Delicious margaritas. Harry guided us through the menu creating a very welcoming experience from start to finish. Outside dining in a quiet area was a plus. Will definitely make this a regular dining destination!”
“Went here the first weekend they opened and for lunch to go. The beer selection is good, especially for international beers most places do not have. You HAVE to have the Bavarian Pretzel w/ beer cheese! It is Delicious! Their Hamburgers and fries are also delicious! Next try the fish and chips! I will make this a local haunt.”
“We vacation at least once or twice a year to Crescent Beach, and we ALWAYS visit Raga. The beach location is our closest and our favorite spot to visit. The food and service is spot on. I will be a fan and customer as long as they are around. Thank you for making fresh and delicious food! So happy to see the beach location is back! We can't wait to see you next time!”
“Last night we stopped at Maci’s Ice Cream in St. Augustine. We had a fantastic chocolate chip ice cream and we had a wonderful cherry vanilla ice cream. But interestingly the best part of the experience was meeting
Colin. This 18 year old Flagler college student was the heart and soul of Maci’s.
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.”
“Honestly such a find here. With a stop on every visit. The food is so unique and tasty. The vibes and staff are great too!
A few notes:
Sit inside the neighboring taproom for a good beer with your bowl
Portions on the hotbox are large, poke is just right
Poke isn’t what we’d traditionally expect, but it was good (raw onion and macadamia nuts really works)
Kaluah pork is super tender but a little salty
Don’t sleep on the musubi
Mac really wasn’t for us. Missing something (a little sriracha steps it up a notch)”

“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!”
