“We came in about 45 minutes till closing time.. had Paige (AMAZING SERVICE) and got the fried green tomatoes were the best ones i have ever had in my life and we got the special which was scallop Rockefeller which was amazing as well. Paige asked questions to make sure everything we were getting was exactly what we wanted PLUS MORE. Wow. So blown away. I live 3 hours away and would drive this far to come and sit at a table Paige has eat some great food 10/10 recommend!”
“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!”
“Made a special trip to st Augustine on Memorial Day just to check out DJs. Extremely nice staff, and phenomenal fried clams. Had Both a cold and hot lobster roll, and a shrimp roll. I have to say I preferred the cold lobster roll over the hot, they were both very different so to try to compare the two isn’t fair. The cold one is so flavorful with some seasonings. The hot one was also good with just butter. The shrimp roll was also great! Because they were closing for the week they didn’t have any full bellies which is why I made the trip. But it’s okay because we will def be going back to eat!! Highly recommend”
“We had Tallarines Verdes with hanger steak and Mar Y Tierra. Both were amazing and a good portion size. For dessert we had Sacred Valley. It was so delicious that we contemplated ordering a second for the car ride home. If we are back in St. Augustine, we will be coming back to Llama.”
“If I could give 10 stars , I would! Food is incredibly good and creative with excellent products. Yes , you will wait a little bit but that is precisely a very good sign that everything is fresh and details oriented. The patio is charming, the service is incredible, you just have to go there to enjoy the best food in town. We are french and we will definitely come back to taste everything. Thank you for the great experience!”

“We’ve been coming to Ruby Tuesday every Thursday for a long time now, and one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back is *Kat*. She is hands down the best server we’ve ever had — not just here, but anywhere.
Kat always greets us with a smile, remembers our usual orders, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness make every visit feel like we’re dining with a friend. Even when the restaurant is busy, she never misses a beat and still gives us amazing service.
Kat truly makes Ruby Tuesday feel like a second home for us on Thursdays. We can’t say enough good things about her — she’s exceptional!
Thank you, Kat, for being the absolute best!

“The food was absolutely amazing and the service what quick and efficient.
We were starving when we got here, so I forgot to take pictures of the avocado roll, cucumber roll, and teriyaki tofu.
Every single the thing we got was amazing! And the teriyaki plate was so large that we ended up splitting it and so full we could barely eat the fried Oreos we got for dessert!”

“It’s always a pleasure and the service is always great!”
“Really fresh, good food. Blackened chicken wrap, fries, sprouts all good. Service good. Will be back”
“Spectacular experience! Great food, awesome service and wonderful atmosphere! Perfect date night!! (P.S. try the duck!)”
“Disclaimer: I’m a native Texan, traveling on vacation.
This place offered an elevated dining experience. It wasn’t your typical local food joint. We only had appetizers and drinks, but that was enough to know it was exactly what our foodie hearts were craving.
We tried two craft cocktails—the Double Vision and the Lavender Haze. Whoever came up with the idea of mixing carrot, ginger, whiskey, and fennel was pure genius. It was such an exciting drink, perfectly made—we could’ve easily had a few more. The lavender drink was equally refreshing and intoxicating.
Small menu - which we love. We like when restaurants perfect everything, instead of a large menu where everything is mediocre.
We enjoyed the fish and sausage egg roll.
I’m a Minorcan chowder girl, and I could’ve easily swum in a bathtub of that tasty conch soup. It was that good.
The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful, setting the perfect vibe for an intimate experience. Everything about the vibe was just right.”
“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 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.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Michael's. We thought that the cocktail menu was very innovative and enjoyed our choices. We ordered the crab and skillet shrimp and although both very good, the shrimp surpassed expectations. Highly recommend the dish. My husband had an excellent and creative fish special and I ordered the swordfish, which was somewhat disappointing because the edges had the odd, fishy taste that sometimes comes when a fish has been sitting on ice and gets watered down (hard to describe). My preparation was fine and the fish was better towards the middle of the cut We appreciated our seating arrangement that was requested due to an illness. It made our night so much more relaxing. Our evening was perfect and that is what will make our anniversary memorable. The only suggestion I have is to slow the timing down a bit. We did feel rushed and even tried to control the pace a bit by not ordering our entrees right away. Our appetizers came quickly which was great but our meals should have been put in a bit later. Thank you for a great night overall.”
“I love that they use tallow to deep fry their food, the craft cocktails are amazing, highly recommend the hibiscus margarita. Also the service is awesome here. ❤️”
“Great service and an amazing difference from the prior occupant in this location. We really enjoyed the attentive and pleasant nature of the service staff. The food was well prepared and entertaining. The sushi was good as well as the hibachi meals. I agree with many of the other positive reviews and I am happy that I have this restaurant a try after ownership and name change. It is definitely well worth it and I will recommend to my neighbors and friends.
Parking: Plenty of parking in front as lot is not used much at night.”

“I had the vegan version of the breakfast burrito, and it was truly scrumptious! In addition, the hibiscus & champagne beverage i ordered was perfect! The lady serving me was very friendly, as was the other lady working with her. I definitely intend to return, and based on this initial experience I highly recommend this place:: great vibe, food, decor etc.!”
“Visiting from Maine and stopped at Woodpeckers for lunch. I’m not sure anything back home compares! Everything was delicious, quick service and friendly staff. Definitely recommend the mac and cheese and Datil bbq sauce. I will absolutely be back on future visits to the area.”

“My wife and I had breakfast there and the food was great tasting, very friendly and fast service plus excellent prices. It’s a small restaurant with a feel at home atmosphere. We live in Ohio and will definitely eat here (several times) on our next visit to St Augustine FL.”
“We absolutely love St. Augustine restaurants, and somehow this is the first time we’ve found this hidden gem! Now that we’ve found this place, it will by far be our go to breakfast spot. The biscuits and burritos are out of this world delicious! We can’t wait to go back and try more items. The atmosphere was amazing and great people! Run, go eat here ASAP!”
“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Quickly became our favorite restaurant in St. Augustine! Food & service are amazing!”

“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!”

“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'm so grateful to Forgotten Tonic for offering creative plant-based dishes alongside excellent options for omnivores like my husband. It's so rare for me to find a restaurant where I have more than one truly plant-based option to choose from—and every bite was delicious! We celebrated our 24th anniversary here and had a fantastic experience. We'll definitely be back!”
“The Press is one of our favorite restaurants!! Very comfortable environment and their service and food NEVER disappoints! Dinner tonight was delicious as always - shout out to our waitress Angela and Chefs Jessica and Chelsea. Best in St Augustine!! Check out their Nightly Specials 🍷🍺🍹”

“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!”
“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..”
“Tori is an amazing server ! She was super attentive and funny even when it was busy. We come to this location pretty often, and it’s always really good, but the service made it an extra great trip today.”

And they were!! Michael bright a complimentary bagel 🥯 LOADED with cream cheese and jalapeños. A minute later the largest, piping hot, DELICIOUS egg , cheese and bacon bagels arrived with our specialty coffees! Sloan and Michael, the owners, take care of their customers and produce an excellent product!!! Sweetwater will our first stop next time we visit!”

“OMG this place is bangin’! A must try for sure, especially if you are an out-of-tower like me! Osprey tacos just took tacos to a new level for me! My fiancé and I were very happy with our choices. We both agreed the Pork Fried Rice was by far the best taco between the two of us! It’s pictured with a Carnita Tradition Style on a flour corn tortilla.
The breeze on the porch was nice, and we loved the big picnic tables! Vibe was chill, and conveniently located next to Olde Coast Ales Brewery.”
“Tiktok Bullrider726. Started with Gator, it was absolutely phenomenal! Then had the calamari, crab burger and crab legs, everything was cooked perfectly 👌 The datil sauce was so incredible, bought a couple jars of it. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. 1st trip in, will not be the last!”
“My husband and I live in Palm coast and when we make the trip to St. Augustine, this place is always a must! We’ve been a few times now and each time they are so friendly and fast with the service. I really appreciate how child-friendly they are, they always treat our toddler with such kindness and patience. One time that we went they even brought him out a dessert of ice cream! They are the best and so is the food. The buffets they have during the week are always hot, fresh and tasty as well.”
“Was a little bit of a wait to get seated but well worth it! Bobby took great care of us and made sure everything was perfect. The food was presented perfectly and tasted as great as it looked. Will definitely visit again!”

“We stopped at the Red Clover which is Frankie’s, a real Chicago style restaurant. The roast beef is the best I have had in Florida. The cook is Frank and he is from Chicago. He cooks everything fresh right here. The specialty items he needs, like the sausage are brought in from Chicago. This is a MUST try! From the French Fry’s that were perfectly crispy to the Au Jus was perfectly crafted . If you Love good Authentic Italian Chicago food, then Frankie’s is your place!”
“We celebrated my birthday in Vilano and my husband chose this bakery for my cake. He couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place!! Not only was the cake everything I wanted and more!!!! But it was beyond delicious!!!! Thank you Dana for making my birthday so special 😊”
“This is a hidden gem, so I’ll type type quietly. The food here is fresh, tasty and good looking! I had the salmon salad. The salmon was fresh with a smoky flavor. Bottom was nicely done with-a brown crisp to it Home made salad dressing was tossed with the salad. Salad had greens,capons , mushrooms, red onion, cheese and a very good flavor. Hubby had the shrimp wrap with a spinach tortilla. Delightful flavor all around”

“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.”
“We have gone to La Cocina over the last 25 years at 3 locations. This is the most scenic location. The food and service, as always, was impeccable. I had the Filet, my wife the shrimp. Absolutely wonderful.”
“Some of the best Italian Cuisine I have ever had in my life! Beautiful dining area, and amazing service all around! Highly recommended!”
“Ashley took such good care of our family! We each got something different (kids Alfredo, kids spaghetti and meatball, lasagna, & chicken Marsala and dessert-gelato for the kids and bread pudding for my husband & I to share) everything was amazing! Thank for for giving us a wonderful wedding anniversary dinner 💞 we have been to this location a few times and it’s never been a disappointment!”
“We had a wonderful experience here and the dining area so pristine. Delicious eats and we also loved our waitress. Went with my sister and her boyfriend. Parking was great . Overall just a good time!”
“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 an exciting time celebrating our graduates, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The pizza was absolutely delicious, and we indulged in three mouthwatering varieties. And let me tell you, the house salad was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor! I can't recommend this place enough—it’s a must-try!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“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. 🤢”
“Honestly, cool place. Only complaint I have was how small the oysters are for the price. It was $40+ for a dozen. So we'll over $3 each, and they were ridiculously tiny.”
“Sheri was awesome! Very neat and tucked away hidden gem. Culinary skills in the kitchen are a big stand out. A lot of homemade in-house recipes that left us wanting more. The bottle of proseco chosen for us was the icing on the cake. We will back for sure....”
“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.”
“This trading post and museum in Saint Augustine is an amazing experience that has to be seen. The history is rich here and we'll worth the trip and don't forget to buy something from the shop. Finally jump on the trolly and take a tour of this amazing city.”
“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.”
“Last night we made a dinner reservations quite late The food was very good We were the last ones but were given excellent service We would definitely come again The server Spencer was really on point”
“Thanks to the crappy service and environment at Yamato (just got up and left before the drink orders) we were able to find Mikato!! Very professional with a classy environment just how it’s supposed to be, and the service was impeccable and accommodating UNLIKE Yamato!! Our server Jada who had such a cute personality was amazing, and Bob (yeah right lol), our Hibachi Chev was so funny we had such a great time!!!! We will definitely be back!!! (see you tomorrow lol). Thank you for a great birthday celebration for our son…. It was exactly what he deserved!!! Well done!!”
“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.”
“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 !”
“Had a WONDERFUL experience with Tyler our waiter this past weekend. Great atmosphere, friendliness and the food was some of the beat you could ask for!”
“Last evening we had a delightful and delicious dinner. Rum pour was generous. JJ was our outstanding and friendly waitress. She made our dinner special with her attentiveness. We will continue to return to this gem and hope JJ is our waitress again.”
“Savannah did a Great job serving us ,truly an a person to be working at your location”
“The staff all throughout this hotel was remarkable. From front desk, valet, restaurant to pool…everyone was so kind, courteous, helpful and just fun! Amazing hotel that we highly recommend and will definitely be back!”
“Absolutely fantastic service was very convenient fast food service our server Ashley knew all the answers to everything and she ordered for us we were not disappointed at all and have been there every time we visit. Lovely atmosphere must see”
“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.”
“I had the corned beef, cabbage and
Potatoes. The corned beef and potatoes were very good, The cabbage was a bit too hard. The waitress did get me another order of cabbage but it was still too hard for my liking and what I’m accustomed to”
“I love their pizza and other food items. I go there often beautiful atmosphere and great music. A lot of fun!”
“What an amazing experience! If you love wine and food you won’t regret it. Ed was an awesome tour guide!”

“I was there on October 7th, and I will come back here any time I return to the city. The prices are beyond reasonable, the food was great, and the bartender was awesome. Would recommend to anyone who visits St. George Street.”
“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.”
“Small and quaint, lovely staff, food was fast and yummy!!! Highly recommend over chain restaurants. EAT LOCALLY and support small businesses”
“Fantastic view on the deck. We are right on tbe water and see the alligator, turtles, and fish. My fish was great and my wife had the all you can eat salad bar. She thought the potato salad was very good.”
“The grand opening of the Texas Roadhouse in St. Augustine was a bustling affair, with diners pouring in non-stop. The managers and staff were well-prepared and eager to serve. As I arrived, I noticed the addition of a To Go walk-up window, a fantastic concept that I'll surely use in the future. Our dining experience was delightful, thanks to our server Taylor. She was incredibly pleasant and knowledgeable, making our time there enjoyable. Despite my son running late, she remained patient as I held the table for an extended period. While waiting, I couldn't help but notice Nay, one of the servers, who stood out from the rest. She was not only efficient and diligent but also showed compassion and care. I watched in awe as she communicated with an elderly couple using sign language, engaging them in full conversations. The couple looked so happy and appreciative of Nay's genuine personality, and I was equally impressed. I made sure to inform Nay's manager, Chase, of my observations. The staff's genuine desire to make the dining experience enjoyable is what will bring me back in the near future.”
“My wife and I did our rehearsal dinner at the taberna and they were phenomenal.The food was sneaky good, I would definitely recommend the plantains, the beans, and most importantly the short rib. The bacon wrapped scallops rocked too!Autumn and her team took tremendous care of our whole group. I can’t say thank you enough.”
“I recommend O.C. White's for the service. I followed Corey the bartender over from his previous gig. He is always johnny on the spot with your food and drinks and ALWAYS hilarious. Stop by and get your favorite libation and a dose of Corey's personality!”
“Me and my family have dined here every time when visiting St Augustine and the food has never disappointed me yet, fresh food and a great atmosphere!”
“The host was very sweet and welcoming. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Food was delicious and large portions. I had the Mediterranean pasta that was hot to the last bite and had delicious flavor. My server recommended the Dirty banana frozen drink. It was amazing= an adult milkshake. Sunset was gorgeous.”
“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.”
“Perhaps because of the night lights in the city, there were quite a few people shopping. The place was nice. Everything I ate was delicious.
It was worth the wait.
I loved your Christmas decoration.
It is not economical.”
“The food was great and the beer system was completely unique. Definitely recommend”

“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.”
“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 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“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.”
“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!!!!”

“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 tried Mojo BBQ for the first time last Friday night during Nights of Lights. We walked right in and sat at the bar. Bartender was very friendly and attentive. Drinks were good and food came out pretty fast and was delicious! Will definitely go back during our next St. Augustine visit.”
“Our favorite spot to end the day when visiting St. Augustine! The drinks are great and fairly priced. When you go, make sure to ask to sit in Will’s area. Will has always been our server when there over the past couple of years and actually remembered us a year later after our 1st week there. Maybe we spent a little too many evenings here… Nah!”

“We were visiting St Augustine for a couple of days and both of our dinners were from Carmelo’s pizza. The first night we had supreme special pizza. Yum! Last night was lasagna and salad with artichoke, peppers, feta cheese and more. Sorry didn’t remember the name of it. It also was delicious! If we come back to St Augustine, we will be eating here. Not only because the food is delicious but everyone is happy and really great at customer service. Jean - on the left both times on the phone with our orders but also in person makes you feel like you are the most important customer in the shop. I am a manager in customer service and the service she gave to me and the customer service that the team gives each other is outstanding. This is how a business is run: great food, customer service and team work! Thank you Jean and everyone for making our anniversary weekend special and delicious.”

“Wow! Came here because Calico Cactus supports the community (teacher appreciation love), but will return often because it was a great experience! Amanda, Robin and Isabel treated us like we were family! It's so clean and lovely inside! The food was out of this world! I'm not a big fan of breakfast tacos but now I can get enough! The way the homemade tortilla wraps softly around the crispy potato and scrambled egg made it the perfect handheld! The cheeses and sauces tied it together with great flavor and right amount of kick. The iced coffee cooled me down on a hot summer day-such a perfect brunch! Can't wait to bring friends!”
“Fantastic food and views! Order when you walk in the go pick your table. Everything was fresh and the food came out fast. BEST fish dip ever! The only other time we’ve had fish dip this good was at the island Mirada Fish Company! Manager Scott and all the other staff working tonight were great! We can’t wait to visit again!”
“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.”
“Try a flight of European beer and have the pretzel and fries! The owners are locals and are awesome. Cozy, friendly, casual atmosphere. Great for game day! So happy to have such a unique pub in the neighborhood!”
“We went for lunch - everything and everyone was wonderful. The Fish Dip was the best we have had in St A.”
