50 Best American Restaurants near St. Augustine Beach

“We’ve gone to Sunset Grille several times on vacation. The food is always tasty, great staff, and I love the outside dining upstairs. It’s scenic and enjoyable in every way. Highly recommend going there.“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“We had a celebration of life for my Dad here today. They did a brunch buffet. The staff and food were wonderful. We had a private room. Highly recommended!“

“What can I say about this place that our waitress didn’t do to make it amazing and memorable! Catie was fantastic! Very sweet, very bubbly and on it! I had the best time because of her attention to detail. She was just great. Took our plates away after every “meal,” she kept our table clean and friendly with her energy and enthusiasm. She recommended the Brussels and they were on point! She made this a great time for us. She sets the bar high for all other establishments! Well done.“

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“My love and I enjoyed breakfast at The West Egg. We primarily chose to go there based on the great reviews and the fact that they had keto options.

The service was wonderful. The woman who took our order and brought our food out was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was perfectly cooked and delicious.

Seating is limited so we knew there was a possibility that we would get it to go if necessary. We were happy to sit right outside.

The reviews were correct!“

“The beef Wellington was spectacular and the crispy duckling was outstanding. One of the best meals we’ve ever had from start to finish.“

“We were sat upon arrival for our reservation. The leather bound EXTENSIVE meno was a nice touch. Ethan, our waiter, was jovial, attentive, but not hovering. We took our time ordered drinks (Raising Cane was a fun, different flavor!). The meatballs were unique and "exotic" spices as claimed in the menu. The tuna tartar had a little bit of kick with flavoring, but the highlight was the grilled toast. We shared a small tossed salad which was just the right amount after two apps. Our mains were Duck Pappardelle (special) and pasta al vodka with chicken thighs. Both were outstanding, with nice portions size. As we were leaving my husband gave his best review "We need to come back here, there are several other things I'd like to try!" A nice after dinner walk back to our car, parked on the river. (Give yourself plenty of time to get parked and walk, as there is no direct parking on these beautiful old brick streets.)“

“Excellent dinner and service. I would highly recommend.“

“One of the best in area.“

“Ate there twice on our short trip. You will usually have leftovers. Awsome food and service“

“Delicious food!! so glad we saw this place while turning around in the parking lot. the food was fresh and absolutely yummy. definitely will be going there again! had the turkey bacon sandwich on a bed of lettuce instead and added avocado. wow! and the sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection.“

“Good atmosphere. Mostly the food was good but my steak in the Asado Trio was super chewy (I tried 2 bites and had to embarrassingly spit them out into my napkin). The chicken, chorizo and veggies were great! Very disappointed I mentioned this out to our waitress and no apology from management or acknowledgement. For the price one would expect top notch food.“

“I went to visit the area first time, the service received from (Andrew) our server was amazing, friendly and attentive. Food and atmosphere was great, prices reasonable. Will definitely come back!“

“Had higher hopes for this evening… atmosphere was point, music selection was good but loud. Did turn down later. Service was kinda slow and could be more attentive, but was very nice. Cocktails were good. Great story about Horse Soldier Bourbon. Great bourbon selection, enjoyed craft cocktails. Food was just alright and was very expensive. Two cocktails, one app, one salad and a steak $111. Probably wouldn’t eat here again but would stop in for cocktails. No parking, wouldn’t bring kids here, wheel chair accessible.“

“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!“

“Best food around and great service! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Was here during the Christmas Eve time (about 3 weeks ago). Not many places were open...which was to be expected. But The Irish Pub attached to this is killer. Love the ambiance of both Meehans (Backyard) and the (Irish Pub). A definite must while in town.“

“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.“

“This evening didn’t go as planned when the Bridge of Lions decided it didn’t want to fully close. We had to take a detour on our bikes to find dinner. As we cruised by other places at the beach that were extremely crowded and had been told we wouldn’t be seated until 10 or after at one, we went back to Little Margie’s FA Cafe! It was after 8, but we were greeted and told we could sit anywhere we would like. We chose an outdoor table and had our food in record time! The service and food was on point! We’ve had take out from here previously on another trip to town, and had liked the food then too. We will definitely be back!“

“Food was amazing!!!“

“worst place to work, store managers transfer o.t hours to next pay period or remove them all together to avoid paying the employee o.t. they write people up when off the clock and lie on the write up when threatened to be reported to the labor board. they also hit sex offenders in management positions and change employees schedules without notice and write them up if they do not show up. They also write people up for being late even when the person calls and tells them they will be late.“

“Ordered food from there yesterday and it was amazing! The jerk chicken quesadilla was outstanding and the three taco combo was phenomenal! BBQ super tender. Shrimp - super fresh. Highly, highly recommend. Was enough for two meals!“

“We had Sporks cater our wedding December 14, 2024, and they did a phenomenal job! Miles and Libby were so helpful. The food and service was phenomenal - plus we love their restaurant too! Highly recommend them if you have a function that needs catering!“

“Always a pleasure and treat at Mango Mango - we have been going frequently since it opened. The service is cheerful and accommodating, food is excellent - love the fish dinner- and moderately price. Can't get much better casual dining“

Kid-friendliness: Wonderful to children“

“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!“

“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“

“Delicious meals for my family of 4 with great service and love the ambiance inside. Very kid friendly with butcher paper on the table so we could doodle while we waited. Saturday lunch time and we still had no wait to be seated. Will definitely be back!“

“My mom and I ate here together we loved it. She passed away a month ago and I just found a picture of her inside Gypsy Cab 😭😭😭😭😭😭 ty for being here so long!“

“We had amazing service when we went in this morning. We've never been here so it was nice to just stop by and check it out. ?

I have to say the food was quick and fresh a little bland. But I definitely would go back again and try something else the other pictures seem very enticing to try something with fruit or the French toast.

The food portion was great and we shared it.

Ordered hot water with lemon and she gave us extra hot water in the tall cups it was perfect. ❤️

The atmosphere was nice and great music was playing.“
