The Florida Cracker Cafe

We come to St Augustine several times a year with our dogs. This is always our #1 restaurant and eat there a few times each trip. Staff is super friendly and the food is delicious. Would give it a 10 our of 10!

We went on a Friday evening, and Tori was our waitress. She was amazing! My husband had the blackened trigger fish sandwich and I had the fish and chips. The fish from the fish and chips was great. Fried perfectly. Most places you'll get fish soggy at the bottom, but somehow they nailed it. Throughout the whole meal, not only was the food hot, but the fish was crispy! We will definitely be back!

The attraction here is alligator tail meat. Not my thing but hubby and grandson liked it.

A must stop if you're in Old Town. We stopped by 2 weeks ago (because it's a favorite) after doing the tasting at City Gate Distillary. Well, I felt the tasting because I had not had enough food beforehand. The waitress and Bar staff was incredible where we were seated. I accidentally knocked over a glass of tea and made a mess and they didn't get mad at me over it. (In my defense the tabletop was wobbly too). All in all, we've always had great service and food here and I recommend it to my friends coming here too. Thanks to a wonderful staff for the friendly, fast service and taking time out when it was slower to chat too. Y'all the best!!

Best shrimp po’boy I’ve ever had— crispy, lightly breaded shrimp, flavorful sauce, and crisp veggies. Excellent, friendly service. Indoor and outdoor seating with a nice cafe atmosphere.

We came in at 12:30 on a Monday with a party of 20. They handled the split checks and changing kids orders masterfully. The server was very hospitable. We all thought the food was very good. I had the crab cake sandwich with a cucumber salad and thought it was delicious.

My family and I love the Florida Cracker Cafe. Everytime we are in Florida, we are going to St. Augustine to go to this restaurant. The food is amazing and my family loves the shrimp and I also always got a delicious vegetarian black bean wrap even though it’s not on the menu.
The staff is always very welcoming and nice and the atmosphere is amazing.
Highly recommended!

Reasonable spot on highly touristy St. George St. Food is good, themed to old North Florida. Really enjoyed the freshly-made Key Lime Pie.

Everything was amazing! The gator tail was tender and delicious! Our server was also amazing!

Located right on St George Street.

Enjoyed dining here. Casual fun atmosphere. Staff is friendly, efficient and treats you like family. The camaraderie shows and is fun to watch.

Started with delicious Conch Fritters and wine. My partner enjoyed her fried fish sandwich. My grilled Mahi sandwich was the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had. It was cooked perfectly.

Went 7PM on a Friday night and enjoyed sipping our wine and beer and food while listening to a live singer. Very pleasurable as we could still enjoy conversation while the singer played in the background. We sat inside but there’s outside tables under a tiki style roof closer to the singer. Outdoors is pet friendly and one couple even brought their well behaved dog. Next door is a homemade candy shop- threw in a photo of that also. ?

Overall, this was a warm, friendly fun experience with delicious food. I will be back!

We had the shrimp po boy, it was very good! Our server Chris was awesome! The only downside was the vinegar smell from a burst bottle. Otherwise, great.

The atmosphere was nice outside offering live music on the patio. The service was fast and friendly but some things could have been better. The food was where the problem came in for us. We decided to just order apps as we looked over the menu. We ended up with a large portion of peel and eat shrimp. They were fresh and large but lacked seasoning of any sort. The cocktail sauce didn't really help, also lacking flavor. The worse choice of the day was the fried gator tail. Mostly spicy over seasoned breading with little actual taste of gator meat coming through. Thinking cheap distributor based quick fry option. At the end of it, we ordered 2 apps, 1 beer and 1 sweet tea (which was delivered unsweet) the total was just under 50 bucks. We left and went somewhere else to actually get a good meal.

If you are looking for real good quality meal rather than quick serve style, I would say skip it.

Sorry to be harsh, but it is my honest opinion. The quality of food wasn't good but they didn't do anything to wrong. Staff and service good. Again, bad quality of food.

We had the Shrimp Po Boy and the Shrimp Salad Wrap, with pasta salad and fries. Happy Hour from 12-5:00 was a pleasant surprise!
