The Florida Cracker Cafe

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 happened in at 8:40 on Saturday night not realizing they closed at 9. We felt terrible but they never made us feel bad!!! We had burgers and fries and chicken strips. Those burgers were so amazing! And the chicken was too. Great food and great service. Our server never made us feel rushed and was so attentive and kind. We will definitely go back!

We stopped here years ago, but couldn't remember why we didn't care for it much, so we gave it another try.

The best part was the cornbread platter. The potato salad was probably the worst potato salad I've ever had. The shrimp was okay, other restaurants in the area have a better product. My wife enjoyed the sandwich.

Our server was friendly, but she rushed us and even took the menu out of our hands before we ordered everything we wanted. She did it to my wife and then to me, I didn't get to order something else I wanted to try because she started walking away after she took my menu.

We will not be returning.

My brother and I and our 2 dogs Teddy and Edgar ate there last night and the staff could not get enough of coming out to say hello to our 2 goodest boys! The food was great, the guy playing guitar and singing was very good. I've been to St Augustine a million times and have never eaten here but have wanted to. This time when I parked my car the parking attendant gave us a 10% off coupon so I decided it's time and with the outdoor seating for the pups it was perfect. Glad we stopped in and will do it again!
