Saint Augustine Beach Restaurants

I don't see this little place listed online in any of St Augustine Beach's places to eat. If it weren't just around the corner from the room we were renting, we probably would not have stopped in to give it a try. Good things come to those who travel and explore!

There are no indoor tables, a few within a screened porch, a couple of picnic tables outside - apparently for smokers, but we ate there because we had our dog with us. The Taco Shop seems to be run by a couple of 20 something, well-inked young ladies who have a good thing going for them. The food is good, as is the service.

Favorite Dish: I had the nachos plate. If your mind immediately conjures up images of the nachos you get at that national chain, delete that thought. This is different. Freshly made chips, pulled pork, lots of cheese (two types), pico de gallo, lettuce, sour cream. None of those paste-like refried beans you get at other places. Absolutely delicious!

My wife ordered a large taco (also with pulled pork), which she enjoyed, then helped me finish off that large serving of nachos.

The place is down town at the marina, they have flyers in every publication. We arrived on a thursday evening @ 730 and thought the place would be packed. they had 3 tables! I knew then we were in trouble. The average age of the employees was 75 (No kidding) everything u said u had to say twice. They tried to seat us next to a family of 8 with 2 small children screaming at the top of their lungs. We asked to be seated somewhere else. 2 glasses of cheap wine was 9.00 per glass. The menu was expensive for a grease menu (fried shrimp etc... The table with the kids continued to let the children holler. The food was horrible!!!!When we got the bill it was 100.00. We ask the waiter if he could take 20% off the bill because we had to listen to the next tables children holler for 1 hour. He said "no" and went and got the manager, she was 100 years old. She said it was not her fault and would call the police if we didnt pay the full amount. She was go n 2 call the police on a tourist!!!!! We paid and left

Favorite Dish: none the food was horrible

Friendly service with good food. I feel as though the price was very fair for being on the beach. I recommend you stop by.

Favorite Dish: I got "The Whaler." If you do not like spicy food then I recommend you sit this one out. The sandwich was loaded with the peppers and onions and most importantly, full of flavor. I included the menu description from the website.

Whaler 7.95
Grilled grouper or fried flounder served with grilled onions, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, roasted bell peppers and melted provolone on a toasted kaiser.

Friends took us out to this beach bar/restaurant. The outside tables were full so we sat inside. Service was uneven, but the food was good and was not expensive.

The restaurant is right on the beach. In normal weather, the outside tables are full of beach goers. A sign on the door says "Shirt and shoes required after 5:30 pm"

Favorite Dish: On a second visit, we had the special which was meatloaf sandwich for $5.95. I had jalapeno cheese grits with mine, and Bob had homefries with his.
