    Very unremarkable, chicken wings I got the garlic Parmesan and lemon pepper. They were well done and a true challenge to eat.

    Chicken tender sandwich

    Stopped here on a whim on the way to downtown St. Augustine to get some cheap food. The chicken tender sandwich was your basic sandwich but it hit the spot. The bar itself was chill, not many people at all. There were a couple slot machines, dart boards, and karaoke on certain nights. Dive bars are my favorite so this was definitely my style.

    Nice bartender

    I have passed this place for what seems all my life. I grew up in Jacksonville and as a kid traveling US1 to St Augustine I remember passing Arnold's. Well today I went in and was stepped back in time. This bar still has a 1960's feel. This place has a large bar numerous tables and a stage. It was mid afternoon so the crowd was light and the bartender friendly. I learned the building is 52 years old. What a treat to stop in have a cold beer! Thanks for the hospitality!

    First time in St. Augustine and we decided to do a local visit to Arnold's. The average price of a meal around town seems to be $20 we found out Arnold's has a Ribeye steak dinner with corn, green beans and a baked potato for $14.99. We made out way in and sat at the bar. The place was pretty full and several people were just drinking and chatting. There was only a couple of people that could serve and it was still great service. We ordered our drinks and we ordered our steak and met some pretty awesome people while waiting on our food. We never have met so many friendly people in our lives. Once our steaks arrived we both were extremely surprised with the size and the flavor of the Ribeyes. We didn't need any sauce and the temp was perfect. Our drinks were always kept full and the company was awesome. This is a local joint and the atmosphere is laid back and fun.

    Authentic northeast Florida place with great music. Open mic night is always a pleasant surprise. Weekends are fun for dance bands.

This is a place that won't seat you until the entire party has arrived (which is fine and totally fair) so we went to the bar to wait for the rest of the party. Absolutely wonderful decision. We had espresso martini, and Aperol spritz. Two drinks I could live off of, and they were near the top of the best I've had (I tried both this trip. Variety!) plus who doesn't love the color of an Aperol spritz at sunset?! Once our party arrived we were sat and we decided on just a bunch of appetizers. Had to start with Oysters. There were so many options and honestly I forget which we decided on - but the server mentioned they were a little small but tasty. Imagine our surprise when they were absolutely not small! We also had some fries which were the exact right amount of crispy and seasoned and some fish nuggets. Also perfectly crispy and seasoned. Our server was lovely. Kept our drinks full and had some fun banter with the table. Also, if you've not ever been make sure there isn't rain in the schedule because sitting outside is glorious. And they only have valet parking (also very pleasant people). Can't wait for my next visit!

We usually get the grouper fish sandwich or tacos. The Fresh Catch sandwiches is very good too. Fries are good but the onion rings are great. Drinks are good and the bucket of drink specials are a good value. Service is usually very good, although sometimes we get a lesser attentive server. Bartenders are solid. There are occasional bands playing in the afternoons which is a big plus. The sun can be a bit oppressive in the late afternoon summers. The umbrellas are ineffective at that time. Overall, I recommend Beaches for mid-day food and drink or late day entertainment and food.

    Great views and very friendly service. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating in a relaxed atmosphere…read more We went for lunch and tried the Marley Burger and the Seared Tuna Wrap. The Marley Burger was a tasty flavor bomb but you can't put this stacked deliciousness down once you start on it - ask for extra napkins ahead of time. The Tuna Wrap was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor. Both come with sides - we opted for the coleslaw and the beans with rice. While you're there, pick up some Minorcan Mike's Datil pepper products (salsa, rub, jelly, mustard and sauce) for home or hostess gifts.
