    Clean, friendly, fun!
    Dan B.

    The food was awesome! The service was friendly! And the atmosphere was relaxed! My family and I got so much food and the portions matched the price! Stop here next time you're in St Augustine, I suggest the Southwestern Egg rolls!

    Very polite and fast service we'll definitely be back

    Very quick and friendly staff. BLT and Easter island chicken sandwich was delicious. We'll have to come back with the kids

    Nachos with cheese

    Stopped in on a Sunday night (during December/St Augie Christmas festivities) but we were able to get seated before the rush. Our server was really nice and personable. She took our orders quickly and had pleasant conversation. Our food arrived pretty quickly and was hot and steamy. Here's what we got and our thoughts: Fish and chips - very good. Very mild and large portions. Aloha chicken - a chicken breast (I chose grilled) with ham and pineapple on top. I'm a sucker for pineapple. It was very, very good! Really nice sandwich. Nachos with cheese for the kid - they were.... Ok. To be fair, our server did warn us that it wasn't queso (we assumed it wasn't) but that it was nacho cheese. Kid was more than happy with nacho cheese. But.... It was more like... plain cheddar cheese sauce, like what comes in the Campbells can. It wasn't great. We were a little surprised by our total when the bill came, until we noticed that they automatically included a "large party 18% service fee". There were three of us. Two adults and a kid. I guess we didn't realize that three people is considered a "large party." Overall... it was a decent meal.

    The rundown: Nice, casual environment with friendly service and reasonable pricing. The review: As one of the few late night food restaurants open, we decided to give Barefoot Bill's a try. We were met with friendly staff and found a variety of burger options. I was glad to see there were a good number of toppings that could be chosen for no additional cost - always fun! I went with a burger and pasta salad side. The side was quite small, but good. The burger was decent. *Be advised they are cooked well-done so those of you preferring other temperatures may be disappointed. I appreciated the staff enthusiasm, especially at the later hour and while festivities were going on away from their location (this was during Halloween). If you're in the mood for something casual and you have limited options, I'd say give Bill's a go. They may not come off as the lost memorable, but they will take care of you.

    Blackened Shrimp Poboy

    I stumbled in for a quick bite to eat at Barefoot Bills Island Grill. There is an upbeat family, friendly vibe. Fun decor for the holidays and a bunch of tiki masks my blackened shrimp Poboy was awesome.. It was exactly what I expected plus the fries are delicious. Food is reasonably priced and certainly a value compared to all the other overpriced restaurants off of St. George. Marie was my server and she got me in and out of the restaurant quickly, which was my goal. Marie took great care of me. I look forward to coming back and trying other menu items, especially since I work nearby.

    Fish taco

    Had the fish tacos that were recommended by everyone...fish was soggy but seasoned ok...maybe a frozen tilapia that's was cooked. Not really all that great for 17$. Salt life has better fish tacos. A friend I ate with had raw chicken wings that were pink and bloody still. Don't think we will ever eat here again.

    Got seating quickly, considering it was a holiday weekend.. Ordered burger and tacosb since we knew that if we ordered any specials, it would take time as the place was packed due to the Christmas season.. The jerk burger has a kick to it as expected.. They were both good... Service was also good... They do have indoor and outdoor seating. It's located right in the center of the historic district..

    Not much atmosphere and the menu had nothing unique. We only sat at the bar and had a few drinks, but we did have a direct view of the kitchen and one of the cooks never once changed his gloves, even after handling raw chicken and then grabbing rolls with the same gloves had. Not much concern for food handling practices displayed. Definitely won't be back

    Quick little nibble before we venture out to sea for a couple hours. Grilled shrimp salad for Queen Bee and a burger with LTOP for me; no fries. I asked for slaw instead. We sat at the bar as the two lady barkeeps and one of the kitchen dwellers all day around and discussed online clothing purchases they wanna make. Personally, I don't really care but I don't think I should hafta listen in on people's personal business when I'm a guest of theirs. Anyway, Queen Bee loved her salad, topped by half a dozen good sized and well grilled shrimp...romaine, banana peppers, mozzarella cheese and tomatoes are other ingredients in the salad. That sucker went down faster than a fat kid on a see saw! She made a happy bowl even though it was a pretty big bowl anyway! Burger was charred outside and a decent medium well inside. Items I chose as toppings made for a slightly sloppy sammich but not horribly so. My only suggestion would be that they toast the rather plain ordinary (borderline crappy) bun! Slaw was a nice portion of great, creamy and slightly acidic bunch of Napa, purple cabbages and carrot. Way casual joint with very little vibe of any sort. Server was fairly attentive when she wasn't discussing fashion purchase choices with her coworkers. Food certainly was okay and then some. Three stars is STILL all it gets and I don't think we'd ever bother with this joint again. Eh

    Well...for a touristy area like St Augustine I think this place is exactly what you would expect for bar/food. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. Food came out quick and was good..not bad but not spectacular either. What really surprised/irritated me was they added an automatic tip for our party of 6 tho 4 of the party are 15 and under abs all ordered from kids menu. If it was 6 adults maybe I can see the auto tip but honestly when you do that I don't add anything else. If you don't trust an adult to add their own tip you're getting whatever you add yourself nothing more.

    Had a very good selection of beverages. Fun atmosphere-a good place to stop along your stroll in St Augustine

    Found this place while looking for somewhere to watch some NFL Sunday games while visiting the area. The staff was friendly, the drinks were cold, they had the game on, and the food was good enough to wander back one day if we wanted to. We ordered chicken nachos and another appetizer I forgot the name of...and it was a good size to share with some cold brews in hand. It's a small location and it's located at the end of a strip mall so seating might be a problem on some days.

    We were in town for a long weekend for a concert and planned to come here from dinner before we…read morewent back home. It came highly recommended from locals and online. Restaurant was easy to find and close to our hotel, plenty of parking. When we walked up, the views were nice as it's on the water. Nice signage. We walked in and were able to get seated inside right away (it was raining out otherwise we would have sat outside) but they sat us at a window seat so that was nice. Our server came by soon after, was attentive and friendly the rest of the evening. Appetizers - We ordered the gator tail and calamari. That must have been THE most tender calamari I've ever had! The breading was also very good and light - and the pepper sauce they give with it... wow very good! The gator was also very tender and good! Entrees - I ordered the Butter Rum Scallops and my husband ordered the Shrimp & Grits. My first bite of my entree was heavenly... I REALLY enjoyed it. It was sooooo good. That butter rum was something else. Scallops were perfectly cooked. My husbands was very good too - great flavor!! The grits were perfect. Then we ordered a Key Lime Pie to go (way too stuffed to eat it there lol!) but when we had some later that night... probably our favorite key lime pie ever! The consistency of it was like jelly like and it was SUPER good! Overall - a 10/10 experience here! Would definitely come back and hopefully on a nicer day so we can sit outside with the water views.

Bar was hopping, live music. It's giving outdoor tiki which we loved. Food was decent, on par with every other seafood restaurant in Florida. Our waitress was great. On to the negatives - the hostess stand and or management is disorganized. Came up at 8:20 and asked for a table of 4. We inquired about an over water tiki hut and were told they stop seating those at 8pm because it gets dark. That's fine. Was told a 45 min wait, we agreed to join the list through yelp. We asked for first available, indoor or outdoor. On the plus side, the wait ended up being closer to 30 mins. However, there were tons of free tables the entire time we waited. Tiki huts were empty. The whole inside only had 2 tables sat. We asked to see a menu while we waited and got an audible sigh and eye roll. When our table was called, the hostess called 4 other groups at the same exact time, leading to a lot of confusion. As we are sitting and eating (it's now 9:30) a couple walks in. They're led to a table on the patio and asks to go into a tiki hut instead, which they are promptly sat in after they clean it off. So we asked our waitress, what's the deal! She said oh just ask the hostess and they can put you on the list for those huts. So not sure what happened. Overall- ambience 8/10 Food 7/10 Service (waitress) 10/10 Management (hostess) 4/10 Not sure if we'll go back because of the disorganization, unnecessary wait times, and rude hostesses.

She lives in Saint Augustine and had chosen this location because it was walking distance from our hotel, very convenient. The restaurant was hopping on a Monday night and it was good she had made reservations. Although we had a great time, I felt the food was only OK given the marketing oversell in the menu. (All quotes following are from Columbia's menu). I often like to try a restaurant specialties, especially far from home. First I had "Columbia's Original "1905" Salad® The Columbia's legendary salad tossed tableside" as a side salad. It was nothing special, hardly "legendary". For the main course I again relied on the menu and chose "Merluza a la Rusa - A Columbia classic since 1935. Spain's favorite fish". Again, disappointing given the description. The fish was somewhat bland and the top coating was burnt. If this is Spain's "favorite fish"there must be a dearth of seafood there. For dessert I chose the Key lime Pie: "Key lime pie is the "Official Pie of the State of Florida."". Decent Key lime pie but nothing memorable. However, I must say the bread that comes to your table is outstanding. The Columbia is obviously a Saint Augustine institution but I wish the food had come closer to the flowery menu descriptions.
