    Coming up from beach after sun set
    Courtney G.

    This place is a cute beach spot right off beach. We sat outside and it was a nice evening out! Our waitress was so nice and helped us make great choices! Fish of day was triggerfish and we both had it different ways.both were very tasty! Hubby got a beer I got mixed drink from Menu and it was perfect! I was so full! We also got motzarella squares that were good too!! After dinner we walked to beach at sunset.. perfect night!!!

    Definitely a five-star experience from beginning to end! This was our first time at Beachcomber, and I didn't realize that the cars queuing up were primarily there to pull their pickup trucks onto the beach - while I was waiting I was approached by the parking attendant who guided my wife and I directly to a convenient spot right near the front entrance - very much appreciated. Once we arrived, we were seated in a comfortable booth outside - the beach area can get hot, but this restaurant has good covering and plenty of fans blowing. The food itself is casual beach fare... Crab dip, shrimp and everything was just wonderful. Iced tea drinks were refilled frequently, and service was overall excellent. Pricing is very reasonable, and a good value for the area. This was a fun place to spend a Sunday afternoon, and we'll definitely be back.

    My husband chose this place for lunch today and I am so glad he did because we have lived in the area for four years and I had no idea it was even here. It is on the beach at A street in St. Augustine Beach. Parking is tight so try to arrive when they open. We arrived at 11:15 and it was already pretty full. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside. Even though it was hot outside, the fans and the roof covering helped out a lot. The menu has plenty of appetizers, salads, tacos, handhelds and entrees. We decided to go with all appetizers. We started with the steamed peel and eat shrimp and it was delicious. Next we had the crab and spinach dip. Another good choice. Our final appetizer was the surfside sampler. It came with coconut shrimp, gator tails and fried mozzarella sticks. All three items tasted good. The ambiance is chill and beachy.

    Great little beach cafe with a full bar. Lots of locals and touists. Some tasty sea food - something for everyone. Family friendly. Just outside St Augustine. Short walk to the beach. .

    Angry crab sandwich
    Jamie M.

    Fun restaurant right by the beach! Food was delicious and very dog friendly. They provided a water dish for our pup and they have two items on the kids menu for pups. Service was fast and friendly. We had the bohemian fish, angry crab sandwich, classic burger, and rum cake. All dishes were very well seasoned and yum.

    Chicken Tacos (today's special) and roasted vegetables
    Susan H.

    Laid back, cool place located on the beach. Both indoor and outdoor seating, we chose to dine outdoors. The staff is friendly and our waitress was attentive and checked on us often. Our orders started with Minorcan Clam Chowder - chunky and just spicy enough and so delicious! The Sicilian Calamari was lightly breaded and tender. Loved the pop of pickled banana peppers mixed in with a parmesan topping. The mains of Chicken Tacos which was today's special , juicy and tender chicken, and vegetable medley was perfectly seasoned and tender, yet crisp. The Swordfish sandwich did not disappoint with the meaty texture and blackening seasoning. The Dill Potato Salad was solid in its pickly, savory flavor. What a great experience between the relaxed outdoor atmosphere and really good food. These people know what they're doing. Can't wait to return!

    Happy hour tuna appetizer
    Ed S.

    Wow. A short line for an outside table at 330 pm on a Thursday so we figured we stumbled onto a good spot. My wife had the crab ravioli and although the portion looked small it was rich and very filling. I had the tuna app and we shared a crab cake app. All very good. Service was superb and never had to go looking for a server. And the best part... it's on the ocean but because of the dunes you don't really see it but it's great for a post meal walks. Love the food and the beach vibe ! We will be back.

    Shrimp Tacos and Potato salad
    Donald H.

    went with friends to the Beachcomber on St Augustine Beach for the first time. The atmosphere's is cozy beach with its of outdoor tables and a smallish inside area decorated in typical beach style. Three of us had tacos (two had shrimp and I had fish) and all three were tasty and perfectly cooked. The tacos come with a side and two had potato salad and I had a nice, creamy coleslaw. The other person ordered a hamburger which he said was a good nice sized burger and he ordered a good chunky manhattan style clam chowder. Everyone's food was very good and we'd all return again if we wanted to eat on the beach. HOWEVER, please be aware that the parking lot is minuscule and they had a parking attendant to guide you into a tight parking space. and the parking spaces would have been almost impossible to exit if the attendant wasn't there to help guide you out. even then it was a hassle. this dropped my rating from 4 stars to 3.

    Great location! I loved being on the water and feeling the breeze. Evryone loved their food. Our server Hannah was awesome, and made great recommendations. I will definitely be back!

    Trigger fish with beans and rice
    Andy C.

    What a GEM find. Came upon Beachcomber driving A1A. Parking is crazy but you may luck out by the restaurant. Lots of 4x4 enter the beach here so you may have to drive around them. Food counch fritters were excellent. Buttermilk ceaser salad with shrimp is large and very good. Trigger fish sandwich special was also very good. Great full service bar. Service was very good and friendly. Place was busy be prepared to wait for a table. Outdoor seating and some limited inside seating plus bar. Highly recommended

    Margaritas.
    Julie T.

    Wonderful view. Great service by Will! We had the clam chowder the Thai Cobb salad and the grouper fingers and all were excellent. We had the happy hour margaritas in Palomas and they were fabulous. Highly recommend this place. Don't doubt it when you drive up because it's excellent.

    Entry to restaurant

    Our group was down for the Florida Georgia game and discovered this fun spot by the beach that is dog friendly! The food & service were excellent! I had the chowder which is tomato based with ample amount of seafood and very flavorful. The fish sandwich which 3 of our group had was Trigger fish and was cooked perfectly whether it was blackened or grilled. All other entrees were tasty! If in the St. Augustine area I would highly recommend checking this place out! Thanks for a fun experience!

    My wife and I have visited The Ice Plant several times over the years, and it remains one of our…read morefavorite dining destinations in St. Augustine. The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

    Good atmosphere and the food coming out of the kitchen looked and tasted great -- no complaints…read morethere. The Bloody Mary is where it lost me. $15 is a serious price for a cocktail, and mine arrived as a tall glass of ice with what was left over poured around it. By the time I was a few sips in, it was mostly meltwater. For that money I'd expect the drink to outlast the ice. Suggestion for the house: given the name, lean into it. Send everyone home with a free bag of ice -- at least then I'd feel like I paid for something I got to keep. Would go back for the food. Would think twice before ordering another cocktail.

It gave modern tiki bar feeling, it was clean and felt very warm and inviting. We sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender and a very extensive and beautiful leather bound menu! I loved that haha! They had everything from classic tiki drinks, to modern, to drinks by liquor type, etc. It had the food menu, some information about the bar and how it came about. We ordered a few drinks: Bushido Rhapsody (DELICIOUS), Stars & Sarsaparilla (husband liked it) and their currently rotating tiki drink - Escape from Black Mountain, which serves 2 and is served in a cool mug of the bust of Pedro Menendez. You can purchase it as well! It was so good and felt never ending between the 2 of us drinking it. For food we ordered a couple of apps - Cajun Chicken Eggrolls and the Montenegro Meatballs.
