    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
    Michael O.

    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!

One of our favorite things to do in every new city is seek out the local favorites and discover our own go to restaurants. This time, we decided to give St. Augustine Fish Camp a try. Right away, we were impressed. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the waterfront views made for a great dining experience. We ordered the clam chowder, Spicy Seafood Linguini, and Shrimp & Grits. Unfortunately, I'd love to be able to rave about the food, but shortly after we finished eating, I became sick and dealt with an upset stomach for the rest of the night. My fiancé also didn't feel well afterward, although her symptoms were much milder. This was the first and only meal we'd eaten since earlier that afternoon, so we suspect it may have been related to something we ate, though we can't say that with absolute certainty. That said, one bad experience doesn't define a restaurant. The service and atmosphere were both excellent, and it's clear from the many positive reviews that plenty of people have had great meals here. We'll give St. Augustine Fish Camp another chance before we leave town, but next time we'll probably order different menu items. Thanks for reading, we hope our experience is helpful!

The first time we were served by Angel at the bar and she made rum runners on the rocks & my wife had the mango paradise. Both were very refreshing! So much so we had several each as we watched the Cubs on TV. Fly the W! Angel and the vibe at the bar is very chill & welcoming. Our second encounter was for dinner a couple of hours after our first encounter and even at 8:30PM there was still a wait. We actually ate outside at one of the booths where its first come first serve. This time we just had a couple of beers each along with our entrees. I had the Seafood Combo which was trigger fish & shrimp (blackened) with 2 sides (fresh greens beans & cole slaw).

The ruby reds are fantastic. Easy to peel and the cocktail sauce was nice. Should have ordered more. The butter is too watery and doesn't provide much flavor for it. The grouper was bland and boring. Blackened is apparently just burnt without flavor. The cream sauce didn't help. The collard greens I took one bite and that was it. Just nothing to it. The beans and rice was ok. Coconut shrimp was too sweet with the pina sauce. Just ok. Kids loved the kraft Mac and cheese. And the burger was very bland. Nice bun though. The key lime pie was sweet but the crust was good. Their service is quick and the food is served even quicker.

    Exceptional Service, Fresh Seafood, and a Perfect Waterfront Atmosphere…read more My wife and I had one of the best dining experiences we've ever had at The Boathouse in St Augustine. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the water, and the atmosphere alone was worth the visit. To make it even better, a sweet, friendly kitty joined us and rested at our feet while we ate. She was gentle, lovable, and happy to let us pet her, a perfect little addition to an already beautiful afternoon. From the moment we arrived, the staff was outstanding. The hostess seated us immediately, and our server, Tom, was exceptional. He kept our drinks full, checked in just enough without ever interrupting, and always kept an eye on our table as he walked by. His attention to detail was impressive. I ordered the stuffed grouper, and it was phenomenal! Clearly fresh, perfectly seasoned, white and flaky, with a decadent crab stuffing that set the dish apart. My wife had the shrimp skewer salad and loved every bite. The shrimp were fresh, tender, and prepared perfectly. During our meal, I mentioned to Tom that shrimp and grits is my traditional go‑to dish. Even though I didn't order it, Tom surprised us with a complimentary serving of shrimp and grits from Chef Mike! Let me tell you, it was easily the most unique and delicious shrimp and grits I've ever had. The dish included onions and a layer of perfectly seasoned collard greens beneath creamy, balanced grits and fresh, succulent shrimp. We added it to our meal and finished every bite. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another thing, Tom asked if we saved room for dessert. We hadn't; but when he told us about their locally made key lime pie, we had to try it. It was incredible: perfectly tart, perfectly sweet, the crust was amazing and the ideal size for two people to share. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. I strongly recommend The Boathouse; try the stuffed grouper, the shrimp and grits, or the shrimp skewer salad if you want something lighter. And whatever you do, save room for the best key lime pie you'll find anywhere in Florida.

    I owe Salt Life an apology…read more I've always been a little iffy about this place and may or may not have called it a "tourist trap" a time or two. After our last 2 visits, I'm officially taking it back. We met friends here Saturday night for my birthday dinner, but my meal had actually been decided days earlier. I had the Hawaiian Shrimp Bowl on a previous visit and had been thinking about it all week. It did not disappoint. The Hawaiian Shrimp Bowl ($23.99) has shrimp, squash, zucchini, peppers and pineapple sautéed in a ginger-soy glaze over sticky rice and spinach, topped with avocado, green onion and sesame seeds. There are a LOT of flavors and textures happening in one bowl--savory, sweet, fresh--and somehow it all works together perfectly. The pineapple with the shrimp, vegetables and ginger-soy glaze is especially good. The picture does NOT do this meal justice. Even if Yelp had Smell-O-Vision, I'm not convinced that would do it justice. This is a you-have-to-taste-it meal. My husband ordered the Spicy Poke Bowl ($24.99) and added double avocado. There is an upcharge for the extra avocado, but he was very happy he did it. One of our friends ordered sushi and loved it, while the other chose the Costa Rican Bowl with chicken. Four meals and four happy people--which definitely helped change my opinion of Salt Life. We arrived before our friends and grabbed drinks at the bar. I knew I wanted something frozen but wasn't sure what, so I asked the bartender for recommendations. After talking through a few options, I went with a mango daiquiri and have ZERO regrets. Cold, fruity and exactly what I wanted. The restaurant has a casual, open-air beach atmosphere. One neat feature is the garage-style door at the outside bar. When things get busy, they open it up so additional guests can sit at the bar from outside. Very cool concept. However...opening a giant wall to Florida in August also means some of Florida in August comes INSIDE. As the perimenopausal woman in our group, I noticed immediately. Everyone else seemed completely unbothered, so interpret that information accordingly. Overall, the food was delicious, the bartender was helpful, our waitress was great, the atmosphere was fun, and four people ordered meals and everyone walked away happy. Salt Life, I judged you too quickly. You've officially won me over! We will be back!

He went above and beyond the call…read moreof duty the entire time, which is no easy task when you're dealing with a group our size .

Then you add in the live music and the whole atmosphere, and it just makes the experience that much better. It had that perfect Florida vibe where you can sit back, eat some good food, enjoy the music, and actually have a good time with your people. If I ever have friends or family coming in from out of town and want to take them somewhere that gives them good food AND a fun Florida experience, Salt Life Food Shack is going on the list every single time.
