Breakfast this morning. Ben took excellent care of us. The place was busy but still plenty of seating and parking out front. Wife had a short stack with sausage. I had their breakfast combo - 2 pancakes with bacon and eggs. All very yummy. We have left overs. Yep friendly staff and good food. 5/5 read more

I stopped by Connolly's this morning for breakfast and was thoroughly impressed. I'm just visiting the area, so I've never been. My server, Robin, was super sweet and confirmed that my decision to order the lobster benedict was indeed a good one. In addition to the options on the menu, they also had a handful of specials available. The lobster benedict was excellent. The sauce was rich but not overwhelming and just overall delicious. I also really enjoyed the ambiance. It was somewhat industrial but also super cozy. read more

I love this family run, small beach town breakfast and brunch restaurant. My favorite part is how all the young, local kids work there. The owners really embrace the local kids and supply many of them their first chance at their first job. I always get breakfast when I go- but the Mimosas instantly convert the breakfast into brunch. Give this restaurant a chance, you won't be disappointed...plus you'll help support many of the local youth! read more

We tried this cute breakfast spot in St Augustine and it was very good. Prices were reasonable and the staff was very friendly. It is a bright place on the inside with a lot of choices on the menu. We tried the eggs Benedict, create your own omelette, veggie omelette, and a breakfast combo with bacon. Tea and juice were very reasonably priced as well, and all the food portions were quite large. We were heading to the St Augustine Lighthouse and we were full for several hours while there. This is a great spot for breakfast or brunch. They close early so get in by lunchtime if you want to try them! read more

Wasn't great. My eggs Benedict had no lobster. Juice wasn't fresh. Felt a bit rushed. Wouldn't recommend.

Yum! Seriously so happy to find a breakfast place that has not only gluten free pancakes but GLUTEN FREE FRENCH TOAST AND WAFFLES!!!! Clyde was our server and did a great job! They have real maple syrup (just ask for it). The gf French toast was absolutely delicious!! The gluten eater in the group enjoyed French toast as well. Super cute place, terrific service and delicious food. Well worth the drive! read more

Connolly's Shore Grill - Gluten free French toast and pork roll - Cheesesteaks Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Did ownership change? The last two times I have gone the food is awful. I went for lunch a couple of months ago and the burgers were disgusting. the fries, which were once outstanding, were cold and soggy. I went for breakfast today and again the food was awful. The bacon was paper thin and only two small strips. The eggs were over cooked. The tomato slices were so thin they were essentially tasteless. Coffee was okay. Also, a man was at the hostess stand. He appeared to be in charge. He was not friendly and yelled at his staff. Sad to see such a decline. read more

Had to check out of our beach condo by 10 am so we decided to grab breakfast here on our way out of town. Inside had cute diner decor with outside seating available as well. Our party of seven was seated immediately. Staff were friendly and the service was quick. Breakfast menu had both sweet and savory choices. Kids went with a chocolate chip pancake and French toast served with the most perfectly crisped bacon. I had a breakfast sandwich with absolutely delicious toasted potatoes on the side. Everything hit the spot. read more

Beware of the cut fries, they are shoestring and the ones I was served were overcooked.

My fiancé has celiac, and our server was incredibly open and patient with all our questions about cross-contamination. They confirmed that they use separate equipment and have a dedicated prep space for gluten-free orders. My fiancé had no symptoms or stomach aches afterward...which is a huge relief! (Of course, every celiac is different, so still proceed with your own caution, my fellow celiac friends!) The food itself was delicious, though I'm taking off one star only because the portions were on the smaller side and a bit pricey. Still, it was such a nice experience to sit beside my partner and both enjoy the same meal without worrying about gluten contamination. Definitely worth it for the peace of mind and great service! read more

Excellent place for breakfast! Small family owned place and they put their heart and soul into every part of the business. Andrew was our server again and he was superb! read more

I just ate here for the first time as we are visiting the area. We were seated at an uncomfortable high top table and waited around 20 minutes for a server to come to our table. The hostess even came by and said someone will come soon. Another couple was seated after us and was waited on while we still waited until I got up and told the hostess. The food was not that good. I order a sandwich on a biscuit and the biscuit was very small and dry so the sandwich looked like for a child. Grits were decent. Service was just ok. No refills on drinks were offered and took a long time to get butter. Not coming back here. read more

Amazing hearty breakfast. Veggie omelette was loaded. Grits (not pictured) were the perfect consistency. Pancakes were scrumptious, soft with crispy edges. I'd come back here any day of the week! Great quick service. read more

Excellent service, food was a miss today due to staff shortage. It was a fun and enjoyable environment. Our food took about 50 minutes to come out of the kitchen. We waited and asked the server several times. I believe there was 1 cook today and others called out of work. The restaurant was filled with lots of people enjoying St. Patrick's Day here. There was live music and all the staff were dressed to celebrate. Unfortunately, half the food on each plate was overcooked or burnt. The other half was good. I would have gave less stars but the service was so good and everyone was so friendly. I hope if we come back we would get to enjoy this restaurant at its best. read more

Stopped in to Connolly's for breakfast and was blown away. Really cute spot that was not at all what I expected. Great food, nice and airy interior, friendly waitstaff. Chris took care of us and did a great job of helping us to navigate the menu and making sure we had our drinks refilled. Pros: Varied menu with a number of healthy and vegetarian options, but also less healthy options if you're looking for something sweet (like cherry pie French toast) or something savory (like wings!). Service is good and the food comes out fast. You can bring your dog and sit outside! Cons: It can get crowded, so be prepared to wait or sit at the bar or outside on a busy Sunday. read more

I ate on the beach !!! My whole Florida trip I wanted to eat on the beach and this place was the place to do it. I love this place. Very friendly staff amazing food and key lime pie to die for. I loved the atmosphere of eating outside and this will be my favorite restaurant when in town read more

Horrible service. Spacey waitress who were never anywhere to be found, messed up multiple orders. Finally had to get our food to go and it was still wrong and cold. Probably not going back. read more

Service was friendly, food came out hot and quickly. Food was ok, not special so much. Great place to meet a friend for breakfast.

Came in alone to have a quick breakfast, it was awesome. Tasty fresh, and friendly.service. Inside was spacious, plenty of chairs, tables, a bar high top. I ordered the french toast breakfast. I was a little hesitant since the french toast was made with the Texas bread, and I know how thick that bread is. SO, I was thinking it was going to be too big and thick nonetheless the waitress recommended it so I went with it. Glad I did! It was light, fluffy, and just the perfect amount of sweet, nothing over powering. I got it with bacon, let me just say I am not a bacon fan, this bacon was crispy and good I left nothing but the memory behind. I also did I side of breakfast potatoes and that was great! Price for my breakfast and side of potatoes along with a regular coffee was $13 . That price can not be beat, considering everything tasted so good! Thank you Connolly's Shore Grill I will be back! read more

A great little breakfast joint... Stopped in because it was within walking distance of the AirBnB we were staying at - what a wonderful surprise. Plenty of seating inside and out, we choose to stay inside after a friendly greet at the door. Service was exceptional, the young man that waited on us was so attentive and made sure our drinks were bottomless. For meals we had an eclectic mix of their egg combo choice, pancakes, waffles, egg and lobster Benedict - all of it was served hot and fresh. And speaking g of hot - they served the hottest coffee I have ever had at any establishment, a big plus in my establishment. Since we'll be back in this area vacationing soon, I'll definitely be back for more from this place. read more

This is a hidden gem right off the beach. Delicious food and great for gluten sensitivities. We had amazing French toast and pancakes, both gluten free. read more

Stopped in for breakfast with the wife earlier this week - Food was outstanding, service quick friendly and spot on good. If you're looking for that side of the road grill for breakfast or lunch this is place for you. Dog friendly, clean and decorated just the way you'd think for a beach side community. read more

We've passed by Connolly's every day since we've been at our condo. Today we decided to try it, we opted for takeout. Our meal was delicious. Everyone was so friendly when we walked in and assisted us in our order. The restaurant itself was welcoming and clean as well. Everyone was so friendly. read more

Good place for a quick home cooked breakfast! It was busy on a Sunday morning around 10 am but we did not have to wait to be seated. I don't like typical breakfast food of eggs and pancakes and was looking for oatmeal or yogurt or something like that, which is not on the menu. I had a BLT and potatoes and it was great. It was not a huge helping of either but certainly enough and it was truly good. We will come here again, service is good and the place is very clean. (Plenty of fancy breakfast drinks are made and served here which makes for a fun experience too!) read more

Excellent breakfast, brunch and lunch spot ! Great service and the food is great! You must try the Bloody Mary's! I highly recommend this place ! read more

The blueberry pancakes, waffles and service were great! We were all happy with our breakfast and would definitely go back.

Food was awful and they don't tell you about any specials they may offer. I guess you have to be a local/regular to be in the know.. Took almost an hour for a couple of over cooked eggs, over cooked bacon, cold toast and cold home fries. read more

I brought my 2 Great Danes to breakfast with me! We were seated right away at an out door table. Which are under a huge roof overhang and out of the sun! The staff is super friendly! Brought out dog treats and water for my dogs. The menu was simple but with good choices, and very reasonably priced! The food came out quick and was delicious! I had the French toast with a 2 egg side and potatoes. They serve breakfast and lunch. I 100% would come here again! read more

Excellent breakfast: Eggs, Pancakes, Bacon, Potatoes and coffee. Everything was delicious. Our service was excellent from a young hard working girl named Ireland. Definitely would come back when visiting. read more

They do breakfast well. The buttermilk pancakes were fluffy and very tasty. Served with homemade whipped cream and real butter on the side. Yummy. My husband got the combo breakfast and switched out the pancakes for French toast. No problem with substituting the pancakes for the French toast, just a $1 up charge (we'll worth it...the French toast was delicious). His eggs were scrambled and quite good; much better than his experience from another restaurant yesterday morning. Our bacon was cooked to perfection, not burnt but crispy. Definitely will go back. Good food and fair prices! You can even get a mimosa if you want. read more

We tried Connolly's for the first time and were disappointed. Will not be going back. While the service was great, the food was not good. It's hard to mess up breakfast, but they found a way. The bacon was rubbery and undercooked, and it was cheap quality meat. The pancakes were rubbery. For the avocado toast, they use cheap store bought guac spread instead of anything resembling real avocado. And my wife ordered the bananas foster French toast. It was awful. It had this gelatinous brown sugar crunch all over it. It was drowned in brown sugar which the kitchen failed to properly melt into a brown sugar sauce, so it was hard clumps of brown sugar - covered in it. Not a good experience at all. read more

Meh. With all of the breakfast joints in St. Augustine, you need to bring your "A" game. However, this place gets a "C" from me. The staff was nice. The mimosas were lacking. I don't know if they have the young people making the mimosas but you could not taste the champagne. I could tell by the color as they were bringing them out that they were lacking. The syrup they put in them is overpowering as well. I had the Lobster Benedict and for lack of a better word, gross. The potatoes were luke warm.The sauce was so watery and it needed a hollandaise sauce. Also I thought it was a given that all restaurants in St. Auggy had a Datil sauce but this one did not.My hubby had the waffle with a few berries thrown on it. It too needed something like a fruit compote. Most likely will not return with so many other amazing breakfast places in the area. read more

This is our favorite breakfast place on the Island. Service is friendly and it's actually refreshing to see young people working hard and taking pride in their jobs. The owners are always on site and take an active role in making sure things run smoothly. The choice of outdoor seating is ideal because we like to take our dog with us. Another plus is the availability of gluten free menu options. Highly recommend. read more
