    Came for dinner and sat on the upstairs patio area, it did take a while for us to be greeted/brought waters after being seated. My friend and I enjoyed our salads, great portions and nice and fresh. However my other friend didn't like the grouper tacos. Overall it was a nice ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating and live music at night; at least the Tuesday evening we went, but overall a decent place

    Loved this restaurant's vibe and the service was spectacular! We enjoyed the Onion Rings; you can get them FREE thru the Coupon Book. Glad we did, they are THE BEST Onion Rings!! They come out Hot, with a perfect Crunch to onion bite. We were in a hurry and shared a burger with those onion rings. The burger perfectly cooked & presented as a shared item.

    Grouper tacos

    We had lunch today in the patio. Very beach-bar vibe with indoor seating, and outdoor seating out front or on the second floor. I imagine you can see the beach from upstairs. I had a bucket Dragon Fruit Margarita. It was tasty, and a good value for $10! We shared the shrimp nachos and the grouper tacos with Gouda grits. The Gouda grits were excellent. The grouper tacos were good, but the market price of the day was a bit high. Still, good eats and cooked perfectly. The nachos weren't that great. The shrimp did not have much taste, the beans and other things on the chips were sort of dry and the 'cheese' didn't taste at all like cheese. It was not finished. Our server was very friendly, but items were pretty slow getting to the table. In all, a fun, beachy place to eat. Apparently they have live music. We were dining outside on a weekday.

    Clam chowder, you have to get it & see why it's famous! So good!

    SERVICE: Our waitress was very nice & quick. Our drinks were brought out right away & were delicious! We both enjoyed my clam chowder ( bowl) & then my salad came. I was a little disappointed that there were a few badly wilted lettuce leaves, but it was mostly good. Our dinners came out hot & fresh mine was the stuffed shrimp, it was very good, very flavorful! My husband had the coconut shrimp, I'm not a big fan but had a sample. It was pretty good. We were both too full to have dessert.they do breakfast also!! The inside of this restaurant looks laid back, either date night ready or jeans & a tee attire. It could go either way.

    We really wanted to like this place more. The look, the music, the location & the vibe were nice. Service was pretty good & fast paced. Unfortunately Most of our food was not up to par or worth the money. The coconut shrimp was basic but the dipping sauce really made it better. The Mac & cheese came out refrigerator cold & The onions straws (rings) were pretty cold as well. The fries were pretty good & hot. The blackened chicken with the pasta was good & flavorful. Definitely the best dish of the table. I really just recommend this place for the vibe & getting something light to share or I did see they had a few good breakfast time reviews.

    Crabby's baked oysters (left) and Oysters crabafella (right)

    We came here for dinner on Sunday night. For being a weekend day, it wasn't crowded at all and they even had live music. The vibe was casual and low-key. We tried the clam chowder, the Alaskan crab roll, and Crabby's baked oysters. Everything was very tasty and they really stuff that crab roll! We also got lucky because the kitchen got our order of baked oysters wrong, so we ended up with what we ordered plus oysters crabafella. The servers were apologetic about the extra wait time for Crabby's baked oysters and brought out the oysters crabafella at no charge. Both were delicious; however, I liked Crabby's baked oysters more. Overall, a very good experience.

    Ended up coming to Crabby's after a long day of athletic competition. Tired and hungry and in need of a beer(s) (uhhh and tequila shot). Walked upstairs and sat ourselves at the bar. The bartender (Mike) was the host that every worn out and weary group could ever hope for. He's personable, funny, kind, and quick to take care of you. We got some beers... can't remember the name of the beer but it was Crabby's own IPA. Legit great and we ended up actually tapping it out. Calamari and conch are really well made. It's not next level but it's fried apps so what would you expect? One of us got crab and we shared it a bit. Excellent excellent. And the grits are good. Overall, the next time we are nearby, Crabbys will be at the very top of our list for this kind of beach bar style restaurant. And we will be looking to see if Mikes behind the bar.

    As others have noted, it's not technically on the beach but it's beach adjacent and it was convenient to walk to from our hotel. We went for a late lunch/early dinner so the crowd was thin (just like we like it). I ordered the Shrimp & Grits with a House Salad and my husband ordered the Fish & Chips with mac & cheese. Salad was good, just a standard house salad, but I did immediately remove the red onion strips on top (too strong for my taste). Shrimp & Grits were great and I appreciated their use of baby shrimp in the grits instead of just placing 5 large shrimp on top. My husband, on the other hand, did not care for his Fish & Chips, but he said it was on him: the menu plainly says the fish is beer battered, which he doesn't like, but he said it didn't register with him until he tasted it. He said, "the service and quality of food was really good - it's not their fault I'm picky." Oh, but he also had a Florida Sunset drink and he said that was very good! Our server was great, really fast and friendly. And by the time we finished. It started filling up, so you can tell it's a popular place. We'd go back, but he might get something other than beer battered fish.

    Date night at Crabby's Beachside on St Augustine Beach. The fried shrimp dinner and Key Lime Pie was amazing! Our server was friendly and delightful. The newest restaurant in the Beachside Hospitality Group family brands, Crabby's Beachside is bringing casual, coastal dining to America's oldest city. Located just across the street from the beach, join us for indoor or outdoor dining, with ocean views from the first and second floor. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with daily Happy Hour drink specials, we're sure Crabby's Beachside will be your new favorite spot on St. Augustine Beach.

    Front entrance

    This is a good seafood restaurant in St. Augustine that is similar to Joe's Crab Shack. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a view of the beach as you would think it would by the name. Outside the front door, you can play jenga or corn hole. After checking in the front, there's a cute little shop where you can get T-shirts. They have lots to offer on the drink menu. I saw a review that they have the best calamari in the world which I wouldn't say was the case, but it's decent. It only includes the body (no tentacles which is my favorite part) but it was perfectly cooked with a good batter and also includes fried jalapeños which was a great addition. The sauce was a remoulade type sauce (I prefer marinara with my calamari) that wasn't too bad. I got the house salad with shrimp. Their lettuce was really fresh and overall great salad. The shrimp had too much bay seasoning on it in my opinion. My husband ordered the fish and chips which I thought was delicious! The batter on it was super crispy and full of flavor. He thought the tartar sauce had too much dill and not enough pickles. Overall, we felt all the sauces like tartar and ranch tasted too watered down. They had great options for the kids. We ordered chicken fingers and mac & cheese and broccoli as sides for both. Our kids ate all the broccoli, which is a plus and tells you they have great broccoli Nicole was a great server. We never had to wait to long to get what we needed. The kids op

    We had dinner here this past Thursday and it was great! There's indoor and outdoor seating available and the restaurant has its own lot for parking. If you really liked your meal - they also have several shirts and hats for purchase near the host stand for a souvenir. We walked in and were quickly seated. Service was good and everything was clean. We started with an order of the Calamari and crab spinach dip. Both were delicious. They didn't stand a chance with our group and were quickly devoured. Three of us got the Seafood Feast boil and then one went with the shrimp trio. The seafood feast boil was MASSIVE and included crab legs, shrimp, sausage and corn. It also comes with a side. It was so good. Definitely choose your attire carefully if you go with the boils, because they're messy, haha. The shrimp trio was really good as well. The shrimp all in all was just super fresh tasting. At the end of our meal, I feel like it took a moment to get our check. But other than that, everything was pretty solid.

    Cajun Chicken Alfredo
    Cannon Y.

    I really enjoyed my dish , you can tell it has chicken Alfredo with some sausage in it. Which was bust. The service was great, not too busy for 2:30. But our sever was always around refilling and checking in. The vibe was very high , music rolling , the reason I can't call it perfect because the people at my table had a lesser experience than I did. Also the water tastes bad. Like very bad.

    Across the street from Publix beach access. All day happy hour with good daily specials. Mike is excellent bartender and took good care of us. Had several drinks and grazed on multiple appetizers and an order of fish and chips. All excellent. Would come again. Forgot to take pics of food - we ate it too quickly.

The service showed a real lack of knowledge and attentiveness. When I ordered whole milk for my coffee, the response was essentially "is half and half okay?" -- no, it is absolutely not okay. These are completely different in taste and calories, and it's not a reasonable substitute to casually suggest. What made it worse: oat milk, almond milk, and whole milk were all visibly sitting in the fridge right there from where I was seated at the bar. Zero effort to offer what was clearly available. The atmosphere didn't help either. The space feels like someone started building a café concept and never finished thinking it through. It's uninviting, disorganized, and oddly off -- not warm, not designed with the customer in mind. Nothing about the food, the presentation, or the space gives you a reason to choose this place over anywhere else. Not particularly tasty, not nicely decorated, not a vibe. Not sure what keeps people coming back, honestly.

The venue is on A1A, right by St Augustine Beach. This was our first time there. They serve food but we had dinner beforehand, so we only had drinks. It's a nice little venue though. The show itself was awesome and Mick was so nice to meet afterwards! Why am I giving a 5 star review when we didn't even try their food? I'm at fortunate to know a few people that many would consider to be famous in the world of music. I have tagged along with them when they've done meet & greets at venues of various sizes from hundreds of fans to thousands of fans. Many, MANY venues handle these things very poorly. It ends up leaving fans feel as if the artist doesn't care about them when it's actual the venue that is unprepared and/or is treating the fans that dirt. That was absolutley NOT the case at Cafe Eleven. Every person we encountered from the staff seemed genuinely concerned with making sure the fans had a good experience. For us, this started a week prior when they took the time to email us to double check something about our order because our order was a bit odd. My wife paid for part of the order and our friends paid for the other half. The venue actually took the time to reach out to make sure we knew everything needed to match up. We did know that ahead of time but the fact that they even bothered was a touch I don't think I've ever heard of another venue taking the time to do. Well done Cafe Eleven! Based on that alone, I wouldn't think twice about driving down from Jacksonville next time there's an event at Cafe Eleven that I'm interested in.
