    Grouper tacos
    Debbie M.

    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.

    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.

    Service was great! View was amazing, food was amazing, drinks were tasty. Clean space, and welcoming staff. Only thing I would change was the amounts of crab that was served. It seemed less that 3-4L

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    This place was ok. I love St. Augustine and all the amazingly good restaurants. This one unfortunately represents a "touristy style" restaurant (meaning they are catering to tourists and not concerned about the quality of their food). It was ok food, but not the top notch seafood you normally get on the Atlantic coast. Any time someone brings me a boil in a bag, I know it's not going to be good. Huge disappointment. We sat at the bar. The beer was good. The bartender was nice. Would we go back? Maybe, but unlikely.

    Shrimp & Grits*

    Food was amazing. Highly suggest the shrimp and grits or the crab cake benedict. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. $5 Bloody Marys and Mimosas before 11:30! Outdoor seating is nice with an ocean breeze.

    The mahi sandwich was really good. The sauce made the meal. The mahi tacos were ok, but there wasn't a lot of meat in the tacos. The cheeseburger was 'better than McDonalds' according to my daughter. The service was ok. We waited outside for about 10 minutes and finally had to track down a server to take our orders. After getting started the service was fine. The ambiance was great for lunch outside. We will probably go somewhere else next time.

    Seafood feast plenty to share

GOOD: Good size portions, reasonable prices, especially for cocktails. The same margarita would be $14 elsewhere. I had the "Wrap it up mango" tuna wrap with fried plaintains as my side. Plaintains were a big portion, so I took half home. The wrap was very tropical with fruit and sushi grade tuna. I ate it all, which was greedy of me, but I enjoyed it and felt overfull (my bad). Hubby had the clam and shrimp chowder and 2 apps. Very tender clams, thick texture and more shrimp flavor than clam, tasty for sure. Conch fritters good and in our top 5 (we get them everywhere and have been disappointed but now here). The wings were cooked perfectly, not heavy and crispy. The key lime flavor was good but too light. BAD: Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was super friendly and welcoming. The other servers seemed right on top of the other diners. 2 person tables are a bit too small if you order multiple appetizers. But nothing bad at all here.
