    Kielbasa Special served with a large basket of fresh bread.

    We found this little gem on line and thought we would try something different. We were greeted as soon as we arrived and told to sit anyplace we like. It's a small dinning area. And wasn't too busy on a Friday evening. We were promptly given menus and served water and an ice tea. We ordered a Gyro and a Kielbasa Special. The Kielbasa Special was served with four different types of Pierogis covered in onions and fresh sauerkraut as well as a large Kielbasa. My meal was also served with a basket of fresh bread and butter. I have never had this type of food and found it delicious! The Gyro meat was a bit different than what we were expecting. The meat had a red tint to it. The portions were quit large. They had a large selection of sweet treat that we didn't indulge in. The service and decor were very nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant especially if you haven't had Polish cuisine.

    Gaufre's & Goods is a place we couldn't believe he had never been to let alone heard of so when we were visiting and walked by we had to try it out and glad we did. Gaufre's & Goods is tucked away down a back street so if you're not looking for it you most likely will miss it. We came in for a late lunch but were not looking for something super heavy so this was perfect. I started off with a Hevelius Kaper Beer which I really enjoyed. They also had a lot of other Greek and Polish beers that I had never heard of so you gotta try one. For my entree I originally was going to go with the Gyro but then I saw that they have Goulash which I very much enjoy but rarely can find it. Our food came out pretty quickly and I was give a large bowl of Goulash as well as some fresh bread. Ashley of course went with a Mix of Pierogies and added bacon & onions to it. My Goulash was very flavor and dipping the bread in the broth was great. I will say it was thinner then other Goulash's I have had. This was more of a broth base where I enjoy a bit of a thicker stew type. Still something I would recommend getting especially with the limited option we have in the area and this will hit the spot. Ashley also did get a order of Blackberry Pierogies that I never got to try since she ran off with it after we got back to where we were staying. This is for sure a great family restaurant you have to check out.

    Tucked away in an alley way in the heart of downtown, Gaufre's offers a unique and unexpected pairing of authentic Greek and Polish cuisine. The cozy interior set the tone, and our servers were cheerful and welcoming. We started with ice cold Polish beer while deciding on our meal. The beer was served in perfectly chilled glass with a thin layer of ice which was a great touch. We shared a Greek salad to start. It was incredibly fresh and flavorful, generously loaded with insane amount of feta (no complaints here). For the main, I got the Kielbasa special which came with 4 pierogies (you can mix and match the fillings), Kielbasa sausage and sauerkraut. The potato&cheese pierogies were my favorite, subtle in flavor, perfectly textured and tasted like true homemade comfort food. The sauerkraut was also hands down some of the best I've ever had. Sadly I have no room to try desserts. This was the best meal of my entire trip, and I'll absolutely be back to try more dishes if I'm in town.

    Had lunch at this place which has authentic Polish & Greek food. Food was delish. Service was good. Ambiance could be better with some upgrades inside, however, all the time we were there, they played lovely music from these two countries. If you are in the area, try this place out, and consider sharing your experiences. Happy meals!

    Pierogies absolutely delicious
    Ashley T.

    While wondering around downtown St Augustine before an event we stumbled upon this charming spot and I was craving pierogis so we decided to check it out. Now I am the type of person that is basically craving pierogis 24/7 but not all pierogis are crave worthy. I am very pleased to say these were absolutely pierogis worth craving! Also the people that work there made everyone that walked in feel like family which also makes me crave going back! I got the assortment of pierogis and each one was delicious! My favorite was the one with mushrooms but really I don't think you could go wrong with any of the options. I also ordered the dessert pierogis to go and shared them with a group of people we all agreed they were a perfect treat! If you are looking for a place to grab a bite I would highly suggest checking this place out.

    You first walk into the charming place from an alleyway off one of my favorite streets in downtown St. Augustine.. Aviles Street. Once inside you immediately realize how special this gem is.. and you have not even had the food yet! We had a variety of pan fried pierogis, topped with onions (you can add bacon too!) and sour cream. The Horiatiki salad was so good with tons of feta and ripe tomatoes. The Greek salad was also very traditional and tasty. Lentil soup was special.. but the Yemista was so full of flavor we may have to go back just for it again. Worse part was the bread.. and that was easy enough to avoid lol. A definite must when you visit the ancient city for sure!

    Borsch Soup
    Lauren N.

    This was such an awesome little find tucked away in an alleyway, the only reason we knew about it was because our trolley driver mentioned it was his favorite restaurant in st augustine. It was a chillier day so pierogis sounded amazing! We started with the Greek sampler platter that had tzatziki, eggplant salad, and hummus as well as olives and tomatoes. It was served with warm pita and other types of bread SO GOOD. We also had the grape leaves which were extremely tasty with feta, tomato and onion. I had their borsch (theirs was warm) with beet cubes and mushroom dumplings OUTSTANDING. For mains, i had the blueberry pierogis which were so unique i had to try. The only problem is they are pretty sweet they come with sour cream but also whipped cream and brown sugar. Still delicious but i wished i chose a cheese and potato. My friend had a stew that came with 4 savory pierogis and she really enjoyed it. you can tell this place is authentic! Waiter was quick and helpful. One thing is the indoor seating is freezing so bring a coat or sit outside like we did.

    Greek platter
    Dr. Richard M.

    Stopped in for lunch on Saturday when restaurant opened. This place has a unique menu of Greek and Polish food. This is a small cafe with about 8 tables. No outside tables. The food and service were excellent. We were a party of four. We ordered spinach pie, gyro, pierogis, Greek sampler platter, and baklava. The portions are large. Food seemed all home made. Hours are 11-6 pm, closed on Tuesday. No parking as it is in the historic district. Best to walk or Uber.

    Stuffed Cabbage
    Suzanne S.

    The food is always really tasty. We've been here several times and it never disappoints. I ordered the stuffed cabbage platter that comes with pierogies. I ordered the plum sweet pierogies and they were the most delicious tasting pierogies I've ever had. My husband got just pierogies and was not disappointed. My youngest son ordered the kielbasa platter and blueberry pierogies. He said the sauerkraut was the best he's had! My oldest son had the hunters stew and loved it too! Service was excellent and helpful. The restaurant was packed for a Saturday afternoon but we could talk and not have to yell. Definitely recommend if you love Greek food or Polish. One of our places to eat.

    Mustard- best part of the meal.
    Jennifer P.

    Meh. Wanted authentic kielbasa, what we got was like Hillshire Farm. Mustard was really good. Made the sausage tolerable. Pierogis were good, but nothing special. Expensive for what you get. $75 for three people. Gyro wasn't lamb, pretty sure it was grisly pork. While it's a nice alternative to have for variety over fast food, it's not going to satisfy anyone looking for real Greek or Polish fare.

    Pierogies - potato and cheese
    Vic M.

    One of our favorite spots in St. Augustine. Very quaint- only a handful of tables . The vibe is very casual, homecooked hearty meal. The food is amazing and the servings are hefty. The server was super friendly and knowledgeable. We had the kielbasa lunch special with meat peirogis and Bigo, and then potato and cheese pierogis. Yum!

    This is their Krupnik (Barley Soup). Absolutely delicious on a cold day. (Only available in certain times of the year)
    Libby L.

    I've spent a lot of time in St. Augustine, yet yesterday was my first experience at this hidden gem. The food was fresh and delicious. A little more pricey than I expected, but I feel it was well worth the amount and the flavor of the food. Everyone there was friendly and willing to give suggestions on the menu. The restaurant is small, but it conveys a homey, relaxed environment. I highly suggest you check them out on your next trip!

    Sautéed Pierogis with onions
    Lisa M.

    Authentic, homemade polish and Greek dishes! I am so happy I stumbled across this gem.. It felt like I was sitting in my grandparents kitchen. The spicy coconut soup was savory and kept us guessing on the ingredients. The pierogis were freshly homemade and flavorful and the "small" Greek salad was huge with large portion of gyro meat. Highly recommend, I am visiting St. Augustine for a short time and I am even tempted to return!

    I really can't believe I haven't reviewed this fast casual restaurant yet…read more We have been going here at least once a week since they opened. The food is great, fresh and the serving size is awesome. They have $15 specials with an appetizer which is a good value. My husband and my MIL almost always order the small salad with gyro meat. It is not the smaller side salad that I order. They have an even larger salad that can be shared. Meat is gyro, salmon, chicken and falafel

    Susan and I visited The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill expecting a traditional sit down restaurant…read moreand instead discovered a counter service spot that completely won us over. From the moment we walked in, the space felt clean, bright, and welcoming, with a simple Mediterranean style that made it comfortable to dine in. There was a steady stream of customers coming and going, both dining in and picking up takeout, which immediately told us this place has built a loyal following. The food is where The Great Greek really shines. We started with the four dip combo, and honestly, that alone is worth the visit. The hummus was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor without being heavy. The tirokafteri had a bold kick that built just enough heat to keep things interesting. Paired with plenty of warm, soft pita, it is an easy dish to share and one we would happily order every time. For our main dishes, I ordered the gyro, which I often use as a benchmark when trying a Greek restaurant. The meat was flavorful, the pita was fresh, and the tzatziki sauce really stood out, tying everything together beautifully. The feta fries were another highlight and were hard to stop eating. Susan ordered the Atlantic salmon, and it ended up being the biggest surprise of the meal. It was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and paired with sides that complemented the fish rather than overpowering it. Portion sizes are generous, pricing feels very fair for the quality and amount of food, and service was friendly and efficient throughout our visit. Even though this is a counter service restaurant, staff brought the food to the table and checked in to make sure everything was just right. We even left with leftovers and dessert to enjoy later, which is always a good sign. What we thought would be a quick meal turned into a really enjoyable dining experience. This is a restaurant we will absolutely be returning to and one we are happy to recommend to anyone looking for great Greek food done well.

    This is a very honest review... my wife and I were very excited to come here since we have seen…read moremany stellar reviews. The location is great and the decor is quite beautiful and unique! The service was wonderful and cannot deny the hospitality of the owners and the servers. With all that being said I rely heavily on the food quality, taste and portions to determine my rating. The bread was delicious with the side of herb butter. The soup was very underwhelming with a light lemon taste but the rice and chicken was something that I expected more. I'm Filipino and reminded me of a Filipino lugaw. (A cheap food). The grape leaves were ok, but not to my taste. Felt like the filling could be more flavorful. The salad was delicious with very fresh flavors. The octopus was cooked to perfection. Nothing to complain about. With my entree, the lamb souvlaki was underwhelming at a price of $28.99. I would expect more than 6 pieces of lamb. The chicken dish reminded me of a Chicken Francese but with rice. Overall, a good experience but not a great one.

The standout dishes for me were the grilled octopus, the fresh Greek salad, the warm bread with herbed butter, and especially the chicken riganati, which was packed with lemony flavor. Unfortunately, the dolmades and avgolemono soup fell a bit flat for my taste. My husband ordered the lamb souvlaki and it appeared the rice was more a filler with not even a handful of meat for the price. My main critique is that the portion sizes felt a little small for the price. Overall, though, the charming ambiance, friendly service, and decent dishes.

We couldn't find many open donut…read moreshops; and my husband said we couldn't get "ordinary" donuts from a grocery store, so we found Lukumades by searching on our phones. It was a little bit of a drive away, near the beach, and there was absolutely no parking on a Friday night. My husband dropped me off and circled while I placed a few to go orders. It was a cute little shop with donuts, shakes, and ice cream. The donuts are not traditional donuts; more like deep fried donut holes that are covered with all kinds of yummy toppings. They're also served nice and hot and in 10 packs. They had lots of cool donut flavors like: Dark Delight, Maple Bacon, , White Tella, and Love U Matcha, The prices range from $8.75 to $9.50 per box. They all sounded yummy; but we decided on Twix Fix, drizzled with caramel, melted chocolate, and cookies, and Lotus Crunch, which was topped with melted Biscoff cookies. Our order was ready in about 5 minutes and the bag of donuts was nice and warm. We ate them when we got back home. They were more chewy and heavier than regular donut holes, but rich and delicious. You could really only eat a few; so a box of 10 is a decent sized dessert for 2 people to share. Lukumades is definitely a very unique donut experience and worth supporting because they're not a huge chain. You'll be glad you tried them....and its worth the drive.
