    Awesome lobster special Awesome crab legs too Friendly service and food is amazing Breakfast is over the top It's like you eating at home with family

    Cozy, local spot next to the beach/Pope Road. The Eggs Benedict could not have been better (and I can be a Benedict snob). Perfect Hollandaise over my perfectly poached egg (just a hint of lemon in the Hollandaise). We both tried different Bene's: Crab Cakes vs Ultimate (cake with lobster, crab & shrimp). This could have been a disaster with old/stale seafood but it was just the best fresh tasting seafood cakes instead! Kudos Little Margie's! Excellent service from our male server-I can understand why this is a local favorite spot! Sampled a little of their dark brew on tap-we will be back for happy hour & fresh local oysters!

    A true beach town dive. GREAT food! Great environment. Eggs Benedict were delish. I love the vibe. Sweet sweet family service.

    Shrimp and Grits Special (+crab)

    The only reason the service was bad when I went was it was 1 person doing table service and bartender. The place is small but lively. I'm extending mercy on service, it's hard for 1 person to play the drums and serve drinks at the same time. The shrimp and grits had its own unique taste. It was so good, the extra crab meat was full of flavor. Don't let the look discourage you, it is definitely setting itself apart from others in the area. That's a good thing. It is a small intimate place, i will say definitely "dive bar" atmosphere. Definitely a great place for watching sporting events and conversation with new and old friends.

    Little unassuming beach spot with good food and daily specials. There's a Filipino flair to the menu with items like pancit, lumpia, and adobo pork but also items like a Cuban sandwich, oysters, and burgers. It feels like a local watering hole with repeat clientele and a bit divey - which is def offers a fun personality. People were super friendly and warm

    Food was great. Cute little beach diner. Definitely need the blueberry pancakes. Local spot

    So today's my birthday and instead of going somewhere fancy, we left it to fate. We got in the car and took a leisurely ride down A1A towards St Augustine and gawked at the beachside three-story mansions. We passed through the touristy areas and ended up at a dive spot called Little Margie's FA Cafe. It serves a fairly standard menu of breakfast items, tacos, sandwiches, salads, etc. However, Margie is Filipino, so there's a little corner of the menu with Filipino staples; lumpia, pancit, and adobo. I got an order of lumpia and chicken adobo. The lumpia was filled seasoned ground pork wrapped and deep-fried. Crispy and delicious. In classical music, there's something called a "theme and variation." Variation is a formal technique where material is repeated in an altered form. The changes may involve melody, rhythm, harmony, counterpoint, timbre, orchestration or any combination of these. Filipino adobo is like classical music. The basic ingredient "themes" is chicken (or pork), soy sauce, garlic, pepper, vinegar, and bay leaves. Beyond that, you can create "variations." Some add honey for a bit of sweetness. Some use coconut vinegar instead of white. Margie's variation is very ginger forward. And it was great! Something I would copy in my own cooking. It was a great start to a birthday foodie weekend!

    This place is awesome!! Came in on Wednesday 5/24 after we went to the Farmer's Market. Everything was so good, and perfectly priced. It's definitely a hole in the wall GEM. Staff were so kind, coffee was HOT, FRESH, and perefectly roasted. Food came out in large portions and so tasty. Inside wasn't too big, but there was outdoor seating that looked perfect if there weren't so many of us!

    Oyster and nachos

    Definitely try this place when staying in St Augustine. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We stayed in an Airbnb nearby Little Margie's, and accidentally found that they offered beer and wine with good price during happy hour (even the original price is reasonable comparing to other bars). We ordered wings, nachos, oysters, and 3+ rounds of drinks. Foods are all fresh and delicious with a range of draft beers. They surprisingly matched the number of wings with the number of people in our group. It was 8 on the menu but we got 10 in total so each of us got 2 wings. There are many lovely surprises like this so how can you not love this place.

    We stopped here for breakfast after taking in an early morning sunrise at the beach. There is seating instead and outside. The staff was very friendly. The food was good. They have a daily special for $6.99.

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.

In my experience, the places with the best staff will serve you as attentively as if you were paying the check for a large party. Unfortunately for other restaurants, Columbia has ruined me for most other places in this regard. Their service is top notch. I usually eat at the bar and Carolyn and the other bartenders are always at the top of their game! Great service is just the start, the food will keep you coming back. From the wonderful Cuban bread, to the fantastic dishes (Try the pompano!) to the must-try Bread Pudding, the food is outstanding! If a restaurant makes it in St. Augustine for years, it's going to be a good place. There's too much competition for mediocre to survive here. If you haven't been to Columbia, it should be at or near the top of your list!

After 25 minutes and no sandwiches, I inquired inside as to the status - finally, five minutes later the sandwiches were ready. However, no Cafe Con Leche . Again went inside, waited for the front desk server to process several orders before I could ask about the status of the drink. Nothing had been made, so another five minutes for the drink order. By this time I was plenty hungry, and was disappointed with the Cuban sandwich. It's basically a toasted ham sandwich, nothing particularly unique about it. Given the hassles just getting the meal entailed, not a great experience.
