If you haven't visited this location, you are sleeping on a fantastic animal rescue and child…read moreentertainment center. For the longest time I thought they were 'just a fish shop', but then realised they are also a rescue centre with a huge range of animals, from the adorable axolotl's to a giant albino python called Buttercup who is currently my child's favourite thing in the world, koi and turtle ponds, some lovely frogs, and host regular sensory friendly events. This is a wonderful place to introduce your child to a new wide range of creatures they would otherwise not have the opportunity to engage with. They also have an on-site café that apparently serves some of the greatest chicken nuggets in Jacksonville, and a small shop. The staff are knowledgeable and patient, the owner is a gem of a man, the facilities are clean and beautifully decorated, and if you're just here to look, it's a wonderful way to kill an hour. Just drop a little something in the tip box to show your appreciation.

Second time here and it was the extreme opposite from first visit. The menu is completely different…read moreand the food was mostly inedible. Service was friendly and fast. Restaurant itself seemed uncared for. We were the only diners. They offered free water in a glass decanter. It was warm and tasted terrible. We ordered chicken katsu sliders and chicken ramen. The sliders were so drenched in a sickly sweet yet also super salty sauce. The bread was stale. I took two bites and was done. The ramen broth was like pure super salty soy sauce. The chicken pieces tasted off. The egg was a weird texture and taste, and Carl NEVER says no to eggs in any form until today. The bok choy was too tough to bite through. The noodles by themselves were edible. I took some out and put crispy garlic chili oil on them and had a few bites of that while Carl fished the rest out of the broth with a fork and ate them that way. Worst meal ever. Sorry. I don't think they care. I think it's more about the bar and anime. Won't be back.

I had the best time today at the Witty Whisker cat cafe. I got to spend an hour just hanging out…read morewith some of the cutest kitties. It was a great way to spend my birthday. As well as fill the void of missing my own cats. It's located inside a, what looks like, an old home. They have a cafe. I had tea and a croissant. Both of which I got to have while I was hanging out with the cats. They have the cutest cat themed bathroom. They provide you with various colored socks to choose from for the kitty lounge. These cats are up for adoption folks. It took all I had not to fill one out. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary when you're visiting St Augustine. Definitely stop by the Witty Whisker cat cafe.

We even got to meet some of their other animal friends, including the cutest opossums! Our crew member Katie was great!

Such a fun, unique experience and definitely one of the coolest things we did in St. Augustine. We had the best time and would absolutely come back! Highly recommend!

The Capybara Café was an absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish! I took my wife…read morethere for her birthday, and it turned out to be one of the most unique and heartwarming outings we've ever had. The atmosphere is incredibly charming and relaxing. Everything is thoughtfully designed to create a cozy, welcoming environment, but the real highlight is, of course, the capybaras! Getting to observe and gently interact with these calm, friendly animals made the visit feel truly special and unlike anything else in the area. The staff was wonderful as well--kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the animals and guest experience. They made sure we felt comfortable, explained everything clearly, and helped make my wife's birthday feel extra special. What really sets the Capybara Café apart is how peaceful and joyful the whole experience is. It's not just a café visit--it's a memory you'll talk about long after you leave. Perfect for couples, families, or anyone looking for something truly different and meaningful. We couldn't have asked for a better birthday experience. We'll definitely be coming back!

Had a ham and Swiss cheese baguette with a side of scrambled eggs. The portion sizes were perfect,…read moreand everything was really tasty. There aren't a ton of juice options on the menu, but they do have a good selection of coffee drinks. As for the service, you order at the counter first and then find a seat, and they bring your food out to you. I don't mind this style of service at all. The place is covered in Monet paintings, which gives it a really nice atmosphere. The background music was also at a good volume--you can actually have a conversation without having to talk over it. Overall, a really nice spot for a relaxed breakfast or brunch.

I've tried this place several times and everything on their menu is amazing! One thing I especially…read morelove here is their baguettes and croissants. Their bread is so fresh it takes me back to my time in France. Their drink selection is also great in the barista in me is always impressed by their specialty drinks. Lastly, the service is always amazing. I even see the manager pitching in and helping with tables and to go orders, which is great to see in food service. Make to get here early for a good seat cause this place fills up quick! (& rightfully so)

Willie's BBQ has a good BBQ atmosphere when you first walk in, and the menu has a nice selection…read morewith plenty of options. That said, the restaurant could definitely use a good deep cleaning. We noticed cobwebs up around the windows and among some of the decorative areas after we ordered and sat down. All the bread products (in plastic bags on trays) were in the hallway just outside bathrooms. I noticed after we ate and was leaving. My daughter ordered the 2-meat plate with pulled pork and brisket. She asked for a baked potato as one of her sides even though it wasn't listed as an option, and they had no problem accommodating her. The baked potato was a good size. She also had mac and cheese and chose the garlic toast instead of cornbread. She felt the mac and cheese was a little too runny and overly cheesy, and the garlic toast was nothing special. The brisket and pulled pork were okay, but neither had much flavor on their own and definitely needed BBQ sauce. I ordered the 3-meat plate with ribs, brisket, and pulled pork, along with French fries and a baked potato. The portions were generous, and the fries were hot and salty just how I like them. Unfortunately, the cornbread was overcooked and didn't have much flavor. Like my daughter's meal, all three meats were plentiful but lacked seasoning or smoky BBQ flavor and really needed sauce. They had four BBQ sauce choices available, but none really stood out to me. If I went back, I'd probably bring my own favorite BBQ sauce. Our total was around $50 for the two of us, including two fountain drinks, so roughly $25 per person. Overall, the portions were very good and the menu offered plenty of choices, but for a BBQ restaurant, I expected the meat itself to have a lot more flavor without having to rely so heavily on the sauce.

I had the most delicious hamburger and my husband had the salad bar with grilled chicken that he also loved. We relized that happy hour only takes place on a different deck off the bar area. If you sit in the other area on the porch even during happy hour hours you will not get the happy hour specials. We sat down and then asked the waiter it's happy hour correct? He said not where we were sitting so we had to move to a different area which was just as beautiful. Our waitress Rachel was very sweet also, we are looking forward to returning .

Similar menu but the new chef changed things like the baked beans, which were the best beans I ever had under the old business I had the salad bar with a side of pulled pork. The salad bar has a range of items to make it a stand alone meal for lunch. The pork was most and flavorful. The service was really bad! The server took our order. Didn't give us silverware, didn't bring our food, didn't check on our meal, we had to go get her to bring the bill. We asked for a to go box and she grabbed it, then stood at a table talking to a delivery driver for 10 minutes holding it. I got up and she saw me, then rushed over with the box. I heard it was priced really high, but I did feel the value for my money was good. The service was just so bad I probably won't be back.
