Ambiance is a southern comfort kind of space. We had reservations and got seated right away. Our server Makaila was so nice and made great recommendations. We ordered the Bikini Martini and Pear Pressure and both drink were delicious. For appetizers we got the "jacked up" cornbread. My husband loved it but I like a sweater. We ordered the Charleston with sweet corn, edamame succotash and the Pecan fired salmon. Both were so fresh and flavor full. For dessert we had the pecan pie and the banana pudding both were just the right amount of sweet and size. We will definitely be back to try other menu items. read more

Super cute interior and nice outdoor area. Prices are kinda high for what you get. Out appetizer was ok. The Sandwhich and side was good. The baby carrots were amazing but we got like 4 of them. Give me more !! The chicken chili was great and the bowl is huge. Took most of it home. The drink was is fun but can add up quick. Desert wise the chocolate fruit flourless one was out of this world. The hummingbird whoopie pie was super dry and not enough icing. Due to the cost I probably would not go back. read more

Pecan Craft Kitchen - Southern Near Me - St Johns, Florida

Pecan craft kitchen was one for the record books! It had it all ambience, a tap room, outside dining and a novelty store to buy eats and paraphenelia. Our first time here and it took us back to a cabin in the blue ridge mountains. Tables were spread about. There were high tops, low tops and then the booths. It was too early to sit outside but a nice day for it. I went off the recommendation of the waitress. I got the charleston sandwich on ciabatta bread. It was a mouth full of flavor and the sandwich was to die for. Wifey got the pecan cornbread with the 3 beans soup. It had some kick to it so I had to finish her soup for her. No dessert for me since I am always wanting cheese cake. There was none to have. Wifey had the banana pudding and it was wonderful surprise. We got there before the dinner crowd. It felt homey and very rustic at the same time. Our waitress was super friendly. We had a good time at Pecan Craft Kitchen. It is relatively one of the newer restaurants in St Johns county. The lunch menu was I one side and the drinks were on other. Easy pizze! We were home just alittle after rush hour. Other orders looked appealing and portion size was quaint. Pecan Craft made it through our first time visit. Always a pleasure to support local and spread the word. Hear ye, Hear ye one and all, Pecan Craft is and if not one of the up and coming kitchens right in the border of Mandarin and St Johns! We approve of this message! A restaurant on the on the move. There is even a drive through to bring the natural goodness home with you! read more

Incredible food and ambiance! Great decor, delicious (yet surprisingly healthy) food and super fun cocktails. This place doesn't miss! It's definitely a new favorite staple! Who can? Pecan! read more

From the very start of walking in, the "greeting" (after 10 minutes of waiting) was cold. The first thing out of the hostess's mouth was "do you have a reservation?" When the restaurant was nearly empty, it had just opened. Then comes our server. It took her 10 minutes to get three teas. We got the cornbread, it was fine. Our three entrees were all one note & one consistency (mushy) & SMOKEY (not in a good way). The Norwegian Salmon on my husband's Caesar Salad was raw (he ordered it to be cooked medium). But our server never bothered to checked on us to find out how our meal was or if we needed anything. If she had, my husband's Salmon could have been sent back. My son's BBQ chicken dish was over powered by the sauce used on the chicken & the pimento cheese was terrible. I got the mushroom dish and all I could taste was tomatoe chutney. All in all, the meal and experience was underwhelming. We won't be back. read more

Good food and good service in a nice environment. Rainbow trout and half chicken were both excellent options. Dessert flavors are good, but honestly I'll pass next time and go somewhere else for dessert. Wall of adult drink options was good. My old fashioned was nothing special. Worth coming as the entrees had great flavor and actually were seasoned. Make a reservation to ensure you can get a table. read more

A little upset with the service today. 3rd time going- brought 5 other guests and don't think they were thrilled. There was confusion over flat breads as appetizer or meal and it was small, little meat if any so guests were disappointed. I ordered a Caesar salad and fish and got shrimp. I went ahead and kept it. One guest ordered trout, they came to say they were out. It was very good but one of our bills was rather strange. Calculations on the receipt were way off (see photo) caught it just before paying, she was unsure why that happened. Service was not as good as usual, lovely gal, maybe new? All in all we decided 4 stars but have to say it was disappointing and receipt questionable. read more

Pecan Craft Kitchen - Calculations off - Southern Near Me - St Johns, Florida

If people don't give this restaurant a five star review, then they can never be made happy. My fiancé and I came upon pecan Craft several weeks ago and decided to go there after church after Sunday. We came back to the restaurant and I was totally impressed with the interior and exterior decor of the building. The bar area of the restaurant was warm and welcoming. The reception area was Like a small farmers market and the Middle restaurant area was roomy and causal. The Attention to detail and the quality of the furnishings, the Open Kitchen area and the overall Buildout to make this restaurant happen was amazing! On the two times that I've been to the restaurant the staff was incredibly friendly and well trained, the 3 bean chili soup that I had was terrific and the salmon entrée was incredibly delicious. I live at the beaches, but I would drive 45 minutes time to go to this restaurant. It's better than anything We have out here and comparable to Palm Valley FISH camp without the noise.! read more

First time and sat at the bar. Reservations are needed for tables. Beer and wine are self serve by the partial ounce. Taste all you want and pick the ones you like. Very cool. Grouper sandwich was so tasty and so was the chicken sandwich. No fryer in the kitchen so not fries etc but for me that is perfect. The sides are amazing!! All fresh and veggie based. Different vibe for sure. Cool spot and worth a try. Probably not for everyone but I liked it !! read more

We went to Pecan Craft Kitchen today not really knowing what kind of restaurant ot was. We were pleasantly surprised. Everything was delicious. Lindsey was our waiter and she was amazing. I had the trout with potato salad and grilled asparagus and hubby had the Charleston chicken sandwich. And he said the lemonade was really good. You definitely have to try this restaurant you won't be disappointed. read more

It is a new restaurant just over the Julington Creek Bridge, on the right side. Being its new, it has been busy lunch and dinner! Their "talk" is everything is farm to table, locally sourced and that maybe true with the food but some of the products for sale it was not (other states). It's a big open space with lots of windows, cosy tables/booths, bar that spreads inside to outside area that has seating under a tree with yard games. I got a chicken sandwich called a Charleston and it had lots of pecan smoked meat on ciabatta roll with one side ($16) which I got corn succotash; which had a bite to it but so did the corn bread. Our server forgot to bring the dessert tray around but they were $4/8 for small sweets, some in little mason jars you can order in their market too. Our server also forgot to mention the card for the "do it yourself" drink station on back wall; maybe because it was lunch?!? It was a nice lunch and atmosphere. read more

We dined in on a weeknight. We checked a couple of weeks prior to our date but there weren't reservations available. When you pull into the parking lot there isn't clear signage about how the self parking versus valet works. As it turned out there were very few self park spaces all of which were full so we had to valet. We were told 20-60 minute wait which felt vague. We snagged seats at the bar and tried out the self pour taps for beer/wine in the meantime. They are situated on a wall with other guests seated at tables immediately adjacent to the space which made for tight spaces and limited standing room while you sampled. Our table was ready about 40 minutes into our wait time. We had to close our previous tabs before sitting which required waiting in line at the bar before sitting which was odd. For food we ordered the chicken lollies which were on the smaller side but tasty and the corn bread which was a little dry if not for the citrus butter. The fish was well cooked though expensive for the portion. The grits were good and very cheesy though the shrimp were few in number. The farm market veggie tasting was the largest dish in size. The mushrooms and potatoes were very good though the broccolini was still hard even when being cut with a knife. The tables are very narrow which made maneuvering with the plates challenging and when cashing out your self serve wine/beer is included in your total which you base your tip on even though you serve yourself. All in all for the logistical issues and high cost I don't know that we would return read more

We went to try this new restaurant as it's close to our house. What a gem!! Started with a Bar Pecan Old Fashion. This was a great drink served with craft ice. Walked around the restaurant and noticed the outdoor seating had heaters as well as corn hole. Great setup!! The bar looks is split between the inside and outside. Abby our server was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. We ordered DemKota Ranch Filet and Florida Pecan Fish. We asked Abby about if they had Mezcal and she said yes! She had the bar manager come to our table (Miles) he described what they had and his recommendation. Such a neat touch! I looked at the bar and adjacent to the bar was a rack of taps. This is where they have a variety of cocktails, wines and beers where consumers can get what they desire. A gentleman asked if I liked the setup and I said we (Saint John's) were way overdue for a cool place like this! He was one of the owners!! I believe his name was Brad. I felt as if he was a customer at first. The entrance has fresh vegetables and can goods. I'm sure this place will be a hit! Glad to have a health place for dining!! read more

What a new experience for a new place to eat. We had the flat bread, which was delicious. The sandwiches we had the Charleston sandwich and Mai tai which were great. Overall, ambience homey , has a self serve wine and beer area to scan for drinks and they have IPA's. Parking can be busy if you go. At noon but you can make a reservation and they have valet parking. Our server was Zach and he was great! read more

Absolutely a winner for sure. My first time there with a few girlfriends and what a wonderful experience. Recommend making reservations as they fill up fast. Our waitress Christina was awesome. She really took her time with our order. And Keke who seated us also checked on our table. Really nice waitresses. Food was awesome. I had the salmon salad, now I did have to wait according to Christine they ran out & waiting on more, wasn't bad of a wait, we were in no hurry. My friends had the chicken salad & grilled grouper. They enjoyed. We also had the corn bread appetizer it was amazing & topped it off with flourless chocolate cake & carrot cake. Desserts are perfect size for one. The place reminded me of similar restaurants from Carolina's - very quaint, little store in the front with various food items. There's also a very nice outdoor seating. There only downside is very noisy - we couldn't hear each other conversation. Definitely will sit outside our next visit. read more

Top notch!! The service, the food and the vibe were best in class . Wishing we could get a place like this on the other side of River , where we are starving for unique new spots . Oh well, I'll continue to make that dreaded 29 minute drive for this one. read more

Kyle served us at the bar and he was amazing! He described the menu items so articulately and we enjoyed his recommendations! The atmosphere is so inviting and comfortable! read more

free valet, amazing food, tons of drink options. even the cute shop at the entrance had a ton of things that i wanted to bring home. everyone seemed super nice. it was busy busy when we went but things went so smoothly read more

Just perfect! Food was amazing. Natalie was great. Next time I may order a plateful of those mushrooms. The tap wall was so fun; I enjoyed small glasses of several very good wines. My fish was lovely and my friend's chicken was very moist and flavorful. Only one small complaint: we were there Friday evening and it was noisy and hard to hear each other. Highly recommend. read more

This is a really fun place to go to. The food is good except the selection to me is a bit limited. The service is excellent and the food they do serve is really good. The bartenders are great. read more

Food is wonderful and very clean and decorated very well. Not your normal pub or local food. We give food and facilities a 5, but service is 3 at best. Server is friendly, but extremely slow. Took forever to get her to come by and forever to bring things when asked. Doesn't check on tables. Servers obviously don't work for tips. read more

It was the second day they were open to public and we had no issues. Restaurant has a calm and beautiful ambiance. Food was delicious. Service was amazing! They have a great porch area for seating with heaters if it's chilly. They have a cool outdoor spot with some yard games and seating to hang out. We had the "jacked up" cornbread bites, the pecan chicken deluxe sandwich, and 2 whoopies. Old fashion was good and the tap had a lot of selections you can pour your own! read more

Drinks were done very well and the bartenders were very attentive, friendly and made great drink suggestions for my wife. We had the cornbread app which was very good, a flatbread and pecan deluxe chicken sandwich. Food was fresh and tastes great. Don't leave without trying the deserts... read more

It's a beautiful restaurant, but of course it is brand new-the outdoor dining is like sitting in a beautiful European garden. The food is fresh and wholesome. Our server was great and explaining everything about the restaurant, the self serve beer and the menu. I've already been back and I plan to make it on the regular rotation. read more

Omg what a great find. You will not be disappointed a must see and enjoy the atmosphere for lunch or dinner. Loved to see all the local farms part of this journey. The inside and outside is gorgeous see the images attached from our stay. We already made a new reservation for our next visit.. read more

Been to Pecan Craft kitchen for both lunch and dinner and both are amazing! I love their pecan sandwich, lollies for an app and cornbread, their desserts are amazing as well! I love the tap wall where you can pick and pour your own beverage if you want as well as make a flight. The atmosphere is fun and we love to sit at the bar as well. Our service has always been great, very welcoming. I can't say enough about it. I'm so glad they opened up because we needed something new in the area! read more

The food itself was fine, but unfortunately the service left a really uncomfortable impression. Our server, Christina B., had a very cold and distant attitude from the start. Our drinks came late, and we had to ask for silverware after the food arrived. There was no explanation or communication -- she just seemed visibly annoyed the entire time, even though we barely asked for anything and finished quickly. The most confusing part was paying. Their card reader wasn't connecting, so she disappeared to the back and later returned with just the total on the machine. No explanation, no interaction, just told us to tap and walked away. We then had to go back ourselves to request a printed receipt. The person who brought the receipt (possibly a manager) was also very cold and unwelcoming. Nothing major "went wrong," but the overall experience felt uncomfortable and unfriendly, and we left feeling oddly unwelcome. read more

I have had 2 delicious meals here... One lunch and one dinner. Salad options not listed on the menu are available at lunchtime. Fresh vegetables are absolutely delicious! Great service as well read more

Just lost a customer because you are forcing people to valet. There are only 4 self parking spots. That's not completely because you still need to tip them. I don't valet my car so you lost a customer before I got in the door. Pecan Craft Kitchen (Owner) Hi Robert. We offer both self-parking and complimentary valet service for our guests' convenience. Our valet team ensures we remain friendly neighbors to the residents and businesses located on Warren Circle. Thank you response to the business: The issue is not with what you offer it is that you don't offer enough "self" parking. At the time we were at your restaurant the back "valet" lot was empty but the "4" self parking spots were full. If there was any other option for self parking, your valet personnel did not offer it. We were told that those were the only 4 self parking spots available. In fact they made me do a three point turn to get out of your parking lot. You clearly are more focused on money than CUSTOMER SERVICE. Your response to my review is proof of that. There was no effort to apologize for my experience just a vague attempt to explain my experience away. I have spent many years in the hospitality business working for 5 star resorts and this is no way to stay in business. read more

We stopped in for lunch and sat at the bar. The service was great, but the food...incredible. I had the Pecan chicken sandwich and potatoes. My mate had the grouper sandwich and pasta salad. Both were amazing. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Great food! Sandwiches are great and the salmon is excellent! Wine and beer options with self serve taps are a good concept.

The ambiance of this place is amazing! Very clean, trendy, comfortable, and the outside area is great for kids; however, we found the food to be average (and took an exceptionally long time to come out). I will say the service is great. They did comp our appetizer without us even having to ask. Their drink menu looked amazing and their bar area looked like a nice spot to hang out. You may have to valet if all the self-parking spots are taken. read more

Salmon salad was amazing! Angel eggs were also very delicious! My husband had the Charleston hand held and he said it was okay. Waitress super sweet and attentive! read more

Amazing food and service! Highly recommend the chicken lollipop app and the flatbreads! Cocktails were also excellent. Very happy this place has opened and am looking forward to our next visit! read more

The food was amazing, service was on point, and love the ambiance. Will definitely be back soon.

Pecan Craft Kitchen - We are celebrating our anniversary!! - Southern Near Me - St Johns, Florida

On Dec. 24, we arrived at the restaurant for lunch. We were greeted by the hostess with "Do you have a reservation?" We did not. The restaurant had many tables empty. The website for Pecan Craft Kitchen stated nothing about needing a reservation. It stated "hours may vary" The hostess explained that for that particular day, they were only seating people in the dining room and patio with a reservation. We went to the bar for 2 seats. The bartender was pleasant and helpful. I asked for a gluten free menu or options from the menu as I have celiac disease. He gave me a print-out of a limited menu of GF items. The menu stated they had GF buns for sandwiches, and I ordered a chicken sandwich with a GF bun. My brother ordered from the regular menu and received his lunch. My lunch was not served. The bartender went back to the kitchen to find out why my lunch was not served. He came back to inform me they did NOT have gluten free buns and that was on the menu for the future. There was no prior communication from the kitchen to our bartender/waiter or to me. I then ordered a cheese plate from the GF print-out menu and asked for raw vegetables with it as they did not have GF crackers or bread. This order was served to me. It had perhaps 2 sticks of celery sliced so thinly that it was impossible to spread cheese or other items onto the celery. I can only assume there were no other vegetables in the kitchen. When we left the restaurant 40 minutes later, the restaurant still had empty tables in the main room and patio. It was clear that we could have had a table anywhere in the restaurant. We realized that the Pecan Craft Kitchen was newly opened. It was inadequately organized/managed. At this time, we have no reason to return to this restaurant as it was a frustrating experience from start to finish. Disappointing. read more

The Pecan Craft Kitchen feels warm and welcoming from the minute you walk in. The food is so good and it is locally sourced. Everything i've tried has been wonderful The inside is a comfortable atmosphere and I loved that I could actually hear the people I was dining with--no shouting across the tables The outdoor space is perfect for dinner or enjoying a drink. It was fun to watch multi-generational families eating, talking, and playing games outside Saturday night when we were there. Needless to say Pecan Craft Kitchen will be added to my favorites list! read more

I've lived in Julington Creek for 22 years, and this is saying a lot -- Pecan Craft Kitchen is one of my favorite new additions to our community. Right up there with Bella Vista for me. Last night was my third time eating there since they opened, and it just keeps delivering. The outside patio is my favorite place to sit, the signature drink wall is such a fun touch, and the food is consistently excellent. The Angel Eggs (their version of deviled eggs) are my favorite, the pecan-grilled fish over the mashed sweet potatoes is outstanding, and the filet I had last night was hands down one of the best I've ever had. Genuinely good local owners, great atmosphere, and food worth coming back for. read more
