    This is the Whiskey BBQ Burger.
    Cannon Y.

    Honestly went into this place thinking it was going to be incredible, I left full, just not too impressed. My burger was good, cooked correctly, but was just like any other burger. Nothing special separating it. Fries just like any other place. To be honest the waiting involved for this restaurant made me frustrated. I got the water ( taste how the trash streets of Savannah GA smell) wouldn't recommend getting water. . The service was poor and minimal. I am kicking myself leaving , I tipped 20% feeling like I rewarded poor workmanship.

    First time here with a group of 11. They had live music playing. Server was friendly. We waited a while for our food. Food was good but nothing special. Everyone at the table felt differently about their food. One person felt their food was bland. While another person enjoyed their salad. I enjoyed my hamburger. The fried green tomatoes were a little disappointing as it didn't taste like traditional southern restaurants. The beer cheese soup was nothing to write home about.

    My friends and I really enjoyed this spot! A variety of choices on the menu. The service was speedy and super friendly. We loved the appetizers - brussel sprouts and fried pickles. I would definitely come back here if I go to St Augustine again!

    OH MY GOODNESS! When I tell you I know EXACTLY what I would choose if I were to be stranded on an island..it's this drink! I ordered the Hibiscus Spritz and safe to say it was the best drink i've ever had! It was the perfect amount of sweet without being overbearing. We sat at the bar and service was great as well! The vibe is soo fun and really brings you back in time. I love how the menus are newspapers and don't forget to check out the milkshake bar!

    Visited 08MAY26:: THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME and GREAT VIBES! First time for my girlfriend and I. The atmosphere was so much fun; bar scene, dinner, live music lots of room for just standing around to drink and lots of room for sitting. The menu was the "front of a newspaper" very fun and unique. We ordered fried pickles, I had the lobster roll and my girlfriend ordered a chicken sandwich. The pickles were perfect, good pickle to breading ratio. The lobster roll was packed and really delicious. I would order that again. My girlfriends chicken sandwich was flavorful! Our server was fun and nice! Just all around great experience. I recommend and would eat here again!!

    Had a great lunch while visiting downtown St. Augustine. Prohibition is located in a trendy tourist shopping area. They had quite a line but we were able to secure a reservation and walk around to shop while we waited. They text us when our table was ready which is very convenient. The restaurant is themed from the prohibition area and we lived all the dark moody vibes. Had an amazing server who was knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Food is bar/tavern food and was really good. I loved they had a separate fryer for gluten and shellfish allergies so I could eat the French fries. We both had burgers and they were very tasty. Great bar and a lot of beers to choose from. It is quite noisy but it was part of the fun. Solid place to eat.

    Here St. Augustine doing a walk about stopped for some appetizers and a drink. Had the pork rinds and some deviled eggs with an old-fashioned. Deviled eggs are OK pork ribs are fantastic and the old-fashioned they nailed. It was really good.

    We planned to go here after looking at lights. I called ahead to make a reservation, but they do not make reservations. I highly suggest that if you are gonna walk around to look at lights or around the city, that you stop by and check in first and get on the waitlist. It was a Tuesday night and they still had over an hour wait. There were some places to sit and wait and listen to music. The waitlist is via text so you can definitely walk around while you wait. There's live music from 6 to 9 PM. When we got seated, we were sitting at some tables downstairs between the bar and the booths. I would not recommend these chairs because they were very uncomfortable. It looks like the booths and the upstairs seats were better. The menus look like old newspapers. Our waitress was very attentive and my food was cooked exactly how I asked for it. I ordered the build a burger and it came out fantastic along with the sweet potato tots. They have Diet Coke and Coke products. There are definitely some other food items on the menu I'd still like to try next time. I'm interested in trying their milkshakes and alcoholic milkshakes as well.

    We were here on a Tuesday for a late lunch, still had to wait for 30 minutes for a table. So come early or make a reservation in advance. I had a super bowl salad with grilled chicken with honey and balsamic dressing, it was good. Big portion for one person, I had to take the rest of the salad. Service dogs are allowed inside the restaurant, but can't be on the seat. Good thing we had a stroller for our service dog, so he stayed in his stroller and took a nap. They serve traditional American food, hubby's favorite. The waitress who waited our table was friendly and attentive. There's a waiting area inside the restaurant, so you don't have to wait outside in the heat.

    Snagged a table fri night after about a 30 minute wait (less than I was quoted). Our server Joseph knew every single detail of the menu and was happy to help us pick out our cocktails after a handful of questions lol. I liked the option of a make your own old fashioned, although they don't make smokey ones here which is really my fav. Our cocktails did take a long time to come out, I guess you have to be patient on a fri night. We ordered apps- the giant pretzel and fried pickles- those came out quick and were warm and seemingly fresh. Just be warned after a certain time they pull the tables on the floor- so as soon as you are done eating they will ask you to scoot.

    Great experience... there is the location, St Augie, then you walk through the door and step into this saloon/prohibition/ upbeat spot. The service was friendly and good! I sat at the bar and the guys took care of me. Good suggestions, attentive and friendly. The food was great. I had the signature burger.. so good. And a peanut butter milkshake w peanut butter whiskey!! The ambiance tied it all together. It was a party. Great jazz band playing and sports on the bar TVs. Great stop for my trip in St Augie.

    The Freight-liners band played bluegrass and they were amazing
    Sydney K.

    The ambiance and the live band (shout out the freight-liners) were a 10/10!! The restaurant was big and we did not wait at all to sit. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. The 'crispy' brussel sprouts weren't very crispy because of the ceasar dressing on them, but they were the tastiest bite we had. I had the short-rib grilled cheese, the first few bites were yummy, but it was overall nothing spectacular. The Mac n cheese was very peppery and baked so it had a cheesy crisp, but was not creamy at all. My partner got the main Prohibition burger. The egg and bacon made this burger above average. Again, nothing to go back for specifically. We had their special rum pumpkin milkshake that was sweet and yummy, as expected. Great presentation, but it took a while to come out. Our server told us he was slammed...so service coming out of it was as expected. Don't love that someone is trying to sell photos to you, feels too touristy, yet we are in downtown so can't really argue it.

    Cool spot. Great food. Our server got seated the entire upper floor for herself at same time which took away from service a bit. The musician was awesome Bartender was one of best I've had anywhere. Would definitely go here, worth the wait

    Some of the reviews mentioned making reservations. Do they, in fact, take them?

    I am not sure about small groups. I know they day take reservations for private rooms and private areas for groups of 15+ for like parties and such. You can book 2 or 3 areas at the location.

    Is there parking for the restaurant?

    Parking is nearby in lots/by meter but the restaurant itself is a little walk, in the middle of a long street filled with shops and restaurants.

    Do you havea happy hour?

    Ah, while the Prohibition Kitchen may occasionally offer delightful libation specials, it lacks a regularly scheduled rendezvous for jubilant hours, if you catch my drift.

    Do you have music every night? We will be there Monday and Tuesday nights. What time does music start in the nights that there is music.

    Yes... here is the calendar: https://pkstaug.com/calendar

    Is it dog friendly?

    Leave your dog home

    Do they take reservations?

    No they don't take reservations, we just put our name on the list and explored the area.

    Is there a Kid's menu?

    Yes!! There is a kids menu! I ordered a burger from it and it came with fries, I think it was like less than $10 and there were other options as well!

    Should we make a reservation?

    They Do Not Take Reservations. FYI to responders of questionable, Do not answer if you actually don't know the accurate answer because you do not know any more than the person asking. You are doing a disservice by posting incorrect answers and can… Read more

It was fun, different, and surprisingly good! It is one of those dishes you won't find just anywhere. Husband loved his upscale bologna sandwich and the waffle fries were yummy! Overall, Treylor Park delivers on atmosphere and creativity. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a little outside the box with a fun, energetic vibe and memorable food.

The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

It was a pretty cold and uncomfortable welcome. That said, the restaurant is absolutely charming. I really loved the interior ambiance--it's cozy, well-decorated, and has a very pleasant vibe. The food was extremely delicious. We ordered the Half Pound Ice Plant Burger and it was juicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. You could taste the quality in every single bite--the meat was perfect, the ingredients fresh, and everything very well balanced. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had recently. Despite the initial host experience, I would return without hesitation for the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended, but they could improve the initial greeting.
