We drove 2 hours from Orlando to try this place!!! It was worth the trip. All the food was great but the biscuits- OMG!!!! The peach butter made them even more amazing. The service was great as well. I recommend you come early as they are busy and close at 2:00pm.

Stop by here on a whim had to wait 30 minutes for a table, BUT it was worth it. The vibe is like a cozy delicious breakfast at your grandma's house. Very unique, aesthetic warm and inviting. Parking can be a challenge because the parking lot is not that big. The biscuits and peach butter are phenomenal.

Stopped into Blue Hen for breakfast before exploring downtown St. Augustine and I was so glad I did! The restaurant itself is very unique and inviting. The calm and friendly atmosphere certainly reflects the staff and management - as everyone was extremely kind, helpful, and welcoming. For food, my wife and I got a bit carried away but it was worth it! I ended up ordering their 2 chicken biscuit breakfast with a side of eggs and cheese grits while my wife got their breakfast burrito. We thought we were going to stop there but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to try their pumpkin pancakes - so we ordered two of those as well. The portions sizes were perfect and definitely worth the cost! Literally we finished everything and it kept us full throughout the rest of the day until dinner. And as for the taste -Everything was delicious! The chicken biscuits were crispy yet juicy and were served with a peach butter cream that was mouthwatering. My wife said her breakfast burrito was jam packed with toppings and was one of the best breakfast burrito she has had. And finally the pumpkin pancakes- AMAZING! If we still had room we would have ordered more. If you're visiting St. Augustine or even if you're a local, I would definitely recommend adding Blue Hen to your list of places to stop into to grab a bit. Trust me it's worth it!

My wife and I were extremely pleased that we stopped in to the blue Hen. The staff at this restaurant have amazing customer service. I had the blue crab quiche and it exceeded my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. My wife and I will be back.

Half order of biscuits and gravy with a soft scramble 10/10 Bacon tomato omelette with home fries and toast. Peace butter was SO GOOD
Anna D.

The best breakfast we had while staying a week in st. Augustine. Worth the wait! I would drink a gallon of their gravy if I could. Biscuits were so fluffy and the peach butter made my eyes pop out my head they were so tasty. Our server was the kindest person you'd ever meet. Great vibes. Check their hours before you come.

Fried Green Tomato BLT

We loved this spot. Plenty of parking (never sure when you're in St Augustine), great service, and we all enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend the Fried Green Tomato BLT and sweet potato fries!

This is a very popular place due to the delicious food, reasonable prices and excellent service. I believe it's worth the wait. The space is comfortable without being overcrowded. The food is made from scratch so it's not quick but the friendly staff and a delicious pint guava mimosa help to pass the time away. The plates are huge so my friend and I shared a plate of corned beef hash & eggs, which was not your usual greasy hash. It was made with chunks of potato, onion, peppers and corned beef. They have some daily specials for lunch as well. Just be forewarned that if you sit outside to wait for a table, the mosquitoes are also feasting.

Pumpkin Pancake

The Blue Hen Cafe is where the locals and tourists go for a fantastic breakfast and lunch in Saint Augustine. There's typically a wait (it's well worth it). The food is excellent, elevated breakfast fare. The service is a team effort (my coffee as never empty) and impeccable. The atmosphere is casual and unique...part diner, part family breakfast. The pumpkin pancake was fantastic. The butter unique and syrup, delicious. The guacamole slices atop my vegetable Omlette was a genius accent, the Omlette itself perfect, the biscuit fantastic, and best of all was their potatoes. Since we were at the bar, I had to look into the kitchen to see if I could figure out what made these so good. They're not pre-cooked or baked potatoes, put in whole, fried to the exact right amount and seasoned perfectly. We'll be back. I highly recommend you try The Blue Hen Cafe on your next visit to Saint Augustine.

Pumpkin pancakes

Got to the Blue Hen on a Saturday just past 9am. We were told 20 minutes wait and gave our party of 3 coffee which was billed later. We were sat down at 20 minutes. Very hot outside and drinking coffee we were brought inside. We asked for water and the cups with ice were kid sizes. They were busy so we had to wait for a refill. They should invest on a pitcher of water for the table. The food was brought very quickly. All the waitresses were young and beautiful there and did a great job. The pumpkin pancakes were good but not awesome. The grits and burrito were awesome. The breakfast sandwich was just okay. We have been coming for years still the best spot in my opinion. Place was very clean and when we left it was a 50 minute wait around 10am on a Saturday.

Blue crab quiche

Killing time between Jacksonville and Daytona after the 24 Hours of Daytona race. Needed a place for lunch and this did not disappoint. We arrived at the cusp of their breakfast shifting to lunch menu, and we opted for the lunch menu as it still had some solid breakfast options. Being from CA I had to try the fried green tomatoes and they did not disappoint with the homemade ranch and black bean salsa. The blue crab quiche was a perfect flavor (a little ocean with the eggs) and the crust was a solid base. Paired with the biscuit, potatoes, and greens, this was one of my favorite meals of our trip.

Corn beef hash Blue Hen style. Blows away the sludgy stuff most place pass it off as.
TC S.

New location, same vibe. Great food prepared and served by people that enjoy each other and keeping customers happy. Blue Hen corn beef hash is so much better than the sludgy stuff most places pass off for it!

Fried Chicken
Loralyn N.

This was my first introduction to true Floridian Southern food. We had a pretty huge group of 13, so make a note of that if you come for brunch, you will have to wait. We didn't mind though as there was a little market across the street for us to walk and get coffee at. We waited at least 40min. I'm not big on heavy food and wasn't sure if I would enjoy anything, but I do love shrimp. I ordered the shrimp and grits with collard greens and was NOT disappointed. Oh my goodness. It was amazing! The texture of the grits was nice and the shrimps were so big and that SAUCE. I'm drooling just thinking about it. My bf got the Yardbird and he killed it. The chicken was super crispy and juicy on the inside. It was such a great meal. If I'm ever back in the St. Augustine area, I'd love to come back here.

A cozy breakfast spot that gets the basics exactly right. The biscuits are one of the best ones I've ever tried and the real standout is the homemade peach butter, definitely worth a visit.

Ask the Community - The Blue Hen Cafe

Is there parking?

There is a tiny lot across the street that fills up quickly, other than that, whatever you can find on the street.

Dog friendly he's under 9 lb?

They are a friendly location for sure and I thought they added some seating out front. But I'm sure they will accommodate. Nice place! Feels like you're home.

Is there a company that will deliver from here?

No. The Blue Hen Cafe is not affiliated with any delivery service at this time.

Especially on the weekends, when there is a wait, are you able to order a mimosa or other drink at the bar (or wherever) to enjoy while you wait?

Yes, you can get a mimosa or coffee to drink outside while you wait for your table.

The menu is where things get especially interesting--unique, playful, and definitely not your standard fare. I tried the chicken apple pie sandwich, which was as unexpected as it sounds. 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 ordering process seemed chaotic but I ordered two Cuban sandwiches and a Cafe Con Leche for lunch. Told the wait would be 15 minutes, we sat outside in the meantime. 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.
