The Conch House Restaurant - So far so great!! - Caribbean Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Great atmosphere/waterfront vibe. Especially love the live music after dinner. We go there everytime we visit St Augustine

This was a fun place to eat. We waited and sat at a tiki hut by the water with a nice breeze blowing, in the shaded atmosphere. The mahi tacos were outstanding, along with the coconut rice and black beans. The fried green tomato BLT was outstanding. Our waiter, Jack, was great. read more

The ambiance is great- sitting in the tiki hut was super cute and had great views of the harbor. The service was alright at best. The food was okay but nothing special. Also we wanted a friend and her son to meet us maybe 5 min after we were sat and they wouldn't let us. I'd understand if they were slammed and or we were asking to accommodate a large party but sitting us at a 8 top, when there were only two of us- but not letting two of our friends join within five mins of sitting doesn't scream good hospitality. Mid at best. read more

I really enjoyed the outdoor seating environment and by chance you might get to set an a special booth! This booth is closer to the water and on a higher level which is great for scenery. I shared a dozen steamed oysters with a friend and at first we had no idea how to shuck them lol. I had the tacos and the sauce was honestly too spicy for me to enjoy so I had to brush it aside. read more

The Conch House Restaurant - Oysters - Caribbean Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

I've tried this place several times but each time I go away thinking over priced and average food. Arrived and asked for hut seating. Although you can seat 2 in the huts it can hold upwards of 8. I was waiting on 5 more to arrive and they did not want to seat us while we waited. I decided to grab a beverage but I didn't want to go out the pier to get a drink. It was crowded and extremely loud with a band playing. So, although I wanted to be seated to purchase drinks and appetizers I was told I had to wait. But after the entire party arrived it was a total disappointment as the food was not good. Oh and although we should have watched, they automatically added 18% gratuity, which included 2 very young children, the server did not mention that gratuity was already added. So we almost gave the server 38%, because we added 20% on top of the 18%. But we did catch it. I've been to some great restaurants and the server always reminds the person paying. Not here!!!!! St Augustine has great restaurants and this is not one of them! read more

What a lucky shot to have come across this spot in St Augustin Beach. We arrived early afternoon on a Weekday, place was not crowded and we were seated up in a high tiki table overlooking the bay by a friendly staffer. Tyler was our waiter and he made some great recommendations for appetizers, we enjoyed the alligator nuggets in a yummy dipping sauce. The conch soup was delish. We ordered the popular rum drink( forgot the name) but had rum 151, pineapple & coconut rum, very good. Then we ordered the bbq pulled pork sandwich, soooo yummy! My hubby had the three meat sandwich also great. Our view was beautiful & relaxing, our waiter Tyler was terrific, we would definitely recommend and hope we can come back again soon. read more

Stunning views at this restaurant on the water. Right in the marina The Conch house has prime location. Parking is easy as there is plenty available. We kinda just stumbled on this place so we had to wait a little to get a table. But fear not there is a bar to wait at a little further down the marina! So we did. Wait was shorter than anticipated, and we got seated at a awesome table overlooking the water, just perfect. The menu is huge, already had drinks from the bar, just beer and bubbles. Obviously lots of seafood here, we got the conch fritters, steamed oysters and French fries to share. The conch fritters are not really my thing, but my friend loved them. The oysters, I usually prefer raw, but these were great steamed. Not over steamed. Enjoyed trying to open them, successfully sometimes , sometimes passing into my friend as I couldn't open it !! Their fries were awesome, super crunchy, seasoned, hot, perfect with all our other stuff. Our server was terrific, personable, friendly, full of suggestions. This is such a great place to sit and have a drink, fresh seafood, and just relax and take in the sights. Watch the sailboats. Loved this little gem in the water. read more

Really disliked the calamari. The breading was super thick and took away from the taste of the calamari. Just didn't eat it. The shrimp and grits was not worth the price. Other than that, the place is beautiful and we had perfect drinks. Our waitress and every staff person was super friendly and happy. Maybe it was an off day for calamari. read more

Food was good! Service was great and the views were amazing!! Great atmosphere! Definitely would recommend for family's or date nite!

Very good!!! The service was a little slow but it's understandable and things happen but the food was amazing.

Perfect atmosphere on the docks by the marina! It was crowded when we arrived, put our names on the waiting list and walked out to the bar area to listen to the live music. The bartenders there were efficient! By the time we got our outside table the cold front had moved in and it was cold! Our table was near the gator nest (yes-you have to check it out) and I was happy to have my hot food! read more

Going with 5 - food was perfect and Marshall provided great service. Had the special of the day fish Taco - great flavor, came out hot and the aioli sauce on it hit a perfect flavor. Love the corn salsa on it too. My wife's shrimp plate - well all the shrimp were gone! Seriously though, they butterfly the shrimp prior to frying, which is a nice touch and a light breading too. Shrimp were tender. Season fries were excellent. I'm a coleslaw snob, sorry it was standard fare. Recommend this place for sure. read more

Service on a Sunday night is really non-existent. Perhaps the Conch House should consider closing on Sunday evenings. The place was NOT busy, yet it took over 25 minutes for anyone to bus and clean our table so our party of 6 who met there at 6pm could be seated in a Tiki Hut. From there the service was glacier-like. The only way we got the attention of our server was to call his name out when he was at another table. The food was good-- but great food abounds in St. Augustine-- won't be back here read more

My husband and I came here and to Harry's while in St. Augustine and we loved this place much more. No wait, much less crowded, and better food. I had the grouper meal with rice and beans and it was so delicious. The fish was blackened and both perfectly seasoned and cooked and so good I wanted more. The rice and beans were a little bland, but the fish made up for it. My husband got the scallops and they were good. The sauce they were cooked in was a little sweeter than we liked but we wanted to try something different. My spicy margarita was very yummy. We were right by the water and it seemed like they may have live music some nights. Our waitress was very nice and so was another server that she was working with as they checked up on us often and didn't rush us out as we were there pretty close to closing time. We will go back next time we are in town. read more

We went on a Friday evening so we had to wait awhile for a table. I enjoyed the walk out on the dock where the bar was. We sat at a nice outdoor table. The evening fog was rolling in so it got a little chilly. We enjoyed a nice meal. Oysters, seafood pasta, clam chowder. It was a nice time. read more

When you go to the conch house you can walk out in the pier, where their is a bar, tables and chairs, as well as live music. It's a fun place if you are just wanting to hang out and have a drink. Cocktails will run you about $10-$12 and beer is about $6-$8. There is no food service, but you can go to the actual conch house and get food to go and bring it back. The only problem is, if they are busy they won't do to go orders. I get that, but we were hungry and drinking so we ended up leaving. We were really enjoying ourselves, but needed to eat. Most people were very friendly and the staff was nice. read more

I don't ever remember visiting a restaurant quite like this, yeah it's unique to say the least with its individual dining pods strung out from the deck with most of them sitting over the water, so it's definitely got a cool factor of ten, but I'm here for cocktails and food and at this point any atmosphere will do. Of course there's a forty minute wait for a pod, but the interior seating has no wait and with the humidity above the ninety percent range the air conditioning sounds pretty inviting. We were fortunate to get a nice table window side and the hostess provided us with nice clean laminated menus to look over until our server arrived. I don't think I read the first offering when Joshua our server arrived with a giant smile and a very friendly vibe - not knowing the drinking laws we assumed there weren't any and all ordered a mule heavy on the St. Augustine Vodka and after quicker checking his watch his nodding meant he could now serve alcohol (note one to file sleep in on Sunday's they don't serve alcohol in this county until noon - note two to file forget note one and remember to bring your own alcohol to enjoy before lunch I mean breakfast). The Food: Fried Alligator - it's spicy and almost melt in your mouth tender, this is definitely a starter you'll want to try - if you've never experienced gator this may be a good time to try it on... Blackened Jerk Chicken Sandwich - yes chicken I live here I don't always need to order seafood or the fish of the day even though today the fish was wahoo - the chicken arrived blackened and spiced to perfection topped with pineapple salsa with a thick slice of ripened tomato and lettuce, I ordered mayo on the side - today it was served on a soggy potato bun ( hey it's okay I didn't need the carbs anyways but it's likely most would have been disappointed) putting the bun aside this sandwich was nice, very nice I highly recommend it. Shrimp Anastasia - Sautéed locally sourced shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes and prosciutto, white wine butter sauce served over pasta with shaved Parmesan. I think the ingredients speak for themselves not what I usually crave but the girls said it was spot on. St. Augustine Mule - Hand crafted St. Augustine, Florida Cane Vodka with Barritt's Ginger Beer and fresh squeezed lime juice with lots of ice and a few wedges of lime - a refreshing and hydrating beverage with a kick of a mule, drink plenty but be responsible I'm sure you know your limit. I arrived here with expectations lower than I would normally have but I must say the service and food exceeded my expectations, it was an enjoyable experience and one that I hope to repeat many times in the future... read more

We had our Valentines a few days early due to having to work. We didn't make a reservation, got there and were sat right away (it was chilly so everyone was inside but we wanted a hut) win for us. I forget our waitress name but she was wonderful! He really enjoyed the Mahi special and his Mi Thai drink & he LOVED the kie lime pie. The lobster Mac n cheese was really good though I feel like it could have had more lobster for sure. My spicy pineapple margarita was great but wasn't a fan of whatever it put on the rim (I'd prefer sugar would pair nice with the spice in drink) We had a great time & will be back again soon! Also we'd LOVE for Reggie Sundays to come back read more

What a neat restaurant we have early November- but this is a must eat for the summer. It is right on the water and lots of outdoor areas. The food was good but the atmosphere so cool. The kids with us loved the baby alligators and feeding the catfish right off the docks. The shrimp and grits were fantastic, the red chowder was like a seafood chili very unique but delicious. I got the tuna salad and there was plenty of tuna with a delicious ginger dressing. We got the smoked seafood dip as an appetizer and my dinner mates really liked the scallops and pasta Anastasia. read more

If you are in Florida and you want a truly unique Florida experience, The Conch House should be your first stop! I discovered this place 25 years ago and instantly fell in love with it. How many places can you order conch fritters and gator tail? Both of which are absolutely wonderful by the way. This restaurant has been around for over 75 years. It's a staple of the St Augustine community. On Sundays they even have live music, weather permitting. Today is an absolutely horrid day weather wise, so, the restaurant itself is very slow. Lucky me. I ordered the conch fritters and these little fried delights come in a well balanced batter with nice little pieces of conch and a variety of spices and peppers. They are crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Exactly how they are supposed to be. The fritters are served with a delicious key lime mustard dipping sauce that compliments the subtle flavors found in the fritters itself. The Local Gator bites are nice sized, tender and the batter they are fried in is fresh and cooked to order. They melt in your mouth and they come with a slightly spicy template that compliments the meat well. If you have kids, you could order these, tell them it's chicken and they would never know. Once they scarf them down you could then blow their minds by telling them they just ate a gator! The kitchen was out of crab today which is too bad since I was thinking about getting the crab cakes. I ended up ordering a bowl of the soup of the day which was a very nice seafood chowder. It has pieces of lobster, crab and shrimps in it. The base was creamy and smooth with a little bit of a Sherry background and fresh ground black pepper. It was sublime and did a great job of warming me up after a wet cold and windy day in St Augustine. The meal was topped off with a slice of their home made Key Lime Pie. It's clearly made in a square hotel pan instead of a traditional pie pan. So the piece of pie comes out Square instead of the traditional wedge shape. It has a really nice thick Graham Cracker crust with a rich creamy tart key lime center. It's served with a dollop of whipped cream, a sliver of Key lime and even a chilled fork. A very nice touch. The pie itself has a very rich flavor of Key lime and custard doing a wonderful dance in your mouth. It's not too sour, nor too sweet. It holds a perfect balance that leaves a full flavored experience. And yes, this is a real key lime pie with it's slightly green tinted yellow filling. I've had this pie all over the world and this one is as good as anything you'll compare it to! It's their own recipe, made in their own kitchens for 32 years! The rest of the menu has a number of signature dishes incorporating their very own Datil Pepper Sauce. The menu has a variety of interesting pairings which sets it apart from the usual national chain restaurants and I'm very impressed that they are taking chances with their food. It's very refreshing to see a chef not afraid of spreading his or her wings. The restaurant itself is a traditional nautical themed restaurant right on the Matanzas River but they have multi level dining which makes it interesting as well as a number of outside booths that look like little tropical cabanas. The restaurant has a very nice blend of music featuring Steely Dan, James Brown and other singer songwriters from the early 70's. It's a very relaxing environment with a great view! Wether you are dining with family, a date or even friends, this place has more than enough to make certain that your meal will be both different and mentionable at the same time! I look forward to coming back some day. But, honestly I'm kicking myself for not getting here sooner. This is, after all, one of my favorite places to get a really extraordinary meal! read more

We just finished lunch at the Conch House. We love going there every year while visiting St Augustine. We had an unfortunate snafu! I ordered Chicken pasta. Our server Megan, returned in a few minutes saying that wasn't available so I order a shrimp salad wrap. When our food arrived she came with the chicken pasta and all our other orders. She said now the kitchen had it and prepared it and we could have it. Nice, I thought. I passed it around and several others sampled it. I about 5 minutes, our server came back and said her manager said she had to charge us for it. Not wanting to make a scene, we agreed. After we paid our bill, we thought that's not right. Talked to the mamager but she said because we didn't return it she couldn't refund the money. read more

My fam and I were in town for the weekend and they decided on the place for lunch. We were a pretty big group but they were able to accommodate us pretty quickly. This place is in a cute area. It over looked the water and had some cool watch area you could up in. Forgive me as I don't remember what everyone got but I ended up getting the conch burger with fries and the side of the table I was on got the nachos to share. Nachos were fire and the burger was your standard burger but it didn't disappoint. Service through out our meal was pretty good. They were attentive and super nice. Parking was easy; just a short walk to the restaurant. Overall, it was a first good experience at the Conch House. Make sure you get them nachos! Lol. Will I be back? Yes read more

I've been there twice. Both times the flavors were amazing. Salmon 1 time and jerk chicken the next. The staff was kind and easy going like a beach restaurant should be. We're planning our next visit. Thanks everyone. read more

Stopped here for some eats and drinks while on a roadtrip here in St. Augustine. Winded up being a great time and possibly the best waiting service we've had thus far. This place is so popular it was over an hour to wait but with a cool boardwalk, ocean views, a bar over the water and a band playing we weren't going anywhere. They have really cool and different seating options for the restaurant. You can choose to sit inside in the Captains lounge, the out door deck, the Everglades dining patio, the topside bar, and some seats were outside in their own private tiki and all have great views. Seats were crowded by the bar area but no worries since they had more seating below on the dock that was covered and you still had the views and the music. After a couple of drinks we were text that our table was ready and Mackenzie was our waitress. We were a party of 5 and she took care of us like a true professional. We NEVER had to ask for anything not water, straws, refills, napkins, sauces, I mean she was on point and made our whole experience even better. She recommended some great dishes and we all stuffed our faces and needed to be rolled out like rolly pollys. We started with gator bites. I've never been a fan but these ones were the best ever! We also had the conch chowder, conch fritters, and the cracked conch....and these were just the appetizers ha ha. We could not resist this menu! I had the shrimp Anastasia and I'm telling you I would come back for this dish alone. It was so light for a pasta dish but it had some serious flavor that I just wanted more of it was that damn good! Bestie had the shrimp and grits and the proportion is big enough to share for 2 to 3 people tops. Bae and other bestie had the crab cake dinner and didnt share but I stole a fork full and last dish was a pecan crusted island catch fish, I thinknit was Corvina. Anyhow everything was fabulous and we ALL walked out with doggie bags. This place also has some cool events like Reggae Sundays, full moon parties, seafood bowls, fishing tournaments, etc. This spot has it all and is a definite must when in St. Augustine! We can't wait to come back! read more

Great staff. Great view. Great food and drinks. We stopped here on the way back Downtown from the Lighthouse. I recommend eating outside in the tiki huts if you can - lovely view and breeze. We had fried food which was fantastic - lightly breaded, very flavorful and calamari you could cut with a fork. Afterward you didn't feel like a lead balloon was in your belly. We tried a few cocktails - Gombay Smash and a Spicy Pineapple Margarita. I loved that Margarita. If we had more time in St. Augustine or if I am back again I'd definitely grab another meal and cocktail here. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place, we stop here every time we are in St. Augustine area. Some of the best seafood and environment around. The outdoor seating and the tiki tables over the water are wonderful. We had the mahi both fried and blackened - came out excellent! When tide is high, the tables are over the water, you can feed the fish below. Past visits we had dolphins swimming in the area and the kids loved seeing them.

We LOVED the Conch House!! We went around 4:30 pm on a Saturday evening and it was packed!! Plan to wait awhile for a table if it's a beautiful day! We wanted to sit in one of the huts that over look the water, so the wait we were told would be over an hour..but it ended up being exactly an hour. We didn't mind because they have a great bar at the end of their pier and they had live music. Once seated we were greeted by a great server who was very friendly and attentive to our needs. He had great suggestions for the menu. We ordered drinks and the shrimp and artichoke bake and it was delicious!! For dinner I had the shrimp tacos, my husband had the fresh catch. Both meals were yummy!! Prices were reasonable. The view was amazing!! Highly recommend the conch house for a fun evening!! read more

My reviews are getting boring. Sorry. Guess we are in a "great service zone", and have met so many friendly people. Go to the marina bar first. Ship themed and awesome. Say hi to Miles, and get a goombay smash. (Gotta love a cocktail with three rums!) Calamari with banana peppers was different and delicious. Perfectly fried, not greasy. Nice sized portion. The Majorca red chowder with conch was spicy, deep flavors, and clearly a perfected dish made for decades. Shrimp Anastasia was excellent. Perfectly cleaned and cooked local shrimp with veggies over Al dente pasta. Excellent new your strip, nicely salted, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Home made key lime pie. Kenzi was an awesome, friendly server. Beautiful place with friendly people and excellent food. Great night! read more

We have been to the Conch house at least 12 times. Always start with the conch fritters and end with the key lime pie. We have never been disappointed with any of the main dishes. Eat inside or out the service is excellent. Our last visit we drove up from Ormond Beach only because we had yet to find a comparable key lime pie (which should be yellow, not green). Be sure to walk the pier. Last visit we saw a sea turtle. Previous trips we had seen manatees. read more

Closed for a remodel our first weekend in town but reopened in time for a visit and lovely mealThe Tiki bar in the marina was having it's remodel so this was a good time to check out this operation.Glad we did.Must be mayhem in the summer,as there is bundles of outdoor seating and a fair amount indoors.Our server was Emma,who was very friendly and informative and we had a good chat with her(must of been getting off shift).We didn't want a big meal,so we shared some tacos and ordered a bowl of seafood stew and a bowl of conch chowder.I question the "bowl"...didn't seem like 16 ounces to me.Stew didn't have a lot in it and very mild.Conch was very tender and also mild.The tacos?My oh my.Spot on pulled pork,side of black beans and rice.Delicious.We came back later for drinks and that gave me time to check out the running of the place.The staff cover all the bases,good leadership and communication.Not an easy place to serve...big trays and doors to challenge the carry of food and drinks.Bathrooms are spotless.Plenty of parking and the views of the marina are lovely.No wonder this place is popular...and this was the first week of February! read more

Let me start off by saying, this is my husband and I's third day on our honeymoon. And as Newley weds we thought it'd be cool to try and find restaurants that looked AMAZING and that would have a great atmosphere where we could enjoy ourselves. We THOUGHT that we might find that in this restaurant but instead, what we got was : "No seating outside" which we specifically asked multiple times EVEN AFTER seeing people be seated outside. We got : ABSOLUTELY NO SERVING after we were seated; even to ask us for drinks. We got : a crap attitude by the waitress when we brought up that people were in fact seated outside and we just asked if we could be moved since we saw that. She just kept saying "you can go ask the hostess" instead of "I was told we're not seating outside at this moment but let me double check for you!" (Which is what any respectable server would and should say) Oh yeah...we got : that attitude towards us after being seated for 17 minutes of literally no service. There were 4 people INCLUDING the manager that kept walking past us one after the other, we watched other people getting everything they needed and we got seated and left like we were invisible. ***I've personally worked this industry so I KNOW about bad days as a server. But not once have I EVER talked to any clients with the disrespect and distasteful attitude that she had given us. Needless to say, I'll never recommend this restaurant to anyone and if someone asks me about it, I'll tell them to stay away. Thank you for helping us have a wonderful honeymoon and a great dinner... probably what I would've said if it were true. Maybe I'll update on where we go to dinner next and hopefully it'll be the best review! @ The Conch House in St.Augustine... I'd give 0 stars if possible. read more
