Sometimes the food is great, sometimes it's awful. There's no consistency aside from the contemptuous attitude of a certain server who has been there for way too long. I've been going here regularly for years and am under the strong impression that the owners are not that great to work for. Especially now that there is a sign on the door complaining about limited workforce... essentially blaming anybody but themselves for their poor service and unreliable quality. Plenty of restaurants here are doing just fine. PAY your staff better and hire a REAL manager to run your business. Any time I see the owners there they are just slowing things down and getting in everybody's way. Wake up!

Always friendly service and consistently good food. Those unfortunately are not staples at most restaurants in St. Augustine. Easy menu here that is well executed every visit. Thank you for always serving us great food with a smile!

Everyone in our party was really pleased with their entrees. Our waitress was very cordial and polite. The place is nicely decorated and very clean. Don't let this place slip by if you're in the area.

Hubby had the drunken burrito and I had Cajun shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were just okay, hubby enjoyed his burrito with the beer cheese.

When we walked in there was only one other table with customers, they took our drink order and then we waited over 20 mins to have our food order taken. It took over thirty minutes to get our food. The only order that tasted good was the gumbo and then they charged everyone a “large party” surcharge of $7 a piece or %20 per ticket. There was only six adults and one toddler. We spit the bill between the three families. The only good thing was our waitress, but save your money and go to Hurricane Bar and Grill down the street, way better food and you don’t get ripped off.

When we arrived the place had obviously been swamped and was just starting to clear. Our server, Jordan, was excellent. The food was fabulous (certainly understood why they were so busy)! We love how they put nice picnic tables in the parking lot in front so we can bring our dogs. We will definitely be making our way through the menu every time we're in town. What a great place. Glad our usual go-to was closed that night!

Great restaurant! The chips and beer cheese queso and homemade salsa are great, and the wet burrito and steak quesadilla is excellent. Don’t sleep on the sweet potato waffle fries either! They are a “hidden” menu item but fantastic!

I love this place. It was a great atmosphere and the jerk chicken pineapple quesadilla was amazing. A must have.

Enjoyed mahi tacos, shrimp hoagi, roasted red pepper soup, and white chocolate bread pudding! All for less than $50 for 2. Served quickly, hot and yummy.

Average food, high prices. Disappointed that they charged me for a side of ranch without letting me know there would be a charge. Petty charges like this stop customers from coming back.
