Attention tourists and who are from not locals and are on the island at hotels. This location is nowhere near the beach. It's actually in downtown St Augustine in the West King District . No public bathroom. This is really a crab market vibe/ convenience store. It's a simple simple one man store.. but the gentleman works really hard. It's right next to King Food Mart, which specializes in fried chicken and gizzards. I have DoorDash to this location and customers really love it. read more

The crabs are the best and pretty much the only place I found them. The owner will hook you up! He is the best too. Plus you're supporting a small business. I loved my crabs. I'll be back for sure. It's (to go only ) but he cooks them for you. They were juicy. I got them without seasoning and I put my own on. read more

So me and my wife just got the snow crab and shrimp combo. Here's the honest view the flavor of the crab, and the shrimp was tasting good, but some of the crab was cold, looks like they heated on the microwave. the shrimp had no head, but they didn't remove the poop, was disgusting, we couldn't eat. And the sides, we didn't try. Those didn't seem to look very good. read more

We wanted some good crab legs and fixings; Yelp gave us this place. And we were not disappointed at all!!! We cannot say enough good things about this place and the owner. He let us try a blue crab, which was delicious. We ended up ordering crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, corn, boiled egg and sausage. Everything was A1A perfect!!!!!! I've been vacationing in St. Augustine 15 years and this was the first time here. This is a new favorite and we will come back here again at every visit. And, he had a verse on his white board. It's always nice seeing evidence of other believers. read more

Just what we were looking for, the crabs were 10/10. No option to sit down, so keep that in mind.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere! There were plenty of specials to choose from and our server was knowledgable enough to point us towards them when it made more sense than the regular menu. read more

Fun casual place for a great meal. Not a ton of selection but enough for most to find something Low Country Boil - shrimp were done perfectly; very tasty sausage and corn & potatoes were done well Shrimp & Deviled Crab - again everything was done well Great friendly service read more

I went in here yesterday and bought a 30$ meal which included 2 corn 2 sausages, the giant crabs and shrimp. I use to go here with my mom but I haven't in 2 years and wanted to see if it was still good. The service and ambiance are great and all but the next day after I had only eaten the crab and the shrimp I had the worst food poisoning of my life, I'm talking hot flashes so bad I almost called 911 because I thought I was going to die. No hate to the restaurant because once again I use to go here all the time however I just hope they read this and check their seafood again because no way in hell I should've had to sh*t myself, have a temperature well over 110, and also puke up everything I had just ate. Over some damn sea food read more

This is a go to place for Maryland Style crabs. The flavor is always on point and I recommend this place to all of my friends!

Visiting the area for the week and this was a place I wanted to try with family and friends. A very sketchy area like others mentioned...take out only as well. Everything is precooked and boxed mostly then plopped in the MICROWAVE...yes REHEATED!!!after they seasoned and dolloped the butter...that there threw me off...as I'm standing there watching all that I was kinda hesitant about this and you could imagine the thought process...like how do I know if these are like 2-3days old and such. Cause thats definitely a first for me witnessing first hand something like this. But let me tell you....it was great...my brain is confused but my taste buds were ecstatic...shrimp was plump and delicious. Crabs were moist and firm. Only thing was corn was a bit undercooked...so yeah...just be prepared to see how it goes down inside. read more

Delicious! Totally worth our drive from St. Augustine. You order from the counter and then sit down and they bring the food out to your table. Not a lot of seating but we lucked out and got a table quickly. read more

A1A Crab House - Places - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Every time I travel through Saint Augustine, I make sure I stop in for some blue crabs. To be fair, I don't do their butter sauce. I prefer them naked so I can't comment on the sauce. I will say, I don't really like that they microwave the crabs inside of the styrofoam containers that they use. I get it that they pre portion everything out and put them in the cooler, but it would be nice if they didn't microwave in them. There are usually a few spots of melted styrofoam on my crabs. But I won't give them any stars off because I understand that it's a small business and they are doing the best they can. But that would be something u hope they'll look into changing. read more

Great prices great food. Had the blue garlic crabs and the garlic shrimp. It was delicious. Great service too.

Fresh blue crab and shrimp. The shrimp was good with warm butter and lemon salt. The blue crab was lightly seasoned and lots of work to get very small amounts of meat. The owner is friendly and forewarned us of the work it took to get to the meat. He also made recommendations as first time guests. Sometimes the hole in the wall joints are the best, and this place definitely fit the bill. We recommend getting the combo which includes some sides...I believe the owner hooked it up with corn on the cob, sliced sausage, a half potato wedge and a boiled egg, all of the sides tasted were excellent. read more

The blue crabs are pre cooked and cut Into quarters, so don't expect an entire crab. Shrimps aren't local but are wild.caught. Great for take out only. read more

We got the larger sized shrimp ($12.99) and the lady smothered it in garlic, seafood boil and butter and let me tell you, this has got to be the best shrimp I've ever had. She had me very worried when she offered to heat them by microwaving them. I passed, knowing I had about a twenty minute drive to our condo but asked her for how long to microwave them. She said about a minute and a half so that's what I did when I got to the condo and even with microwaving, it was still delicious. Man, I would come often if I lived nearby. read more

A1A Crab House - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

The shrimp was phenomenal! Excellent customer service! Highly recommend this place if in the area!! 10/10 experience!

I love this place for several reasons. But one thing that I think attracts most people here is, you get fresh seafood for a great price. He even gets fresh crawfish in sometimes. I love that. It's been so hard to find fresh (not frozen) crawfish. The owner is amazing. I was there today and I was able to see how he interacts with his customers. The people really love him and talk to him like he's family. And he does the same. I love seeing that. Most of all, the owner and his wife are all around great people. I've been sick and they have gone above and beyond to ensure that I had food to eat and that I am taken care of. You just don't find good people like them anymore. I would recommend anyone looking to support a local business, please go here! read more

Food was really good. Price was good waitress was great. Food came good for as busy as they were came fast easy to get into without a reservation. read more

We got three different trays. 1: blue crab 2: snow crab legs 3: garlic shrimp. The crabs were all well seasoned and very sweet meat. The snow crab was definitely fresher than most of these chain restaurants! The meat fell right out the shell when cracked and was not all dried out! I also liked the owner. He was nice and had the food ready and waiting by the time I arrived. A+ read more

Wow! The best snow crab I've ever had. We were on an anniversary trip to St Augustine, and didn't want to go sit down somewhere to eat. We found the crab house and WOW! Super nice lady at the front, served us the best seafood ever, even with a power outage at the register. We took our snow crab, shrimp, potatoes, eggs, and sausage back to our bed and breakfast and made a spread right in bed. The perfect night with amazing food. Seasoned perfectly. Heated thoroughly. Meaty crab legs. Will definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

I love going here to get crab and shrimp trays. They sell very full trays of seafood with the best butter sauce! I love this place so much!

visited here for the first time with the family as the kids were craving crab. Didn't know this is strictly a take-out affair and they also sell frozen and fresh seafood. Decided to head somewhere else for lunch and do some errands before swinging by and picking up crab for dinner. Got 1 container of the blue crab for me and 1 container of the snow crab for the kids. The styrofoam containers were packed full of crab which the gentleman behind the counter had drizzled with butter and garlic and old bay (he gave us instructions on how to quickly warm them up in the microwave, or he could have done it for us if we were going to eat them right away). The snow crab clusters had large meaty legs which the kids thoroughly enjoyed, and there were so many blue crabs in my box, it took me forever to break them down. Simply delicious. Wish it was a sit down restaurant and the location was a little off the beaten path (it's in a strip mall of sorts but it's really tucked away) but we'll be back again to get some more crab in the future. read more
