Anastasia Kitchen offers up the best breakfast skillet located in a small cozy cafe! The eggs and potatoes were cooked to perfection. The service was friendly. Next time we visit Saint Augustine, this will definitely be a brunch spot we hit up again. We went on a weekday morning and were seated immediately. There are only 5 tables, of which 2 of them are for parties of 2. Several groups had to wait outside for 15-20 minutes to be seated. Keep this in mind if you are on a time crunch. read more

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!! The service was so family oriented, the owner walked to the tables and struck up a conversation. It was so refreshing!! Keep it coming, it's what the world needs. Food was yummy, came out quick. Prices stellar Cash only (my kind of place) I hate using debit cards....inside felt like a home. I had an order of 2 Pancakes, side of homefries, 1 coffee, 1 chocolate milk $19.44 total. Can't beat it. We'll be back! read more

Can't stress this enough "Cash Only Business". Now that I've gotten that out of the way....... Sheila's Cafe at Anastasia Kitchen is a very quaint space with some outdoor seating. There is very little ventilation so be mindful of this if sitting inside. The waitress you keep reading about in previous reviews is filled with the southern charm and hospitality that you expect. Super friendly!! Now, the breakfast.....my eggs were cooked to perfection and the home fries (potatoes) also, very good! read more

What a great little place. It is small and cute. Good home cooked style food with generous portions at a fair price. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the food was great. We went in Saturday morning since it was close to our Airbnb and went back again in Sunday because we enjoyed it so much the first time. read more

This has to be the sweetest spot for a pure Floridian charm! Very quaint, perfect for the loving couple or taking a first date! The food is super breakfastee ( my word ) lol limited seating inside and out. read more

Candace did an amazing job with the recommendations. Her service was attentive and excellent. From our biscuits and gravy to our French toast, it felt like we were eating at our grandmother's house. Lovely quaint place with perfect outside "porch" sitting. Definitely a revisit! read more

We visited Anastasia Kitchen last week and it was a lovely experience. The dining area is small, but very cozy. The waitress (I forget her name unfortunately) was very friendly and courteous. She took the time to make small talk with everyone in the dining room, and treated us all like she had known us for years. The breakfast was amazing. Generous portions, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. I really enjoyed our visit, and will make sure to stop for breakfast whenever I am in St. Augustine. Highly recommended. read more

The sweeeeeeeeetest, Southern waitresses & cooks! What I truly loved (& will return for): -the quality of food you get for the price (prices are reminiscent of 2005) -decor is very colloquial -"hole-in-the-wall" vibe -specials offered daily -they handmake the strawberry jam ( D E L I C I O U S & simple) *There is extra parking around back. *BRING CASH!!!!! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Disappointed I did. The service was a tad slow . Server did not come by me after initial order until I was 95% done. Simple order of eggs and toast and some biscuits and gravy. The bad. By far the worst sausage gravy I've had in my 63 yrs on this 3rd rock from the sun. God awful. The good. The eggs were cooked right. read more

Amazing small place. There's a reason she's been in business for 20+ years. A gem of a find. The food was delicious for as simple as a traditional plate it was. The Mrs. ordered the French Toast sandwich and was a hit. The owner, Nicole, and staff were super friendly and made you feel at home. Always checking on us which confirms their care for the customer. A small place with little seating inside and outside but that's what this place is about. We will visit this place over any great chain biz. Menu items are common and not multiple page worth but again, that's what this place is about. Allows them to focus on fresh, scratch cooking. And yes, the home potatoes we're delish!! Considering her chef nailed our two choices, I know she can rock everything else. A must visit. read more

Friendly, fast and delicious food. I love a small, cafe with charm and good food. My wife and I stopped in here after reading other reviews online. We were quickly greeted and offered our choice of inside or outside seating. It is small and space limited, but when we arrived late morning there was plenty of room. I had the breakfast burrito with home fries. They were both great, but the best part was the delicious, fresh pico de gallo. It was the perfect addition to the burrito. Be sure to stop in here for breakfast. read more

Waitress extra nice. Good home cooked food. We enjoyed everything. Too bad we are leaving for home tomorrow!

Absolutely wonderful, there was four adults and one toddler in from out of town. Small dinning room but they make it work nicely. The food was down home fresh and hot when it hit the table. All the employees were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend to anyone in town, just plan on a wait as they only have about 7 tables inside. Only recommendation I would have is add a few outdoor heaters and a roll down/up plastic window wall and you could get a few more tables on the outside for the cooler days...share that cooking with others! Will definitely be back! read more

WOW what a great spot. I had a breakfast burrito and it was great. Service was excellent and the outdoor seating was great. Very nice spot.

Every trip I take to St. Augustine, I have to visit Sheila's. It's non-negotiable. I have not had a bad meal here yet - pancakes and quiche (they have different flavors depending on what they make that day) are my usual order, but the regular breakfasts and the burrito are also good. It's a small place, and you may have to wait outside for a table, but you won't be disappointed. read more

Anastasia Kitchen - Chocolate chip pancakes - Diners Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Horrible experience!!!! I'm visiting St. Augustine with my family. We come to this restaurant and were met outside before we could reach the door. She tells us it's a 20 min wait (no problem). We waited over 30 min to be seated (no problem). When we were finally seated, we began looking at the menu and see at the very bottom of the menu that they only take cash. Not taking debit cards is not customary in this day and age so it would look like this establishment would make it a priority to inform their patrons of this up front. It was beyond frustrating having to wait outside for over 30 min just to find out we cannot eat there and the waitresses not caring that they just totally inconvenienced you. We could have used that waiting time to get money from an ATM. read more

They didn't tell us it was cash only after we ate, we couldn't pay with card. very bad service

Anastasia Kitchen was an inexpensive, quality breakfast in a prime spot on Anastasia Island. My fiance and I were headed to the St. Augustine Lighthouse Thursday morning and wanted a quick breakfast. Anastasia Kitchen had good reviews and seemed as good as any. We arrived to an empty parking lot and a completely empty restaurant. No diners this week day morning. Even though majority of places are allowing dine-in now, Anastasia Kitchen was only doing outdoor seating. We sat at one of the picnic tables and the Florida humidity got us before our drinks even arrived. Our waitress maintained distance and it was the weirdest dining experience we had our entire trip in St. Augustine but she was nice and personable. Our food was out quick and was really good. I ordered the Pork loin eggs benedict and my fiance ordered a traditional eggs, bacon and toast breakfast. The benedict was smothered in a tasty, zingy Hollandaise sauce with a thin slice of pork resting under the poached eggs that were slightly runny as they should be. The side of home fries were not fried but more of potato chunks that had a good flavor to them as well. My fiance's traditional breakfast was good she said and unlike other places that charge $3 extra for bacon, her breakfast was $7 with it included. The food was tasty and filling and the service was good. I'm sure they had their own reasons as to why they only offered outside seating but sweating uncomfortably for breakfast was the main thing I remember from this visit. Also, they are cash only, so make sure you have that handy. read more

Stopped here on our way out of St. Augustine, after stopping at another diner that was too full for us. Were we blown away! Breakfast was actually one of the bests I've ever had, I wish we weren't 4 hours away. I got Biscuits & Gravy, bf got their special Breakfast Skillet. The home fries are too die for . Please give this spot a try on your way to St Augustine, super inexpensive, delicious food with great service! One downside is please note it is cash only, but trust it is worth it. Everything was 10/10!!!!!! read more

Delicious place for a home cooked breakfast. Service was amazing. Rachael was super sweet. We actually came here after attempting to go To Anastasia Kitchen. They had one person cooking and it wouldn't been over an hour before we could eat. I'm sure it's well with the wait but we didn't have the time to spare. So we were very happy we ended up here. read more

This one was difficult. The all female staff were all so very nice and welcoming. The location was very small with some seating outdoors, though the open kitchen made you feel like you were at a member of the family's old wooden home, You would never have guessed you were sitting in a retail plaza. We were seated promptly, the food was excellent, and the service was great! The negative was this... we waited... and waited.... and waited for our order to be taken. The table next to us had received their food and nearly finished before or order was even taken. It was enough that, had we not been so hungry... we would have left. The two tables next to us had said that they had waited a while as well. So, while this would have easily been five stars, the initial long wait was excessive. Perhaps this was a fluke. If in the area again, we would definitely try again. What would I suggest? Notify customers up front that you do not accept credit cards. Find where the problem is with not taking an order for 30 minutes, and in the meantime, keep letting your customer know that you apologize for the wait and you will be right with them. Maybe even set down some biscuits and butter while they wait. This two things would have done wonders! read more

Let me first off, say that I read reviews, but I don't often write reviews. This was just too good to be true. We just had one of the best breakfast of our lives. Truly awesome and Erica was fantastic server as well.

Fantastic home cooking. Fresh and hot served right off the grill. Super friendly staff. Nothing fancy but totally worth stopping by. Bring cash. read more

Always amazing good and great service. Always a must when ever I visit Anastasia island.

My husband and I stopped in after reading positive reviews on Yelp. The waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. My husband ordered the Sheila's Skillet Special after recommendation from the waitress and it was absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and a perfect portion size. I ordered the 2 strips bacon, 2 sausage 2 egg and 2 chocolate chip pancakes. All of it was so yummy. The coffee was great too. Also, the price was fantastic. As the place started to get busy we were still taken care of well. We will definitely be back here next time we visit St. Augustine! read more

This is a great little cute, cozy diner that we stumbled upon in our weekend getaway to St. Augustine Beach. The waitress and owner (cook) were super friendly. The food was great, super fresh and delicious. I wouldn't think twice about not coming back if we visited the area again! My husband and I had the Sara's Skillet and it was a good portion of food and awesome. My daughter had a chocolate chip pancake which she devoured (and she normally doesn't eat all her pancakes at other breakfast spots we go to). We didn't know they only took cash only but luckily my husband had cash on hand. But don't let that deter you, it was a great spot. We walked in minutes to their closing time and were still accommodated which was a read more

The food was delicious! It felt like a home made meal. This is a hole in the wall restaurant that tastes fresh. The restaurant cannot handle large groups! There is no seating for large groups. We felt bad because we had a group of 11, but they did their best to accommodate us. read more

Although this place doesn't have a large seating capacity. This place is amazing. It seems like every breakfast our small group had was over the top. When traveling I often use Yelp to see what good local restaurants are near me. This place had great reviews already and it didn't disappoint. Nice friendly staff and even the chefs had time to talk to us. read more

I really, really hate to rate a tiny establishment so poorly, but the experience here pretty much ruined my morning. I will say, I thought the food was good. But, they were clearly in the weeds and then some. I wish they would have just turned us away! They told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait. It ended up being at least forty minutes. Then; it took quite a while to get food as well. Coffee and water refills were non existent; until we asked about them. The outdoor table we sat at was filthy. We wiped it down with a sanitizing wipe and it was brown! All in all, we spent two hours here! Ate up our whole morning, when we should have been sightseeing. If you have plenty of time, or nobody else is there.. go for it. But, if you like getting in and out in a reasonable 45 mins.. this is not the place for you. If nobody else is there read more

We just enjoyed the BEST breakfast here. Truly delicious, great service, the best prices of our whole vacation, and a datil sauce that had me drooling. Place is teeny tiny, with a few tables on the front sidewalk. We choose to eat outside, and the shade kept us cool enough. Menu is basic diner food with a few standouts. I tried the quiche...so good!!! The breakfast potatoes on the side were delish. My buddy tried their unique take on huevos rancheros and loved it. The meal was made by their homemade datil sauce. It had a great spicy kick, tons of flavor, and is made in house. Apparently they don't have it every day, just when the chef makes it. If they have extra they will sell it by the jar, but we weren't lucky enough to bring any home. I am not kidding when I say I'll be back just for the datil! Cash only. read more

"Amazing"? "Quality"? We went here because of the reviews, but we wouldn't go back. Don't get me wrong, the food was okay, but nothing as spectacular as the reviews would have you think. I had the breakfast bowl and thankfully asked for the salsa on the side. It looked like jarred salsa, and the rest of the dish was simple...not bad, but not outstanding. Our server was quite attentive, but remember THEY DON'T TAKE CREDIT CARDS. I agree with others that they should have signs up notifying you immediately and not just a small note on the menu. If you're looking for a simple Breakfast, this works. If you're looking for something a little more unique and special, you may want to consider somewhere else. read more

IT IS CASH ONLY SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BILLS. Stopped by the kitchen on our search for a breakfast place that didn't have an hour wait and crawling with tourists. The place is super small so if you have a super large party, I'd call ahead. The pancakes are awesome! We had the chocolate chip but the blueberry and regular looked great as well. Eggs were cooked well (ordered over-medium) and the sausage and bacon were excellent. The sausage even had a nice crisp without being burnt so kudos to the cook! Home fries were good too. Our server was awesome and put in a good word to the kitchen to make a substitution by adding chocolate chips to the pancakes that came with "the special". Kept the coffee flowing and checked in on us as well. Overall, a nice breakfast. I'll be sure to send friends here and stop in myself again. Hope this place gets to expand! read more
