Beautiful restaurant, good service, and delicious food. We were a party of 6. One was a child. 3 of the 6 people are residents of St. Augustine and recommended this place. The only thing I can complain about is we were seated at a dirty table. That issue was taken care of quickly and the rest of our visit was enjoyable. We all met here at 4:30 to avoid the dinner rush and long wait time. We were seated immediately upon arrival. On our way out around 6 o'clock people were on a 45 minute wait list. Now about the food. It was outstanding. Generous portions too. I ordered shrimp and grits. But I got to taste something from everyone's plate and we were all happy. Not one complaint. The shellfish pasta was a little spicy. But we love spicy foods. The NY Strip steak was cooked perfectly and was juicy. The bread basket had 3 different types. Corn bread, Johnny cakes, and pumpkin bread(which the child in our party loved it!). I highly recommend this place. read more

We ordered the Seafood Platter $35.99 to share. I also ordered a Mango Margarita $12.00. The platter had 3 of scallops,4 shrimp, a flat crab cake, a piece of fish,and a side of coleslaw. We also ordered another side,collard greens. The margarita had no flavor. Unfortunately the food was the same,no flavor. The portion sizes were very Small. There was a bread basket, not bad. Food very bland. The whole experience was bland. We will not go back. The waitress was the best part of meal. She was nice and knew her product. read more

Camping at Northbeach which was not as good as expected. We visited Kate's twice and was not disappointed! Food was excellent and service was good. read more

Great food, great view, and great service! A five star for sure! If you are ever in St Augustine, you gotta stop by

Service was terrible. Server brought our drinks and took our order. Seafood, which was brought out by another server, was room temp, must have been sitting in the kitchen for a while. Didn't see our server again. Had to ask someone to have our server bring the check. Was here for over 2 hours. Do not recommend. Go somewhere else for seafood. read more

Fast and friendly service. The portions were good. Food was tasty. My grandkids loved the BBQ ribs.

Great location , casual vibe, right on the water and dog friendly. Great selection, seafood prominent but there's meat options too

Oysters were very good along with the cheese grits! Nice view of the river! Friendly wait staff

Had great food here and such a cool location, definitely worth the trip. Have diverse menu but with all the classic Florida coast must haves. read more

We have been to Aunt Kate's every time that we've come to St Augustine. They never disappoint. The complimentary bread basket has 3 different varieties of breads. The gator appetizer was tender and tasty. Both our entrees were delicious. Our server was sweet and attentive. Sitting out on the deck is always delightful. The boats and wildlife keep us entertained. We always look forward to our visit to Aunt Kate's . read more

Yummy food and nice atmosphere. Good size portions and service was very fast. Good spot for families.

The St. Augustine Style shrimp is pretty good. A little expensive at $25 but it's 12 shrimps and 2 sides so you will be satisfied. This is a great place to sit outside and enjoy the water. It's also convenient after a morning of fishing from the Usina boat ramp. Lots of history on display here. An old Florida experience. read more

The food was good... but if you are from the VA/MD area the crabcakes aren't for us. 80% filler with very little crab meat and lots of peppers & onions. Our server was more interested in her younger tables than us retirees read more

Food was really good and fresh. This was a take-out order. However, staff didn't seem to be a happy lot.

We really like Aunt Kate's and we've been here more than my check-in count reflects. It seems to have made our "go-to" list when we can't think of any place else we want to go to or try. We know we are going to get a good meal & good service at Aunt Kate's. So who knows why I haven't written a review before now! But here it goes... They have a little something for everyone and everything we have gotten here is good. We personally like to do light bites/appetizers or sandwiches here. The views are amazing whether you sit inside or out. If you sit inside, the air is always cool and relaxing. If you sit outside, there seems to always be a breeze of some sort and it puts you closer to the water and great view...and if you're lucky, you can witness a fisherman or two bringing in a catch. If you want a bit of a kick...try their Datil sauce. I'm admittedly addicted to sweet tea and they do it right here!!! Oh yeah!!! Plus, I want to point out that although they are close to the water, they do have straws...buuuttttt, they are biodegradable. Woot!!! The service has always been really good and they are super friendly. My 2 cents: If there is only one, just one thing I'd change and/or add...it would be to the gator tail. They only offer it fried and I really, really wish they'd offer it blackened (hint-hint). Extra notes: The parking lot is ample, it's a great place for groups (inside or out) and it's a good place to have a meal and relax away from the typical tourist places. They offer a uniformed and/or veteran discount with proof of ID...thank you very much for this! End note: There have been times here when I would have rated this place a 2, 3 or 4 and I am sure it may happen again. Stuff happens! But the good experiences outweigh the indifferent ones and they are closer to a 5-star than a 4...more like a 4 ¾! Besides...obviously something keeps us coming back! I'd probably go back more if they had blackened gator tail (hint-hint). (I've posted 31 photos to date. Depending on where you read this, the photo number is different. Sorry, don't know what that is!) read more

After being turned away by another place, we chose Aunt Kate's for our first dinner in St Augustine. We were not disappointed. I enjoyed a great margarita and the Mr and our traveling companions had beers, while we waited on the deck for a table. The pretty view and the live music kept us busy and before you knew it, we were seated inside. The Mr. ordered fish tacos, S had a chicken pita, M ordered a flounder sandwich, and I had some delicious crab cakes and onion rings. Those crab cakes may have been my favorite meal of the entire trip. Aunt Kate's set the bar high for all of our future St. Augustine dining experiences. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34599-d1447325-r756901445-Aunt_Kate_s-St_Augustine_Florida.html# read more

We're staying at North Beach Campground which is right next door to Aunt Kate's. This is our 2nd time here. I like this place for its laid back atmosphere, great views, and the food is good too. The staff is all young, but very energetic and friendly. My wife had the blackened scallops with Mac n cheese. The scallops were perfect and the seasoning was nice, but maybe a bit mild for my tastes. (The wife loved them). The Mac n cheese was ok. I had the shrimp and grits. Now, shrimp and grits can come a thousand different ways, and theirs is different than most I've had before. The sauce was more of a brown gravy than I'm used to. The grits were on point. Lots of bacon on top. It was very rich and,IMO, pretty tasty. The portion was huge and probably enough for 2 people...there were more than a dozen shrimp. Don't forget to try the breads...very tasty. We will be back whenever we are in town. read more

Aunt Kate's was recommended to us by a trolley driver (Philly Jim). We LOVED it! Andrew was our server and although he wore a Gators hate he was amazing!! The food was to die for and service was out of the world. The outdoor seating was incredible. Will definitely come back to Aunt Kate's the next time we are in town. read more

I have done a review here before, and doing it again was a pleasure!! We came in in the boat! It wasn't busy so that was fine with us! We got a nice cold beer to start with, which they have a good selection of. We got the wonderful bread basket that comes with three different breads. Pumpkin, corn bread and I wasn't familiar with the other. All were moist and tasty! We ordered coconut shrimp for an appetizer. Lightly breaded and and tasty. The sauce that accompanied it was perfect. Our entrees came quickly and on point. I had the fish tacos that were outstanding!! Three of them with delicious grilled fish. I was absolutely full afterwards! This is one of my go tos on the water that never lets you down. The wait staff is really good other than the kids at the front on their cell phone but other than that it's a winner! read more

Really enjoyed our lunch at this seafood joint right on the water! I had the blackened grouper sandwich which was cooked nicely and had a good level of spice and a tasty tartar sauce on the side. I ordered a side of fries and a spiked lemonade drink, I think it was Dave's lemonade? My husband had the blackened grouper tacos which he said were solid and a nice sized lunch dish, he also had fries on the side. We also ordered the smoked fish dip as an appetizer. The waitress was friendly and attentive, bathrooms were clean, food arrived quickly and as ordered & we left stuffed! Would definitely go back next time we are in the area. Enjoy! read more

Nice location. Probably beautiful in good weather. Food is plentiful. Service was good. Prices were good also read more

A nice restaurant on the Bay. Friendly service and good food. A little pricey, but comparable to other restaurants in the area. The bread basket was a nice change of pace. It included cornbread, rolls, pumpkin, and banana bread if I remember correctly. We also took advantage of the little fishing pier outside of the restaurant. I would recommend this establishment to friends and family. read more

I don't usually post reviews but the experience here was horrendous and I had to warn others. We were visiting on vacation and opted to come here as they had an open patio and was tagged as pet friendly and we had two puppers with us. The host guy who greeted us had informed us that due to rain earlier the outdoor patio was closed and if we wanted to eat there we would either have to order Togo or leave our dogs in the car!!!! Who does that?!? Never ever tell people to leave their pets in the car. What's wrong with you? I will never go back there. Please educate your servers or hostess to never instruct people to leave their pets in the car. We ended up at the reef and the hostess there was more than happy to clean an outdoor table for us so that we could dine with our pups. read more

Fried shrimp is soooo good!!! Highly recommend. Fried green tomatoes are a classic too. We went back a few times on our vacation it was that good!! read more

Indoor and outdoor seating, right on the water with a great sunset view. Decent sized parking area, but it does fill up at dinner time. It's gets pretty busy with a long wait, but you can order drinks and hang out on the pier while you wait. read more

Aunt Kate's - Deck/beach area - American Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

This is a wonderful restaurant that is tucked away in Saint Augustine near the river. It is a cute little mom and pop, local eatery. It has some unique food, but mostly American type of food. I had the shrimp basket and it was delicious. Others in my group had the chicken tenders basket. The fish bites basket and we shared coconut, shrimp, and fried mushrooms as appetizers. The staff was super awesome and helpful. It has beautiful views from the pier and you can eat inside or out. Definitely a place we will be eating at frequently when we stop to visit in Saint Augustine. read more

Wonderful food with great service. We enjoyed being seated outside and overlooking the river. Highly recommend.

Didn't honk it was possible to outdo shrimp from the Shrimp served up in Mayport - but the grilled shrimp here were AMAZING.. Grilled scallops we're like Buttah.. yum. I had Cheese Grit and Sweet Potato casserole sides - and was in bliss. That said, we had a 40 minute wait for a table and another 30 for our dinner to hit the table. Our server Amelia was great - and plied us with their incredible bread basket to stave off hunger. Labor shortage sucks. Tip to management - put one gluten free item into bread basket and add a gluten free appetizer option.. All aside - go to Aunt Kate's and enjoy! read more

The Mahi Sandwich immaculate. I very rarely go to seafood restaurants but today when you get a chance to go to a place like Aunt Kate's, it's hard to pass up. I ordered the grilled Mahi and I think that might be the best way to order it. It was grilled and seasoned perfectly and the lettuce, tomato, and pickle complemented the sandwich very well. The fires were also crispy and seasoned to perfection. The only knock on this place was it took a while for the food to come out but I won't hold that against them too much. I was with a very large party so that probably isn't the case for smaller parties. Also ordered the fried calamari and that was a perfect appetizer. Very tender and the sauce that came with it was great as well. Oh and how could I forget the bread that came with our meal. Very unique but the pumpkin bread was easily my favorite. You never see pumpkin bread served at a restaurant. Definitely come here if you are in St. Augustine. read more

After a great inshore fishing trip with Misstress fishing charters we were guided to Aunt Kate's as being a great place that would cook our catch. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in the door. We opted to sit outdoors and enjoy the warm weather with water view. Our server was quick to take our drink and food order and bring us a nice basket of fresh bread to snack on. The three bread options was a spicy corn bread that was tender and not too spicy, a pumpkin bread that was moist and yummy and a Jack bread that was sweet and delicious. Our catch was cooked to our liking and we chose blackened and deep fried. The cost to cook our catch was 14.99 a person that included a drink, two sides and the cooking of our fresh fish. The breading on the fried fish was perfectly cooked and the blackened fish was cooked perfectly as well. The home made lemonade hit the spot and key lime pie dessert was a tasty delight. The menu was full of great choices and the service was great. I don't think you can go wrong with Aunt Kate's. read more

Located on the waterway, this spot was erected on the former location of Oscar's. The old Oscar's burned and this was built and is run by the same family. Enjoyed the Calamari as an appetizer and they have a small but nice variety of draft beers. I chose the Snowbird salad with Grilled Shrimp, meaning salad comes with 6 grilled shrimp on top. Shrimp were nicely cooked and quite tasty, nice addition to the salad. As our server indicated, the salad is a bit on the sweet side, raisins, apples, with some feta and the dressing is on the sweet side, but I was good with that! Staff was great and the location is lovely, right on the water and plenty of outside seating for pleasant evenings. Very nice spot for dinner! read more

Enjoyed eating on the deck with wife and friend. Cameron our waiter took very good care of us. The breads were delicious. The various meals were great. The mussels done properly and the blackened shrimp just tangy enough. Wife had scallops which were perfect. Dessert was key lime pie and cheesecake. Great way to end the meal read more

We love coming here whenever we are in St. Augustine! It's right on the water and the view from the deck is so pretty! It's nice and cool because it's near the water and the service is really nice. They give you a complimentary bread basket with all different types of bread. My favorite was the pumpkin bread. I really like their fish tacos and I order that whenever I come. They were all out of sweet potato casserole when we were there so I got sweet potato fries and they were very delicious. I think they put like cinnamon or sugar on them because they had some sort of seasoning like that. The side of Mac and cheese is really good as well. Overall this place is really nice and always reminds me of having dinner with my family whenever we come to St. Augustine. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area. read more

Food was not great. I had shrimp and grits. Not only was it hard to look at but it tasted like S$G out of a can, Gooey, little flavor, and very heavy. the plus was the 7 shrimp in the plate were fresh and good (by themselves) My wife had mahi / reuben. Fish wasn't fresh at all and the bread was soaked in butter. We both had a beer. With a $12 tip the bill came to $70. Wasn't happy and would not recommend. read more

Absolutely amazing food and superb service. Great casual atmosphere and quick service. And the location is good for viewing waterfront activities. read more
