Beachcomber Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Fun restaurant right by the beach! Food was delicious and very dog friendly. They provided a water dish for our pup and they have two items on the kids menu for pups. Service was fast and friendly. We had the bohemian fish, angry crab sandwich, classic burger, and rum cake. All dishes were very well seasoned and yum. read more

If I could give zero stars. I would. Let's start with parking, there is none. The parking attendant waves a finger in a general direction of the smallest parking lot known to man kind. He never leaves his seat. He only waves a finger. Then, we go to the bar, the mixed drink was good but the beer on tap was not cold. We get seated and are tortured by gnats and flies. We get the appetizer and order the food and one more drink and are still fighting off gnats like our life depends on it. We decide to cancel our food order and just pay for the appetizer. Our waitress says it is almost ready they will box it up. We say okay, we pay, and 15 minutes later, still no food. We are still being ate alive by the gnats and flies so we dropped $86 with a tip and left without our food. We will never be back. Update: we went to Sunset Grille & had the best food and the staff was amazing! Hands down, go to Sunset Grille, not the Beachcomber SH*Thole :) read more

We are local to st Aug, I loved this restaurant the first few times I've been here but this time was absolutely terrible. We ordered a pound of shrimp and it was uncooked. I ate a few and now I'm afraid I'm gonna get sick. Additionally, we sent them back and they cooked the ones we didn't eat which is kinda disrespectful because they should've given us a new pound since it was their mistake in the first place. It didn't even seem like a full pound anyways, we should've brought a damn scale. I understand they are busy but our server should've been more accommodating and nice to us rather than hyper-fixating on id-ing us twice after we had already gotten one round of drinks. We are disappointed. read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - Cocktail Sauce - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

went with friends to the Beachcomber on St Augustine Beach for the first time. The atmosphere's is cozy beach with its of outdoor tables and a smallish inside area decorated in typical beach style. Three of us had tacos (two had shrimp and I had fish) and all three were tasty and perfectly cooked. The tacos come with a side and two had potato salad and I had a nice, creamy coleslaw. The other person ordered a hamburger which he said was a good nice sized burger and he ordered a good chunky manhattan style clam chowder. Everyone's food was very good and we'd all return again if we wanted to eat on the beach. HOWEVER, please be aware that the parking lot is minuscule and they had a parking attendant to guide you into a tight parking space. and the parking spaces would have been almost impossible to exit if the attendant wasn't there to help guide you out. even then it was a hassle. this dropped my rating from 4 stars to 3. read more

So glad I found this gem! We enjoyed a lovely Lunch on the outside patio at Beachcomber today. We instantly got lucky and scored a FREE parking space and was told it was a 15 minute wait. It ended up only being 5-10 which was great. Sat down and ordered and the food was delivered quickly and hot!! My husband had the spicy minorcan clam Chowder and I had the Anastasia style grilled fish. Both were delicious. Our boys ordered off of the kids menu and were satisfied by the portions. Our server Becky was the icing on the cake! Great service, great food. Totally worth stopping by. read more

Laid back, cool place located on the beach. Both indoor and outdoor seating, we chose to dine outdoors. The staff is friendly and our waitress was attentive and checked on us often. Our orders started with Minorcan Clam Chowder - chunky and just spicy enough and so delicious! The Sicilian Calamari was lightly breaded and tender. Loved the pop of pickled banana peppers mixed in with a parmesan topping. The mains of Chicken Tacos which was today's special , juicy and tender chicken, and vegetable medley was perfectly seasoned and tender, yet crisp. The Swordfish sandwich did not disappoint with the meaty texture and blackening seasoning. The Dill Potato Salad was solid in its pickly, savory flavor. What a great experience between the relaxed outdoor atmosphere and really good food. These people know what they're doing. Can't wait to return! read more

Wow. A short line for an outside table at 330 pm on a Thursday so we figured we stumbled onto a good spot. My wife had the crab ravioli and although the portion looked small it was rich and very filling. I had the tuna app and we shared a crab cake app. All very good. Service was superb and never had to go looking for a server. And the best part... it's on the ocean but because of the dunes you don't really see it but it's great for a post meal walks. Love the food and the beach vibe ! We will be back. read more

Been going to St Augustine for years and never tried this place, until last week. Wonderful experience with incredible service. I got the grilled fish nachos, probably the best meal I had the whole vacation., just needed queso instead of shredded cheese, but it was still amazing. Highly recommend! read more

I cannot recommend this place. Good Food, nice atmosphere. Service was not so good. We were served our food with no utensils or napkins. After we asked, it was quite a wait and our food cooled a lot. Ordered a second beer that never came. Would definitely not come back again. read more

Kayley the bartender and personality plus made our stay the best. Stumbled on this beach bar and cafe. Just got lucky. Clean, new, fresh food, great drinks. Good Service. Lots of outside seating. Chilling inside with the A/C but still feel like I'm at the beach. Ok I am from the west coast of Florida and this is the best fried grouperI've ever had. Tastes exactly like we picked it up fresh, dipped it in cornmeal and deep fried in backyard. I am so coming back here. Great spot!!!! read more

Excellent service! Great location!! Sat outside facing the sand dunes. Very dog friendly! They have water bowls and handy water to bring out for them. Fast, knowledgeable service. Shrimp dinner was excellent. Very flavorful breading - a slight amount of heat, possibly, but not much. Both the tarter and cocktail sauce were excellent. I had the cheese grits as a side - also excellent! A good amount of cheesy goodness with a bit of a kick, too - not too much, just noticeable after about half a bowl... Awesome side salad! - no iceberg - fresh spring mix type lettuce, onions, Pepperoncinis, diced tomatoes, etc. good blue cheese dressing. The fish of the day Rueben was excellent! Very much upgraded over a typical fish Ruebens in the past. The veggie side was excellent - perfect done and seasoned nicely. read more

What a GEM find. Came upon Beachcomber driving A1A. Parking is crazy but you may luck out by the restaurant. Lots of 4x4 enter the beach here so you may have to drive around them. Food counch fritters were excellent. Buttermilk ceaser salad with shrimp is large and very good. Trigger fish sandwich special was also very good. Great full service bar. Service was very good and friendly. Place was busy be prepared to wait for a table. Outdoor seating and some limited inside seating plus bar. Highly recommended read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - Margaritas. - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Parking is quite sparse for starters. The ambiance is what you would expect from a beach restaurant, it was fine, we sat outside and other than the gnats and flies, it was to be expected. All of the entrees and appetizers were mediocre at best. Luke warm and small portions for $20-$30 per item is a bit disappointing. And lastly, although our server was very nice, you could tell he was very overwhelmed and spread thin so once our food was served we didn't see him for quite a while and we were beyond ready for our check. read more

Our group was down for the Florida Georgia game and discovered this fun spot by the beach that is dog friendly! The food & service were excellent! I had the chowder which is tomato based with ample amount of seafood and very flavorful. The fish sandwich which 3 of our group had was Trigger fish and was cooked perfectly whether it was blackened or grilled. All other entrees were tasty! If in the St. Augustine area I would highly recommend checking this place out! Thanks for a fun experience! read more

This cute, unassuming place has good food!! Very clean, and doggo friendly.there are even doggie options on the kid's menu.It's right on the beach. Our server was great, friendly while still being a great waitress. We.had the conch fritters and gator bites. I was sure the gator bites were going to be overcooked, but they were perfect served with a kind of duck sauce. The conch fritters were also good, served with a spicy datil remoulade. Hubby had the shrimp and grits, which were spicier than expected but he enjoyed it. I had the poke bowl, which I enjoyed very much. Cool and refreshing, asking for the spicy mayo on the side was the way to go for me personally. Will definitely go back and try their drinks too next time. read more

This is what you want in a beachside bar and restaurant. Good food. Boat drinks and a decent beer list. Good prices. Savvy servers. The smell of salt air. Abundant outdoor seating. Kitschy decor. Yup, all the boxes checked. Grouper fingers, triggerfish sandwich, mai tai. All in order. read more

The Beachcomber is very, very casual restaurant adjacent to the sand dunes on Ave A St. in St Augustine, FL. A number of the picnic benches are set right on the sand. We sat outside on a wooden deck. The outside was renovated in February, but in the rustic side. I didn't check the inside, because 9/5/2025 was a perfect weather day and evening. The hostess was a delight, and we were seated in no time. Our waitress Hannah took our drink orders...a Tito's and Chardonnay. There were very reasonable at 4:45PM. We both ordered the Fish Sandwiches, which were delicious. We loved the Minorcan Chowder. It was very spicy, so it may not be a hit for everyone. Hope you can find a parking spot, which is always a concern. read more

We absolutely loved this place. Get there early as it's not too big as it literally combs the beach at the end of A Street. The coconut shrimp were very tasty. read more

Honestly, I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately did not. My husband and I come to St. Augustine every year for the holiday and decided to try something new. We wanted to take a walk on the beach back to the hotel after, so thought it would be perfect for dinner. We stopped in on a Friday and got in at the right time. We had minimal people in front of us, but were told an hour. We decided to wait it out and head to the bar for a drink. We sat at the bar and my husband ordered a Coor's light and I ordered a Shirley temple. The bartender was super nice and friendly, but you can tell she was busy! I quickly slurped down my Shirley Temple and my husband sipped his beer. Not within 20 minutes did we receive a text that out table was ready. We closed out and headed to the hostess stand. By the time we did, we saw that the wait-list had definitely extended as many people were waiting. We sat down near the entrance and looked at the menus. It took well over 20 minutes for the waitress to even greet us, but we gave her the benefit of the doubt as she was busy. We finally ordered and since we had drinks at the bar decided to stick with water. We ordered the chips and guacamole reluctantly as it was $14. We thought this was a little steep, but had a taste for it so bit the bullet. Honestly, it wasn't anything special and we probably won't be ordering that again. We waited another 20 minutes for our waitress to return to take our order. Again, benefit of the doubt - we were fine but 20 minutes was awhile. I ordered the baha shrimp tacos and they were dry and gross. I was hungry but did not finish them. My husband ordered a burger and said it was eh, too. When finished with our food, we were just ready to take off. We literally did not see our waitress for quite some time. We asked that she just close us out ASAP so we could head back, but it took quite a while. Honestly, we probably won't be back but glad we tried it out to figure that out. read more

Truly a 4.5. everyone's food was good and they had a great and unique beer selection. I absolutely love being able to eat with my toes in the sand. It oozes beach vibe. The parking can be challenging, but, we had a gentleman help us navigate our Chevy Silverado. I suggest lunch time. My shrimp and grits were average. Not bad, just a little luke warm and could have used some heat, salt, and texture. It's hard to describe. But truly not bad. My husband absolutely loved his fish Reuben though!!! read more

Quick service and the food was very good. Our server was very friendly and responsive. Would definitely go back.

I am the restaurant right now, and the food looks good, but the service is subpar. Our server, I believe his name was Russ, was not treating my table of foreign family members with the same amount of courtesy and urgency as other tables. When we asked about something on the menu, he told us to look it up on our phones. When I asked host to change our server, our server all of a sudden changed his attitude. I believe that they talked to him instead of changing our server. read more

Every bit of our experience here was off the charts-if we lived in the area, we'd be here all the time. We had the fish of the day-triggerfish-both stuffed and fried, the fried shrimp, alligator, and crab cakes, all were very, very good. The coating on the fried fish and shrimp is well seasoned, things were crispy without being overcooked, and the remoulade that comes with the crab cakes...yum!! The drink menu is well done, and my drink was balanced and delicious. The manager was a delight, our server was friendly and personable, and the location is superb. They have indoor seating but highly recommend sitting outside of the weather allows. read more

The other reviews on this site do not do this restaurant justice. The food here is exemplary quality for a beachside restaurant - which is, make no mistake, the main draw. Sea breeze and ocean mist drift freely through the air, making this a top-tier place to stop for food in St Augustine if you are of the beach-going persuasion. Service was smiley and decidedly southern. The fish was fresh-tasting and of a higher quality than most beachside restaurants I've been to. Overall, highly recommended by me - make sure to get the fried shrimp, it did not disappoint! read more

Casual, nice place for solid food. We decided on it while in St. Aug for a weekend. My fish and chips were excellent and I appreciated the recommendation on fish from the server. The place was busy the entirety of the time we were eating so obviously they're doing something right. Would recommend if you find yourself in the area. read more

A great alternative to the crowded restaurants in St. Augustine if you are looking for good seafood and a beachside atmosphere. Choose to sit outside for a true beach experience (they have some tables placed on sand) or inside if you feel like the humidity would ruin your hair or your mood. Since we were in a great mood and couldn't care less about the frizziness in our hair, we picked a table outside and loved the experience. We both ordered the blackened swordfish sandwich (mine without the bun). The fish was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The fries were pretty good too, except for a few soggy ones. My friend ordered a glass of the Notorious F.I.G. (craft beer on tap), which had a very unique flavor (bourbon barrel-aged ale with hints of vanilla, plum, and fig). The staff was very friendly and accommodated our requests, enhancing the overall dining experience. read more
