Beachcomber Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We really enjoyed dinner here. Our server was so nice and on top of refills, excellent service! The food was great! Fresh, came out fairly quickly. We sat outside and it was clean and comfortable. Inside looked cute but it was full. Would highly recommend when in the area. 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

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

One of the only few places open on St Augustine beach on New Year's Day and it did not disappoint! Fine dining cuisine with casual beach atmosphere and amazing friendly service.

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

I normally do not post negative reviews, but my recent experience at this beach restaurant changed my mind. After waiting nearly an hour for a table, my family waited about another two hours to finally get dinner (cheeseburgers and fries, nothing special). While I understand beach pubs in tourists locales will be slow, this was terrible service and I regret taking my family. Perhaps this was just an off night, but I will never chance it again. The meal was mediocre and certainly not worth the wait. The scenery was nice, but that's it. Buyer beware. 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

Great food. Great vibe. Try the triggerfish if it's available. Also great ocean view.

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

We absolutely love Beachcombers and have been the last 2 years we were in St Augustine. The only downsides to this place are that parking is a nightmare and they don't take reservations or even call ahead. But the service is outstanding and the food is even better! We've tried several different entrées and haven't had a bad one yet, if you've never been and you love seafood, give it a try, you'll love it! read more

We always passed by when going to the beach. Finally this time we went in. The staff is super friendly, including the person that takes the dishes for them, so cute and educated. Is pet friendly for those who care!. Dawson was our awesome waiter, we felt like we were regulars here. Food came fast, he made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered appetizers fried calamari it was not my type, too "brown" to me unlike those that come out like in the yellow tone. But still tasty. Fried coconut shrimp is super delicious, now my number one coconut shrimp in St Augustine area. Also a fish wrap for my Hubbie, he really liked it, that platter is for two people for sure. The wrap is recommended too. The place is beachy style, like Island style. This place is right beside the ocean. You really can relax here, it has that kind of spirit, as soon as you get in you feel it and you eat away the spirited seafood and desserts made by locals of course. 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

We stopped in for lunch and it was pretty awesome. The restaurant is right next to the ocean. I had a Gyro. The drinks were tasty.

Great service and food arrived pretty quickly. An unbeatable location right on the beach! My friend ordered the Conch Fritters, Oysters St. Croix and the Minorcan Clam Chowder. She really liked the chowder and she loved the oysters. The fritters had no taste - no conch taste and just generic something fried. I also picked through the one she gave me and I couldn't find any conch but it could have been ground into tiny, tiny pieces. It was mostly fried batter. I ordered the Crunchy Fish Wrap and it was spectacular. It was also too much food for me so I saved half. It came with a side so I chose the beans and rice. The beans were a little sweet - surprisingly - but good. I added a dash of salt. So most of the items were very good and I'd go back if I were ever there again. read more
