Food was good and fresh, service was a little slow and abrupt. It was right on the beach, though not much of a view cause of the sand dunes. I had a fish sandwich and it was excellent. read more

My family and I were staying nearby for a weekend in St. Augustine and were keen on eating on the beachfront. BC is definitely a laid back and scenic experience. It appears popular with locals as it was fairly crowded for a Sunday night. The staff was definitely friendly and got us seated quickly in spite of the crowd. While we were happy to be seated quickly, we were a bit surprised by the long wait for the food to be served. From the time we order until being served was nearing an hour. Seems just a bit too long for some casual sandwiches, but since we were vacationing, we didn't sweat it too much. The food was tasty and very location appropriate. I had the fish reuben and really enjoyed it. The fries and macaroni we had as sides weren't super memorable. But the fish was definitely fresh and enjoyable. Given the scene at this establishment, I'd say it's for more of the bar crowd than the foodie crowd. That okay though, we were happy just to be on the beach front. I'd come again if back in town. read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Yes, yes, and yes!!! We really enjoyed our experience beachomber. We decided to take a long weekend getaway in St Augustine and were looking for a beach side restaurant. After some debate and calling around to find out that some restaurants are not dog friendly, we decided on beachcombers. Atmosphere: - Exactly what we hoped for. Chill vibe, casual and right on the beach. While we had a long wait (an hour or so) it was great to walk along the beach while we waited. We were seated in the back next to the sand dunes, again, perfect. Food: - Coconut shrimp: yummy with an excellent sauce. - The wife has the fish spread platter with what seemed like homemade pita chips (those were amazing). - We also shared the stuffed catch. Trigger fish with a crab cake a delicious pineapple salsa over wild rice. Everything had lots of flavor and was cooked well. Drinks: - Cilantro pineapple margarita was incredibly. I highly recommend. - mocktail mojito: also delicious for you non-alcohol drinkers. This place was a win for us. If we are ever back in st Augustine this will certainly be a stop!! read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

My beautiful wife and I visited Florida for the weekend. It was her first time being there and she really wanted to see the beach. I wanted to find a cool place to eat on the beach and get some seafood. I found this place and it didn't disappoint. I love the beach vibe this place gave off. It had coconuts hanging from the ceiling decorated to look like faces. Very creative! I ordered the Duo, which was fried fish and fried shrimp with two sides. I got the red beans and rice and an order of fries. My beautiful wife ordered the fish Rueben sandwich. Both dishes were simple, unpretentious, every man kind of meals. Very tasty! My fish and shrimp were fresh and the fries were delicious! The only drawback was my red beans and rice. It was bland. It needed some salt and maybe a spicy kick. We were greeted warmly and our server did a great job waiting on us. He was friendly. I would highly recommend this place. It's right off the beach. Pop in for a drink and good food! read more

The first time we went we loved it. The location is really the best part about this place. I am always happy that they monitor the parking. The food is less than ideal. We keep going back wanting it to be better, but leave somewhat disappointed each time. I got the crunchy mahi tacos. Even with the sauce on it, the tacos were very bland. I even put on a lot of salt and pepper and if still had no taste. My husband had a half of andouille sausage with rice and beans. Again it had very little flavor. The drinks were good and they had our favorite kind of beer, but they were a little pricey. It's unfortunate because the staff is super friendly and the location is great. I wish the food tasted better. read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - Jalapeño, Cucumber margarita - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

The food was very good, both in quantity and quality. Liliana was our waitress and was extremely nice. Location is close to the beach. The Indoor seating and parking is limited. A portable hand held credit card reader is used in lieu of a paper bill. The device only showed a final bill total, which you pay and then you have an option to have the receipt sent electronically or printed. Not a fan of these devices because it makes it harder to see details of what you are being charged for ahead of your payment unless you ask, but it does have its benefits of a speedie process. read more

Great place on the beach! Parked right next to the restaurant and we're no more than 20 steps from the sand. We ate outside because we had a party of 6. Our servers name was Lily (or Lillie, not sure the spelling) but she was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable with the menu! Our party of 6 ordered a little bit of everything (gator tail, crab ravioli, calimari, rainforest wrap, shrimp dinner, fish dinner) and it was all tasty. The burger I got was cooked perfectly (medium-well) and the fried egg to top it off was probably one of the best I've ever had! Would highly recommend to anyone that's on the beach that wants a good sit down restaurant! read more

Stopped in and felt like we were at home. We are from Ohio and even though we kick Penn State's butt every year. A local gentleman greeted us with love and a smile. This is one of those places that everyone is very friendly.the drinks and food were both very good but also very reasonable in price. Thank so much, Dave Martin. GO BUCKS!! read more

Nice hanging out place on the beach, good food, and a great place to bring the kids. We had the coconut shrimp appetizers which were fried. Nicely done. A little sweet for me but they disappeared quickly. We also had a pound of steamed shrimp which were seasoned nicely. We split the halibut fish tacos. They were grilled nicely. The margarita was perfect (and 12.00) Overall super tasty meal and fun place to spend time. read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - Outside the Beachcomber - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

He Said: We wanted a beach front spot and Beachcomber delivered. Ok, dune front, but excellent atmosphere nonetheless. There is outdoor seating/standing while waiting for a table, and seating for food indoors and out. The menu is standard beach fare, but I think the food is definitely better than "standard". We had conch fritters, which were clearly made locally, and split a fish sandwich. Again, clearly made on-site with local fish. The fish was flavorful and cooked nicely, I was really impressed. They have a decent beer selection and plenty of cocktails. I opted for a margarita (couldn't taste the tequila, but tasty otherwise) and it fit nicely with the sand on my feet and the sound of the ocean just past the dune. I could sit here all day. She Said: He had to run back to the hotel while we waited for our table, so I sat at the bar for my first drink of the night. Those folks are busy, but they definitely have a system that works for them. As he said, it was all really tasty, and the vibe is just what we were looking for with our first trip to the area. Wait staff--particularly Maddie--were all attentive and nice. Potty Points: No trip to the potty on this visit for me! read more

food was okay, atmosphere was cool. sand was dirty i wish they would comb through it. overall alright but could have been better

Ambiance is your classic beach's edge restaurant -- sandy, sunscreen in the air, and sunburns as far as the eye can see. Food is okay, but you're paying for location and vibe here. You can certainly get better seafood elsewhere, but Beachcomber is solid and fun. read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - Interior - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

I love this place. You see, I staggered off the beach on a blazingly hot August day into this place for an ice cold pitcher of beer back in 2003 before I had the means to live here. Back then, the massive dune that shields much of the beach view today was not there. It was a flat run to the shore...but I digress. I'm pleased to say that the beer has only improved. They've added plenty of crafts to their list, it's still as cold. The proximity to the beach is still the key, regardless of the dune's obstruction. The renovation of the shack is nicely done too. But the real story here is the food. I've had quite a few of their menu items and I'd say the Shipwreck Burger and the Ahi Tuna Tacos are worth a try. I also like the Minorcan chowder, although it's not the best in town. This place is a must stop on when on the beach. Service is good, prices are reasonable and the food is very good. read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - Bun, meat, shrimp, tartar sauce...don't mess with it. It's unreal. Just get it - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars is because the server Russel was great. Other than that the food was absolutely terrible. My husbands wings were completely slimy and soggy. I ordered the poke bowl that had no flavor and the rice was barely cooked. My 1 year old loves food and eats just about anything and wouldn't touch anything but her fries. The food was god awful. read more

Beachcomber Restaurant - View from the patio - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

The best thing about this place was the drinks! They were beautifully presented and I finally found a place that puts actual, noticeable alcohol in an alcoholic drink. The second best thing was the nice, beachy vibe and the breeze blowing through the open -air seating area. The food was good. My daughter in law had the blue crab ravioli, I had the shrimp and grits (spicy), but lots of shrimp, my husband had the lamb gyro and my son had a Caribbean? fish plate. We all liked our choices. They were only warm upon arrival. My grandson enjoyed his kid's shrimp basket. All the fries were limp and cold, except the side order basket of fries for my granddaughter, which was hot and the fries crispy and delicious. What really put a negative on my experience was this. We arrived at 530. 25 minute wait. No problem. It's Florida during the tourist season. (The wait around 630 pm was probably double). After we arrived, a young couple arrived with several children. They appeared to be well known to the staff, as the children were being handed over the hostess stand and hugged by the hostesses and other wait staff. I knew this young mom was probably also wait staff, visiting on her day off. After they arrived, it wasn't but 10 minutes before they were seated in a booth which should have been ours. Ten minutes after that, they asked to be moved two booths behind, where the sun wasn't slanting in to their faces. Technically that should have been our booth as well, by default. So then their booth was cleaned and THEN we were seated, in the rejected booth that should have been ours in the first place. I questioned the hostess about why they were seated before us, when they came after us. She said, well, they're our wait staff family, so they were seated. I said that's BS. She just shrugged. Bad, bad policy right there. Insulting. Honestly, it made me so damn mad, good thing my margarita kicked in and it had a pretty flower in it. read more

Walked down the beach from the pier and discovered this gem. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the weather and scenery. Annika (sp) was our server and so nice, helpful and knowledgeable. Didn't get the managers name but ask him where he sources their gator from, one of his favorite topics. We had the gator tail, seafood chowder and clam chowder with no complaints. read more

Spending the day on the beach, we walked up to have lunch at the Beachcomber. Frankie the bartender was great with some suggestions. We started with the Coconut Shrimp and then split a the El Loco burger. It was large and tasty. We had fries for the side and they were great. Location is great, if you are on the beach. There is limited parking if you just come for the restaurant. read more

Id they have them get the Ruby Shrimp to start. Love the location, cocktails, ambiance and staff.

Such a fun little spot! Good food, great service and awesome vibes right on the beach. Must walk, no parking unless you ride your bikes. Right at the beach access on A. We stopped in for a cold one and apps after riding our bikes from the hotel! They have plenty of outdoor seating with fans and indoor if it's too hot! Jennifer our server was so sweet and made us feel right at home! All the apps we had were on point (avocado ranch with the egg rolls was awesome, Calamari was super fresh with light breading and Buffalo mahi mahi bites were the tables fav) and the perfect mid day snack! I loved my Pineapple Cilantro marg! Would def recommend whether a local or visiting just based off the fun island mood & welcoming friendly service! read more

Outstanding experience! I asked my hotel's front desk clerk for a locals got-to seafood joint, and she was spot on. Beachy ambiance, wonderful menu choices, and terrific service made for the perfect family dinner. Fresh trigger and awesome crab cake! Sit outside for more elbow room. Parking could be a challenge, but we found a spot in their small lot. I'll be back the next time we're in St Augustine. read more

And barely 3 stars. Clearly this place is about location location location! And this is the only reason I gave it even 3 starts. Otherwise it be a 2 star. It has THE best spot there is less 1 big wave waiting G-d forbid to wipe it out. Let's hope not. It literally sits on the start of the beach ramp at A street, hence the motto, where A street meets the beach. Well that couldn't be truer. Has small front area you can stay outside if you come at the right time and it's not too crowded. Good luck parking there is a tiny lot next to it. Same with the inside. Been a few times now. Honestly the few food items we've tried are nothing to write home about & not worth going back for honestly. Once we went in it was so busy. We somehow got a spot at the bar which takes up most of the room after someone left and bar tender shouted there was 1 line on far other side by the door to get a drink. Little confusing as we're at the bar & should be waited on by bar tenders going around. I feel bad for the servers trying to walk around serving food when it's that busy. read more

Food is not worth the price. Service is adequate, ambience is the only savior!

Cute little spot near the ocean. I went on a busy Sunday afternoon. Tight parking, I got assistance from an employee. Covered ourside seating. We did not wait long.

The staff was friendly and quick. Definitely will be going back! read more

The Beachcomber is just off of the beach in St. Augustine. It looks like your run of the mill shack that's just waiting for the next hurricane to wash it out to see, but it looks to have persevered for a long time. This is the place you want to go for some decent food and fun. It has a lively atmosphere without having music blaring into your skull. Service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Recommended. read more
