    Happy hour tuna appetizer
    Ed S.

    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.

    Great location! I loved being on the water and feeling the breeze. Evryone loved their food. Our server Hannah was awesome, and made great recommendations. I will definitely be back!

    Trigger fish with beans and rice
    Andy C.

    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

    Margaritas.
    Julie T.

    Wonderful view. Great service by Will! We had the clam chowder the Thai Cobb salad and the grouper fingers and all were excellent. We had the happy hour margaritas in Palomas and they were fabulous. Highly recommend this place. Don't doubt it when you drive up because it's excellent.

    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!

    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.

    Picnic Tables adjacent to the Dunes
    Yellow R.

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp and grits
    Jill H.

    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!!!

    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.

On a busy Friday night, we started at the bar for cocktails and were immediately welcomed by a friendly, upbeat bar staff. At prime dinner hour we put our name in for a table and, to our surprise, were seated on the outdoor patio with that spectacular beach view in about 15 minutes. Service was excellent throughout -- attentive without being intrusive -- and the food was terrific. Highlights for us: Fish spread -- outstanding and rivaled some of my longtime local favorites in both quality and flavor. Grilled buffalo wings -- cooked perfectly. Fried oysters -- excellent appetizer. (order two of the sauces) Cajun Fried Shrimp Po' Boy -- very tasty (my only small suggestion would be a little more remoulade sauce, it was nearly absent). Nashville Chicken Sandwich -- my wife loved it; spicy and delicious and not overcooked.. A fun surprise: this was the first day they had tables actually set up on the sand, which I think is a fantastic addition. It may make things a little tougher on the servers, but for beachgoers it's a wonderful option. The live music was very good -- this has always been a fun place to hear local musicians -- and the performers that evening did not disappoint. It was a touch loud for conversation on the patio and we were sitting quite aways away from the band, but many enjoy that energy. If you want a quieter meal, dining inside may be the better choice. A particularly nice touch was the manager stopping by our table to make sure everything was to our liking. That level of attention says a lot. The place feels professionally run. Prices are a little higher, but in my opinion the food quality is a step up from the old Palm Pavilion -- and frankly, what do you expect for a front-row seat on one of the nation's #1 beaches? Thank you, Crabby's Beachside -- we'll be back.

GOOD: Good size portions, reasonable prices, especially for cocktails. The same margarita would be $14 elsewhere. I had the "Wrap it up mango" tuna wrap with fried plaintains as my side. Plaintains were a big portion, so I took half home. The wrap was very tropical with fruit and sushi grade tuna. I ate it all, which was greedy of me, but I enjoyed it and felt overfull (my bad). Hubby had the clam and shrimp chowder and 2 apps. Very tender clams, thick texture and more shrimp flavor than clam, tasty for sure. Conch fritters good and in our top 5 (we get them everywhere and have been disappointed but now here). The wings were cooked perfectly, not heavy and crispy. The key lime flavor was good but too light. BAD: Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was super friendly and welcoming. The other servers seemed right on top of the other diners. 2 person tables are a bit too small if you order multiple appetizers. But nothing bad at all here.
