    My husband chose this place for lunch today and I am so glad he did because we have lived in the area for four years and I had no idea it was even here. It is on the beach at A street in St. Augustine Beach. Parking is tight so try to arrive when they open. We arrived at 11:15 and it was already pretty full. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside. Even though it was hot outside, the fans and the roof covering helped out a lot. The menu has plenty of appetizers, salads, tacos, handhelds and entrees. We decided to go with all appetizers. We started with the steamed peel and eat shrimp and it was delicious. Next we had the crab and spinach dip. Another good choice. Our final appetizer was the surfside sampler. It came with coconut shrimp, gator tails and fried mozzarella sticks. All three items tasted good. The ambiance is chill and beachy.

    Great little beach cafe with a full bar. Lots of locals and touists. Some tasty sea food - something for everyone. Family friendly. Just outside St Augustine. Short walk to the beach. .

    Angry crab sandwich

    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.

    Chicken Tacos (today's special) and roasted vegetables
    Susan H.

    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!

    Shrimp Tacos and Potato salad
    Donald H.

    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.

    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.

    Entry to restaurant
    Michael O.

    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!

We chose this spot for breakfast/brunch and what a fantastic find. The atmosphere is beautiful and upscale without feeling like you need to whisper or worry that you're holding your fork incorrectly. I went with the Gruyère cheese and ham omelette, and honestly, I'm not sure how they managed to make eggs this light. The omelette was delicate, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The kind of breakfast where you take a bite and immediately start thinking, "Well, now I'm going to have to compare every omelette I eat from this point forward." My wife ordered the spinach and mushroom quiche, which can only be described as decadent. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of dish that makes you slow down and appreciate what's happening on the plate. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was spectacular, and the entire experience felt like a special occasion even though we were simply there for breakfast. French Pantry was a fantastic find and absolutely deserving of five stars. If you're in St. Augustine looking for a breakfast or brunch experience that feels a little elevated, this is one to put on your list.

We got the chicken panini, bang bang shrimp, and pesto bucatini, and honestly all three were really good. Nothing fell flat. The bucatini had great flavor, the shrimp had that perfect crunch with a good kick, and the panini was solid comfort food done right. Service was great too -- attentive without hovering. If you only know them from Jacksonville, this location is a totally different experience. Worth the trip.

These are completely different in taste and calories, and it's not a reasonable substitute to casually suggest. What made it worse: oat milk, almond milk, and whole milk were all visibly sitting in the fridge right there from where I was seated at the bar. Zero effort to offer what was clearly available. The atmosphere didn't help either. The space feels like someone started building a café concept and never finished thinking it through. It's uninviting, disorganized, and oddly off -- not warm, not designed with the customer in mind. Nothing about the food, the presentation, or the space gives you a reason to choose this place over anywhere else. Not particularly tasty, not nicely decorated, not a vibe. Not sure what keeps people coming back, honestly.

One of our favorite things to do in every new city is seek out the local favorites and discover our own go to restaurants. This time, we decided to give St. Augustine Fish Camp a try. Right away, we were impressed. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the waterfront views made for a great dining experience. We ordered the clam chowder, Spicy Seafood Linguini, and Shrimp & Grits. Unfortunately, I'd love to be able to rave about the food, but shortly after we finished eating, I became sick and dealt with an upset stomach for the rest of the night. My fiancé also didn't feel well afterward, although her symptoms were much milder. This was the first and only meal we'd eaten since earlier that afternoon, so we suspect it may have been related to something we ate, though we can't say that with absolute certainty. That said, one bad experience doesn't define a restaurant. The service and atmosphere were both excellent, and it's clear from the many positive reviews that plenty of people have had great meals here. We'll give St. Augustine Fish Camp another chance before we leave town, but next time we'll probably order different menu items. Thanks for reading, we hope our experience is helpful!
