We were in town for a long weekend for a concert and stayed at the Embassy Suites down the street. I was on Instagram and this place popped up on my feed - decided to give it a try! Glad we did! We ended up walking there and it was easy to get to. When we walked inside, we were able to get a table inside right away. It was clean and cutely decorated. Our server came by quickly and got our drink and food order in. I ordered the breakfast tacos (comes with 2 good sized tacos) - sooooooooo good! They hit the spot! What got me... it had goat cheese on it! It was delicious. My husband got the fish tacos and he said they were good too! Definitely a great place for breakfast and lunch if you're in the area!! Apparently they have some great bloody mary's too! read more

Beachside Diner - Breakfast Tacos with Hashbrowns - Diners Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

If planning a breakfast out while visiting St. Augustine Beach give Beachside Diner a try but make sure you pack some patience as you'll probably have to wait for a table as this place is popular. For our visit this time they said about a 30 minute wait which was actually 20 minutes. The vibe of the place is very cool with the old jukebox and a bar as well as tables both inside and outside. We were seated outside this visit which was fine as it was shady. I had the corned beef has with hash browns and 2 sunny side eggs. The corned beef is full of shredded corned beef with just a small amount of potatoes. The hash browns with onions were nice and crispy as I asked and the eggs were cooked nicely with the right amount of run when broken. My wife has the Classic Breakfast which is somewhat similar to what I had but with no meat. Hers was done nicely too. Thanks for a nice visit and see you the next time we're back to St. Augustine Beach! read more

I'm having a hard time seeing how this diner has a 4.5 star rating. The good: within walking distance from our hotel, we were seated quickly, and the biscuit was the star of my meal. The bad: the food was ice cold, there doesn't seem to be air conditioning in the restaurant, and if you ask for scrambled eggs - you'll be served with egg beaters versus fresh eggs. The corned beef hash - not worth the $8 upcharge when it's cold and the fat has congealed read more

What a classic Environment. Great food and reasonably priced! The Bloody Marys are excellent. Biscuits and gravy are some of the best we ever had. The Old Timers breakfast is amazing and very filling. Loved it and will be back. read more

Overpriced diner doesn't have the quality to justify the inflated prices. Overly salty breakfast with burnt toast, plus having to wait and ask for a coffee refill is just too much. I also dislike being given the check while we're still eating. That's not good service. read more

We LOVED our server! She was fantastic! I have GOT to start remember names so they can be recognized. I should know better considering I am a director in the Food and Beverage industry. Shame on me! Diner themed restaurant was super cool with neon lights. I ordered rye toast but the oats on the crust was a dead give away that half of my toast was not rye bread lol. All good. The hash brown casserole was nasty and got my money back, it was like a queso(esq.) with peppers. Never known a had brown casserole to have peppers. Anyways....that manager is one hell of a damn worker, he helps his team, busses tables, and seats people. The hosts had a total RBF plus a total B our server was even excited to know that we asked for the manager to speak about how rude she was. She stuck out like a sore thumb because everyone of those team member were happy to be there, even on a crazy Saturday Morning. read more

This place straddles the line between a local hangout and definitive destination for tourists flocking to St. Augustine beach. The menu is quintessential beach diner fare and they do it right. Grab a seat outside and soak up the beach breeze! If you're an out-of-towner, add this to your list of breakfast spots and don't skip the home fries. read more

Excellent casual 1950s diner style breakfast! The service was friendly and they kept the hot coffee full. The country fried steak meal with eggs toast and hash brown...chefs kiss! The gravy on the steak tasted like old school country gravy...Enter nostalgia. The hashbrown casserole had a slight kick to it, mild spicy no need for any hot sauce which was a nice surprise very tasty. The beignets the table over ordered looked good will probably try those next time. Filled up by 9 am! read more

We ate here two mornings on their outdoor patio while on our honeymoon, mainly because hubby likes breakfast all day offerings and I'm more of a bring on lunch girl. Because I'm a planner with a picky eating hubby, I always study the menus of restaurants beforehand so there are less disappointments. This one was a winner and the main draw in for me was the seafood crepes and they did not disappoint! Hubby had the big breakfast. Day two I had the sunrise burger with hash browns and all the hubby wanted was pancakes. Definitely a winner! read more

Great service we had a table of thirteen and Max was our waitress who did a great job. She made sure everyone was taken care of. I had the Smokehouse Classic which was 2 Eggs, bacon, home fries and a bagel. Wife had the Neat Lovers omelette (4) eggs and split it with her sister. My over medium eggs were perfect not crazy about the home fries not what I expected. Otherwise everyone else's meals were excellent. My wife and sister both loved their omelette they split. The place has a great vibe love the atmosphere of the place. Will still give it 5 stars beside the potatoes read more

Beachside Diner - Yankee Stadium subway station. I have been there many of times. - Diners Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Decor is fun - gives it a great atmosphere! Service was friendly, excellent and knowledgeable! Hair of the Dog Bloody Mary was great. The mix was not too spicy and tasted great! The marinated bean had a serious kick to it, though. The Brunch Tower Bloody Mary was huge! Same flavorful mix but enough chicken and waffle to serve on a side plate and take leftovers home. Coffee was excellent and refilled as needed. The 2-2-2-2 was great! A side of hash browns were also fantastic!! read more

We ate here two mornings in a row because it was close to our hotel and we enjoyed it enough to come back! Just like Crabby's, "beachside" is in the name but it's more beachside adjacent, which is fine. We saw 2 local police officers and what we thought were other locals there, so we knew it must be good. The first morning hostess was very young and kinda had the Gen Z Stare about her, but she seated us just fine, if a bit unenthusiastically. Our server, who ended up taking care of us both mornings, was fantastic: very down to earth and personable. Oh and they have Coke Zero, my favorite! (Sometimes it's hard to find) I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with hash browns and my husband ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken with home fries. The description for my burrito says "eggs, cheese, sausage, and crushed avocado". But it was like 85% egg, 14% cheese and avocado, and maybe 1% sausage. I'm not even sure I would have known sausage was in it if the description had not said! It was good, but they could really stand to increase the sausage in the burrito. The hash browns were good, very crispy and simple. My husband loved his chicken and it also came with a huge serving of eggs, a biscuit, and home fries. He said those were a bit deceiving because they didn't seem like home fries - but they were still good. He really loved his breakfast and I enjoyed mine, but was a bit disappointed. The second morning's hostess was more friendly and we got the same server from the day before, who almost remembered our drink order! This time, I got the Surfer Omelette with grits and wheat toast and my husband got the Smokehouse with bacon and a biscuit. I loved this omelette more than the burrito although once again, it was a bit skimpy on the meat (this time, bacon instead of sausage) but it still had more than yesterday's burrito, which wouldn't have taken much. Still, I polished it off and was thoroughly pleased. My husband liked the Smokehouse but said yesterday's chicken was way better. His main disappointment was the biscuit - he could tell immediately that it was a leftover biscuit from yesterday. It was crumbly and cold, unlike the fresh warm biscuit from morning #1. So he and I had opposite experiences both days: he loved morning #1 but I loved morning #2. It's a cool place, with good service, food comes out fast and good, and they play classic rock or what I hear kids these days calling "Grandpa Rock"? Anyway, highly recommend this place if you're in St. Augustine! read more

Beachside Diner was fantastic. It had a great feel from the moment you walked in the door.. We split the shrimp and crabmeat crepes. They were AMAZING! We each had a hash browns casserole. The food was great. Our server, his name escapes me right now, sorry, he was there when we needed him, but he didn't hover. He seemed to know what we needed before we asked. The ambiance was a lot of fun. This place kept busy, and the staff did not appear, at any time, overwhelmed. read more

Great diner! The food was good, and unique, but stuck to the good diner feel. The wait for a table wasn't bad even on a busy Sunday morning. The service was wonderful- kind people, helpful. A little slow but honestly the place was slammed. The coffee was also great and the Bloody Mary was excellent! Definitely a top notch diner. read more

4.5 Service- Host didn't really smile. Waitress was amazing and super friendly. Vibe- super cute and retro inside, nice covered outside for fresh air. Food- Waffle was good, eggs were ok. Cheesy hasbrowns still had some crisp and received a thumbs up. Regular breakfast with gravy also had a thumbs up. Shrimp tacos- basic fried shrimp, but met the needs of my daughter. She added some of my avocado to them. Avocado toast- two pieces, lots of fresh avocado. Wheat toast, plainer- healthy option. French Dip- roast beef, but very good and flavorful. Bloody Mary- cucumber vodka infused in house, added datil for some spice. Very good with fresh veggies. Will be back! read more

Beachside Diner - Simple but good! - Diners Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

My husband and I decided to try something different for breakfast. It turned out to be a great decision. Beachside was recommended to us and while waiting for one of our cars to be serviced at a close by dealership, we had breakfast. We knew it had to be a good place as the line was FOREVER long to be seated. We decided to take seats at the bar which definitely cut down on the wait, at least for us. It only took about 5 minutes for our order to be taken after we were seated. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive to her tables/seats at the bar. She was quick to respond to every need and tried to make small take with each customer, as best she could. She was definitely earning her paycheck this Saturday morning. The food came out relatively quickly after the order was placed. Our came without mistake, which was surprising given the quantity of orders that morning. Now that the dealership has moved we will have to intentionally make the trip to "the island" but I know it will be well worth it. Beachside Diner has definitely been added to our rotation for breakfast! One can only take so much Cracker Barrel!!! read more

Great breakfast spot with a fun, relaxed vibe and very friendly staff. Service was quick, portions were generous, and the overall experience felt easy and enjoyable. It's clear why this place is so popular. Some menu items are hit-or-miss and don't always match the hype, but overall it's still a place I'd come back to. read more

After a disappointing brunch elsewhere, we ended up at Beachside Diner and it turned out to be the highlight for brunch on this trip! The food was amazing and the service matched it every step of the way. So glad we made the switch -- highly recommend! read more

Busy classic diner on St Augustine Beach. We arrived around 10:45 and the diner was starting to get busier (we waited 15 minutes). They have juices, coffee, tea, bloody marys, prosecco and even spiked coffee. I ordered the spiked latte with kailua. For brunch I went with the avocado toast, which was really a piece of toast with sliced avocados and tomatoes with a side of pickled onions. Also ordered a side of cheesy hash brows, excellent!!! With good food and fast service this is a great brunch spot, just don't forget your spiked coffee ;) read more

What a busy spot! Granted, we went on a holiday weekend, but I guarantee this place is like this all the time. It's a super cute spot right across from St. Augustine Beach. Parking is onsite, but kind of limited, so it's best to get there early if you're wanting to catch breakfast before going about a full day in town. We were told it would be about a 25 minute wait for a table for two. We only actually waited for about 10 minutes. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but since it was chilly, we chose to sit indoors. Our server was friendly and took our drink and food order within 5 minutes. My cappuccino was bitter, which was a disappointment, so I asked for a glass of water instead. My son ordered the Mickey Pancake with chocolate chips and I ordered a Classic Breakfast, which consisted of two eggs (your choice of style), your choice of bread, your choice of potatoes (home fries or hash browns), grits or salad. I went with over easy eggs, with white toast, hash browns and a side of bacon. The food took awhile to get to us: approximately 25 minutes. I was about to ask if we had been forgotten, when the food arrived. It was all cooked to perfection and tasted great. I would return, but probably on a lesser busier day of the week. read more

A mailer had a buy one, get one entree coupon for Beachside Diner limited to certain hours on weekdays. We tried it on New Year's Day and got a Sunrise Burger that includes a fried egg, a Reuben and a spicy chicken wrap with pickled Jalapeños. Our sides were French fries, chips and a Caesar salad. Everything was good -- especially the burger and spicy wrap. The side salad was small but made me want to try their Cobb and Caesar salads that are entrees. The outdoor seating has heaters, nice on a sunny but chilly day. The server was prompt and friendly even thought the place was packed for the holiday. read more

What a great breakfast spot. The cute and squeaky clean interior is reminiscent of a fifties diner. On this beautiful morning we opted for dining on the patio facing the A1a. We got there at opening and were promptly seated by the cordial seater. Our waitress Jackie got there promptly to take our order. DD opted for crab and shrimp eggs Benedict and I chose the spicy chicken and waffles. Both dishes were generous and absolutely delish. Loved the atmosphere (minus the loud drunk at 7:00 am woman at the corner table) and the top notch service. read more

Sitting on the patio at Beachside on A1A is a pleasant brunch experience. First, start off with their spicy, veggie filled Bloody Mary's! People love the spicy chicken and waffles for good reason, they are delicious! And who doesn't love crab and shrimp on their Benedict? The manager checked on us and the servers were attentive. Afterwards take a walk to the beach and see how much the restoration has lasted. read more

I really enjoyed my breakfast at Beachside. I found it on a whim, while searching for places to get omelets in St. Augustine, then stumbled upon a picture of their chicken and waffles, which I knew I had to order. It was not disappointing!! First of all, just know that if you're sensitive to spice like I am, the spice is in a dry rub that they can bring on the side. Honestly, the chicken tastes great and really doesn't need it IMO. Also, it's boneless chicken, which I strongly prefer in my chicken and waffles. The waffle is nice a fluffy and it was all in all, just a fantastic dish, with a HUGE serving. I also had the latte, which was strong and delicious, along with a cup of fresh squeezed orange juice, which I loved. We went on a crowded Sunday morning and for a table of 2 waited about 30 minutes (we were quoted 45, so were happy with that). There's plenty of seating in a nice park outside where people waited. The service was helpful and efficient, but it's a fast-paced diner environment, so it was quite loud inside and the turnaround time between getting your menu, asking for your orders, and getting your food to your table is all pretty quick. Since I already knew what I wanted, it wasn't an issue for me, but you may want to plan ahead for that. Also, can't forget to mention the quirky elements and 1950's decor, which was really cool. It kinda looks like Johnny Rockets, for those who are familiar. Overall, it was a great diner experience, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more
