The board on opening day
Bill M.

Opening day today, 4/21/22 offered 4 beers (plus a guest cider). I like the pace that the brewer is setting. All the beers were very good. The IPA was pretty classic West Coast, mildly hoppy, a little strong, but easy drinking. The Marzen is a great rendition of this style. It's malty, a little sweet, and very smooth. The 100 Oranges is advertised as a Belgian Single, but I'd say it's less Belgian, and more lager. The citrus and coriander come through nicely, but neither overwhelm. It's a summer beer. I didn't have the Brud Leicht, but consensus around me was that it was a very light version of a Michelob Ultra. For those that drink that style, you're covered. The building housing the brewery and bar is brand new. It's a clean and attractive space, albeit a little small. To get there, walk toward the north from the outside bar, through the building with the pool tables, out to the pool, the make a right to access the ramp and door to the taproom. Tanks are on display behind the bar. I like the number of taps on the wall, there's plenty of room for expansion. Cynthia was tending bar. If you're lucky enough to be there when she's working, you'll be well served. I'll be back. Next time I'll ride my bike to save a parking spot for you. Cheers to #5 in St Augs.

Great service, great beer, easy parking, indoor and outdoor seating, great food, and easy place to find. Not dog friendly. Self serve water station.

A pool in the center of the businesses! Looking outside the window from the brewery.

What a unique find! The brewery is small but has excellent beer. Best part? There is a pool! And a bbq restaurant. And a beachy bar. All in one, right on A1A!

Location is only a few months old. They are also tucked in so you might not be able to see it. But the beer selection was good and the staff was outstanding. They may get pretty busy and the seating would be limited. Overall a great location and I hope it thrives!

This brewery is a hidden gem. Great beer, great company and loved the atmosphere. Tucked away and kid friendly! We will be going back!

Love the outdoor ambiance! Tend to go on calmer nights. The street corn dip was incredible. But…read morethe ham and apple sandwich is my go to fav! Thankfully they have champagne and oj-caz I'm not a big craft beer. This hits the spot!

I really want to love this place because it has such great potential. I'll start with the pros:…read more -Location on the creek with large outdoor space, both a covered deck patio and on the grass under tents -Nice outdoor ambiance and views, dock for arrival by boat and access to more nice views at the end of the dock -Great place to gather with out of town guests for a unique casual experience -Dog friendly -Great beers and hard seltzers -A few of the apps are really good including the humus platter and cheese curds The list of cons is weighty: -Waitstaff is very slow and not personable... every time. -Parking area is not large enough to accommodate a full house and parking across the street and walking across is very dangerous -Children are allowed by parents to run around like wild banshees in the outdoor space, disrupting other guests, with no recourse from aforementioned waitstaff. (I now refuse to go on weekends after two bad experiences with feral children) -Entree food is sub par and expensive for the price. I recently ordered a seasonal special salad and it only came with half the listed ingredients on it. Not worth $20 and disappointing to say the least Now that I've spelled out all the pros and cons I truly wonder why I keep giving it another chance.

Another absolutely fantastic meal! As I mentioned in a previous review, the decor is simple, but…read moreclassy. My waitress, Taylor, was spot on, extremely attentive, and the epitome of southern charm. Now onto the food. All I can say is 10 out of 10. Every meal I eat at this restaurant is a home run. I had the beet salad to start and then the stuffed grouper for my entree. This restaurant is a gem in the Jacksonville area. I will be visiting this establishment every time I visit this area. Thank you to all the staff at OP Fish House and Oyster Bar.

Don't say I didn't tell you about the Westside!…read more I've been wanting to come to OP Fish House for a while. I decided and came for lunch today and I will say it did not disappointment like I thought it would. I'm always down to try a place atleast once. So let's get into this review shall we!? Upon walking in my husband and I were greeted by the hostess and you'll see a big chalkboard with their weekly specials. We were sat in the back by a window so it was nice to have a view. Everything looked good on the menu. We started off with shrimp and some oysters and the oysters were topped with collard greens and cheese they were good but the oysters were just HUGE! For my entree I had a shrimp po'boy with a side of the bacon collards again they were really good. My only issue is that for my po'boy the bread was not a roll but it was still satisfying. My husband had the fish platter with grouper and trigger fish with fries and coleslaw. We absolutely loved the grouper it reminded me of red snapper. However we will be back and I love a cutie, rustic looking restaurant.

We were in Mandarin recently so my wife suggested we check out The Cavern. They're at 9825 San Jose…read moreon the east side of the road in a shopping plaza. We'd been there more than a few times back when it was Jax Craft Beer but this was our first time since they changed to The Cavern. The first thing we noticed was the huge, cool bar that's been added. We started with the House Made Pretzel. The pretzel itself was great and the beer cheese with it was excellent! I ordered the Basan with a few minor modifications. I asked for it without pickles or hot mustard. Everything else worked together really well on a good ground chicken patty.. The candied jalapeños added an especially unique touch. My wife ordered the Brick Burger which is super unique (menu pics in the comments). Like me, she liked how everything worked together. She said she might ask for no mashed potatoes next time though. They weren't bad, she just thought the burger would be just as good without it. We had the pleasure of meeting some of our group members while we were there, which was awesome. We also got to meet the owner, Aaron as well. He's a super nice guy who seems to really care about what they're doing at The Cavern. One final note: they were doing something while we were there that seemed really cool. On Saturdays, they do a beer sharing event. In short, people can buy an extra beer from the cooler that gets shared with everyone in the place by way of small sample size glasses. That's a super cool idea I've never seen anywhere else and it makes for a really cool community vibe. This was our first time at The Cavern Pub but it won't be our last. This review originally appeared in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group.

The sign on the billboard just says Pub!…read more It's in between H & R Block and Wing it This is actually my 2nd visit here. I just forgot to check in. Let me tell you this place is popular! The bar was pretty full when we arrived, so we took a seat on the couch for a second, before we decided to start browsing the beers in the frig and on the wall! Such an interesting place. I chose a beer to take home. Tyler the bartender introduced himself to me and we chatted a bit, and he took my order. Such a nice guy! The 1st time I ordered a Quad and the Gringo nachos. The bar was full, and people were shooting pool and playing darts. Tyler was the bartender again, and he remembered me. Then also the owner's son introduced himself to us. Such a good vibe here! I order a Quad, and it was on special for $4.99 a pint! Scored on that one! Also ordered the grilled cheese and sweet potato fries (I met to order the zucchini sticks) Next time! The Quad was great! I don't know why that grilled cheese was so freaking good! (it's just grilled cheese, right?) lol the sweet potato fries were also good but let me tell you about that made from scratch ranch dressing! Hidden valley ain't got nothing on this Ranch Dressing! It took those sweet potatoes fries to the next level They do run out of items, so make sure you have a 2nd option in mind! They also make from scratch, pretzels and perogies. If your Vegetarian they have: The grilled cheese, Gringo Nachos and Potato Perogies Tyler also said you can bring in food from other establishments.
