The deck is covered and there are fans and windows so it did not get hot. The food was great! Bang bang shrimp wasn't spicy at all, had a nice tangy flavor, and the shrimp was tasted super fresh. The crab bisque fries were crispy and the bisque tasty. The lobster ravioli was SO good. I usually do not like cheese with seafood but this worked perfectly. It was creamy, savory, slightly sweet from the crab and shrimp cheese sauce it comes in which perfectly complemented the very stuffed lobster ravioli. The fish and wedges were really good too. Fish was meaty and crispy, wedges tasted roasted instead of fried and the coleslaw was creamy, crunchy and sweet. As a bonus, the tartar sauce was good too. Our server (Josh?) was very attentive, polite, friendly and quick. The menu isn't huge but I would come back if I'm in the area again. There are some coupons available as well for lunch in those travel pamphlets at the hotels.

It's tucked away in a strip mall, so it definitely wasn't what we expected, but don't let the location fool you, this place is a hidden gem. The inside has a fun, laid-back beach vibe, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. We ordered the redfish special, which was blackened Redfish, topped with crawfish étouffée, served over a grit cake. Everything on the plate worked together perfectly, and the fish was cooked just right. We also had the homemade chips with salsa and beer queso. The queso isn't your typical Mexican-style queso, so don't go in expecting that. It's a rich, flavorful beer queso, and I actually really enjoyed the different twist. It paired perfectly with the fresh, crispy chips. They also have a cute little bar that looked like a great place to grab a drink. We'll definitely be back to work our way through more of the menu. If you're in the St. Augustine Beach area, this spot is absolutely worth checking out!

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!

All of the names of the items have a car reference since the restaurant was previously a filling station. The decor also has a car ambiance. I chose the mustang burger. It had American cheese, bacon, bbq sauce and an onion ring on it. It was very tasty. Side options were fries, coleslaw, sweet potato fries or onion rings. I went with the onion rings.

Also, Jeff (the manager) stopped by our table, took the time to chat with us and made us feel right at home. We appreciated the old-school St. Augustine Southern hospitality that has been lost since the inevitable growth of the area. You definitely can't go wrong with their Fried Shrimp and Chicken Wings (loved the flavors of that buttery Garlic Parm)! Both seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ample outside seating steps away from the beach, feeling the breeze off of the Atlantic Ocean, a truly laid-back atmosphere, sunburnt tourist watching and counting all the Jeeps heading out to brave the soft sand while enjoying an ice cold beer or sweet tea...so priceless.

She started us out with baked oysters and they were good, but it was too much bacon and cheese for me personally. It overwhelmed the oyster flavor, but if you're trying oysters for the first time or wanna please a picky group then these are good. My daughter got the stuffed flounder with corn casserole as we called it, as her side. It was delicious! Probably the best thing ordered! Tacos and kids grilled fish was great too! Definitely a solid amount of fish nuggets in the taco. The fries were some of the best ive ever had. For the seafood feast, we ordered scampi style and it was good, but it reminded me of a clam sauce style, not really buttery and garlicky. It was still good, but what disappointed me was the melted plastic bag served at the table. It was difficult to open, even our server had trouble opening. Idk why everyone loves serving food in plastic bags. It's sooo hot from the steam that plastic leaches into the food. I don't get the infatuation with this, unless you're ordering to go. The fans upstairs are a nice and necessary touch and not too hot up there, despite being summer in July. I would go back and order the stuffed flounder again! Seriously, that was the best thing we ordered. Ashley was johnny on the spot too!

Far too long. The room is loud as well. Sound echoes through the cavern that is this restaurant. This is the worst thing I can say about the Black Molly because everything else was absolutely stellar! Our server, Justin, took quite awhile getting to us (we are certain he was just covering too many tables of 4 or more people), but he was an excellent, enthusiastic and helpful and attentive server when he arrived. The salads and entrees were fresh, loaded with high quality ingredients, and each was remarkably tasty and well made. The grilled foods were grilled to perfection and the smokey taste of the grill was embedded into every bite. Black Molly dinner salads are enormous - they are a full dinner in and of themselves. There is a Cesar, a Mediterranean, and a Chef salad offered. I had the Chef and The Boss had the Mediterranean with Shrimp. I had no idea they were as big as they were or we might have downsized a little. They came in a bowl that was really big, full of fresh mixed garden greens, excellent grilled vegetables, plump juicy tomatoes and were a delicious meal all by themselves. Half the salads went home with us to provide another meal. The shrimp were huge and perfectly prepared. The Chef Salad had great hunks of real ham and the most amazing produce and the dressings were excellent. I will be saddened to go back to store bought dressings and ranch and balsamic glazes. Get a side of (I think you have to specifically ask for) "Crispy" French fries no matter what else you order. They are the perfect size fries, crispy outside, moist delicious inside, and seasoned to perfection. We saw another table eating them and they looked so good we ordered a side - so glad we did. The restaurant is not inexpensive, but it is worth it. Quality food prepared with great attention to detail, fabulous tastes and excellent value. If you want a fresh, delicious, exceptional ingredient meal prepared to perfection, give the Black Molly a try!!!

The Ice Plant location was historically St. Augustine's first power and ice complex. Now the building has been revitalized and has The Ice Plant and The St. Augustine Distillery. The St. Augustine Distillery is connected to The Ice Plant and is a great tour to check out right before heading to grab food at the restaurant. There are a variety of guided and self-guided tours. My spouse and I checked out the self-guided tour right before we grabbed dinner at The Ice Plant. The tour isn't particularly long but was filled with information. After the tour, we headed upstairs to the restaurant. The restaurant feels really spacious with its super tall ceilings. There was lots to look at reminding us of the previous use of the building. We ordered the hand cut fries, strawberry and beet salad, and the gochujang marinated pork chop. I also ordered a few of their drinks, each one featuring different types of ice to fit the drink. Honestly all the food and the drinks were so good, but the easy standout of the night for both my spouse and I were the pork chops. These might have been the best pork chops I've ever had in my life. The pork chops were incredibly tender and juicy, not dry at all. I was expecting it to be a little dry, as I feel like pork chop can sometimes get overcooked, but no. These were so juicy and tender. I asked our server how the pork chop was cooked. Our server said that the pork chops were cooked sous vide, which makes a lot of sense as to how they were so tender. I've already told my spouse if we are in the St. Augustine area again, I would make a special trip just to get these pork chops again, they were that good. I really enjoyed this restaurant. This was my favorite spot we checked out in the St. Augustine area, if you are ever passing by the area, check The Ice Plant out!

The Bloody Mary is where it lost me. $15 is a serious price for a cocktail, and mine arrived as a tall glass of ice with what was left over poured around it.
