We tried Florida Cracker Cafe for dinner. It's our first time. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. The food is good, and it seems like the side portions are too small. The service could have been better. Our server was nice and friendly, but she did forget a few things. It's okay; it happens and it's understandable. It's a family-friendly and dog-friendly restaurant.
Our food and service were great. We had some varieties this time, but the blackened shrimp tacos were on special and honestly was the best thing at the table. Our hostess that met us to put our names in was pretty unprofessional. I'm not looking for formal by any means, but I am looking for a welcome and some pleasantries to get us seated.
A personal favorite of my husbands. He gets the 1/2 lbs burger. This time I got the Shrimp Salad Wrap. MIL also got the pulled pork sandwich which was the special for the day. Our waitress was Tori and she was very quick to get us drinks. We got the cornbread and honey butter for apps and it was delicious. It came with 6 but they were gone before I could get a picture. Very yummy sweet cornbread! The patio is partially covered and dog friendly. THE RANCH is so good. It's the thick kind. My wrap was fine- the shrimp was good. The burger tastes pretty standard. The coleslaw is pretty good as well. It's about 20 degrees cooler in here than it is outside which is nice
We love Florida cracker, and this experience did not disappoint! We took our out-of-town guests here for lunch while we were walking around St Augustine. It was the perfect timing because it was not packed and we got a perfect table on their outdoor patio! I chose the fried green tomato BLT, our friends chose the fried shrimp, lunch, and the peel and eat shrimp. Both are absolutely fantastic! The batter on the fried shrimp was light and not too caked on, and the quality of both shrimps was extremely fresh. My fried green tomato BLT was absolutely mouthwatering! The batter on the fried green tomato was also light and it paired so well with the bacon and the fresh lettuce! I would absolutely order that again! Highly recommend!! This location is perfect for people with children because the outdoor patio is sectioned off to the side, it is also off the main area, and is spacious so if you have a mobile child, it is nice for them to be able to get up and move around!
The first time I ate here, it was on a weekend vacation to St. Augustine, coming up with Chops and Ufredo. It was one of many "unique" restaurants along the walkway in Old Town St. Augustine, and one I haven't eated at yet. Ergo, I voted for this place for dinner. Overall, it was okay. Firstly, the restaurant seems to have an ambiance of an open-air dive you'd see in Key West mixed in with the hacienda style best known in Spanish architecture. Ergo, a hybrid of styles that is distinctly Floridian. There was ample room for patrons to enjoy company and a bar for those who'd like some kind of spirit with their meals and/or apps. My crew and I sat at a table. Had the classic picnic table look and the chairs weren't that comfy, but they were functional. Food was satisfactory. I ordered the gator tail and conch fritters. I also had Minorcan soup with was the highlight dish for me. My friends had different styles of shrimp which they said were delicious too. For a $$ price tag of between $11 to $30, not bad at all. Where our initial visit shined positively in was service. Our servers were on par and admirable. Very friendly, kept our drinks filled, and even had some light conversation since we are technically tourists despite being Floridians. Compared to other restaurants along the Old St. Augustine town walkway, there are definitely better options for a higher price. But for the simple Floridian fare The Cracker Cafe serves at the price they offer it, you should surely stop by if you want a good meal on budget. On a sidenote, there are no "restaurant restrooms" and you'll need to go to the many restrooms strategically located along the walkway.
We went to St. Augustine to see the Nights of Lights. We only had a little bit of time for dinner before our trolley tour. We stopped in the Florida Cracker Cafe and were glad we did. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. We had plenty of time to spare to get to our trolley. We all enjoyed everything we ate. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas and Christmas music was playing so it added ambiance to our Christmas celebration. We will be back!
Sat outside on a beautiful day, fast service, delicious food. Ordered the fried green tomatoes appetizer special, burger , shrimp po boy, grilled cheese and tomato soup. The sides were excellent (French fries, cheesy grits, coleslaw and cucumber salad). Excellent, friendly service!
Stumbled into this place walking down St. George street in St. Augustine and was pleasantly surprised! The fried shrimp is a fresh and tasty as you'll find and the famous "pink sauce" to dip it in was incredible! Our server was so helpful and friendly. She's been working here 17 years! The cheese grits were as good as I've ever had! The atmosphere is cute and quaint. I'd eat here again in a heartbeat. They even home make several of their salad dressings.
This review is for the staff we interacted with and the atmosphere and drinks, we did not have any food. But what I can say about the food is every plate we saw walk by it came back to the kitchen empty. During a girl's trip to St. Augustine FL we found ourselves doing tourist stuff and came across the FL Cracker Cafe getting ready to open. We bellied up to the bar and asked if they'd be playing the FL gators game. They were casting it from YouTube off their phone so we knew we'd get to watch it. Out bartender Anthony was great. On the ball and attentive and made it a lot of fun to hang out there for a couple three hours. The kitchen has an open concept we're you can see the chef and his passing food through the window to the servers. "Ross, ready!" We heard that a bunch of times and Ross was super nice too. All and all we had a great time hanging out here in the heart of the tourist part of downtown.
Review: Gator bites, hummus, "Gator Bite" featured cocktail. Came here on a busy Friday afternoon and were sat right away. Server was prompt and super welcoming and wearing super fun skull socks. Ambiance is laid back and relaxed. Husband had the black bean hummus and the kiddo and I split the gator tail, his first time!! Husband really like the flavor and citrus undertones. It's mixed well and the salted kettle chips that are homemade really take it to the next flavor level. The gator bites were served with their own marmalade sauce, tasted like a sweet chili, and a side of lemon. Gator is usually chewy but they tenderized it nicely. The breading was not overly seasoned and the lemon with the marmalade hit it perfect. Their featured cocktail " The Gator Bite" is something I would make at home and really hides the vodka and moscato. Great for a hot day, will def visit again.
What a gem! This place is located right on St. George Street. Great area for outdoor dining but we didn't want to wait the 15 minutes to be seated there so opted for indoor dining. Our server Robbie was fantastic. So attentive to everything. We started with the Conch Fritters, the best I've ever had. Not rubbery like some. Fresh. We also started with the honey Datil glazed shrimp and grits. Outstanding! Robbie brought some extra sauce for us that I ended up buying. For our entree we chose the catch of the day platter which was Red rum fish that I'd never heard of but Robbie explained it and we got it. Fantastic. We got it blackened and it came with two sides. We got fries and pasta salad. Fries were great but pasta salad was bland. It didn't matter as everything else was awesome. Also very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Spent a week in St Augustine where it was very HOT, but snuck into this long-time great restaurant where it was COOL and the food was delicious!! I got fish tacos, which were absolutely fantastic! My sister got the burger and fries and loved every bite! We even had a $5 off coupon in the little tourist book, which helped! Definitely a favorite place to go when in town and shopping in St George Street! read more
A very nice casual stop for some yummy bites. We started with the famous St Augustine minorcan chowder which was very flavorful! The conch fritters were light and airy and not greasy at all. The buffalo shrimp had a light breading and were very good. Compliments to the hostess (Megan) and our server (Mandy) who both had delightful personalities! read more
Add this to your St. Augustine eating itinerary! Order the gator appetizer for big meaty bits of fresh flavorful gator tail. A long term favorite of my family, the restaurant serves seafood sandwiches, and other staples like burgers. They have some local beers from Jacksonville and Tampa. You can order wine. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. They have a solid kids menu. It's a dependably excellent way to satiate the hunger from sight seeing! read more

Love this place. After getting lost down the streets of St. Augustine we stopped here to grab a quick bite to eat. The food was phenomenal. I ordered the shrimp wrap and it tasted like ceviche in a wrap with red potato salad and pasta. Everything was delicious. Our server was quick and recommended the best meals here. The service is quick, we will definitely visit here again. read more

Took my sister to St. Augustine to have a walk around and just enjoy St. George street and the nearby shops. After walking a while we decided it was time for food so Florida Cracker was there and fit the bill. Both my sister and I decided on the shrimp and grits. Teen got a chicken dish. We opted for outdoor seating as we had our puppies with us, who were a hit with all of the staff. Shrimp and grits were served a bit differently than most. Shrimp was seasoned and on a skewer and served atop the grits. The grits were okay. Not as creamy as I would have liked, and needed some salt. Shrimp was well-cooked and plentiful. I had a side of red beans and rice that I found way too dry and did not suit my tastes. My sister on the other hand loved them. All in all kind of an expensive dinner in a touristy area. We've been here in the past and had mixed experiences as well, so next time may just have to go off the beaten path a bit to find a new spot. read more

We were searching for the place to have dinner with our dog after the rain. Most of dog friendly places closed outside for the prior rain. The lady who was standing at this place's entrance talked to us they have a patio which allows dogs, we checked the menu and confirmed they have seafoods, this is how we discovered this cozy restaurant. The waitress who took care of us was amazing- she is very friendly to us and our dog. We asked a few questions about the menu and ordered. Steamed shrimp as appetizer, very delicious- The side slaw was fresh and light. I had a today's catch, which was mahi mahi when we went there. Cooked with some southern spice, I loved the dish. You can choose the way of cooking fish (fried, broiled, blackened etc), I chosen blackened. Today's catch was MP but it was only around $18. Reasonable prices for everything. We were totally satisfied with everything here - great food with the warm welcome by the experienced staff. Highly recommended. read more

We were craving soup while taking a evening trip to St. Augustine. Walked by and put our names down for a table. 45min wait due to it being a Friday night and thanksgiving break and Covid. Haha. We ordered a bowl of the minorcan clam chowder and regular clam chowder. Also added an order of conch fritter. The fritters were ok. I have yet to find amazing conch fritters like you get from the Bahamas from a street vendor. The Minorcan chowder is tomato based. I liked the soup but I think a bowl was too much. Eventually I got tired of the flavors. The classic chowder was good. No complaint on the service. The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom is a shared public bathroom and wasn't very clean at all. read more
