When I tell you this is the best fried chicken ranch sandwich I've ever had, chicken was crispy,…read morejuicy and thick, bun was soft and fluffy, ranch was amazing, lettuce and tomato and the Swiss cheese pulled it all together. 10/10 Tater tots- were fresh with a good crisps on them. 9/10 Service was really good as always when I'm here and brought the food out to me again.

Very refreshing on a hot day. My son got a sprite. I enjoyed the crab cake sandwich, but my favorite were the sweet potato fries with this honey chipotle dipping sauce. Yummmmmmmm.

Get the sweet potato fries and the blueberry marg.

Looking for a fresh seafood restaurant with wild-caught shrimp and raw oysters near the beach?…read more Surprisingly, not this place. The name 'Turtle Shack' does not carry any significance. We did have clam chowder minus the clams and bits of potato normally found in most every clam chowder. It was essentially a milky broth. The fish sandwich was good. Our choice of Mahi was a nice-sized portion-control piece that had no doubt been purchased and delivered frozen, but to be fair was cooked to our liking. And it came with a large serving of crisp tasty fresh fries. The french dip sandwich was also pretty good. Plenty of shaved meat and a nice pineapple slaw side was more than enough to satisfy us. No complaints unless you thought clam chowder actually oughta have clam and potato in it, or if you were planning to enjoy fresh FL seafood at the 'Turtle Shack'. Instead, enjoy the burgers and the wings and the portion-control fish sandwich and the french dip and ignore the mis-leading name out front.

We had a delicious dinner at Hammock Grill. We are locals so we know the good places ! This place…read morenever disappoints. It was pretty full but we were greeted and sat at the bar. The food is always great I prefer seafood so I got the shrimp and grits sooooo delish. Our server was Ashley great service very attentive and knew the menu. Prices are very reasonable especially with the portions. My friend got the blackened fish (Trigger) the blackened seasoning is like nothing around not salty like many other places JUST RIGHT. We make this one of our regular choices when we do go out. Always great food and service.

The corn fritters with the raspberry glaze are an absolute must-order. The sweet glaze pairs perfectly with the crispy fritters, and I could easily eat them again and again. We also shared the gator tail appetizer, which was cooked perfectly and made a great starter. I ordered the seafood platter with flounder bites, clam strips, and shrimp. Everything was fresh, generously portioned, and cooked just right. My husband ordered the catfish and asked if they could prepare it blackened instead of fried. They were happy to accommodate, and it was an excellent choice, it was incredibly flavorful. The collard greens were another surprise favorite with their delicious, slightly sweet flavor. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and we loved that there was a live band playing outside in the back. It made for a great evening. The only small suggestion would be to do a little more mosquito control in the outdoor area. It is July in Florida, so the mosquitoes were pretty intense, but that's certainly not enough to keep us from coming back. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area. If you're looking for a great local spot with delicious seafood, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere, Hammock Grill is absolutely worth the visit!

Eclectic place with pretty good food…read more Mrs and I enjoyed dinner there recently. We shared the escargot and it was delicious. Mrs liked the lobster ravioli and I had a decent steak

**Where do I even begin?**…read more We were visiting from out of town and made a reservation based on the website, which looked like it promised a five-star dining experience with a side of class. Spoiler alert: the only thing five-star about this place was how fast we wanted to leave. The red flags started immediately. The "ambience" was giving post-hurricane garage sale. And then the owner--dressed like a retired Jersey Shore cast member with a sad top-knot ponytail clinging to its last follicle--yelled from across the bar, "Welcome to the best restaurant in the county!" That was the first of many lies. We were squeezed six people into a table for four, even though there were plenty of empty tables, which we assume were reserved for ghosts or maybe just the owner's ego. Alcohol selection? Oh, just the finest! We asked for the beer list and were told there were *two* options. When we inquired about wine, the sommelier (a.k.a. the same server who forgot napkins, silverware, and the will to live) said, and I quote, "Red or white." That's not a wine list--it's a personality test. We were handed four sticky, mismatched menus with half the items violently Sharpied out like they'd been caught cheating on a test. At this point, most people would've made a break for it, but not us! No, we stayed. Because we're the kind of people who touch the stove *twice* just to be sure it's hot. We ordered the ahi tuna, escargot, and baked brie. The tuna came out looking like four sad, paper-thin slices of regret. No seasoning. No garnish. Not even a pity drizzle of sauce. Just raw fish, alone on a plate, contemplating its life choices. It tasted like someone froze a fish stick in 1993 and just now remembered to serve it. The escargot? Imagine rubber bands soaked in lukewarm garlic water. Now imagine paying money for that. The baked brie? Honestly, I blacked out at that point so I can't even tell you. After this culinary fever dream, we signaled for the check. That's when the owner reappeared, pants unbuttoned (WHY?!), and said--and this is 100% real--"Did I pissed you off?" Sir, the only thing more offensive than your grammar is your restaurant. We smiled, nodded, and lied that we had somewhere else to be, mostly because we feared telling the truth would end in a full-blown Jersey brawl in the parking lot. Final verdict: Never going back. You shouldn't go either. Save yourself. Go eat a gas station hot dog. Trust me--it'll be better.

One Twenty Three Burger House is located just on the outskirts of the historic downtown area. My…read moredining companion and I have twice tried this restaurant in the last 12 months. The food has been excellent, but the service can be a little slow with respect to a server, greeting you at the table, bringing your beverages and checking back to bring the receipt. On both of us that we had to ask for a receipt I would've thought the empty plates would've been enough of a signal. We usually pay in cash, so needing change is not necessary because we combine it with the tip. But if we need a change, I'm not sure we would see the server in swift fashion. The burgers are absolutely delicious. They definitely cook them to order, and the resulting product is juicy and satisfying. The french fries are crispy and plentiful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this, but I would say leave yourself plenty of time because it may take a while.

I downloaded the app (Clover) which was awesome!!…read more Through Clover you can order your food and customize your order, place order and pay for your order, which I did! I placed order when we got there since we were looking for an empty table outside and luckily both tables were empty. After I placed order the app said pick up in 20 minutes, which we ordered a single WHAAM burger with American cheese, onions, tomato, pickles and WHAAM sauce with tater tots. My husband ordered 2 double hamburgers with ATW and jalapeños. My burger was great!! As was the crispy tater tots!! My husband said his burgers were good and very juicy! Next time we will come back after the pier is done, great view of the ocean but very noisy and that was at dinner time.

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!

You can dine inside at one of six tables or outside on their massive patio with views of the Matanzas River. 10/10. Great staff. Great food. You've got to go. #foodtrip #bbq #topdown

We wanted to really like this place and had high hopes due to the other reviews but brisket was a little on the dry side and the burnt ends were a bit hard and fatty. The best thing was the tangy mustard sauce. Big open screened are in back overlooking the water. Noise level not too bad. We were hoping for better but glad we stopped to try it.

The bar meanwhile was completely open and it is seat yourself. We both ordered chicken wings, extra crunchy with the whiskey rub on them. The rub is a little sweet, but we requested them to hit it lightly so that we didn't have as much sweetness on the wings. We also got an order of the pork rinds which are cooked fresh and you can ask for a dusting of the whiskey rub on those as well. They were very good, but they are a large order so definitely be prepared to share. I also got a cup of their beer cheese soup - I would not order it again. The texture was a little off for me and it felt like it was probably at the bottom of the cooker. The first bartender we had was OK, but felt like he was just going through the motions. The second bartender that took over our service was much friendlier and checked in on us periodically.

This time we didn't have food. Just drinks. I tried a Goodbye Earl. If earl grey is involved, I'm in! It was quite good. The lemon was the heaviest flavor. I would have liked it even more if the earl grey shined thru a little more. My friend had the Madi Cola which was also good. A little too sweet for my palate but it was good! The vanilla rum was great in there. It was interesting on this trip because it was the middle of a weekday. It wasn't too packed but still bustling. The place does really have a bit of a speakeasy feel and they often have live music if that's your thing.
