The hubs & I first purchased our 4x4 vehicle permit at Vilano Beach, expecting miles & miles of sand to tear up.. we were met with less than a mile stretch of beach which was popular for fishing but not for off-roading or sun bathing. The attendant was nice enough to recommend we head to Anastasia Island which was a God send. The permit which cost $10 was good at any St. John's county beach access for the day. We stumbled upon Crescent Beach (on A Island) & conveniently found Barney's Beach Service 904-461-1422 and rented out an umbrella and 2 chairs ($50 from 10-4pm) The weather was perfect: a couple clouds spread across the sky, a cool 77 degree water temperature made it all the more easier to bask in the sun. And the sand was off white & powdery to the touch. I couldn't help but notice how peaceful the atmosphere was here. This trip ended up being just what the doctor ordered.

I did try half of one, yes, I said half a piece of shrimp. That is how large they are. Our waitress, Diane took care of us like we were family. Actually, she appeared to treat everyone that way! I loved the decor, and did I mention how great the entire staff was?? Despite the long line, but little wait time, this restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine.

Awesome side salad! - no iceberg - fresh spring mix type lettuce, onions, Pepperoncinis, diced tomatoes, etc. good blue cheese dressing. The fish of the day Rueben was excellent! Very much upgraded over a typical fish Ruebens in the past. The veggie side was excellent - perfect done and seasoned nicely.

The cornbread was so delicious my guests thought it tasted like desert! And I have to know who made the key lime pie! Best key lime that I've had locally! Both were such a fantastic compliment to our meal! I would give more than five stars if I could!

The restaurant is old Florida style, not a fancy place. But we like the charms of this place. Lots of outdoor seating, perfect if you come with your fur baby. Oh, they even have doggy menu, how thoughtful! The service was good. We asked for a to go cup for unsweet tea, the waitress gave us a fresh cup! Oh, you pay less if you pay in cash!

I was blessed to meet her at her warehouse during the SUPER SCENIC 150 MILE GARAGE SALE event on 11/15/25. I bought so many treasures! The staff here at this venue was the most valuable treasure find!! Tom in his bright yellow t-shirt and even brighter happy Spirit welcomed us from the parking lot and showed us all the many seating options. There's a huge inside dining area, a counter top eating area, a huge sports bar seating area upstairs, and a huge outdoor seating area... dog friendly patio complete with water bowls. We enjoyed the perfect outdoor weather and sat in the warm sun. Nikki was tasked with keepin' us between the navigational lines here on our first visit. She is amazing, kind, personable, and genuine! She gave us TLC and made sure we had a wonderful experience. A cold Yuengling and a Guinness to wet whistle and cruise us into as we had a generous portion of golden brown conch fritters and a bowl of hearty clam chowder. Yumm! Then I had peel and eat shrimp! They were big and sweet! So Perfect that even Bubba Gump would have approved! I had a side of cheesy grits!! ProHubby had a blackened fish sandwich! It was masterfully prepared and so well balanced! We were so full, but Nikki was accommodating me with helping by not letting me pass -up taking a piece of homemade key lime pie! Which was a hit!! My husband is from Florida and this pie is legit! We were informed about the Saturday garage sale by the accountant. We also had a cool discussion with her about the upcoming Thanksgiving buffet. They have already had a lot of response and they are excited about this first time celebration with the community. This will definitely help with the need for this type of opportunity to gather. The next morning we camp for breakfast and the garage sale. Nikki told us that several breakfast/brunch items are available until 2pm almost every day. That is cool to have that option! This morning we were again greeted by the amazing Tom and since we brought our big cane corso we enjoyed the patio again. Tom gave her a dog treat and a water bowl. She loved it! We were taken care of by the Joelie. She was warm, happy, professional, and attentive. I of course had to order biscuits and gravy ... yummy biscuits and sausage gravy and I ordered a side of savory links! Hubby had awesome steak and eggs and grits!!! The were easily consumed!!! Generous portions! The coffee was great!! The even have a Dog Menu!!!! We ordered our Belle a beef patty and an extra biscuit!!! She made fast work of it and devoured it!!! Two paws up to the chef!!! I was able to get a good morning hug from Nikki who was busy inside with all her happy patrons!!! This is going to be a regular spot for us it appears! Tom even said, " We will see you again, right?" Yes, Tom, we look forward to our next visit :)
