We've lived in St Aug for 5+ years. This OC's was one of the first places we went and it was not a good experience. 5 years later we thought we'd give them another chance. Never again. The patio was half full but they refused to sit us outside. It was overcast so we weren't too discouraged. They sat us upstairs at 728P on a Friday. We didn't get our entrees until 832P. Waiting over an hour for entrees when didn't order appetizers and the dining room is half empty is absurd. If we weren't so hungry we would have got up and left around 8P. read more

Food was delicious. Quiet while we were there which is nice so you can talk to your company. Server was pretty good.

Good service. Nice location and vibe , but that's it. $28 for 2 small fish and about 12 fries with the fish and chips. Lemon chicken $18 for a tiny 4oz breast. Kids grilled chicken $8 for about a 4oz pre grilled (and probably microwaved) with side of canned mandarin oranges. Calamari app was ok, $19 fish Tacos were blah... $105 for 4 people a bit much for cafeteria level food. read more

The location is undeniably great, and our wait staff was kind and attentive. That said, the food was bad enough to make the good parts of the restaurant not worth it. I hope they can improve on what comes out of the kitchen because it has everything else going for it. read more

The OC White restaurant is amazing for food, service, ambience, and private parties. Celebrated the bridal brunch here while we all flew into town. The accommodations and location are fantastic, along with the food. The wedding planner picked amazing locations for the bridal party to celebrate my besties destination wedding in Florida. If you're local or looking for eateries that host and accommodate private parties, this may be your spot! read more

Worst calamari ever. Dry, as if they had been fried and then reheated. Worst thing was that we were told that is the way they were. Very nice waiters, though. The clam chowder was decent. read more

One of my favorite restaurants to eat at when visiting St. Augustine. The food is always good and I enjoy the outdoor seating with live music. I also love Sunday brunch :) read more

The food was subpar. The crabcakes were disguising. It was soft and mushy and not edible the mashed potatoes were gray, and the mahi was dry. I think the only way they have customers is because they are tourist who have never been there. They have a nice location. I am Pretty sure they would not have repeat customers read more

Great food and great service even on a holiday weekend! We will return again on our next trip to St Augustine.

Had a great meal with a few friends the other night. Food was really good and our waiter " Julian" was exceptional . read more

Back again. Steps from Journey our boat. I asked for a warm seat and they set us next to the fireplace. Talk about service Peggy ordered the coconut shrimp. I order the salmon read more

This place is a bit of a hot mess. We had a dinner reservation for 8 PM at another restaurant but needed a quick snack around six. we went to the host stand and the man was planning to see us, but then another lady came up and said the kitchen is backed up and no more orders for 30 minutes so no table for us. They took our name and we sat at the bar. My husband was able to order french fries. They came out really fast. we sat here for about an hour and they never called us for a table. Luckily, we did have a reservation somewhere else. The fries were good, but nothing special. There was only two bartenders for the entire restaurant and they were pretty busy. read more

Lovely outdoor dining and great location. Service and food were very good and definitely recommend.

We went here for my wife's birthday lunch. We live in St Augustine and always wanted to try it. Sat inside on a hot day. Great service by Robert our waiter. Delicious chowder and fresh fish. Pricey but delicious. We will be back. read more

The good and the service. I ordered the blue crab cakes for dinner and one of them had a minnow cooked into it. I also ordered grits, thank God they were good because I really wanted some sugar and milk or cream with them but never could get my waiters Attention. We had told him when we sat down that we were excitedly celebrating my birthday and I was turning 65! He didn't make a big deal of it, I told him I don't drink much so could you recommend something. He recommended the blackberry lemonade which was like drinking a fruit punch. After dinner was over it was clear there was going to be no cake or celebrating. Actually he told us to go down the street to the donut shop and get donuts because they were so much better than what they had there read more

What a terrible experience. Let me start with the good. Ok, all done. Now the bad. A 30+ minute wait for a table, so we stopped at the bar. I order an old fashioned. Certainly the worst old fashioned I've ever had. Tried to switch over to a beer, but the 2 bartenders were just joking around with each other and couldn't get them to help us. Hey, manager/owner - these 2 are costing you $$$ by not wanting to sell drinks. Finally got ones attention, and she said she was busy doing an inventory (at 6PM on a Saturday??!!??) so we could "have our booze." Again, costing the owner $$. Finally seated at a table outside and we waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, we had enough and left for another place nearby. I have no idea why anyone would come here. read more

Was in town last minute and didn't have time to make a reservation so we sat at the bar with lovely patrons all around us. I loved the short rib! read more

The worst experience ever. i can only imagine the cook with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth and stomach hanging out of his dirty t-shirt. The appetizer that I ordered dripped over the edges with only half left in the bowl. The barmaids don't pay attention to your drink, sitting at the bar doesn't guarantee that they will pour you a drink. worst food ever. So tired of every restaurant in Florida treating everyone like a tourist. If you can't serve edible food get out of the business. Frozen fish and sloppy service is not making Florida a popular choice. read more

Stopped in for late lunch with my wife and kids. The service was good and the food was better. I got the Kauhi Mahi with cod fish and the mango pineapple salsa. It was served on a bed of rice with asparagus. It was very good. The fish was perfectly matched with the mango salsa and tasted excellent. The asparagus was done to perfection not overcooked and slimy. All in all great stop, very fresh tasting and good meal. read more

Best seafood dinner I have ever had! Plenty of food and prepared amazingly. The crab cakes are a must try, the best hands down I've ever eaten. Great location that has both outdoor seating with bay views and two stories inside. Rumor has it the house may be haunted read more

The service was good, we sat outside they had a live band. The salmon was delicious the rice was kinda hard it happens doesn't take away how good the food was, not pictured was the crab dip and the salads. If you like to drink their mojitos and espresso martinis are delicious. read more

For a seafood restaurant the food is subpar. The only thing to order from the menu would be one of the shrimp items. The crab cakes were poorer the price. The crab clearly came out of a can and was augmented by too much filling. The service was good to a point with a young server who was clearly overwhelmed because it was a very busy night. The ambience is relaxed and friendly and informal. read more

Excellent service with a polite and understanding staff. We had reservations but when the hostess went to seat us at the table she thought she available for us, there was a woman seated there by herself, clearly done with dinner, drinking water and playing with her phone. Meanwhile, every table was full and they were people like us waiting. She sat there for an additional 20 minutes while we waited. Yet the staff refused to chase her off, mostly because they were worried about her giving them a bad review. It's a sad state of affairs when inconsiderate and rude guests overstay their welcome at the busiest time of the evening. We were eventually seated when she finally left and had good service and good food. Many thanks to the hostess for doing her best to satisfy us without annoying the other customer. read more

The patio is gorgeous and service was quick and pleasant. Food was just okay. Grits in the shrimp and grits were fantastic but shrimp were just meh. We also got a spinach and shrimp omelette which only had 1 shrimp on top as decoration. There were no shrimp inside the omelette or anywhere else on the plate. We told the manager when she asked how things were but she only responded with them having a new chef. Maybe go for the view and a cocktail and skip the meal. read more

Lovely day for eating outside. We were very pleased with the food we ordered at brunch. My husband ordered a $6 spicy Bloody Mary and I got a drink off the regular menu. Hubs ordered a crab cake sandwich and I got the shrimp and grits. Both things were delicious. Definitely recommend going here if you're visiting the city. read more

Charming restaurant that offers Al fresco dining in the courtyard. The service was quick and pleasant. The fish was fresh and flaky. I recommend switching to a brioche bun for the sandwiches. My little guy who ordered ofc the kids menu was not impressed with his bacon cheeseburger because the bacon looked like bacon bits. He was really looking forward to a couple strips. I would visit again. read more

Went there as college students on spring break and it was the best food we had all week. We sat on the patio and the view and vibes were amazing. Weird looks from other customers as college students because I suppose it was more of an adult establishment but we'd go back for sure. I got the fresh caught Mahi and would recommend. read more

Updated 05/26/22 It been a while since visiting St. Augustine. But just had to revisit O.C. White's, in the Historic District, have a wonderful dinner and update my review. I love what they do with their cocktails, very creative and so delicious. The Bimini Breeze and the Wicked Bikini Martini we're so refreshing. For starters the Crab/spinach dip and the seafood ball was fresh and tasty. The Dutch Garlic Sauté w/chicken was excellent. Tender chicken with lots of flavor. And the Worth Bowl, what can I say except colorful, delicious and highly recommend. Sorry but no room for dessert after this delightful experience. Lol read more

First time here but won't be our last! Everything was great! The service was spot on! (Thank you Madison!). The whole atmosphere was very laid back and comfortable, very relaxing. We split a crab cake as an appetizer & it was wonderful! No fillers in sight, just lots of yummy crab meat. Very very good! For entrees we had the fried shrimp, crispy & delicious, and the "Crabby Catch of the Day" which was grouper topped with crab meat & a creamy sun dried tomato sauce. It was truly divine! Also if note was a delicious & refreshing cocktail called the Banana Cabana. It was a mix of pina colada, Kahlua, and bananas. In addition, there was live entertainment that was equally relaxing. Great place! read more

I had high hopes for this place but I'm never coming back. The hostess, who was an older white lady with short hair, was very rude to us. First, she completely ignored us when we first stood at the hostess stand and then she refused to call our party by name; she just asked if anyone wanted to sit at the section of the restaurant we had asked for. The women's bathroom has a very distasteful sign on the door that says "Wenches". We don't appreciate being referred to as prostitutes, even if it's supposed to be taken as a joke. These two things made us want to walk out and eat else where but we had driven all the way from Orlando to try OC Whites. The food is just ok, there "Famous" Clam Chowder has a metallic taste. I've had better soup at Panera. The Crab Cake tastes like it was previously frozen. The only good thing we really enjoyed was the Key Lime Pie. Definitely more of a place for older folks. It is reminiscent of a nursing home. Unless you find that ambiance relaxing, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

When in St A your opportunities for incredible food can be found in so many locations! As locals, we can get spoiled - but, you can never go wrong with lunch at OC White's ... the patio, the porch, the inside, the upstairs - it's a phenomenal part of the landscape of St A ... and enjoys private parking and harbor views. Today, our server Katelynn did a great job taking care of us and getting our order in and out - timing could've been a little better - apps and entrée at the same time - but that's not a big deal! Definitely recommend them! read more

Went to dinner at OC White's restaurant. I love the atmosphere there. There is outdoor seating but we decided to sit inside due to inclement weather. The doors were open and humidity did make an impact on us as the A/C duct had condensation dripping on our heads. We moved the table a bit and we were fine. Our server was wonderful as she had a great sense of humor. She was prompted and efficient. Our calamari was served swiftly but it was stone cold. The marinara was piping hot. From the looks of the fried shrimp I could tell they were delicious and I was told they were. My Parmesan crusted flounder was very dry so I ate the broccoli. Next time we come I'll be sure to get the fried shrimp and sit outside. read more

Amazing food and good service! Everything was delicious - we got the New England Clam Chowder, a couple of salads (one with grilled shrimp), and the golden fried shrimp. For both shrimp dishes, the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Our mixed drinks were good too (Passionfruit Mojito and Blackbeard Berry Lemonade). Overall, a really great experience! read more

We say outside on a hot Saturday and loved the fans blowing everywhere to keep the air flow. The pina colada virgin was $6 expensive but delicious. I got the rock fish sandwich which was enormous and only half fit on the bun. My hubby got the burger and it was cooked perfectly. Our server was amazing despite having a lot of tables. read more
