Our experience here was so great that we returned the following night! After arriving to St. Augustine, we decided to visit Sarbez as an option to get a quick dinner and also have some fun before heading back to our AirBnB. Our highlights include: - The ability to create customized grilled cheese sandwiches with tons of options to choose from. (And they were quite delicious) - The atmosphere and environment. - The firm stance in letting people know that ALL are welcome, and hatred of any kind would not be tolerated. No excuses. - Many gaming options in multiple rooms. - Being open late enough for us to return for a second visit after an evening concert at the ampitheatre. read more

Stopped by Sarbez while in town for the Fort Mose Jazz and Blues Series, and this spot was such a vibe. I went with the Hashton Kutcher and wow. This grilled cheese is stacked with cheddar, sausage, a fried egg, crispy hash browns, and their spicy mayo. It is hearty, rich, and packed with flavor in every bite. Comfort food done right and then taken up a notch. They also have a solid cider lineup. I tried the Cider Boys Strawberry and it was crisp, refreshing, and a perfect match with the sandwich. Add in classic arcade games and a laid back atmosphere, and Sarbez! easily becomes a must stop when you are in St Augustine. Great food, fun drinks, and good energy all around. read more

Listen, I think this is such a fun place, but you took the quarter game away! The one where it pushes quarters off the edge to win prizes/money. That was literally the best game in the place! I really like the food and the atmosphere is fun, but without that game, the motivation to drive from Jax to visit just won't be there anymore. I'm sure the decision was made for a good reason but it's sad! read more

Fun little spot. Arcade inside. Full house when we went in. Prices were fair, big menu. I ordered 6 grilled cheeses each came with a bag of chips. I also got 6 drinks 2 of the kombucha on tap which were Blood Orange. My total was $101. Which was wild I honestly expected it to be more, regardless it was great service, delicous food as we all ate everything. The only grilled cheese that came home was from my 5 year old. Inside has plenty of seating, and the kombucha was perfect. Great spot! read more

The food was delicious and served steaming hot. The bartender who took our orders was attentive and friendly. I ordered the turkey melt and my bf got the hashton Kutcher and holy hell were they delicious. I imagined feeling gross after eating something airing on the side of comfort, but nope, went down the hatch and left me feeling good and ready to trek around st Augustine. If you're in the area, definitely give it a shot. read more

We're so thankful we stumbled upon this place! We easily lost hours in here playing all the games, soaking in all the surroundings. Every corner you come around is another dopamine decor dose. We each got a grilled cheese and were shook by how insanely good they were. We would have went here every night had we not found it on our final one. Westley the bartender was awesome as well! read more

Absolutely love this place!! Not only do they have a great selection of beer, but their grilled cheeses are AMAZING! Easily the best grilled cheese I've ever had! There are so many awesome and nostalgic games here - we were shocked at how big the place was! They have machines to get change for quarters, most games are $1. They also had live music which was fun. There's so much to do here and we had a great time! The decorations were also so fun and unique, this is a must-go spot in St Augustine! read more

Sarbez is such a fun place! Great anytime but especially if you need some time inside away from the heat or something for the kids to be entertained with if it's raining! Such a fun atmosphere and just filled with great nostalgic decor! Staff are always pleasant and the food comes out so fast! Our kids had such a blast playing video games while we waited! I love just the laid back atmosphere! It's perfect in our little beach town! Sandwiches are always delicious and filled with flavor! read more

Best way to spend a rainy evening! We had so much fun playing pinball, Mario kart, and other games. The games mostly cost $1 and there are plenty of change machines and ATMs. They have a diverse selection of beers as well as alternatives like cider and mead at reasonable prices. My fiance had the Philly Grilly and I had a custom vegan grilled cheese with tempeh and we both loved our food. The sarbez sauce is a must! The decor is fun and unique and there are so many games to choose from. On a busy night you might have to pay to park but it's worth it. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful too. Can't wait to come back on our next visit! read more

Sarbez - Turkey and bacon with mozzarella cheese and SS sauce! - Cafes Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Fun place to hang out with or without the kids! We definitely all had a great time with one other family one Friday night. Kids were off spending tons of money on the games while the parents hung out, drinking their cider/beer/wine. Games were all in good condition and good working order. Just remember to bring hand sanitizer. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean which I was thankful for. Friendly service at the counter where you place food and drink orders. Food options are mainly a variety of grilled cheese which were all done really well. I had the hashton Kutcher which tasted great but was so greasy. I realize there's no way around that considering what's in it but I would never go for that again. Keep in mind you will be kicked out at like 8PM if you are there with kids. It turns into 18+ only after that and then 21+ only after 10? I believe. This is written on 1 of the boards and they will enforce it. read more

Four of us went in for an early dinner and ordered our special grilled cheese, but it turned out that all four of them were dripping in some sort of grease from the grill. It was a terrible experience. Maybe if they clean the grill every now and then it might've been better but it was not good at all my hands and in some kind of oily grease read more

Apart from the really great grilled cheese sandwiches, home made mustard and spicy mayo, great service and amazing range of local beers.... There's the huge assortment of video games going all the way back to pacman and galaxa, the room full of pinball machines, good music, fun and helpful staff.. It's unique. Driving past I didn't give it a second look, but a helpful barmaid pointed me at it. I would have hated to have missed it. read more

During our visit to St. Augustine we got so lucky to pass by this place. We almost left since I'm not the biggest grilled cheese fan but thank goodness we didn't. It was the most incredible sandwich I had ever tried. The guy at the bar was patient friendly and helpful. The ambiance tops it off with the fun and unique selection.

Stayed at a nearby hotel and walked to the restaurant on 10 JUN 25. First thing we noticed was 'glad we walked' because there's really no parking. Ordered a turkey and gouda grilled cheese on rye. Each piece of the rye bread was about 1/4" thick and quite good. However, they skimp royally on fillings - minimal cheese and ONE SLICE of turkey!! It was the equivalent of the pre-packaged turkey you get in the grocery store plastic container. Again - ONE slice. I took my sandwich apart and folded all ingredients on to one side so I could have a decent sandwich. It came with a bag of chips and you have to ask for a pickle - which I did, but did not receive. Selection of local beer available. They have to do better, but you can to - walk over the bridge to the Grilled Cheese shop near the Cathedral! read more

This is the best little dive bar around and they specialize in a grilled cheese sandwich! It doesn't get much better than that! We originally found this arcade bar on Yelp with its amazing reviews. I was more impressed with their sandwiches than I was with all the arcade games. There's games everywhere! A couple different rooms with all kinds of arcade games including a giant Pac-Man, basketball, skeeball, pinball, etc. We walked up to the front counter and ordered 2 grilled cheese special sandwiches. These are not just bread and cheese! The first one we ordered was a Philly Grilled Cheese which included meat, cheese, peppers and onions. The second one we ordered had Mango and Avocado!! It was delicious!! This dive bar is open to people of all ages during the day and has age restrictions at night. I'd definitely recommend trying out this bar especially if you're from out of town. It's something you've never seen before! read more

An easy to digest place with something for everyone. Grilled cheeses are amazing, I always get the Hashton Kutcher with bacon and gouda. I'm not much of a drinker but often enough they have one of the few drinks I do like, that being the Bee Nectar Zombie Killer, it's a mead and it's delicious. Bartenders are always attentive and nice. The place has a nice collage of artworks and different aesthetics going on and has plenty of places to get away from the noise and enjoy yourself. The arcade is good fun and has plenty of variety from pinball to Mario Kart to shooters. When I wind up going out with friends/coworkers when they're wanting a drink, I always suggest Sarbez. read more

So fun! Very unique place and well worth checking out!! Food and service were great!

Before you go, understand that there is very very little parking. This, and staff attitude, were so problematic that I left. Upon arrival, I drove around the block twice and only one side of the building has any spaces, maybe 6-8 cars? I called them for info on where to park. The man who answered said there was "parking on the other side". I clarified he meant the other side of their building? "No not the other side of the building" ...and then no further explanation. I was like "Um not sure what that means?" The noise volume on his end was bad, and it definitely felt like he really wasn't interested in helping and seemed rushed to get off the phone. He said "good luck" before he hung up. Drove around again. It appeared that across the street they used spaces from another business because several people parked there and crossed the street for Sarbez. Zero signage to explain any of this is permitted, so who knows if they got towed? Just as I was about to get the last spot, some d$ck very belligerently and dangerously cut me off and stole it, then ignored me and got out to walk into Sarbez as I sat there. The vibe I got was that no one at the restaurant can/will help with the awful parking, regulars know that and will fight you to get a last spot, and they do this because you most likely will get ticketed or towed anywhere else, with residences surrounding the restaurant. I called again to ask what the local street parking rules were because again, no signage anywhere. This time no answer. I was literally idling outside the door and saw a male employee walk outside for a break, so I presume this was the former phone-answerer? I live parked and ran in to ask for help. Not a sole employee in there aside from one bartender who was helping people, then disappeared as I approached. People were just seating themselves, wandering around, or sitting at the bar. I took some pictures, still not one single employee. I'd walked past the guy on break but he didn't come in at any time to help the chaos. 5:15pm isn't really the time to take a break in the restaurant biz. I could have interrupted his break but didn't want to be disrespectful of his time, and when I passed him I fully expected at least ONE employee to be inside. Honestly no one there had an approachable vibe, and I had my preschooler with me so despite the game-and-grilled cheese ambiance, the all-adult crowd and "don't do coke in the bathroom" neon sign, paired with unavailable staff, just told me to "get out". So we left. We went to Grilled Cheese Gallery in downtown St. Augustine (where we'd been a couple years ago), and the attitude there was so welcoming and helpful; 180 degrees different from the cold "every man for himself" barn atmosphere at Sarbez. read more

ARCADE: The arcade is great! I do wish that their pinball machines were linked up to SternInsider. It's sad to have the machines that have the ability to link, but the machines not be connected. I would 1000% say that if the machines were connected to SternInsider, that they would get more business on the pinball machines alone. @Sarbez: Since you have the machines to connect to SternInsider, link your machines for full capacity and I will update my review to five stars!! BAR / FOOD: Absolutely LOVE the selections here. Great on tap choices and constantly updating the taps Grilled cheeses are really good! You can even build your own if none of the OGs are not cutting it. read more

The grilled cheeses alone will keep me coming back my only suggestion is to add one with onions and peppers! We got 3 and shared them all and omg never In my life was I so satisfied Over a grilled cheese.. but let me tell you these are not just your regular grilled cheeses.. they are way funkier and I mean that in the highest compliment possible. Seriously go by and try this place. The layout of this place is a stage in the front. During designated nights of the weeks they have planned live bands. We came her with my friend to see her cousins band play. They were great, and the bands following them were too so it was a really fun night. The back of the house is a arcade, how fun!! After we listened to music we went back and played a couple of games before we left. The beer was good and the servers were really nice! I can't wait to try another grilled cheese the next time I come back!!! read more
