    An old time favorite, Schooners never disappoints. My favorite dish is the Italian breaded pork chop. It's a moist chop surrounded encased in a golden brown breading. The side choices are always fresh and reminds me of grandma's comfort food. My DIL had the trigger fish and she raved on how tasty and delicious it was. Thanks to our wonderful waitress who gave us all we needed. The vintage fishing photos and fishing decor give this place a local St Augustine feel. It's always good and I'm definitely returning!

    One of the better keylime pies I've had this trip

    Nice little seafood restaurant. More a family and little old folks type place. Food was solid decor was what you would expect. Service was prompt and efficient. My glass was kept full. I had the conch fritters and the fried seafood platter as well as the keylime pie... currently trying to remember which side arm pain indicates a heart attack but not their fault I'm on a seafood bender. Price was as expected for seafood in a beach town. No complaints.

    The food is great and all fresh I love the sides service is great and pretty fast. The ambiance is pretty casual but clean and nice.

    Seafood platter with the spinach surprise.
    Janet T.

    We drove in from Virginia and we were starving so we stopped here. Everyone was super friendly and the place was clean. The starter salad was GREAT and that was the beginning and end of greatness. We had the fried seafood platter. I had beets which were out of the can. They highly recommended the spinach side which seemed to be canned spinach with noodles... no thanks. The scallops were good. The rest of the meal lacked seasoning. I wish we had checked Yelp before going because honestly I would have preferred McDonalds more.

    Seafood Broiled Trio
    Deb T.

    First visit and it was tasty. First the service was impeccable. Friendly from the moment you walked in. Lovely waitress. Had the broiled fish trio. Mahi mahi was perfection. Scallops were good. I like more of a sear. Shrimp was watery and squishy...not pleasing to the palate. Coleslaw and red potato sides were quite yummy. Hush puppies were just not good. Couldn't really pinpoint what was wrong. Overall a delightful seafood experience. Ambiance was clean and respectful. You'll need a jacket as the AC works extremely well.

    Captain's Platter For 2. Includes 2 coleslaws plus 4 individual sides. Enough for 3 people, possibly 4.

    Great service from Savannah. Closer to a 4 for overall experience but food was a little lacking. Fries were perfectly crispy but they use a generic ketchup which is a downer. We really liked their hush puppies as they were light and fluffy. Beyond that, food is fairly mid and I agree with others about being under-seasoned. They rely on sauces for flavor which I guess is ok as long as you understand that going in. Makes it easier to be neutral to accommodate different people's tastebuds. Our platter for 2 was enough for 3 and quite possibly 4. It included 2 portions of fish, about 6 each of shrimp, scallops, and oysters along with clam strips. It also included 2 coleslaws OR 2 salads plus 4 individual sides. All that for $35!! Portions are huge and a great value overall.

    This is a sign you need fried shrimp and pink sauce.

    We've been coming to Schooner's for decades. As prices go up this has become one of the most affordable places to dine in St. Augustine. The early bird deal on 12 fried shrimp that ends at 6 p.m. is a bargain and it's our favorite item on the menu. For this visit three of us had that, a fourth the blackened shrimp and the fifth chicken strips. Service was prompt and attentive. The fried shrimp was great as always, chicken strips extra crispy as requested and the blackened shrimp I sampled was so good I might get it next time. Who am I kidding? I will always get the fried shrimp.

The food is consistently delicious, it really lives up to the hype. Definitely a must-visit if you're in St. Augustine, especially if you're in the mood for flavorful, New Orleans-style seafood dishes. The outdoor setup is a big part of what makes it so enjoyable. It's a really comfortable and well-done space with a great atmosphere, laid-back and yet still lively. They've got heaters going when it's chilly and umbrellas for when the sun gets a little intense, so it's a solid spot no matter the weather. On our most recent visit, our server Jesse was super helpful and made sure everything ran smoothly. He checked in at the right times, had great recommendations, and really added to the overall experience. All around, it's one of those places that's easy to recommend. Great food, great vibe, and solid service, definitely worth checking out.

    Catch 27 - St. Augustine, FL…read more Came to St. Augustine with a group and Catch 27 was suggested for dinner. Great choice. I checked the Yelp reviews ahead of time and it definitely lived up to them. People in our group started with drinks and everyone at the table seemed happy with what they ordered. I had the red wine braised beef brisket for my main and it was excellent, very tender and full of flavor. My friend Damon next to me had the red snapper and I tried some of that too. Also very good. Someone else at the table had the Rockefeller crusted snapper and that looked and tasted great as well. For appetizers, I had the shaved pear and blue cheese salad. It was really good and honestly enough for two people to share as an appetizer. People at the table also ordered the Devils on Horseback and liked them. I do not eat bacon, but they were happy with that dish. The deviled eggs with southern fried oysters looked really good, and I had the smoked salmon spread, which was very good too. I also saw the shrimp and grits come out for someone else and that dish looked excellent. For dessert, I had the sticky toffee pudding and it was a strong finish to the meal. Others at the table ordered the seasonal crème brûlée, which was chocolate that night. It looked great and everyone who had it said it was very good. Sunny was our waitress and she did an exceptional job. Attentive, kind, and on top of everything the whole night. In my mind this is about a 4.7 star experience, and I am rounding it up to a full 5 stars. Catch 27 is a great choice in St. Augustine.

There was no one at hostess stand because system was down and they were having troubles which I felt bad for the hostess who seemed stressed on obviously a busy night.

I ordered a sangria but our drinks took a very long time to come out, after our appetizer (crab, an heirloom tomato bruschetta which was yummy and more filling than regular bruschetta!) Overall, the food was really good and waitress was nice, but water was never refilled and everything took a really long time to come out. Would love to try it again on a regular night and hopefully they have the entrees we wanted to try:)

Our entrees were the beet salad and tuna poke bowl, which were both pretty good, but my wife complained about the abundance of candied nuts in the beet salad. The entertainment was meh. The manager was constantly petting the house kitty cat and then handling food, drinks and shaking customer hands. Seemed odd. Their sushi chef recently passed away so nothing related to sushi on the menu was available made to order. The place just needs proper leadership and could be a much more enjoyable experience in a town with few options on the water.
