Service was very quick and the staff was nice! Everything was surprisingly cheap and tasted AMAZING!! We got the crab cocktail and were flabbergasted to see the amount of crab for such a low price!! It's very cozy and not too loud. Definitely worth visiting! read more

Good food at reasonable prices and big portions. My wife and I really could have shared the combo platter for one instead of the two we bought. read more

Seafood Kitchen - St. Augustine - Combo for two. A LOT of food. - Seafood Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

First let me say, we haven't had a bad meal since coming to Saint Augustine but I do want to say, I might have just had the best shrimp of my life. Our waitress was Jenny and she was absolutely wonderful. I got the fried shrimp and soft shell crab combo and Jenny informed me they had collards and claimed they were some of the best she'd ever tasted. I was skeptical at first. Not gonna lie. And you know who else didn't lie? Jenny. Those were undoubtedly the best restaurant collards I've ever had. Period. Jenny and I bonded over those greens. My husband had the soft shell crab and fried oyster combo and he was also very happy with his choices. Coleslaw was great. Fries were great. I cannot find one negative thing about this place and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants great seafood at a very affordable price. Portions were huge for the money also. read more

This is a great little local spot that is mostly filled with townies. It's not on the water, but rather in a strip mall. There aren't tropical cocktails, but you can get everyday beer and wine. But there are two reasons to come to Seafood Kitchen: - Conch Fritters - Fried Shrimp Yes, you can get conch fritters and fried shrimp virtually anywhere in this town, but the conch fritters here are especially good. Well fried with a crisp exterior, well drained and virtually greaseless, super tender and moist, and filled with large chunks of vegetables and conch. While it may not be on the table when you walk in, Seafood Kitchen will supply you with a squeeze bottle of the datil pepper sauce, which folks in this area know as the sweet hot sauce of St. Augustine. Dab datil on your conch fritters today, and thank me tomorrow. The fried shrimp come in at a close second. Again, beautifully fried and also tender on the inside, with the distinct pop and snap of truly fresh well prepared shrimp. These sing when paired either with the datil or the house cocktail sauce. If I wanted to mix things up a bit, I might get a lunch sized portion of the blackened mahi. It's good if a pricier option. I personally enjoyed the collard greens, but they needed some datil to perk 'em up a bit. And while I was glad cold peel and eat were available (make sure to specifiy if you want them hot or cold) these are easy to make at home, and our homemade version eclipses what we received from the kitchen on a busy Tuesday night. For those that are concerned, these have not been "deveined", so it might not be the best choice for the squeamish. House salads date back to a bygone era. My dining companions enjoy the trip down memory lane, but ultimately they are not for me. The hush puppies weren't particularly remarkable, but still nice to have on the plate. That said, I have a particularly high bar for hush puppies. Our server Kristie was amazing! It was a busy night, but she made sure we had everything we needed, and could not have been nicer. Mostly we needed lemons. Lots and lots of lemons. If you have ever been to St. Augustine and had a glass of water, you know what I'm talking about. - TL;DR: Great casual spot, where maybe not everything is top notch, but there are a few standouts that compete with the best in the market. One of these days I'll convince my dining companions to try the frogs legs. read more

Hole in the wall place with a wait! Love that. I recommend the fried food because it was pretty darn good. I got the broiled scallops and they forgot to bring one of my sides. Do not recommend the crab stew. It's just clam chowder and they say they put crab in it, but I didn't see any and you can't taste it. read more

Wellllll, the service was excellent. Waitress was kind and attentive. Atmosphere was okay but no nice view of anything and outdoor seating seemed dull. The fish was delicious (fried "triple tail"). The salad was kind of mehhh. The key lime pie was pretty bad but waitress gladly took it off the receipt. read more

Took a long time to get the food. She brought the sides out & it was another 20 minutes before my sandwich came out.

Our family always makes a point to visit Seafood Kitchen whenever we're in St. Augustine -- it's a tradition at this point! On our most recent trip, we actually ate there three times, and each meal was just as delicious as the last. The fried seafood is made to order every time -- nothing sits under a heat lamp. The sides are freshly prepared daily, and you can tell the seafood is sourced locally. They really go the extra mile to find the best seafood. This visit, the service stood out even more. I accidentally placed an order for 5 plates instead of 6 -- totally my mistake. When I went back to correct it, they had the extra plate ready within five minutes. They turned my slip-up into a non-issue, and I really appreciated how fast and kind they were about it. If you're in St. Augustine and love fresh seafood, I highly recommend stopping by Seafood Kitchen. You won't be disappointed. read more

Visiting from Indiana. Waitress was attentive. Clam Chowder and Seafood gumbo were excellent. Gumbo had a kick and no fishy taste. Husband had blackened grouper. It was mild, seasoned very well and not fishy. I had scallops and they were some of the best I have had. Nothing special about the side salads but they were good. Baked Potatoe was overcooked. Sweet potato was good but very small. Hush puppies were good. Key Lime pie was light and fluffy. We would definitely return. read more

Amazing SEAFOOD, service and a Florida no-nonsense atmosphere. We both tried the daily special: mahi & shrimp. Prep choices are: blackened, broiled or fried. I tried boiled & blackened-both were delicious. The seafood tasted fresh and correctly handled by chefs that know seafood & fish. The 2 sides were good as well, but we were there for the FISH! Gumbo was perfect! read more

This place was recommended and did not disappoint. It was very busy, but we sat outside and have fantastic conversation with others at same bar table. We got the early bird special with shrimp and mahi. Cooked perfectly, seasoned well. The lemon cheesecake was fantastic. Worth the wait. read more

This is always our first dinner night and our final dinner night when visiting St A. This ensures our week starts off right and ends right. Owner is a hard working guy and his seafood is as fresh as you will find anywhere but at more realistic prices. If you want to pay 30% more for your meal because it's got a view of the river, well, that's your choice. For us, it's all about the food. The service here is exceptional. Welcoming and friendly staff who work hard to keep you happy. I can assure you, any reviews claiming frozen seafood are nothing short of slander. The seafood here is fresh. I get the scallops and clams combo as a habit and wow, you can taste the freshness in every bite. We've never had to wait but often timing is everything. Many times we arrive and are seated immediately only to have two or three large parties arrive minutes later. It can get busy but if you arrive at the right time (before 6:30) you're usually being seated within minutes. This is a locals go-to and they're probably not happy I'm letting y'all in on this secret spot. read more

We love the Seafood Kitchen. The menu is quite extensive. They have an early bird dish before 6 PM that is typically six shrimp and a catch of the day prepared fried, broiled, or blackened for less than $20. A typical meal here includes two proteins two sides and hush puppies. I've had food prepared blackened and fried and both tasted amazing. I would call this a low-key, local, hidden gem. We will be back the next time we're in Saint Augustine. read more

Very expansive menu and everything was great. You can taste the clams in the New England Clam Chowder. The Gater and Crab Cake Bites were both excellent. All three main courses were very very tasty. Froglegs and Scallops, Clam Strips and Scallops, and Shrimp and Scallops. read more

Where do all the locals eat?? Seafood Kitchen, of course!! This place feels like a home town restaurant when the servers first greet you, it's like home. Enough about the ambiance. The fried shrimp is fantastic. They have the usual suspects for sauce, but if you ask nicely the server will bring you their super special datil pepper sauce. I mix it with ranch when I'm having their mountain high pile of onion rings. I usually get the grilled fish of the day. The trigger fish was awesome. Everything is awesome! Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. read more

The food was delicious! Quick service! Lou was our server and she was great!!! We will definitely be back.

We ordered takeout over the phone. The server was very friendly and answered all of my questions thoroughly. We ordered steak and shrimp combo with corn on the cob and broccoli salad. The food was ready within 25 minutes. The price of food is very fair especially considering the high quality. One hundred percent would recommend and we will for sure order from them again. read more

This is our first visit to this restaurant after driving by for several years. We are so glad that we stopped in and now wish that he done so years ago. The restaurant is an excellent representation of what a local seafood kitchen should be. It has a menu that reflects what is found in local waters and is cooked on point as ordered. The side items offered are limited but reflect local table fare and were fresh and delicious. The early bird is available until 6 pm and the photo is of the early bird special. The shrimp were perfectly fried and tender. The blackened mahi was seasoned well and not too spicy. The broccoli salad was delicious! Baked potato was cooked just right. My wife's Cole slaw was well flavored and not too creamy. We did not order the fries or onion rings but they looked very tempting. The price for dinner was very affordable. Service was good. The only negative is that the decor of the seating furniture is dated and floors were not cleaned well. The men's bathroom was filthy. I appreciated the taxidermy of local fish on the walls. Overall, very pleased with our visit and will return but avoid the bathroom. read more

I was skeptical about going in there at first as their menu on line had no prices but I'm glad I went, I had the seafood platter fish, shrimp, clams, oysters, baked potato, coleslaw and heaps of it, it was all fresh and excellent, definitely the best seafood platter I have ever had, don't pass this place by and prices are very reasonably. read more

Didn't see this place pop up on any "best of" lists but had good recent reviews and it did not disappoint. Food was excellent, had no wait although our party of 11 had to split up between two tables. Everyone was very impressed by their food and debated eating there a second time while on vacation. Waitress was a little overwhelmed but still did well. Will eat here again! read more

Ambiance....We decided to have a late dinner after 2 hours of bowling just down the street at Anastasia Lanes. When I arrived with my family the parking lot was extremely crowded. It was difficult to find parking but we managed. 6 people in our dinner party. We waited to be seated. The restaurant was really busy. They we're turning over tables as we waited. It was very cool which was nice since it was still hot outside. Service....Our servers name is Jessica. Very friendly but not very honest. I asked Jessica if the sweet tea is really sweet. We're in the south she said. Yes, it's sweet. We received several teas in our party. It was not sweet nor did it taste good. It was sour. I brought it up to Jessica so she could fix or replace them. The others chose another option but I just chose water. Mind you, they're 5 extra glasses now sitting in the table that she never picked up even though she brought additional glasses. Can you say crowded. Food....Now my family rated their food 8 out of 10. I went for the gator tails. My daughter and her boyfriend also orders a side of gator, steamed oysters, butterfly shrimp & French fries. My baby girl and my grandsons order the kids hot dog with fries, grilled chicken sandwich and gator. My oldest grandson orders mild hot wings, gator and fries. What I found odd I'd that the food didn't come out together. So some adults were eating and the kids weren't. I had to ask Jessica to see if the kids order was ready. It was only a hot dog and fries. Kids are impatient when they're hungry. The rest of the food comes out. I feel better because the kids are finally eating. The food was seasoned well according to my children. I've had better gator tail and they don't have a house sauce. That orange marmalade sauce just marries with Gator. Maybe they'll look into this, Overall, it was an enjoyable experience for everyone. Much Aloha read more
