Excellent barbecue just outside of downtown Saint Augustine…read more We have been there a few times and it is always good. Chicken was very flavorful, Smokey and juicy. Their fried okra is probably the best I've ever had. Fast friendly service, good came out quickly! They close at 7, so arrive early.

UPDATE: all you need to do is look at their nasty reply that is a fabricated LIE to understand what…read moreI mean by poor management and you can add rude. Firstly, I would like to point out that when a review is posted is not the same as when the visit was. Secondly, a woman FROM YOUR BUSINESS came to MY car and personally told me that the restaurant was closed for renovations. And she did the same to at least 2 more cars of people. AND I asked here why the hours were NOT updated on google and she replied "Well we posted the hours somewhere." And no, this what not on a Sunday. We checked the hours before planning our trip and you were supposedly going to be open but your hours were not updated to reflect any renovations. You are a rude bold face liar making up things that plainly didn't happen. Here's how I can prove you're a liar: how would I know that you were closed for renovations supposedly before they started as you claim if I'm from out of town and came on a day that you're always closed as you claim before they ever started? I couldn't. I would have had to be there during the renovations as I was. And I was told by a woman on your staff! Talk to your staff maybe before you get so nasty. ORIGINAL: Tried to go to this place on vacation. It was closed for renovations and only found out after pulling into the parking lot. What vacation destination closes for renovations during vacation season anyway? They did NOT update their google hours nor did they put it on their sign at the restaurant. While I tried to find an alternative place for lunch after having my plans ruined, several other cars showed up like myself to the restaurant to be told by someone that they were closed as no one knew. My family planned a trip to this location just to try this restaurant. (Over a 3 hour drive). They should have updated their hours or at least put it on their sign. Poor management. Never even apologized for the major inconvenience. I already posted this review once and the owner or manager had it taken down because they didn't like my truthful post about their poorly ran restaurant. I consider that very disrespectful and misleading to everyone out here seeking honest reviews. If you want better reviews then be better. Don't doctor the stats!

My family lived in St Augustine for many years and SD's was our go to spot for all things BBQ!!! Their ribs and brisket are to die for!!! Pretty sure I heard they smoke their meats for 7+ hours....ohhhhh yeah!!!! Never forget the homemade sauces!! This review is based on my new SD's experience. We came up for a weekend at the beach and decided to give the Downtown St Aug/ Ponce de Leon location a try because the SR 206 location is ALWAYS packed. We figured it was only right to spread the love!! WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! The smells engulfed my nostrils before I ever turned into the driveway! The cute smoke house was just the right size and I enjoyed watching the meat come right out of the smoker then sliced and diced right in front of me. Cameron P the pit master was definitely doing his thing! My budget was $100...we got 2 full slabs, a pound of beef brisket, and a half chicken! Our total was $100.11.....and of course we thru the crew a tip because we appreciated the love and work they put into their magnificent products. We will maintain our loyalty to Smokin' D's, but we found our new favorite location.

The male server was attentive and competent but my craft beer was poured as a low abv sour and not my Swamphead IPA hazy request, which was switched out quickly. My Prohibition Burger & Egg was seasoned perfectly and the boiled cajun peanuts had a nice unexpected spicy kick. Aside from the tasty eats, the beautiful 1920's themed bar is notably a mixologists dream. Maybe add a true Speak Easy to the place which would be a cool addition. There was a walk thru to a pricey steakhouse, but not hidden so not really a Speak Easy concept if that was the intent.

The…read moreplace has a great atmosphere dark, vintage speakeasy vibe with live music, neon accents, and a lively energy that makes it feel more like a night-out destination than just a restaurant. The food was good across the board. The burgers stood out as the highlight juicy, flavorful, and cooked well. The fries and appetizers were also solid, and portions were generous enough to leave satisfied. The drink menu is extensive too, with a strong cocktail selection that fits the whole Prohibition theme. Service was friendly and generally on point, even though it was busy. The staff kept things moving and checked in without being intrusive.

Very limited menu and the only restaurant on the Fountain of Youth park…read more My wife had the cuban and baked beans as a side. She enjoyed the Sandwich and thought the beans were very good. Very limited selection of drinks. I had the Nathan's hot dog on a bun, They have no chili to put on the dawg to add some test to it. Very filling that is for sure. I had the Mac & Cheese as a side. My grandmother would roll over in her grave if she saw this. Not using elbow macaroni and the cheese is like a thick soup very unappetizing. People get crazy over the use of cheese on Mac & cheese. Nothing else stood out about this place Like I said the only place to eat so think carefully. Service was good then again on the screen they ask for you to consider a tip for what taking my order. That is what your job is not sure why I should tip you. I pick it up from the counter, get my condiments, napkins, straws and so forth. Where is my tip ?????

It is a super cute wooden station at the Fountain of Youth that we visited today. You place your order. They give you a buzzer and you pick your table of choice and wait a short time and voila! It is outside seating only. I had the Pulled Pork sandwich with Mac n Cheese, which was amazingly delicious!! Tender, juicy and not overly spicy. The Mac n Cheese was one of the best that I have tasted. My daughter had the Crab Cake sandwich with Mac n Chrese. She loved it! We are here on vacation but we will try to come back again before leaving. You've got to try it!
