    Cheesesteak with Cheese Wiz
    Mike S.

    Not gonna lie.... for the amount of times it have been in St Augustine it took me way too long to finally make it to South-A-Philly. First off love the spot it's simple and for a good Cheesesteak that's all you need. Of course they had Herr's so we got 2 bags. Went with 3 Cheesesteaks, 2 Wiz Wit (Cheese Wiz & Onion) and 1 White America with Onions. If you're asking well what Herr's did you get it was 2 bags of the Jalapeno Poppers Cheese Curls. They are the best Cheese Puff on the market. So the Cheesesteak, for sure in the top of the 904 area. My go to was the Wiz Wit and this was fulling packed. Tons of steak and plenty of wiz. Everyone knows there is nothing worse then a dry cheesesteak. Bread was soft, onions caramelized and on the bigger side for sure. It's for sure a very finely chopped steak. I can see us coming back and enjoying again.

    Really good cheesesteak! It's not my favorite I've ever had but I might be the best I've ever had outside of Philly! I loved the wiz cheesesteak. The bread was so soft but still allowed the meat and cheese to be the star of the show! One Philly was more than enough food and even made for good leftovers later! Ambiance and service were perfect for a good sandwich spot!

    Our favorite spot! Staff is so nice and provides a welcoming spot after hanging out with your friends at the local bars. Delicious spread of food for all to enjoy. LATE NIGHT EAT!

    Did my roll absorb all that juicy deliciousness of steak, onion, and cheese? YES The Amoroso roles didn't disappoint, and neither did the service. This was a good cheesesteak, and like others displaced from the NE, will attest that is no easy feat outside of the Philly Metro.

    Went here for a late night sandwich, we split an original Philly & it was big amount for both of us. Have we had a better Philly, yes, but you won't be disappointed with theirs. We also had the Cajun fries & they were very good!

    OMG, pinball love pinball was raised, playing pinball and I'll continue to play pinball love, this place cheesesteaks hoagies, and here from Philly. This is the spot for you. They even have her potato chip brand and I think the only brand they sell had to grab a couple bags to take back to the art Airbnb we were here for about 2 to 3 hours just playing good open ball so if you were raised, bring your quarters the guy, the owner he is from South Philadelphia. We didn't get the chance to try anything but like I said pinball will probably be back tonight to play more or tomorrow before we leave to play one more time before we head back home.

    I believe that the best Philly cheesesteak are the finest in the land. Until now. I quizzed the owners about where they buy the rolls. Correct answer is Amoroso rolls! And the get these rolls from Philly. Their roast pork, broccoli rabe and provolone is on point. Reminds me of D'Nics pork steak at the Reading Terminal in Philly. I asked them if the sold the soft pretzel. Response - no. Pro -- Philly is alive in Saint Augustine. You can buy the Amoroso rolls and freshly baked pretzels at the new WAWA convenience store.

    Excellent Philly. Spicy fries were delicious. Kids liked the chicken nuggets. A little pricey since everything is alacarte, but great food.

    Sometimes you go looking for breakfast and end up discovering a place that makes you question every…read morebreakfast you've ever had before it. That was French Pantry in St. Augustine. We chose this spot for breakfast/brunch and what a fantastic find. The atmosphere is beautiful and upscale without feeling like you need to whisper or worry that you're holding your fork incorrectly. I went with the Gruyère cheese and ham omelette, and honestly, I'm not sure how they managed to make eggs this light. The omelette was delicate, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The kind of breakfast where you take a bite and immediately start thinking, "Well, now I'm going to have to compare every omelette I eat from this point forward." My wife ordered the spinach and mushroom quiche, which can only be described as decadent. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of dish that makes you slow down and appreciate what's happening on the plate. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was spectacular, and the entire experience felt like a special occasion even though we were simply there for breakfast. French Pantry was a fantastic find and absolutely deserving of five stars. If you're in St. Augustine looking for a breakfast or brunch experience that feels a little elevated, this is one to put on your list.

That one's more grab-and-go bakery vibes, but this location is full-on fine dining. Spacious, elegant decor, the kind of place you'd actually dress up a little for. We got the chicken panini, bang bang shrimp, and pesto bucatini, and honestly all three were really good. Nothing fell flat. The bucatini had great flavor, the shrimp had that perfect crunch with a good kick, and the panini was solid comfort food done right. Service was great too -- attentive without hovering. If you only know them from Jacksonville, this location is a totally different experience. Worth the trip.

The ordering process seemed chaotic but I ordered two Cuban sandwiches and a Cafe Con Leche for lunch. Told the wait would be 15 minutes, we sat outside in the meantime. After 25 minutes and no sandwiches, I inquired inside as to the status - finally, five minutes later the sandwiches were ready. However, no Cafe Con Leche . Again went inside, waited for the front desk server to process several orders before I could ask about the status of the drink. Nothing had been made, so another five minutes for the drink order. By this time I was plenty hungry, and was disappointed with the Cuban sandwich. It's basically a toasted ham sandwich, nothing particularly unique about it. Given the hassles just getting the meal entailed, not a great experience.
