    philly cheesesteak

    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!

    Original Philly Wit & Cajun fries
    Candace M.

    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!

    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.

    Fast, friendly service with ample seating for the space. Open late with hot fresh food.

    Here's brand snacks My favorite BarBq chips

    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.

    Roast pork, broccoli rabe and provolone.

    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.

    No parking. Hard to find. Pretty good and very well priced. Aside from parking, I'd go again right now.

And of course, we had to grab a Miller Lite too! We also tried the pork fried rice from their Vietnamese side restaurant, La Miss Ha -- coconut fried rice with eggs, onions, bell peppers, carrots, peas and green onions. So good! A huge shoutout to our bartender/server, Will, who made the experience even better! The service, food and atmosphere were all amazing. They've also recently opened a new speakeasy, with happy hour from 4-9 PM and the speakeasy staying open until 11 PM every Saturday. 10/10 experience and definitely somewhere we'd come back to. Thank you, Will, and everyone at the establishment for such a great time!

The kind of food that makes you close your eyes for a moment and whisper, "Mon Dieu... where have you been all my life?" The French Pantry isn't simply a café--it is a little escape to France without needing a passport. The flavors, the atmosphere, the pastries... everything made me feel as though I had discovered a charming hidden café somewhere along the streets of Paris. Bravo, The French Pantry! You stole my heart, conquered my appetite, and made me fall hopelessly in love with the croissant. Très magnifique! I will absolutely be back!

One would think there's not much you can do with a grilled cheese sandwich, but the Grilled Cheese Gallery proves that assumption wrong. There are 13 amazing and creative choices of grilled cheese here. Don't like grilled cheese? They also serve salads, poutine, mac & cheese grilled sandwiches, ice cream and other desserts. This is Comfort Food headquarters! There were actually so many choices it was hard to choose. I chose A Night in Amsterdam: Gouda, Gruyere, Swiss, Cheddar, on Artisan White. My wife had The Queen Brie: House cured bacon, French Brie, Raspberry Puree, Balsamic on Sourdough. My Amsterdam was quite a creation: three slices balanced on a pedestal with cheese trailing down more than a foot. It was delicious! My wife lauded her Queen Brie as well. We wish we had more time in Saint Augustine as this place is definitely worth a second visit.

We were…read moretired and a little hangry when we walked in, and thankfully, everyone in the group loved this place! We ordered: the Amsterdam, the Artist, the Queen Brie, and the Classic (2 sandwiches). Three of us upgraded to a small cup of tomato soup (each order comes with a mini cup for dipping). I was the lucky person who ordered the Amsterdam, which, much to our surprise and delight, was served on a hook with melted cheese stretching down to the tray it was served on. Everyone had to take a photo of my sandwich! It contained a variety of cheeses, so while the taste was fairly classic, it was a bit more nuanced than the Classic sandwich, which only had cheddar cheese. Everyone else thought their sandwiches were delicious too. And we all loved the homemade tomato soup! I tend to be a bigger fan of creamy tomato soups, but this one was rich with umami flavor and had a bit of a kick. While this is a counter-service restaurant that's pretty much no-frills, the employees were friendly and helpful. One of them refilled our water cups at the table, even though the pitcher she had was leaking, and I didn't get the sense that they normally did that. Sadly, they don't sell soft serve ice cream any more, but there are so many ice cream shops in this part of St. Augustine that you can easily walk somewhere else for dessert (which we did). The place wasn't crowded on a Friday evening and had lots of menu choices, so if you like grilled cheese sandwiches, whether creative or simple, be sure to stop by the Grilled Cheese Gallery on your visit to St. Augustine!

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.

They have a beautiful bar and upstairs seating that overlook the restaurant. The menus are themed as if your reading an old news paper! They leave zero details out. The drinks I had from here were the perfect mix of strong but kept to their profile of flavor that you expected in the description on the menu which I absolutely appreciated. I ordered two side dishes to enjoy as I had a bigger breakfast (I regret now because this is one of those places I wish I could've had the whole menu) I ended up with their Mac & cheese and their deviled eggs. Their Mac & cheese was absolutely delicious. The cheeses they used complemented themselves together beautifully. The crispy outside and the cheesy inside. I genuinely loved every moment of every single bite. The deviled eggs are a new experience I have never had before. They really add their own twist to them with blue cheese and I normally don't fancy a blue cheese but they absolutely knew what they were doing because it complemented the yolk so well. It was such a unique flavor I've never gotten to experience with deviled eggs. And I will never forget it! With everything said in done. I will mention or waitress forgot about us and never brought the sauce I asked for or checked in on us. But again this place carried so heavily with the food that they could have thrown the food at me and told me to get lost and I probably would've left with a smile on my face.
