We chose to sit on the covered deck by the outdoor pond because the overwhelming fishy smell inside the restaurant was too strong to enjoy our meal. Even though it was in the 90s outside, the deck was actually very pleasant, and watching the turtles and fish in the pond was by far the best part of the experience. Unfortunately, that was where the positives ended. I ordered the blackened mahi mahi fish sandwich with fries. The fish itself was actually well cooked and nicely seasoned, but the tomato on the sandwich was literally the top core slice of the tomato. A simple glance in the kitchen would have easily prevented that. We also had the shrimp po' boy with fries. The bun had been placed on the grill to toast, but it picked up heavy black char that ended up all over the bread and mixed into the shrimp. I bit into the sandwich and was shocked to crunch down on bitter, burnt residue that even hurt my tooth. It really made me wonder what else had been on that grill. The shrimp itself also had a freezer-burnt taste, and the fries had a similar off flavor. For a seafood restaurant, I didn't expect that level of quality issue with basic ingredients. The server offered to remake the sandwich but with that kind of taste, I did not think a remake would fix the problem. Overall, very disappointing food experience. I'm honestly surprised by the generally good reviews and unfortunately can't recommend this restaurant based on our visit.
You are charging the same price for a lot less amount of food. Come'on $22.49 for a small Mahi mahi alfredo and $10.49 for small Clam chowder. That's highway robbery here.
Very pleasantly surprised. This is the first time I have ever been there. The staff was very nice very polite and actually quite friendly. They had a saying there. "Hey we'd love to be your friend." I think that's great. They were very knowledgeable with the menu, they answered all questions and let me tell you something. The specials were amazing! The four of us wound up getting the shrimp special for 1499, which included 20 butterfly shrimp anyway you'd like them grilled broiled or fried two sides and two hush puppies. What a fantastic deal the food arrived hot delicious and they also had half-price appetizers so I wound up getting the fried green tomatoes. Very healthy portion and tasted delicious. If you get a chance, check them out. They have good value, good food, great drinks, and good friends to be had.
The food here is delicious and the servers are great. Restaurant is clean and we will definitely return. The atmosphere is conducive for enjoying a good meal.
I've been here a couple times over the past year and a half and I always opt for the blackened shrimp, which is done perfect every time. The shrimp is butterflied and incredibly pillowy, with just the right amount of seasoning. It's the kind of dish that makes you crave it over and over. I usually pair it with their rice pilaf and collard greens which they did not have at my last visit but the green beans were a good substitute. We also always get the fried gator appetizer, and it's always done well. St. Mary's Seafood delivers a reliable, comforting dining experience every time, with great consistent food.
While on vacation, we met an old friend who lives in St Augustine. He recommended St Mary's Seafood where he is a regular. We appreciate him leading us to it. That was the day for the whole red fish to be on special. It was crispy with the head on. Nick said it was delicious. Dan and I got soup. Dan got the shrimp and corn chowder and I got clam chowder. We both thought the clam chowder was better by far. The place had a very casual and touristy decor and a fun atmosphere. We will stop there again next time we pass through.
My husband and I decided to try this place for lunch today after driving by this area on a regular basis to get to I-95. The restaurant is actually off of International Golf Parkway. They have indoor, outdoor and bar seating. It was very hot today so we opted to sit inside. The air conditioner was working great. The menu offers plenty of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. The entrees come with two sides of your choice and two hush puppies. I had the haddock fish entree, a baked potato and green beans. Everything tasted great. My husband had the flounder entree with rice pilaf and cole slaw. He also loved his lunch. Service was quick and the prices are reasonable.
We were seated right away with a friendly and welcoming smile. The restaurant is clean, spacious, nice bar, and decorated with holiday cheer! Our waiter Patrick was a GEM! Super sweet, funny and shared a great tip which I'll share below - let's just say it's the Welch way to do it. We tried a few different items on the menu, knowing we would be bringing food home for sure! Our appetizers: Fried Squash with ranch dressing. Simple but oh so good!! A win! Philly cheese steak egg rolls - perfectly cooked, nicely seasoned outside with a good crunch with philly goodness on the inside! Wasn't a fan of the Chinese type duck sauce with it ...def think their ranch dressing would be a better fit or a cheese sauce. But we loved them! Loaded tater tots - covered in cheese sauce, bacon and chives/green onion. My husband enjoyed them as they were served and I am sure others like them that way as well. However, I would have preferred them a bit crunchier on the outside. I'll remember to ask for them crunchier next visit. Our sides: Mac and cheese was cheesy & tasted good however the elbows were just a little too mushy. Creamed corn with bacon was delicious! Very creamy and the bacon was a good touch. Salad Bar - reminded me of when I lived on Long Island and you'd go to these little diners - basic fixins and it hits the spot! Fresh is always key, which that is was! Main dish - Fish platter with fried Paddock. Love how the breading did not overpower the fish. The fish was moist and the batter was crispy and it delivered on taste! Hush puppies were shhhhh really crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle = perfect!! The Paddock is a very flakey fish so fork is your friend! The tartar sauce was well made and great consistency and flavor! However...here it is....Patricks tip on how the Welch do it ...add some malt vinegar, a squeeze of the lemon, a shake of the salt shaker and then dip in ketchup. Tartar sauce is not the Welch way it's our American way. So we had to try it and we can say we were pleasantly surprised and are a fan!! Thank you Patrick! Christmas cocktails - Gingerbread Martini and Rudolph Old Fashion. Description in my pic of the drinks included with this post. We enjoyed them both and recommend! Glad we gave this place a try! We will be back again some day soon!
Did I just step back into the 80's? Stepping into St. Mary's Seafood certainly felt like it.The wood, the prize machines up front, the way my crappy little fork was wrapped around the skimpy napkin and oh those melmac plates. Reading the greasy, faded menu with descriptions and prices rubbed out almost had me saying "let's go "but my husband was enjoying his $5 draft beer special. Our server, bless her heart couldn't remember the specials or the prices telling me " I think the shrimp special is $14.99." I opted for that since it seemed pretty safe. It came with a choice of side. I opted for the baked potato since I haven't had one in forever. and I just had a feeling this place would make them good. My husband acted for the fried fish. I believe it was flounder which came with two sides at 24.99 the meals also came with two hush puppies each my husband opted for the salad bar. I didn't go up to look at it, but he came back with all kinds of things and he seemed happy, especially since they had egg on the salad bar, he really enjoyed his fish and said it wasn't greasy and it was cooked just right. My shrimp special was fair. There were a lot of shrimp but they just weren't that tasty. I drowned them in hot sauce and tartar sauce. It was Monday night and they had trivia going on in the restaurant. I can't say that I really liked St. Mary's or that I didn't like it. Would I go back? Maybe. They give a small discount for cash. Our tab was @$54.
The restaurant sits close by interstate. Very welcoming environment. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly. The lemon pepper wings were fried hard like I like them but the lemon pepper seasoning was in the plate and not on the chicken. It was too much grease in the plate to dip my chicken in to get the seasoning. The fried food was hot, good and tasty.
I really enjoyed St Mary's more than I expected to - it's a little off the main road, hidden away so I always envisioned it as just a roadside stop off of I-95. When I got there however, it was much nicer than I anticipated. It's got multiple different seating options with either outdoor seating inside tables or bar side seating. Our server, Savannah was efficient in her role - she seemed to be new, but she did a good job. I had the flounder lunch with rice and coleslaw and it was delicious - I finished every bite! The lunch portion was more than enough, and discounted relative to the dinner price which made this an excellent value. The restaurant itself was relatively quiet on a Sunday afternoon - I'm in my mid '50s and I was probably the youngest one there... They seem to run specials during football games, so I would expect a younger more energetic crowd during football season. Overall, this is certainly a place where I would return for a quality seafood meal.

We didn't know what to expect before going to this restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised. The location was convenient as we had just finished shopping at Bass Pro Shop and it was only about 5 mins from there. The service was excellent. Waitress was attentive and came by pretty often to check on our waters etc. our food also came pretty quickly. My husband and I both had the haddock. His was fried and mine was blackened. I mean fish is fish but my blackened fish wasn't too salty so that was pretty good. Hubby had the creamy corn as a side and he said it was pretty delicious. On the overall we had a good experience, satiated our hunger with good food and on a plus side there was a big turtle in the pond that gave an extra kick to the vibe of the place. I would recommend coming here. read more

This place was recommended to us by our hotel staff. We were seated very quickly and our server was great. It was empty but pleasant inside. It was very empty but we did go on a Thursday afternoon. We tried the shrimp special, gator bites, ahi tuna, and fried green tomatoes. Our food was great reasonably priced. There were also a lot of drink deals, martini towers, and a full bar. I'm not from the area but based on the inside, I'd say people go for the food AND drinks. It's cute. Worth it. read more
I'm glad we gave this location another visit. I went on Sunday to celebrate with my family, so it's a perfect place for large parties and family get-togethers. There's a huge full service bar area and a spacious dining room for date night for two and large celebrations on their outside deck overlooking a lake brim full of turtles, fish, gators, birds and all kinds of native Florida wildlife set against views that capture all that's great about living in Northeast Florida. Really amazing! Our server, Susan, was outstanding! She's the one who makes the coleslaw whenever she's on schedule and it's absolutely delicious. I highly recommend. I went on Sunday with my family and we all got the special of about 20 shrimp anyway you like them cooked: fried, steamed or blackened for $16.99 (@ the time I'm writing this review). We all went for the fried shrimp dinner. I chose the fries as my other side and added the unlimited salad bar for just $2.99 more. The salad bar had everything I love about an AYCE salad buffet and it's definitely worth the add. 5-STARS for their classic ranch dressing! And the balsamic dressing, blue cheese dressing and French dressing was excellent, too. They offer a few others, but I didn't try them. I have to have ranch with my fries and I grabbed a bowl of it from the salad bar. I washed it all down with some of their classic Southern sweet tea and I was too full for the Key Lime Pie on special for the day. Next time... After our meal, we went out of the deck to feed the turtles, fish and other wildlife and snap some photos to share. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned and fried. The service was fast, friendly and professional. And the scenery was truly gorgeous. Yea, I'm probably going to celebrate my birthday here this year. read more

10 people, last minute on a Saturday night, what could go wrong? Absolutely nothing, St. Marys Seafood delivered a seamless experience. We ordered so many different things-everything good but a few things we all extra loved. Conch fritters maybe top that list. Fried green tomato's as well, excellent. Surprisingly a couple people ordered rib eye steaks and raved about them, not what anyone expected from a seafood restaurant but the & more is right there in the title. It's always busy, popular spot for bridal parties and birthday's so make a reservation. And the back patio is lovely, right on a lake with big fish and turtles you can see from some tables. Love this place. 5 stars! read more
Met an old friend for lunch on his recommendation. He ordered the whole red snapper which was fried. He pronounced it excellent. Me and spouse just ordered soup - New England clam chowder for her and a shrimp and corn chowder for me. Both good. I liked hers better. Susan took excellent care of our table. If I had been hungrier I would have tried some of their yummy looking appetizers. Maybe next time. read more

Arrived on Monday night and found there was no wait, I'd say the restaurant was at most half filled which was a little surprising but I was happy because we got seated immediately - the staff was very friendly, professional and extremely attentive. The food here was just okay in my opinion with so many seafood choices in this part of Florida this places falls somewhere in the middle of the ocean not the highly quality but certainly respectable when it comes to portions, it probably would never again be a destination but certainly will remain on the list as an option - the atmosphere feels a little like a diner and I didn't find anything that really set it apart from lots of other places I'd say it falls somewhere between Long John Silvers and Red Lobster both respectable in their lanes. The seafood trio comes with a number of seafood options and sides; the fried Alaskan Pollock was just okay the malt vinegar on the table helped but nothing I'd order again, the fried shrimp were tasty but pretty small and the deviled crab x2 was a good mixed stuffing seasoned and fried well stuffed in a crab shell but not a substitute for a well made crab cake. I chose the collards which were well executed and red skinned mashed potatoes that I set aside after a small taste definitely disappointing. The pick two was probably a better choice with blackened shrimp and blackened scallops again smaller in size and one reason I rate this place more like a chain restaurant, the baked potato was good but to get it loaded was an additional $3.99 up charge so we passed on this option. The house margarita was small in size but tasty and the draft Intuition IPA was ice cold and delicious (highly recommend). All-over it was an okay quick dining experience with exceptional service but a little expensive for the quality at almost $86.00 excluding the gratuity I failed to notice the $10 inflationary charge others speak of, if that's the case just raise the prices that's a ridiculous excuse and should be explained by the servers before taking orders... read more

The appetizers were fantastic, the menu is easy to maneuver and the entree was DEELISH. I also had dessert but did not take picture since it hit the table and quickly was shoveled into my belly (blueberry cheesecake). The place has Tuesday Music Bingo extremely fun and entertaining. The server was ok he did his job and in today's restaurant climate that is fantastic (kudos to the server). read more

Wow! This is a great lunch spot right off I-95. Everything from the food to the service was impeccable! Hubby had Popcorn shrimp, fries, and green beans. I had Blackened Mahi Mahi, baked potato, and collards. I was surprised that a seafood place had the best collards I've ever eaten and I'm a Georgia girl! Oh yeah, and wow, at the view on this little pond/lake! read more

We love St Augustine and visit as often as possible and enjoy exploring new places to eat. While stopping at the nearby Buckees for jerkey we decided we needed some seafood for an early dinner before heading back to old town for the lights. So happy we discovered this place! I was a little concerned about the old looking dining area, no thrills, old furniture, but it was clean and the staff friendly! We arrived just before a boom of other diners and were seated quickly. After looking over the numerous choices we decided on the Coconut Shrimp Appetizer, bowl of clam chowder (2), Shrimp Scampi, Low Boil Special, and our drinks Jack Frost (yes!) and Santa's Spritzer (okay). We loved all of our food it tasted amazing and be sure to bring your appetite, there's a lot of food! We had to go boxes filled with food for another entire meal for two. We loved our meal and will be back. Staff was friendly and accommodating, it got really busy and they managed with eloquence. Highly recommend this place for seafood, great prices and ease of getting there. read more

Food was tasty! Loved the blackened sticky shrimp. I had enough to take home for the next day. The Philly cheesesteak eggrolls were ok and better with the dipping sauce. My niece had the seafood combo platter for one . It was enough for two people & Fried just right. The server was outstanding! She made great recommendations and came back to table often. I believe her names was Bianca. Her sister & mom work there as well!! I have friends who love going there I will go back!! read more

This place was a hidden gem! I had the Grouper meal which came with two sides. I chose the salad bar for an additional cost. Also took advantage of adding shrimp, which all cooked as blackened. It was delicious! If in the area, you should try it out. I will definitely come back. read more
