What a cute place! We stopped here after reading some reviews and it didn't disappoint. We chose the outdoor seating which is self seated, first come first served, because the inside was super loud (in a fun, vibrant way) but I wanted a quieter area. The deck is covered and there are fans and windows so it did not get hot. The food was great! Bang bang shrimp wasn't spicy at all, had a nice tangy flavor, and the shrimp was tasted super fresh. The crab bisque fries were crispy and the bisque tasty. The lobster ravioli was SO good. I usually do not like cheese with seafood but this worked perfectly. It was creamy, savory, slightly sweet from the crab and shrimp cheese sauce it comes in which perfectly complemented the very stuffed lobster ravioli. The fish and wedges were really good too. Fish was meaty and crispy, wedges tasted roasted instead of fried and the coleslaw was creamy, crunchy and sweet. As a bonus, the tartar sauce was good too. Our server (Josh?) was very attentive, polite, friendly and quick. The menu isn't huge but I would come back if I'm in the area again. There are some coupons available as well for lunch in those travel pamphlets at the hotels. read more

The best Clam Chowder I've had in a while. Super creamy and thick, not watery at all. Loaded with real clam meat, potatoes. Rich, savory, and perfectly seasoned - not too salty. Not fishy at all. Tried the Grilled, Blackened Seafood Combo-once is enough for me read more

It was next to hotel and late and open so we went. The chowder mixed with conch was flavorful and good. Their chowder is nice thickness. The bisque was good as well. The ruby reds are fantastic. Easy to peel and the cocktail sauce was nice. Should have ordered more. The butter is too watery and doesn't provide much flavor for it. The grouper was bland and boring. Blackened is apparently just burnt without flavor. The cream sauce didn't help. The collard greens I took one bite and that was it. Just nothing to it. The beans and rice was ok. Coconut shrimp was too sweet with the pina sauce. Just ok. Kids loved the kraft Mac and cheese. And the burger was very bland. Nice bun though. The key lime pie was sweet but the crust was good. Their service is quick and the food is served even quicker. read more

This is one popular place, we got here right at dinner prime time, but only had to wait about 10 min to get in. They also have a bar area which is first come first serve. Huge bar with plenty of drinks and beers. They have TVs all over the place, so you can easily catch the big games. Plenty of seating, even rooftop, which was packed and a long wait. The food was tasty, not amazing, but good. My fish was overcooked, but the delicious grits made up for it. The tortellini was good, as was the coconut shrimp. The fiesta fish bowl was just okay, over cooked fish again. Overall it was a good experience, and I can see why it's so hyped up here in St. Augustine. read more

Stopped for a quick drink and snack. Regular margarita was substandard, tasted like cheap sour mix. Spicy Bloodmary was good but not spicy. Order of chicken wings, good flavor but needed to be crispy. Couple of draft beers 5.50 a piece a bit pricey for around here. Overall, nothing special, but will do if you have limited options. Waitress was nice. read more

Was here twice in the same day. First time for cocktails at the bar and the second for dinner. Both experiences were very good! The first time we were served by Angel at the bar and she made rum runners on the rocks & my wife had the mango paradise. Both were very refreshing! So much so we had several each as we watched the Cubs on TV. Fly the W! Angel and the vibe at the bar is very chill & welcoming. Our second encounter was for dinner a couple of hours after our first encounter and even at 8:30PM there was still a wait. We actually ate outside at one of the booths where its first come first serve. This time we just had a couple of beers each along with our entrees. I had the Seafood Combo which was trigger fish & shrimp (blackened) with 2 sides (fresh greens beans & cole slaw). My wife had the Sunset Shrimp Pasta Bowl which had 9 pieces of shrimp in a cream based sauce which she said was fantastic! We also got a free t-shirt for our efforts! Woohoo! If visiting St. Augustine Beach give the Sunset Grille a try! read more

Plenty of parking both sides of the street. Sat outside at picnic tables (you can bring your dog- only during the day- no food there at night) I give the service a 2 star, Took a bit to be waited on, we made sure we ordered when she came to ask us about drinks. The burgers were cooked a perfect rare. Didn't see our waitress until the bill (we were out of drinks) Took 20 minutes to get our change- word of advice use a credit card- we got $55 in fives back. read more

If you're looking for that perfect beachside spot in St. Augustine, Sunset Grill never disappoints! The Sunset Salad is hands-down one of my all-time favorites--the fresh ingredients topped with their dreamy Key Lime dressing is pure coastal perfection. The food here is always quality, the portions are generous (trust me, you won't leave hungry), and the vibe is relaxed yet lively.Jessica is one of our favorite servers--always friendly, upbeat, and quick with a smile. The beers are icy cold, and if you're in the mood for something fun, their espresso martinis are absolutely delish. Between the consistently great food, the super clean atmosphere, and the laid-back beachy feel, I can honestly say I absolutely love this place. It's the kind of spot you can count on every single time. read more

Stopped in while visiting st augustine. We went for lunch and loved it so much came back for dinner. For lunch we started with the coconut shrimp. They were delicious and had a strong coconut taste. It came with a Pina colada sauce. Then we wanted to try the two chowders. Both were excellent. We tried two of the specialty cocktails, the rum runner and the goombay smash. Both were very strong drinks. When we went back for dinner we tried the datil dry rubbed wings. They were so good. We also got the chowder fries. Everything excellent! Bartenders were great. Loved this place! read more

Oh man! What's happening Sunset grille?! He ordered the grouper sandwich and got sick. I got the blackened fish tacos which were way over seasoned! This is typically a delicious spot! Not sure what was going on this time around!! read more

3 Service- Host was busy but nice. Server was full of energy and helpful. Vibe- Fun eclectic vibe, ate outside in the top floor and it was nice, although a limited view on the side. Good- Crab and artichoke bisque was good- nice flavor. Seafood platter left a lot to be desired. Fish was great, however the shrimp were chewy and lacked any sort of flavor and were left behind. Shrimp scampi- it was brown. It was an odd and thick sauce. Fish sandwich- my son liked, crispy. Lobster Mac and cheese- macaroni was ok, lobster was not fresh and chewy. Also sadly left behind. We did not complain- too late in the day and were kinda over it. Just manage expectations. read more

I got 2 fish sandwiches and 2 sides from sunset grille I ordered for dinner and when I ordered the sandwiches she said they only make those for lunch and would ask if they could still make them. It was 4 pm not quite dinner time so they said they could do it and I was very happy with that, but had no idea that each sandwich with 1 side would run $30.00 or I would not have had them make them. I can get fish sandwiches any time at several of our local restaurants and pay $15 to $17 with a side, but wasn't in the mood to drive around town. So I paid for staying home and eating close to home. I'm not complaining about the food it was excellent. I just think that's a bit high for a sandwich and a side. Anyway lesson learned and I'm hoping that anyone wanting to eat lite for dinner on the beach side. Do not expect to pay a reasonable & Don't forget to tip read more

fun place right on the Banana River in Cocoa Beach! We used to pull up by boat- 28' and plenty of dock space for 4-6 boats. Great burgers. Great gathering place for boat clubs, friends & families. read more

Food was okay. Got the crabby fries very mediocre. Everyone else said their food was fantastic, maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Server DAN was exceptional. 10/10 service :) read more

Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, everything was a hit! Omg the clam chowder fries were BOMB, we got them on a whim because we were cold and wasn't expecting them to be so addictive, no wonder they're award winning. I got the cheese tortellini entree, the alfredo sauce was super rich and flavorful. And of course I had to get the famous peanut butter pie that everyone says to try, soooo rich and you can tell that it's homemade. read more

September 28, 2026 Sunset is always our first choice on trips to St. Augustine beach. We even save it for the last night as a privilege. Tonight, it even exceeded our own high expectations. The wings are always a choice as half of them go home the next day for lunch. Tonight, I had two new choices. The Crabby Fries sounded wild - Crispy fries with their award-winning crab bisque crabmeat, fried capers and Old Bay. Unbelievably good. Paired with the Bang-Bang Shrimp - 1/2 lb. fried and tossed in a creamy, spicy Datil sauce, I am still trying to recover from the delight. I am sure it is a standard for all the locals, but if you haven't tried it, it's a requirement. read more

Friday night not bad walked in at 7PM got seated right away, which was surprising to me. They also had one dining room blocked off they were not using. Good crowd tonight they were busy with people in an out. Food was excellent and tasted very good. I had the New England Clam chowder, with the claim of the best ever. Sorry you need to try the Clam chowder at the Sail Loft in Boston, Mass. It was very good though as compared to other soups I have had in the past. I also had the fish bites which was flounder catfish and mahi. They were very good and went well with the tartar sauce. The ladies had the Chicken Tenders and fries and enjoyed them immensely a good portion of food for sure. Our server did a great job the whole night. read more

The outdoor area is seat yourself and I picked a high top table that allowed me to enjoy the nice breeze. Abigail was my server and answered my questions while also giving me suggestions. I started with the sunset oysters that were filled with spinach dip type of filling. They were flavorful and satisfied my craving for chargrilled oysters. I asked Abigail which fish she suggested between the grouper and the trigger. She said she likes the blackened trigger fish more and I took that suggestion. There are not a lot of side options, I selected the green beans and black beans with rice. I've never had trigger fish and didn't know what to expect. It has a similar texture to tilapia and the sauce on top gave an extra layer of flavor. The sides were ok, nothing to brag about. Next time I think I'll sit upstairs to enjoy the great view. read more

It was raining when we dined here so it is hard to rate the ambiance but overall it gave beach bar/restaurant. The food was amazing! The oysters were a stand out.

Another perfect steak at the Sunset Grille Jessica B is and is always a great server. Psst when there's a long wait, go to the bar. The booths, tables and seating there is first come first served. I got the last NY Strip and haha good for me. Because that's what I go there for. The green beans were good and the baked potato perfectly baked. We really do plan our trip around this steak cause it is and I really mean it the best steak south of St Louis!!! Always something to watch, the TVs or drama at the bar LOL. Love the location, the decor, the food. read more

This was a great spot to pop in for quick and delicious dining at the bar. I stopped by for dinner service before a show at the St.Augustine Amphitheater and was so glad to learn there is a seat yourself option downstairs. Not just at the bar but tables too. The weather was great so we sat outside. Service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious. I gobbled up my Ahi Tuna App and Fried too quickly for a photo but did snap a shot of the menu. Definitely check out this spot. read more

Visiting St Augustine from Broward County. Was looking for a place not crowded near the beach for drinks and appetizers. Wanted to sit outside and enjoy the cool weather. Upstairs was closed so decided to sit downstairs which was opened to the air but covered with heaters. The inside bar area was packed. Sweet waitress took our drink order and came back for our app order. My husband ended up returning his mojito which he never does. Said it tasted awful. Waitress replaced drink with no problem. The other two drinks were just average. The appetizers consisted of coconut shrimp which were average in size but tasty. The other was a mahi fish dip which was terrible. Tasted like tuna fish served with crackers individually wrapped. Did even finish it. Over all the atmosphere was very nice however I do not think I would return. read more

Are you kidding me? We had a very little wait. I wasn't real hungry, so I ordered a cup of clam chowder and a side salad with a key lime vinegarette dressing. I had that on the side, not only did I pour it all on, but I ordered a but more salad dressing, because it was sooooo goooood! Mark ordered some kind of pasta with shrimp. Not being a pasta person, I really don't know how the cavatoppi (sp?) tasted, but the shrimp. Now, I am not talking little popcorn Shrimp, I am talking big ole shrimp. I did try half of one, yes, I said half a piece of shrimp. That is how large they are. Our waitress, Diane took care of us like we were family. Actually, she appeared to treat everyone that way! I loved the decor, and did I mention how great the entire staff was?? Despite the long line, but little wait time, this restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine. I wanted to mention, there is upstairs seating also. read more

I usually think it's a good sign when a restaurant is busy each time I pass by. This was the case with this place. It was close to our hotel so we ended up here after work and not being able to get a reservation at another recommended spot. It was super busy but our wait was pretty short. In my opinion, the menu was waayyyy too extensive. So many random items. I wanted something a little lighter so when I saw salmon poke bowl I was really excited...well..it came to the table and poke it was not. My piece of salmon was cooked and not raw and cubed like I expected. I asked the server and she said yes it does come cooked and not raw. Poke means RAW. Lol. It was good but I was disappointed that it wasn't what it should have been. I'm a sucker for a great key lime pie..this one was made from scratch. I enjoyed the crust but the filling didn't taste like key lime..very faint lime taste and the whipped topping didn't taste like anything. Good location and there's outdoor seating, but I personally didn't find anything spectacular about it. read more

It's been a while since my first review. This is my second time back and I'm taking this up to a 4 star place. The Ahi Poke bowl is solid. The Fish Bites appetizer was very good. Lightly fried hunks of grouper and mahi with a nice dill tarter. The St Augustine Fish Fry was good, but not quite as good as the fish bites. I was expecting more given how well the fish bites were done. The Tropical Trigger dish was surprisingly good. I was concerned about the sweetness but was pleased that the citrus part of the glaze dominated. It was a good blend. The trigger was very good. The fries and slaw were good. The collards were good. A solid bonus is the two Dog Rose beers in tap. Both are very good choices. Service was very good. There was an incident in the kitchen that delayed my fish. They were honest and apologetic. Well done. I still love me some Oasis, but I'll make room for a stop here every now and then. read more

Very busy restaurant that's easy to walk to from Hotels. Will probably have to wait for a table but the service and food are worth it! I got the chowder fries as I was told the crabby fries have cold crab with them and I don't really like hot and cold mixed. The chowder fries were good--very rich. The bang bang shrimp was okay. My friends all enjoyed their dinners but the absolute best thing was the dessert! Just---takes your breath away delicious! If anything come here for that! Staying near by I would have gladly just coke back here to eat dinner daily. Lots of options, fun atmosphere and everything was really good! read more

We came here on a whim while we were on this side of town on a day off. My kiddo had a hankering for a burger, and we remembered they have a wide variety of items on the menu, so we ended up at Sunset Grille. When we arrived, we checked in at the host/hostess stand and were quickly shown our table, given menus. Justin our server stopped by to take our drink orders. After having a few minutes to look over the menu, we all decided: a kid's hamburger meal for my kiddo, a blackened fish sandwich for me w/ fries, and a chicken sandwich w/ fries for my husband. Justin checked in with us, refilled our drinks and you could tell he was really hustling with all the tables he was managing. Our food came out quickly and was warm. My fish sandwich was large and delicious, the fries were delicious. My husband and son said they enjoyed their meals. You may think since this location is so close to the beach that prices would be high, but I think the the prices are fine and portions are generous. read more

The service, food, ambiance were outstanding! We will often return to dine at Sunset Grille!

I loved our time at the Sunset Grille! Our server Diane was so pleasant and very attentive! She gave us all kinds of recommendations and they were all spot on. We had the peel and eat shrimp, which peeled so easy and were soft like butter, the lobster ravioli (so creamy!) and the NY strip steak cooked to perfection. Also - the pie was HUGE! Enough for three people to share. read more
