Went last night was very busy, it took 40 min for 3 appetizers. Food was ok, we rushed to make the show we attending. All the waiter would say is yours is soon or lets hope it's ready. Not worth the aggravation. read more

My husband and I stayed at the hotel across from the restaurant, so we walked over a few times for lunch and cocktails at the bar during our stay. Each time we had friendly service, great food, and good drinks. We had coconut shrimp, fish bites, and a big seafood salad. The curb appeal may not be as fancy as other restaurants, but the service and food were consistently great. read more

Food was not particularly fresh, service was slightly worse, drinks served in disposable plastic cups made me feel like I was at a college party. Not impressed now with this place... used to come here years ago and had good meals and drinks... probably won't be returning. read more

My sister and I had supper at Sunset Grille on Wednesday, 4/22. We wanted to sit upstairs so there was a short wait (about 15 minutes). Our waiter arrived promptly after we were seated and took our drink orders right away. My sister had eaten there before and recommended the Sunset Grille Shrimp and Scallops (it's a pasta dish). I was torn between the Shrimp and Grits or Grouper, but settled on the Shrimp and Scallops. OMG, it is fabulous!! Since we were both having that, we got the double order. The kitchen split it for us. Dinners come with two sides, but if you get the double order, each person gets one side -- which is still gracious plenty food! My sister got the Grit Cakes and I got cole slaw. The slaw was fairly ordinary, which was no problem because I had so much pasta! I tasted of one of her grit cakes and, while I am a huge grits fan, I didn't care for this. The taste was OK, but the texture was odd. I was expecting grits and got something closer to cornbread. Service was great; food arrived promptly and hot. Food was wonderful. We left with go boxes and my sister had two more meals from the left-overs. I would definitely go back!! read more

It was just OK. Food was good, not spectacular. Our server was pretty great tho and I'll give 4 stars for her alone.

Good food in a quirky fun place. Service was a little slow but place was packed. Peanut butter pie and coconut shrimp were tasty

my friends and i came here for a good meal and thats what we got!!! a super good staff and very quick service! Jesse was a blessing and was a joy to be waited on by. had the coconut shrimp (super good pina colada sauce), friends had lobster ravioli (pretty good, bland sauce but ravioli was tasy), other friend had buffalo cauliflower (really good! a little spicy but not bad) and we shared an order of fried pickles read more

Have eaten here on number occasions. Food and service is always outstanding. I have never had better crab bisque and the chowders are great. Normally get some kind of seafood and it is always fresh and prepared correctly. The chicken salad is excellent. Great atmosphere and will continue to return. read more

Always busy which is a good sign.. decent food- not spectacular but decent. Service is hit or miss but typically the servers do the "one table at a time" so you have to wait longer than you should. It's not my favorite place but when my husband wants good chowder, this is where we go. With a few tweaks, this place could easily be awesome but until then, it's decent. Good selection on menu but the presentation, quality and service falls short of being the best. read more

Sat in the restaurant for an hour before receiving any food. From the time it took to sit down & place our order was 20 minutes; then it took 40 minutes to receive our food. We didn't order anything major - a salad, burger, grilled cheese, mozzarella sticks & fries. The server never came over to apologize for the delay in service or anything but wasn't until I went to the manager that she became attentive. The food was really good, which was a good thing despite our wait. read more

Great choice! My family and I stopped here while on vacation and we loved the experience. The food and service were both worth writing about! The server and helpers were all very courteous and helpful. You won't be disappointed. I recommend the blackened Baja Sandwich! read more

First things first- I'm going to rate Sunset Grille specifically as a drinking establishment, I did not have any food while there, as I stopped in to spend a Saturday night. Heard many great things about the food, and some of the appetizers I saw coming out looked great, but can't tell you how they tasted. As for spending a night out at Sunset- not a bad time at all. Got there at about 9 pm on a Saturday, and it was just the right amount of people. It was pretty packed, but not bad enough where you couldn't find a seat. The bartender was very friendly and chatty, and took great care of us ALL night long. Didn't have to wait to get refills on beers, and it's very impressive to see she remembered what we were drinking after the first round so I didn't have to continue to repeat what I wanted. A lot of TV's in the place- most were tuned to the Jaguars game, some to baseball. Would've been nice to watch the NASCAR race, but I probably could've asked someone to put it on... I was just enjoying the atmosphere. A jukebox was blasting in the corner, putting out some good tunes- thankfully I was with a good crowd that liked classic rock and some newer rock. A group of college kids was dancing in the corner, while a lot of older folks were sipping wine at the bar, while some yuppies sipped sherry outside- very diverse crowd. Do like the fact that there are lots of tables surrounding the bar area, so if you want to sit and eat you have that option, as well as heading outside, where bar stools line a wooden bar offering up a view of A1A, as well as a smoking area- bit ups for the citronella candles keeping the bugs away too. If you're a local- be prepared to run into a lot of old faces- bumped into a lot of people I went to high school with- some good, some bad, but always entertaining. After reading the other reviews, I kinda wish I had tried some of the food here, but oh well, maybe next time. So after downing a few pints and buying a drink for a girl on her birthday, the tab was only $25.00! 2.50 for a draft beer- Jackpot! -1 star for not having Sam Adams on draft though. Overall, I had a great time. Drink selection was pretty good, the bartender was awesome, and the diverse crowd there really seemed to gel well- a lot of people getting drunk, dancing, watching sports, making new friends, and nobody getting stupid, I love when that happens. I had a great time, at a great price, and will definitely be in again. read more

Man this was a great place to eat! We ate upstairs which is completely open. It was in the mid 80's but with the breeze coming in off the ocean it was very comfortable. The drinks are reasonably priced. Staff was awesome and our server was as well. We had the calamari app to start. For the main course we had the lobster ravioli. Damn they were money in your mouth! I had the Baja fish sandwich very spicy which I like. It was very good as well. If we ever come back to st. Augustine we will def be back!! Oh and we got a free t shirt with the coupon we had that's not bad either. Lol read more

Very good fish and fry's .. good service at a fair price.. what more can you ask for.. somebody else picking up the check would be pretty good ..but other than that we had a good meal there. read more

We stopped in here for the last stop of our vacation and I am certainly glad we did! Saved the best for last!!! The food was delicious, service excellent, and atmosphere was very nice and relaxed. This was a dinner time visit so as expected there was a crowd but they seemed to have several separate seating areas with separate host stations and we tried the roof top first but there was a half hour wait and they directed us inside where we were able to walk right in and be seated. Our server (Tomasz) was very helpful with the selections on the menu and always on top of our drink needs the entire visit. I had shrimp and grits, which were perhaps the best I have ever had (this is one of the staples I order at a new place for comparison purposes) and my wife had the coconut shrimp. Her shrimp were huge and since I tried one I can honestly say they were delicious. Their desserts looked tempting but since we were so full from dinner we had to pass and will look forward to returning and trying them next time! read more

We were recommended to come here while vacationing in St. Augustine. We were greeted when we first entered the restaurant and our server was out of this world. He told us what was good, what he ate, and what he preferred. The restaurant is known for their clam chowder so I had to try some. The hubby and I shared it and LOVED it. It was the first time I had ever had clams. I ordered fish tacos, and the hubby ordered a grilled cheese burger. My tacos were AMAZING and the hubby LOVED his burger. If you are visiting St. Augustine you should definitely try this place out. read more

Sever Danielle in bar area was excellent. Let us sample the soups before deciding. Split one meal in two on separate plates as we were sharing. Gave us an additional bowl of beans and rice. When I casually mentioned my Dad and I were celebrating his birthday for the next 3 days she unexpectedly brought an on the house brownie tower with a never expiring candle. The owner, I believe, brought it over to out table with her. Very unexpected and an amazing start to our trip. Food was excellent! Loved the soup and fish tacos! read more

Love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love! If you want to eat directly across from the beach AND have good food this is your only option!! Large menu with plenty to choose from. Inside and outside seating as well as an upper deck. Full bar. Love this restaurant! read more

Excellent food, very good prices, flavors were amazing, service was over the top attentive and super nice. My 2nd time dining here, and I would very much come back again. I love it when a restaurant owner knows how to take care of the customer....and when you have a great menu as well....how can you go wrong. GO TO SUNSET GRILLE when in St. Augustine and when you're done, take a stroll along the beach. read more

Wow I was amazed how good the burgers are here. Wow. I am not a eat your whole burger girl but I ate every last bite and it was a 1/2 lb! The fries were so fresh with a batter or something on the outside which made them so crisp and soft and yummy warmness I on the inside. Also had the coconut shrimp and it had no fishy taste totally fresh with the most delicious puna cola da dip wow! I was so impressed. Must eat place. read more

I read some of the reviews here and was surprised at all the high praise.. we expected something really special for all the hype surrounding it but it just didn't happen for us. There were 6 of us and none of us were impressed with the service or the food. The Black Beans & Rice were pretty good so we came back the next night to get just that to go .. we were told that the serving size was one of the 1/2 pint size boxes filled... we reduced our order because we didn't want to much food - got back to our place and found out that they barely fill it all all - the portion size is much smaller then what you even get on your place if you dine in. we'll be back to st. augustine but probably some other place on A1A. read more

The half and half chowder is very good. Peel and eat shrimp was very good. 5 stars for what I had, which wasn't much.

We got tacos, they were delicious. Comfy spot! The service was friendly. Would absolutely return again.

Great tasting food w high prices. Appetizers are incredibly small portions. We got the scallops appetizer- we received four scallops for $12! Ouch! Service is lackluster. Our server badmouthed the owner calling him greedy for opening the patio on a chilly evening, but maybe that is right on? We came away with mixed emotions. But this place was packed every evening during our weeklong stay in St Augustine. read more

Get the Crab Rangoon App! It was amazing! Then I got the fried fish platter. Shrimp, scallops, & fish. It was huge and good! The tarter sauce was obviously home made. It had a selfish taste with strong dill flavor, which I liked. The corn was obviously fresh and sweet. The cole slaw was great and I'm not a cole slaw fan. My husband got the Thai tacos and he also enjoyed it. read more

We went on a Friday which was nice since I don't think they close till 1am. I got the buffalo chicken tenders which were large & spicy, had to take 3 back with me. Wife got cheese sticks that were pretty good as well. Overall it is a nice place, waitress was great & very friendly. read more

Everytime I'm in St. Augustine I come here. It is right down the street from where I stay. They are always busy but I've never had diffculity being seated. I usually stay with a few things on the menu. The clam chowder, The Seared Tuna appitezier with fried spinach my favorite and It is so good I usually get double portion of the spinach and the entree of Ahi Tuna filet with vegetables. I've also had the fried fish which is excellent. It's exteremly good for familes too. It has outdoor seating and the service is great! You really can't go wrong with The Sunset Grill. read more

back to the sunset grille for fall 2019 and still #1 in St. Augustine the blackened grouper is awesome but he best is the fresh trigger fish sandwich absolutely the best fresh fish sandwich in Florida, thank you Sunset Grille! read more

Sunset Grille - view from the top! - Seafood Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

We love Sunset Grille! The ocean breezes with dinner are what beach living is all about. The fried goat cheese salad and fried chicken sandwich are my favorite! Try the mojitos too. read more

Building is all it has for itself. Food is all frozen crap. Very disappointed. Saw a table get their food. 6 different plates All look well boring read more

Great time and food! The chowder fries are awesome! Good drink and beer selection. Good outdoor seating. If you are staying on A1A it is an easy walk. read more

Very fast service and delicious food! Would recommend to friends. Would eat there again.

Yesterday was the second time I had lunch here. I love it. Customer service is a plus. Their signature appetizer clam chowder with fries is amazing. The option for plates are maybe limited but it is still great. They also have different ambience to choose, upstairs with overlooking balcony or inside. Great restaurant. read more

Our Harley Davidson HOG chapter rode out to St. Augustine to have lunch here today. There were about 20 of us, so it was pretty easy to compare food and service. Service: Our table had a great waiter - Luther from Weekhawken, NJ. Funny, yet professional. Food - again - the overall opinion - 7 1/2 out of 10. I had the dry rubbed Baby Back Ribs - a whole rack. Thought I would be taking some leftovers home - wrong. The meat just fell off the bones (I did share a couple, however) and were "out-of-this-world" Served with sweet corn (also great) and Cole slaw (could have been better). Price - $19.99 and worth every penny. Now - about desert. I am attaching a picture because the presentation was elegant (not something I would have thought of from a "beach type" restaurant. Unfortunately - the Key Lime Pie was just OK, but again, the presentation was fabulous. I realize there are numerous restaurants in the St. Augustine area (such as the Oasis), but if your looking for a change - I would definitely recommend Sunset Grille. read more

See all

Had a great experience!! There was a very reasonable wait for 7pm on a holiday, and plenty of space to wait with a drink at the bar in the mean time! Our waiter, Lex was very pleasant, and the crab legs we had we delicious & reasonably priced. Fun, lively, casual atmosphere. Would definitely recommend! read more

We were a party of two for dinner and there was a wait, but it was just as long as they said it would be and it was well worth it. There are benches to sit on while you wait. There was no wait outside but it was chilly so we opted for indoor seating. Everything we ordered was excellent. Crab Bisque, Clam Chowder - both hearty and flavorful; Coconut Shrimp was fresh and the sauce good. They had a tropical salad (with cranberries & mandarin oranges) - it was so-so, There were no frills on it, but I don't think anyone goes there for the salad! Service was fast and friendly. The table next to us ordered the Seafood Enchiladas and raved about them also. read more

Great clam chowder and sandwiches. Enjoyed the atmosphere, eating outside on the first night of spring break was a real bonus! Will definitely eat here again!! read more

Always great. I've sampled a lot from the menu and everything has been stellar. The bar area is nice if you're throwing a few back and the other dining areas are great if you are having a bite with the fam. The fish tacos were delish and the burgers are big and juicy and COOKED CORRECTLY read more

Outstanding meal. Crab bisque was best I have ever had. Coconut shrimp was excellent, as was the Ultimate Seaford Salad.
