Had the rib eye which was done perfectly and wife had mahi abaco. Service from jordan was excellent. Great experience.

We love this place, have been coming here for years at the old location. OWNERS PAY ATTENTION: Our server: Jordan is beyond rude and you would think with a wedding party of 20 people you would think she would be happy at the potential for a very large tip she would have better attitude. We spoke to Ryan the manager, and he changed our server to Justin who is awesome!!! Alivia the hostess with the mostest way beyond helpful and accommodating. The whole mood of the wedding party changed immediately. Thank you both so much! **Review below from previous visit** The best local fresh made food in town. Don't tell the tourists! The food is absolutely amazing. Highly, highly recommend The Black Molly! read more

The Black Molly Grill in St. Augustine has some truly amazing food. The chicken marsala was incredible and full of flavor, and the calamari was also excellent and cooked perfectly. Those dishes alone made the meal memorable and worth talking about. Unfortunately, the service and wait time were very disappointing. The wait to be seated was horrible, and once we were seated, our waitress was extremely slow in bringing out the food. One meal came out so late that everyone else was already finished eating, and we were still charged for it, which was very upsetting. Despite the service issues, the quality of the food was strong enough that I would consider going back, hopefully with better timing or improved service, because the food itself was absolutely worth it. read more

Amazing dining experience! A varied menu featuring seafood, steaks, and pasta offers terrific food for everyone in the group. The seafood is the star with terrific, flaky red drum, swordfish, and great shrimp. The steak is fantastic as well. Heck, everything is top notch including the service. I love the elegantly casual beach themed decor. A terrific place for dinner. read more

I haven't had a bad meal here. Their food is so delicious that while I'm browsing the menu to decide what to order, my mouth is watering from remembering the last meal I enjoyed there. The service is great. One thing I like about their staff is, if your wait staff is tied up with another table, someone else will step in and fill your drink. THAT's a good team! read more

Had lunch with my husband and friend today. We had a variety of different lunches and each one of them were delicious. Our waiter, Justin, was helpful and super friendly. I recommend this restaurant completely! read more

Came here for a rehearsal dinner ahead of my friends wedding. There was a decent amount of us (about 30) and service was still pretty good for the most part. They came around often to check if we needed anything and drinks and stuff came out pretty quickly. Drinks were alright, nothing to rave about, and same goes for food. Most of the appetizers we weren't big fans of. For example, the chips on the spinach dip were like soggy or stale. But we really liked the bang bang shrimp. The mussels didn't taste fresh. Nothing was terrible but besides the bang bang shrimp, nothing really blew our socks off. Just average. As for the main meals, everyone enjoyed their food but same thing it wasn't like outstanding. I will say though that the prices at this place are super amazing. It was like $30 for a 12 ounce ribeye which I feel like you never find anywhere. Most meals were in the $20-$30 range. Super affordable for what you're getting. Will I be back? Probably not, but it wasn't terrible. read more

I traveled to St Augustine ( very South Jax) yesterday for work. Carefully planned my day to have lunch at "Black Molly's. A friend of mine family is the owner and has always been in my list. But.. timing is everything. They relocated from the west side of state rd 312 to coastal side. The new place is big and beautiful. I was there way past lunch and way before dinner hoping to score a seat at the bar. They have Hapoy Hour everyday until 7pm. It was not my day so I sat at a 4 top all alone ne no chatter ni banter and ease dropping just me and my phone. Shawna greeted me with a great smile and welcome and quickly scurried to retrieve my beer order. They have a great lunch menu. I ordered the lunch Trout Almondine with pasta salad. The fish was delish but that Pasta salad .. so good.. I almost ordered another side. When I left around 2:45 the restaurant was still booming and not a seat at the bar. I will digress and save that adventure after tourist season. If you haven't been to Black Molly's on your St Aug excursions put them on your list. Ask for Shawna.. she has the best smile read more

Ugh, sad to write this. Fourth visit and everything was just okay. Datil chicken was tough to cut and dry. Sirloin steak had a good flavor but tough to chew. Stuffed mushrooms could of used a hint more of seasoning. Shrimp scampi was good. The crab cakes were moist and delicious. Service was alright. Waitress was nice but, we sat with empty drinks through most of dinner. Bread was promised as soon as we were seated, but didn't arrive until dinner and a reminder. After dinner was dropped, we saw waitress again only to bring bill. Now granted we were given her name and told to ask for her if we needed anything, but there wasn't anyone around to ask. Ambiance is hard to say. Fourth visit and I never make it pass the first aisle of tables (in front of bar). So my view is the bar wall separator on one side and a few wall paintings on the other. With food and service just mediocre, and not improving, we're not sure we'll make another attempt to go back. read more

Super! Colin was our server, he was extremely witty and helpful. Same for Laree that filled us in on the amount of shrimp in the shrimp and grit cakes. And yes, we ordered those and the red (drum) fish. Pear sangrias as our drinks that were delicious as they were not overly sweet. Food was awesome, the cakes firm, shrimps better than the ones at the Reef Restaurant in the same town but that restaurant has the better sauce and cakes. Red Drum, super flaky and fresh, beet and broccoli salads fresh, crunchy and tasty. Lastly, the restaurant has beautiful art hanging on the walls and I'll add a few in this review. 10/10, highly recommended. read more

We started with their delicious soft bread rolls & a house salad. The food was delicious! We tried the ribeye steak with mushroom Marsala. Delicious! The garlic mashed potatoes were perfection!They have a good kids menu, which made somebody happy. Yes! We recommend! The meal was reasonably priced and the food was so good! The view is a retention pond which was okay. Our little one scanned the pond for alligators during the meal but despite the warning sign about alligators and snakes, we didn't see any. read more

Attend a rehearsal dinner here on Friday night. we sat in the back area, which was a partitioned off from the rest of the restaurant. After the first round of drinks, the service was efficient for a large party. We started with the mussels, shrimp snaps, spinach and artichoke dip and calamari. The mussels were my favorite of the apps. I had the Flamingo pasta for my entree which was tasty and a huge portion. Around the table, the opinions were mixed on the food. read more

It's the day after Christmas and it's a little after 1:00 PM and this beautiful restaurant is almost filled to capacity with customers and they just keep coming. Fortunately we were able to be seated without a wait and we were immediately greeted by Jess our wonderful and efficient server - after placing our drink order we looked over the menu and photos of the options on YELP. We decided on the calamari for our appetizer and I must say it was an excellent choice, so tender and crispy prepared lightly dusted and fried perfectly in fresh grease with a delicious marinara. I can't imagine returning here and not ordering this. After going back and forth we decided on the Datil Chicken Sandwich blackened by request, the extra seasoning paired well with the goat cheese and datil jelly condiments, otherwise I think if we had ordered it as stated on the menu it may have been a little on the sweet side, we opted for sweet potato fries which were just okay as were the regular fries we ordered with the O'Hickory Burger which was pretty amazing itself, this quailty burger arrived medium rare with a nice char on a great bun personally I would order this again with a slice of natural cheddar and skipped the lettuce, tomato and onion this burger can stand on its own. The service here is excellent and it seems the owner has staffed it well with talented servers and they definitely got the kitchen staff right as well, the food is delicious and of very good quality. This restaurant definitely deserves a bookmark it's no doubt a memorable experience I can't wait to return... read more

The Black Molly Grill was absolutely a winning choice! We ate on a Saturday night without a reservation, waited less than an hour for our table and hung at the bar. Bar and table service were both excellent. The food was delicious. We had a hard time deciding what to get because so many things looked so good- our server helped us and boy did he steer us in the right direction. I had the fish abaco with Wahoo and my husband had the mahi mahi glow style ... highly recommend! read more

Why haven't we tried this place sooner? We were missing out on a spot super close to our favorite state park. They were busy on a Monday evening but we got excellent service from Lindy? The place is big with good ambiance even when crowded, it doesn't feel like it. We had the rib eye steak with garlic mashed and it was perfect. One of the best steaks I have had in a while! Going on my top choice list for sure. We also had the salmon (Oscar style) with jasmine rice and broccoli. Everything was cooked perfectly. We left with dessert chocolate cake (seemed maybe a bit old? but was still good,and the datil blueberry cheesecake was a unique flavorful well made cheesecake. Can't wait to come back! read more

Black Molly grill is an enjoyable place, and I'll likely be back. This first visit wasn't necessarily a five-star experience, but they do have a gray foundation to build upon. The location is in a truly nondescript area, providing little charm - they share a parking lot with a bank, and the exterior of the restaurant looks very bank-like. They do have a few tables outdoors, an area that overlooks a small lake, which I've included in the photos. The inside has tables near the bar, booths and tables around a well-sized dining room, and what appears to be a separate area that's available for events. The inside is modern and has nice artwork. Our server Caroline had an enthusiastic energy, and checked on us. Periodically - after sitting down we didn't get any of the bread that people talk about (that was fine with us), but perhaps if it's important to you on your visit, you should ask. The meal I had was the wahoo fish dish, Oscar style that came with crab and asparagus and two sides. This place is a true value, since the entree ends up being filling enough not to need a separate appetizer, though they do have quite a few appetizers. So the food is probably a 4.5 star quality, and the service about the same. For the prices that they charge it's quite a value overall. The two areas that hold back a five-star experience include their lack of reservation policy, which creates a bit of a log jam right at the front door. On our visit, we arrived at 4 p.m. for dinner, and there was already about a 10 minute wait. By the time we left, it was even longer. The other issue as people have mentioned is the sound which somehow reverberates off the walls and away it makes this a very loud restaurant. Overall, this is a decent spot with good food, service, pricing and plenty of parking. Just be careful with the time of day that you go, since there can be a wait at peak times. read more

I was hesitant to come here due to a constant packed parking lot. We took a chance with friends on a Friday night and we were not disappointed. The wait was about 35 min for a table. The bar area was crowded so it took a while to get a drink while we waited. Once seated, service was a bit slow but we were talking with our friends so we were fine. I ordered a steak and it was a bit over done so I recommend ordering less doneness to get what you really want. The salad was good and the fries that came with the steak were ok. We will come back as my husband said his shrimp and scallops were great read more

My wife and I ate at Black Molly Grill last evening. Arrived at 5:30 pm thinking that we were early,we had to wait 1/2 hour to be seated. The place was mobbed. It was so noisy that I had to use noise canceling earbuds to have a conversation with my wife. I regret to say the food was not exceptional either. Our server was very nice though. We decided to try this restaurant because of the positive reviews but I have to say that they were not truthful after our experience. The food was just not very good. The ordered Ribeye was over done, blackened to oblivion and the chicken Marsala was also overcooked and poorly seasoned. The ambience was not pleasant and it took almost 15 minutes to get our check after I gave my card to our server. Now I will have to check with my credit card company to verify that I was not subject to fraudulent charges due to the delay. read more

Another delicious dining experience at The Black Molly Grill! Arrived at 11:00 am, just as the restaurant was opening. Greeted by a friendly hostess who seated us at a booth. Our server was efficient and friendly too. Two for the price of one bar drinks, beer and wine was an added bonus. Started with a cup of New England Clam Chowder. Fresh, hot and homemade. Enjoyed a Cobb salad, very generous and filling. Ham, hard boiled eggs, blue cheese and all the traditional ingredients. Dining companion ordered the Salmon with asparagus as a side. Enjoyed it very much. The restaurant filled up quickly but service was speedy. It can get loud due to the acoustics but didn't mind. read more

My husband saw this restaurant on a list of good places to eat in St. Augustine so we figured we would give it a try for an early dinner today. It was a good decision. We arrived around 4:15 and both the parking lot and the restaurant were already full. A good sign for sure. The hostess told us it would be about a 15 minute wait and gave us a beeper. About 10 minutes later our table was ready. The dining room is big and bright with plenty of colorful art pieces on the walls. Our friendly server, Caroline, came right over and took our orders. The menu has plenty of good sounding appetizers, as well as several seafood, steak, chicken and pork entrees. They also have several pasta dishes. I opted for the rainbow trout. It was a good sized almond crusted filet, grilled and topped with lemon butter and toasted almonds. It was very good and a very nice size portion. It came with a side and a salad, or two sides. I chose the garlic mashed potatoes and a house salad. Both were very tasty. My husband had the wahoo fish, Oscar style. His sides were sautéed spinach and asparagus. The food came out pretty quickly, considering how busy the restaurant was. We both enjoyed our meals and the restaurant and would definitely return. read more

I usually say nothing . We have been dining at Black Molly since it opened at Cobblestone. A go to, especially for lunch. Today was different- something was off. There was an unusual wait in being acknowledged at the hostess stand. Ok, they may have had a problem . I understand. After being seated we were greeted by our server. She took our drink order. Upon receiving this we ordered- simple. It was when our order came out that things went totally downhill. My husband's order was correct but mine was not. I distinctly ordered the grilled Mahi sandwich. Even husband heard me. I got the fried Mahi sandwich with blue taco and slaw. When pointed out - she argued that this is the only Mahi sandwich on the menu. The one I ordered is below it - it comes simple either blackened or grilled. Ultimately she took it back to the kitchen and I told my husband to eat as his food would get cold. ( by then his fries were cold) . Also, after our server left she never brought condiments to the table. ( we called over another server who helped us and apologized, telling us that our server was relatively new., she did come over and apologized. Later,after receiving our check, she disappeared again and we grew impatient waiting to leave . My husband found someone else to take our payment. There appeared to us that there was no one in charge , like a manager. The other server tried to be that person. We were so looking forward to an enjoyable dining experience today. read more

We have always loved Black Molly, but since moving to the new location we haven't been as impressed. The quality of the food has gone down. The restaurant itself is beautiful! We love the bar area and felt it wasn't crowded when it came to how the tables were set up. Their bread was wonderful and the app Shrimp bruschetta is a must have. However our meals did not measure up. My husband got fish and it was overcooked although the flavors were good. I ordered shrimp expecting it to be similar to the shrimp in our app but I was disappointed. Overall we had a nice time but may just go for apps and drinks in the future. read more

Wonderful service and atmosphere here. Food is always solid! Ribeye was cooked perfectly. Great experience.

Went there tonight for the first time with a $100 gift card, with semi-high expectations based on the reviews. However while the service was excellent the food was subpar at best. The calamari was inedible, very fishy, too chewy and the breading was bland. We sent that back. The mozzarella triangles were good and the scampi bruschetta was ok although overcooked with mushy shrimp. My son liked his sirloin steak and my other son liked his mahi altho without the lemon sauce it was bland. I'd be shocked if that was really fresh caught mahi, never frozen. I had the chicken Datil which was decent and my wife had chicken Marsala that was also ok but she said it was loaded with salt. The Caesar salads were drenched in a commercial/industrial dressing with limp lettuce. I feel bad writing this because the service was excellent. But the food including the bread was just a low quality variety and possibly the cooks not properly trained. read more

People love this place but it wasn't my style. Nice that they have drinks which are fine, basic. Shrimp appetizer was the best thing we ordered. Entree crab cake was OK.
