Come for the views and the vibes! The tiki huts on the water are so intimate and romantic, I loved them! The whole setting was wonderful and they even have alligators! As for the food, we had the conch fritters and cracked conch. I absolutely loved the cracked conch, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the fritters. It was a little too much breading and I wasn't a fan of the peppers inside of them. The cracked conch came with a sweet bbq sauce and it was really good, but their homemade hot sauce tasted a lot better! As for the entrees, we got the Mahi tacos which were fantastic. The Mahi was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The only downside was that the flour tortilla was very stale. A simple fix but it did really hold the dish back. The rice was also flavorful. I also got the shrimp Anastasia, which I would give a 1/5. I really did not enjoy it at all. The sauce/broth lacked flavor. The tomatoes and mushrooms just tasted unusual in the dish, and the prosciutto was out of place. The dish was incohesive and I could make better pasta at home. I wouldn't this dish again. However, the other dishes and atmosphere made up for my disliking of one dish. read more

I recently visited The Conch House in St. Augustine with a large party and had a pretty good experience overall. I ordered the Fresh Daily Catch, mahi-mahi, with broccolini and mashed potatoes. Everything was great pretty good. The dish overall was a little too lemony to my liking yet overall well prepared. Our server Cas was definitely a highlight. She was friendly, attentive, patient, and took the time to answer all of our questions, especially with such a large group. That said, not everyone in our party was completely satisfied with what they ordered, so the experience seemed to vary depending on the dish. For my meal, though, I enjoyed it and would consider coming back to try something else on the menu. read more

We were in town for a long weekend for a concert and planned to come here from dinner before we went back home. It came highly recommended from locals and online. Restaurant was easy to find and close to our hotel, plenty of parking. When we walked up, the views were nice as it's on the water. Nice signage. We walked in and were able to get seated inside right away (it was raining out otherwise we would have sat outside) but they sat us at a window seat so that was nice. Our server came by soon after, was attentive and friendly the rest of the evening. Appetizers - We ordered the gator tail and calamari. That must have been THE most tender calamari I've ever had! The breading was also very good and light - and the pepper sauce they give with it... wow very good! The gator was also very tender and good! Entrees - I ordered the Butter Rum Scallops and my husband ordered the Shrimp & Grits. My first bite of my entree was heavenly... I REALLY enjoyed it. It was sooooo good. That butter rum was something else. Scallops were perfectly cooked. My husbands was very good too - great flavor!! The grits were perfect. Then we ordered a Key Lime Pie to go (way too stuffed to eat it there lol!) but when we had some later that night... probably our favorite key lime pie ever! The consistency of it was like jelly like and it was SUPER good! Overall - a 10/10 experience here! Would definitely come back and hopefully on a nicer day so we can sit outside with the water views. read more

This place is such a cool venue! Absolutely think it is unique and one of a kind. The food is good and almost like pirate and beach sea worthy vibe! Staff are fun and an all ages friendly place! Definitely will come back and try again. It's priced right for what it is and has a big menu! It's a "playdate and bum downtown saint Augustine," then try this for lunch type of spot. read more

The Conch House Restaurant - Fried Shrimp - Caribbean Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Came out to see a band play and it was a time! In all the years I've been in the area I had never really been to see a band here! The drinks were great. And some were quite a heavy pour... if you're into that kind of thing. And the lines in the bar area out back went pretty quick and the service was lovely. However the food was a different story. We were told a certain amount of time and it ended up being about double that. I heard the same story from others as well. We had to order basically "to go" inside and wait and take it outside to our table. Fine process. But LONG. The food was pretty good tho. Can't rush tasty food. It would just be nice to have a more accurate time. If you say 15 mins I'll just wait there. But when it's nearing 40 mins and now I've missed some of the band - that's a bummer. I would have just gone back out and came back to check in. Idk. There has to be a better process there somewhere. It won't keep me away tho! read more

Such a nice atmosphere. Our server, Eva, was very friendly, service minded and the food was second to none. I had the shrimp perlou which is a house speciality. It was amazing. Definitely recommend this restaurant/resort to any and all read more

What a great place!! Unique and beautiful outdoor seating. My husband had their chicken sandwich and I had their pasta (added shrimp ) Sooooo tasty and great service too!! Being in the water... you may want to bring a light jacket or sweater if you're outside in the early evening. Cute and classy gift shop reeled me in too The claim to fame is definitely their KEY LIME ‍ pie x1000 Thee very best key lime pie I have ever had in my 56yrs of life read more

This is the spot if you want to dine by the water. Amazing views, great service, cute decor, and good food. My dad and I came for an early dinner on the patio and later discovered there's a separate bar area right out on the dock. They don't serve food out there, just drinks, but it's such a cool space. It felt like a little nautical speakeasy. I ordered a Caesar salad with blackened chicken and honestly wasn't too impressed. My dad got the conch club and the flavors were great. The chicken on his sandwich was actually more tender than the chicken on my salad. We also ordered a side of hush puppies, which I usually don't go for since I'm not from the South, but they were surprisingly really good. We went on a slower weeknight, but I was impressed by how massive the parking lot is. It definitely seems like they can handle a big crowd. Overall, a really nice spot for the views and atmosphere. read more

Came and were seated immediately! They have great indoor and outdoor seating, we sat outside in a cabana which was really nice. The calamari and shrimp bake were our starters and were very hot and fresh! I had the island hopper salad with blackened salmon and it was SOOO good, the perfect summer salad. My friends also enjoyed their meals. I'd definitely recommend if you're ever in the St. Augustine area read more

Places like this used to be dotted all along the FL coast. Now they are few & far between, but luckily Conch House remains a bastion of calm, charm and hospitality. This was supposed to be a girls' getaway (which it would have been perfect for) but unfortunately I ended up having to attend a funeral in town so only slept here. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful updated shower. Everyone I encountered provided great hospitality though (front desk & I grabbed a piece of key lime pie right before the restaurant closed). I look forward to returning so I can enjoy the amenities and location to the fullest. read more

Great place for a nice dinner. We came here around 6 pm on Saturday. They don't take reservations. We were seated immediately. It was a cold rainy day so we sat inside. They have a nice menu with different options. I had market fish tacos. They were pretty good. Fish was fresh and cooked well. Service was friendly and attentive. They also have some unique drinks. Ambiance is laid back. We also ordered smoothie for our child and that wasn't good at all. Was pure sugar, and seems like was made from some premade stuff and not from fresh fruit. Other than that we were happy with everything else. read more

This cool restaurant is accessible by boat and car. There are neat "high rise" dining areas on the outside deck and spacious indoor dining though the indoors can be a bit noisy depending on the parties dining there. Staff is friendly and very efficient. We started with a cup of their World Famous Minorcan Conch Chowder that is spicy, tangy, and delicious! Our Banana Pepper Calamari was a crispy delight. My Fried Shrimp Platter was so good, I ate it all. Normally have to take some home from getting too full. Not today, this was too darned good and I totally stuffed myself. My husband's Caribbean Chicken Sandwich was just as good. This is a great place to take a date, friends and family, or even a group of party goers. Enjoy the lively ambience and excellent food! read more

The Conch House Restaurant was great. We arrived expecting a long wait, they said 25-35 minutes, and took us less than ten to get seated. Our waitress was wonderful, her name escapes me, but she was great. I had the Minorcan Smash burger, which was great! Mark had the nights special of a grilled fish (mahi?) It was wonderful! It was a bit chilly, the wind was blowing. The palatable (sp?) style tables were adorable! read more

I guess I never finished my first review! Second time was just as good. Ordered the same thing LOL The only thing is no hard alcohol til 1. So I drank wine. Next time it's a rum drink for me. We have been wanting to try The Conch house and there is usually always a wait. We happened to be in town on a weekday and thought we would give it a try. It was a great idea! No wait, fast friendly service. I ended up with a shrimp salad wrap with cucumber and onion salad. We started off with cracked conch. Everything was great - fresh and very satisfying. I can't remember our server's name but she was great. We will definitely be back but next time we want to sit in a tiki hut table. They looked fun! read more

Always a good time at Conch house bar on the water!! The bartenders are friendly and the music is awesome.

The Conch House Restaurant has such a beautiful view from the cabana seating! We ordered the fish tacos and banana pepper calamari which were more than enough to share between two people. We loved the hot sauce that was provided and honestly preferred it to the banana pepper sauce. Our server was so kind and knowledgeable about the menu as well and was honest with us about his favorites on the menu. I loved my experience here. read more

This restaurant is an absolute dump to begin with.. there's birds flying all over and stealing your food. I have a service dog that I have brought for years to this place and for some reason the "karen" manager all the sudden has a problem with it.. wish I would of got her actual name, but for now she's just your typical karen and breaking out her little rule book to try and explain non sense to me. don't go to this roach infested establishment. The service sucks and they have a bunch of inconsiderate little 20 year olds that are completely clueless working there. And to the 45 year old manager again who tried to tell me how I can't have a service dog there you possibly are the most brainless human I have ever encountered.. no wonder why your old ass is 45 and still work at a restaurant. read more

No matter how busy they are the wait is usually not that long unless you're waiting for a palapa table, and you can always go down to the end of the pier and get a drink and sometimes there's a Caribbean reggae band playing down there. Get a tropical drink and check out the crow's nest. Fabulous views of the marina, and if you have a boat, even better, tie up for lunch. The menu is pretty standard I would say nothing special, but I sort of feel that way about most of the restaurants in town. The clam chowder however was DELICIOUS, and I could've just stopped there and been as happy as a ... We've been here many times and the service is always next level. These servers have a really tough job running up and down those stairs with giant trays and they're always super friendly and attentive. They must do extra service training with their people and it shows. It's really a perfect place to go on a sunny day. read more

This is a great place to have a drink and/or getting a bite to eat. We had no wait time for a table. We got a table outside with a nice view. Our waitress was a ball of energy.

The Conch House Restaurant - St. Augustine Fried Dátil Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Food: The Grouper sandwich was amazing. A nice prince of fish perfectly seasoned. The fried shrimp had a large amount of fried shrimp. Everything is amazing when you add Conch house Datil sauce! The keylime pie had a weird jelly/Jello consistency (5/10). So I was not a fan. Service: Super friendly and responsive. Ambiance: Great beach vibe. Awesome "treetop" seating. We sat Inside in the Ac because it happened to be super hot inside. Good for kids. And they handle large parties well. We came on the boat and docked. Super easy. Will absolutely come again read more

This used to be my absolute favorite restaurant. Still in top ten but the wait is always forever and you can almost never get a hut anymore it seems. I've not had any issues with service except there is one bartender (guy) that's a little rude. He works out on the dock when they have live music. To be fair they are always very busy. Food is still pretty great. read more

Great recommendation from a local! Started with a great rum runner, add the dark rum floater! Fried conch app, then had the conch chowder, entree was the flounder(Salt Run Catch style, amazing!), and finished with the key lime pie. My wife and I split the entree and dessert and we were both very full! Great service by a local waitress that gave great advice. And the vibe was low key and very relaxing! Nice breeze from the water. There also have a nice tiki bar down from the main restaurant that serves just drinks and you can watch the fishing boats come in. Thanks Elysia Carter! read more

The Conch House Restaurant - Lobster Mac& Cheese. - Caribbean Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

We're locals and this was our first time here, we took my parents as they came for a visit for my birthday. Ambience is really cool. Perfect for a casual night out. Bar was hopping, live music. It's giving outdoor tiki which we loved. Food was decent, on par with every other seafood restaurant in Florida. Our waitress was great. On to the negatives - the hostess stand and or management is disorganized. Came up at 8:20 and asked for a table of 4. We inquired about an over water tiki hut and were told they stop seating those at 8pm because it gets dark. That's fine. Was told a 45 min wait, we agreed to join the list through yelp. We asked for first available, indoor or outdoor. On the plus side, the wait ended up being closer to 30 mins. However, there were tons of free tables the entire time we waited. Tiki huts were empty. The whole inside only had 2 tables sat. We asked to see a menu while we waited and got an audible sigh and eye roll. When our table was called, the hostess called 4 other groups at the same exact time, leading to a lot of confusion. As we are sitting and eating (it's now 9:30) a couple walks in. They're led to a table on the patio and asks to go into a tiki hut instead, which they are promptly sat in after they clean it off. So we asked our waitress, what's the deal! She said oh just ask the hostess and they can put you on the list for those huts. So not sure what happened. Overall- ambience 8/10 Food 7/10 Service (waitress) 10/10 Management (hostess) 4/10 Not sure if we'll go back because of the disorganization, unnecessary wait times, and rude hostesses. read more

We've been going to this restaurant for over 25 years. Two days ago we took our friends for out of town. We were very surprised to learn that the fried shrimp dinner now only comes with one hush puppy, and if you want extra sauce they change $.75!! Nice view but petty extra charge.. read more

Worst restaurant experience since relocating to Florida. Maybe an off day because of the weather. I was served fish tacos that sat underneath a heat lamp, wilting the lettuce (slaw) and toasting g the corn (salsa). Supposed to be lime cream sauce was actually tartar sauce. Cilantro rice was just rice pilaf. Husbands Cuban was inedible (taste). Ham was just poor quality. Hard no. No we don't complain. We just paid the bill and left. We won't be back. read more

Sitting outside in tiki huts, provides a great view of the marina, but they do also have indoor seating.

I really liked this on the water seafood spot! The conch fritters were tasty and the tacos were packed with flavor. The coconut rice was my fav part. My only gripe is that when I called to ask about the tiki bungalow tables, I was told that they were first come first serve. But the very next day when we arrive, we were told they were closed?? Plenty of other restaurants were serving outside, so I was bummed I didn't get the chance to have that experience. Service was great. I had a lot of questions on the menu and she answered them like a pro. This was a top choice place in St Augustine! read more

Blackened mahi was not spicy as claimed and did not taste well. The collard greens actually tasted better than the entree. The signature rum drink, goombay smash, tasted like bitter orange juice. Overall, the preparation of the meal and drink was done in haste and lacking in flavor and expired seasoning. Not to mention, our server brought out just one dish and provided two plates to share. We placed an order for two. read more
