    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Shrimp Salad Wrap and cucumber onion salad
    Kim W.

    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!

    Banana Pepper Calamari
    Ariann A.

    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.

    Tiki carvings and elevated dining platforms for those  wanting to enjoy the larger creek view.

    Lovely tiki-inspired restaurant & bar with local seafood and lovely wait staff. If in the St Augustine Beach area, recommend you give it a try! Oh ... and the kids will appreciate the alligators! Live display in support of the local Alligator rescue farm 1.5mi away! Cool place ... sorry no food photos - too busy eating and forgot to take.

    Shrimp & Grits

    The food was delicious! The service was amazing and I loved how the tables are spread out. They have live music after 3:00 at the marina. I loved the view of the water while eating!

    St. Augustine Fried Dátil Chicken
    Chad D.

    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. Over the top friendly and all smiles. I had family in from out of town and they wanted some fresh seafood. They were very pleased with everything they order. I really enjoyed the fried chicken. Unfortunately none of us had room for dessert.

    My wife and I stopped in here with two of our friends living in Saint Augustine. I wish I would've taken pictures of the actual dishes as they were fabulous! We opened with adult beverages and then had conch. Fritters. My dish was a salad that had jerk flounder on it. Absolutely delicious! Super traffic place to take people! We look forward to coming back during our next visit!

    Flounder Salt Run Catch style
    Matt C.

    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!

    Most of the food was good. Our server, Jessie, was really fun and sweet. I'm disappointed ,because one of our party members is vegetarian and tasted seafood in the sauce of her pasta. She didn't eat, but 2 bites the manager refused to remove it from the bill. Sadly, we were on vacation for my birthday and this was a down point

    No, it's not a thing but they still have great bands and if you can land there when that cactus is playing they are fucking awesome.

    You have live music?

    Yes they do, but call ahead to check what days . Check the website also . Great place to sit at the tiki bar and listen to music

It's a really comfortable and well-done space with a great atmosphere, laid-back and yet still lively. They've got heaters going when it's chilly and umbrellas for when the sun gets a little intense, so it's a solid spot no matter the weather.

And I get it. It's a steakhouse. My friends all love steaks.

I personally just had the sides as I hate onion and I could not get a vegetarian pasta without onion. The pros are everyone on the staff was wonderful! Bartenders, our server Jonny, hostess, valet guys, etc. The cons are the chairs are cheap and uncomfortable, the space is dressed up a bit for a hotel but still a hotel restaurant, some of the patrons had on shorts and ball caps. For the menu prices a dress code should be enforced and more comfortable seating available. I still want to check out the sunset rooftop and the bread is worth another trip. Other than that, I have other places in SA I lean toward.

I checked the Yelp reviews ahead of time and it definitely lived up to them. People in our group started with drinks and everyone at the table seemed happy with what they ordered.

Someone else at the table had the Rockefeller crusted snapper and that looked and tasted great as well. For appetizers, I had the shaved pear and blue cheese salad. It was really good and honestly enough for two people to share as an appetizer. People at the table also ordered the Devils on Horseback and liked them. I do not eat bacon, but they were happy with that dish. The deviled eggs with southern fried oysters looked really good, and I had the smoked salmon spread, which was very good too. I also saw the shrimp and grits come out for someone else and that dish looked excellent. For dessert, I had the sticky toffee pudding and it was a strong finish to the meal.

We started with the Chili-Lime Shrimp, and that dish alone set the bar high. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and coated in a spicy chili-lime garlic sauce that had just the right kick. The miso butter emulsion and sweet soy tied everything together with a rich, slightly sweet finish. The Poke Tuna was fresh and vibrant--sashimi-grade ahi tossed in a cashew-citrus ponzu with red onion, cucumber, and seaweed salad. The fried wontons added a nice crunch that balanced the dish beautifully. The Mediterranean Pizza was a pleasant surprise. The combination of green olives, spinach, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, goat cheese, and garlic worked really well together on a crisp crust, giving you a savory bite with a hint of tang. The Surf & Turf Fried Rice brought bold flavors to the table. Tender beef tips and shrimp sauteed in a spicy chili glaze over vegetable fried rice, finished with fried garlic, chili oil, miso butter, and sweet soy--it was rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. The Beef Tenderloin was cooked just right--tender and juicy--paired with creamy mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a decadent truffle sauce that elevated the whole dish. Beyond the food, the service truly stands out--warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel taken care of throughout the entire meal. They also offer an excellent selection of wines, beers, and spirits, along with a solid dessert lineup that's worth saving room for. To top it all off, there's plenty of parking available, which is always a bonus in a busy dining area.
