Can not describe the experience to give this place the proper praise . My boyfriend surprised me with an amazing trip to St Augustine knowing it's one of my favorite cities. He found this beautiful place that is well known to the locals. The food is amazing the menu has a variety of choices that are excellent. It was a great experience to end an amazing weekend with my partner. He had everything planned and could not have been happier with the outcome. read more

Service ok. Good wine selection. Mussels not good I complained to our server and he could care less. I looked forward based on the reviews sadly not up to expectations. The couple next to us also disappointed and they have been coming for years. Our first time and last time here. No offer for dessert or to make things right. We dine out a lot and this was extremely disappointing. read more

Great small steak house restaurant in the Butler/Crescent Beach area. They serve more than elk steaks. You can also get ahi tuna and a delicious Cioppino! Pretty good specials, too. I enjoyed a hanger steak special with a nice Cab that I still dream about. No reservations so you might have to wait. They close up seemingly early as do most establishments on this part of the island. read more

Amazing food! Amazing service! Busy ambiance, but fun. They have a great wine selection and you can sit at the bar and have dinner as well. We've been here several times, and have never been disappointed! read more

Everything except for the chicken dishes were absolutely amazing and the 2 chicken entrees weren't bad, they just were not great. Worth noting, if you want liquor, this is not your place. Our server forgot to mention the specials or that the "cocktails" were mocktails. When we rolled up to The packed parking lot and saw this little A framed place I was somewhat skeptical that we were going to get a table. Luckily, they said there would be one in less than 30 mins. We walked in and saw a bunch of people looking like they were loving their meal. The walls slanted and almost to the back of the heads of many of the clientelle was interesting. I knew this might be an issue with me being tall, but I had the let the older ladies that I was dining with sit in the other side so they could easily get to the bathroom if needed. Both of the tuna and the fried shrimp appetizers were something I would daily if I lived nearby. The scallops were superb as well. The cheese curds were worth it if that's your kind of thing, but we didn't need them. I personally got the shrimp and grits and no complaints here. But like I said, the other 2 got the airline chicken and the baked ziti add chicken. Northern of which did I consider anything special. And time in driving through the area I'll ponder a visit back here! read more

always a great spot to dine and it's never less than great. They frater specials daily, jar a great menu with wine and beer. Treat yourself and the staff is amazing by the way! read more

We found this local gem on our last trip to crescent beach, and ate here twice during our week stay because the food was that good!! Our server was cheerful and remembered us the next time we came in. She was helpful with recommendations. We all enjoyed our appetizers, meals, drinks, and desserts! The building is a very unique design and doesn't feel like you're in FL. Will be back next time we're in town!! read more

We have been to many restaurants in the area during our yearly visits to St Augustine and Elkhouse was one of the very best. Too many establishments we used to go to have become move em in and out tourist traps with mediocre food and surly untrained staff. We walked into this cool A-frame with a large screened in and covered deck. We were immediately greeted by Kelly who was delightful and knowledgeable and added to a great experience. I had the hanger steak which was one of the the most tender and tasty cuts of beef I've ever had. My wife had the Cobb salad with chicken that was fresh and huge. Good to know someone still has high standards. Will be back. read more

Service was very good, the food was great! Nice place off A1A St. Augustine Florida. I ordered the scallops and cioppino both were delicious. read more

Amazing food as always! Great time tonight! You outshine and are so much classier than your nearby competitors.

Absolutely amazing! So glad I came! I have driven passed it many of times and always wanted to give it a try, but never have been able. At first sight I pictured it to be a fancy dress code type of restaurant not suitable for kids. Regardless my two daughter come with me everywhere. We stopped in there was no dress code inside is very much like an old log cabin style. We were seated since I arrived at 4:30pm and they opened at 5. I just waited since I was already in the area. I ordered a Pinot Noir and our food. There is no kid menu, my toddler loves fries so I ordered a side of fries, and I shared my plate with my ten y/o my husband we also had an entree of fish. Everything was wonderful, they have coffee! Bonus along with their creme brulee that was divine. Prices were decent, staff were great! We will be back! read more

We celebrated 27th Anniversary at Elk House because we know they have great food and service. Appetizer was delicious Scallops. My Wife had a delicious steak strip cooked perfectly strip medium rare and mashed potatoes. I had their Seafood with marina and linguini: big prawns, clams, mussels & oysters - Yum!

Very good selection, great food, and friendly atmosphere!. I'm going to take my husband back with me the next time!

My top 5 restaurants! Excellent food every time. A little noisy but the food is delicious!

The food was good and service was too. I had a friend that only eats regular food try the elk and said it was good.

Amazing food and service. We love this place. All their food is excellent without exception. Great wine too

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! Thanks for making my wife's birthday special!

My favorite establishment of all time - I couldn't recommend it enough. The staff & food is above and beyond, I've never left this place disappointed in either. Some of the best dinner nights I've ever had took place here in the Elk house read more

Excellent appetizers and good wedge salad Wine selection could have been better Beer selection is good Meat dishes very very good read more

Food, service and atmosphere. This restaurant had everything I needed, in order to celebrate a beautiful birthday dinner for my wife. Top notch in every aspect and we will certainly be stopping in again, for our anniversary dinner in a couple of weeks. If I were local to the area, this would be our Friday night date spot for sure. read more

What welcoming place tucked in a little A-frame building off A1A on the island is a terrific little eatery and they don't just serve elk. Excellent service, terrific food and a great drinks menu. read more

Superb entrees along with an amazing presentation. Service was on point. Highly recommend if you are looking to try something different.

Always amazing service and food. The new specials anytime we go are always wonderful! The outside is a brown/triangle and a dirt parking lot, but the inside is so special and upscale. Always full and pleased when we leave Elk House :-) read more

The food was out of this world awesome! We had steaks and seafood! 11/10 Our server Mark was great! Can't wait to go back!

Great food as you can see in the photos! Mark was our very attentive server. Our group sat on the back porch and enjoyed our dinner. Great place! read more

This is a great seafood place. Nice menu, friendly staff and good food. I had the Sea Scallop Pesto, which is wild caught sea scallops over linguini in creamy curry pesto with fire roasted peppers and grilled ciabatta. I usually ask if certain items on the menu are farm-raised or wild caught but it was described on the menu. Nice atmosphere, even at the bar, where my server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back. read more

Food and service were fabulous! Small A-frame establishment with cozy vibe...we ate on the front porch and were seated quickly. The menu is quite diverse with many choices of meats and seafood which makes this a solid choice for the hard-to-please group. The romaine wedge is a good starter for 2-3 people and the oysters were delish! Our group had the seafood pasta and flounder special...all very tasty, hot, and curated beautifully. We did not have dessert but the options sounded great. Our server, Tony, was pleasantly chatty, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu and wines. read more

Food was exceptional! Server was attentive and very helpful! Indoor seating was full so it was quite loud! We will go back to try some other dishes! read more

We've been coming to St Augustine for 3 yrs and I've been wanting to try The Elk house eatery. Finally, I got my wish. Now, I'm kicking myself for not making it in sooner. Better late than never. 1st let me give our wonderful waiter Dylan a huge thank you. You are wonderfully attentive, kept checking in without hovering. You let us enjoy our meal that we were savoring. You made us feel like we were in Europe, where food is savored and not rushed. My husband and I came in for our anniversary. We started with Ahi Tuna Tartare Tower oh my world. The sear on the tuna with all the peppercorn on a bed of seaweed with an aioli drizzle is a combination of flavors that burst and melt in your mouth. The Crap Dip Appetizer (2) is a medley of flavor that was delicious, with thick chunks of fresh crab meat and came with a side of freshly toasted French bread. Now for the main entrée. I had the Elk steak with broccolini and cheese mashed potatoes with a mushroom gravy. Cooked medium rare to perfection. My husband had the ribeye with cheese mashed potatoes. Another masterpiece. We were so full but left room for dessert. I had the salted caramel cheesecake and my hubby had the crème brûlée. He said it was the best crème brûlée he has ever had outside of Paris. The atmosphere is very nice. The restaurant reminds me of a small hunting lodge in the Alps. Get there early, because the place fills up quickly. And don't make my mistake of waiting this place is a MUST. read more

we had dinner here. i had the hanger steak with pesto, it was delicious and cooked to perfection. my wife had the airline chicken and was very flavorful and both pared well with the bottle of Bonanza Cab. we had. Mark our server was attentive in just the right amount. this is our 2nd time here and they did not disappoint. the only reason they did not get 5 stars was the noise level is extreme. the inside is an alpine sharp pointed ceiling, so the sound of the other diners comes back down like a megaphone on 11! that is the only negative, we have to almost the shout to each other to be heard. hopefully, they solve this issue soon. read more

Outstanding food, wine and dessert. We started with oysters and a large Cobb dinner salad that we split. The bacon was awesome and everything was fresh and made to order. Roberto ordered the lobster gnocchi special which had large lobster chunks. It was delicious without being too heavy. I had the Hanger steak with chimichurri and Asparagus. It was really one of the best steak entrees I have had without getting a filet, Ribeye or NY Strip. I highly recommend it. We still had room for dessert so we split the crème brûlée. It was delicious and not "Reggie" at all. We will definitely be back! read more

Very delicious food, cute A-frame ambiance, excellent service--Kelly is awesome! Very clean, easily accessible, large restroom. Outdoor covered patio with more tables. I read the Yelp reviews and decided to try The Elk House Eatery at Crescent/Butler Beach, FL. All the reviewers I read awarded 5 stars and so have I. We arrived just after 5 pm on Tuesday night. We were warmly greeted and Kelly quickly provided us with unsweet iced tea with lemon. The hot crab dip did not disappoint (Kelly cautioned that it was quite warm and slightly spicy.) It was served with toast. My DC chose the special, elk stroganoff with noodles, which he enjoyed (oh so tender!) l ordered hanger steak rare with white cheddar mashed potato. It was served with chimmichurri and a slice of watermelon radish with tiny sprouts. Although we were happily full, we decided to celebrate our 59th wedding anniversary with crème brûlée. Everything was great and we WILL return. Thanks for a wonderful celebration dinner! read more

Always great service! I've been 10+ times and never had a bad meal, family loves the pork chop
