One Twenty Three Burger House was exactly the kind of lunch spot we were hoping for. Everything…read morejust hit right. I ordered the fish burger and it honestly surprised me in the best way it was way better than I expected. My partner went with the regular burger and loved it too. I also have to mention the banana pudding because it was AMAZING. Easily the best I've had so far, and I'm not even exaggerating. The service really stood out as well. Our waitress went above and beyond to help me figure out what the veggie burger was made of and even looked into the company that makes it since I'm picky about veggie burgers. That level of care doesn't go unnoticed. We dined outside and although noisy from the traffic, it was nice. Overall, such a great experience. They really have something for everyone. Definitely recommend checking it out and don't skip the banana pudding.

First: I paid extra to upgrade to a 1/2lbs from a 1/3lbs. When the burgers arrived, my patty was…read morenoticeably smaller than both my wife and daughter's burger. I asked the server about it and she just told me that it was a 1/2. In an effort to not make a big deal about it, my daughter jumped right in and offered to switch patties with me since she wasn't that hungry. It was immediately obvious that I had a smaller patty since the new one filled the croissant. Second: I asked to substitute the burger buns for the croissant buns they have on a different burger. I was surprised to see the bill showing a $2.50 up charge despite the burgers costing around the same amount and buns being needed anyway + no mention of any up-charge! Third: Our party included two adults + three children + a toddler + an infant. Somehow that warranted an automatic gratuity. We're normally generous tippers but it didn't feel right to have an amount pushed on us without disclosure. We would have tipped anyway despite the servers obvious fake smile and negative demeanor but this just added to the overall poor experience. Our family has no issue paying 25%, or more if service is exceptional, on $600 bills (often at steak houses more-so than regular restaurants) but I walked away feeling cheated here.

My husband's burger, ordered a medium rare, was well done. We didn't see a server for a while after we received our food, so he just ate it. The $4 up charge for sweet potato tots is so not worth a dime. They were inedible, but our server didn't ask how ANYTHING was so there wasn't any opportunity to change, send back etc. My fries were piping hot and tasted good for about five minutes until they cooled. After that, they were very mealy...you know how those taste. So very disappointed after hearing good things about this place. We won't be back here. Plenty of other places to eat in SA. Restaurants are crying the blues about costs, but don't seem to care much about quality any longer. I don't know about you, but until these establishments can show me they care about customers and quality, I'm going to be cautious about spending my money on a lunch costing $70. You?

One of the coolest touches? A TV disguised as a piece of art that's actually a live stream of downtown St. Augustine. Such a fun, unique detail! Now let's talk food I ordered the shrimp and grits tacos, and WOW--they were packed with flavor. The grits added this unexpected crunch that worked so well with the shrimp. The textures blended perfectly and made every bite interesting. My husband went for the Miyagi beef tacos... and let's just say there were zero leftovers. He cleaned his plate, which says everything. Great vibes, creative food, and a memorable experience all around. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

It got pretty busy while we were there, but impressively, they were running with just one server--and he absolutely held it down. Despite the crowd, he stayed attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly, which really stood out. The menu is where things get especially interesting--unique, playful, and definitely not your standard fare. I tried the chicken apple pie sandwich, which was as unexpected as it sounds. It was fun, different, and surprisingly good! It is one of those dishes you won't find just anywhere. Husband loved his upscale bologna sandwich and the waffle fries were yummy! Overall, Treylor Park delivers on atmosphere and creativity. It's a great spot if you're looking for something a little outside the box with a fun, energetic vibe and memorable food.

Had the lamb burger the first time, which was great. This time I had the yummy shaved beef toastie, with sauteed onions and mushrooms, came with good fries and coleslaw I enjoyed. Son had the shaved beef mac and cheese both times with sangria. Since we happened to be there during happy hour we had the $5 sangria and the $4 Tullamore DEW whiskey sour. Everything was very good and our waiter waa great, especially for being short staffed that particular day. Waiter was super helpful as hubby ordered the double smash burger and the waiter poibted out the HH special would net him 2 regular burgers for less. Place is a block parallel to St George and cozy comfortable. Looking forward to going back already.

Went with 3 Cheesesteaks, 2 Wiz Wit (Cheese Wiz & Onion) and 1 White America with Onions. If you're asking well what Herr's did you get it was 2 bags of the Jalapeno Poppers Cheese Curls. They are the best Cheese Puff on the market. So the Cheesesteak, for sure in the top of the 904 area. My go to was the Wiz Wit and this was fulling packed. Tons of steak and plenty of wiz. Everyone knows there is nothing worse then a dry cheesesteak. Bread was soft, onions caramelized and on the bigger side for sure. It's for sure a very finely chopped steak. I can see us coming back and enjoying again.

Unfortunately, the place needs a deep cleaning as exhibited by the insanely dusty chandelier pictured. My burger was pretty good, but the queso con carne was essentially super-greasy chili with cheese on top. There are plenty of other bars/restaurants to choose from, this one wasn't it for me.
