At O’steen’s there is always a wait, but I love the seafood platter (shrimp, fish, crab cakes, oysters, and scallops). So what I like to do is call in a takeout order and drive down the street half a mile to Anastasia State park where they have a picnic table at the beach. more

I've tried fried shrimp around the world...O'steen's is the best hands down. I took a four hour drive, one way, out of my way, so that I could eat those shrimp again! The sides are very good, the selection is great, I just can't get past ordering anything but the shrimp! more

Don't believe what the locals say, they must have never been out of town. The food was bland and everything tasted the same.. The blank flour dough taste was on everything. After all of the hype we heard about this place, we were very disappointed. We noticed the clientele was all elderly mixed with some locals and tourists that were... more

O'Steen's has the best fried shrimp I have ever had! Their sides are also delicious, however they only make a certain amount of each side for the day and when they run out, they run out. Try the squash casserole and the sweet potato casserole! While there is always a wait, O'Steen's has worked with their neighbors to make your... more

I've been going to O'Steen's for years, especially throughout the late 90s and early 00s. I am a healthy eater and avoid fried food about 99% of the time, but I will make an exception for this place. The fried, butterflied shrimp are exceptionally light and full of flavor, certainly not heavy, crunchy or greasy like other fried shrimp. Words... more

I was not crazy about it, mostly because there is ALWAYS a wait! We got there before the dinner hour and waited for an hour & a half. Be sure and bring CASH. They do not accept credit or debit cards. The foods WAS very good. But I was also famished by then. haha. But, everyone raved about the shrimp... more

We ate here in July on vacation after reading the reviews here. It is indeed a very good place to eat. My 12 yr. old son loves shrimp, so he ordered the 1 1/2 order, as did my husband and I. My son and I had leftovers for another meal. The regular order would have been enough though. The shrimp... more

A visit to St. Augustine would not be complete without a stop at O'Steens. The 24 piece dish of fried shrimp is 'to die for' and serves two people perfectly. Always get the 'special sauce' which completes the dish. The restaurant is about a block or two from the Lions Bridge heading into ht old town of St. Augustine on... more

O'Steen's restaurant came highly recommended, so on our recent trip to St. Augustine, we gave it a try. We arrived at the restaurant shortly after 6PM and was seated at 7:30PM. Now my husband is not one to wait, so I was happy that the restaurant sent us to the Pub a few doors down and called us when our... more
