The best seafood in St.Augustine. All the locals keep the wait times up to an hour plus. So, they can't all be wrong! Great numerous sides to choose from. Friendly staff and LARGE portions of seafood. more

We live in NC and travel through SA about twice a year. We will vary our travel plans to hit this place. It's also a cash only place. They don't need the credit card business and so just don't bother with the banks and their merchant discounts. How many restaurants are good enough that they can afford the luxury of... more

Dined twice in March '09. Can't beat the price for fried shrimp. Not much else. Go before 5 pm or expect long wait. more
