So I am glad I went yesterday, because they are closed Sunday and Monday. 1. Fried Shrimp was amazing. Try it without the sauce 1st to get the real taste of the sweet shrimp and seasonings. The Shrimp is to die for!!! well not literally. :-) 2. The secret sauce :-) is just right. Not spicey at all. 3. Chicken... more

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

We made a special trip to Osteen's on the way home from the Sawgrass Marriott . My husband saw a great review of the Fried Shrimp on the Food channel a year or so ago.

WOW....says it all! The very best fried shrimp I ever had. Quite a wait but surely worth it. Nothing fancy, just a local small favorite. Don't miss it. more

As a lifelong resident of SA, take it from me, you won't find a better shrimp house in town. This was the birthplace of many of SA's other finer seafood houses - Barnacle Bills, Schooners, Musselwhites. There is ALWAYS a line and for good reason. CASH only! No alcohol. Bring your own adult beverages if you plan on dining inside... more

This IS the place for shrimp, light batter, perfectly cooked, great choice of sides, good prices, very friendly staff. Most of the time there is a wait, but do it! It is well worth it! more

We have been to St. Augustine many times and have ridden by O'Steen's and always wondered why they always had a long line waiting outside. So on this trip we decided to stop and luckily we went on a rainy night and only waited 15 min. but this wait could be hours but worth the wait. The dining room is... 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

Read reviews and thought I'd give it a chance. Was vacationing for a week and wanted some seafood quick and easy. Had the fried shrimp -- very generous portions and even the cole slaw was fabulous. You need to go. I had ordered takeout instead of waiting in line for a table. more
