We just got back from our annual trip to St. Augustine, FL. We go down to St. Augustine for The Players Championship golf tournament. The guys go to the tournament and the girls go shopping. The shopping in St. Augustine is AMAZING! The are tons of outlets, and Jacksonville is a short drive away.
St Augustine has become one of our favorite eating towns too.
We ate at several new places on our trip this year and hit up a few favorites too!
**Don’t read this post hungry! There are tons of great food photos coming up!**
We wanted to try a new place near the St. Augustine beaches. I did some research and found lots of good reviews for the Sunset Grille on A1A (beachfront avenue!!!).
We had to try the Datil pepper wings.
Datil peppers are super popular in St. Augustine. They even have a Datil Pepper festival!
The wings were really good. The sauce was a little sweet with a kick from the peppers.
We also ordered some fried pickles.
You just can’t go wrong with fried pickles!
The Coconut Shrimp was crazy good.
It came with green beans and a baked potato.
Chicken Legs got the Ultimate Fish Sandwich with fries.
I got the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich.
I got it blackened, topped with swiss cheese, bacon and onion rings. It came with a side of ranch dressing. It was delicious.
The fish and chips were also a big hit. Look at those potato wedges!

My aunt lives down there. We've eaten at some of the places you mentioned, but the following I didn't see on either list/visit…. Beachcomber (out on St. A beach) Ned's Black Molly (out 312…in the Publix shopping center) Saltwater Cowboy's Georgie's Diner (yummy greek food!) Mary's Harborview Cafe' (on the bay…next to the Best Western Motel. Open only for breakfast and lunch. Best omlettes! Small seating area, great people. Always packed!) Aunt Kate's Restaurant (between Vilano Beach and Ponte Vedra on A1A north) There is also a good restaurant at the Casa Monica Hotel (in the same block as A1A Aleworks)

Yelp is my go-to for dining out when I'm out of town! It has never steered me wrong.
The Floridian, and Ice Plant Bar are my favorites.
Next time you are in town try Metro Diner, Gypsy Cab, Barnacle Bills & Hyppo Popsicles!
I salute your beachfront avenue reference. ; )
Those ribbon fries look amazing. Actually, it ALL looks amazing.
