A seafood meal gets more fun when the setting joins in. These St. Augustine stops add beach sand, river views, a marina, or Old City energy to the fried shrimp and fresh fish.
O'Steen's fried shrimp has its own ritual
O'Steen's Restaurant has served fried shrimp since 1965. It is cash only and does not take reservations. The wait is part of this local tradition and the children's menu keeps the family included.
Seafood with sand or river views
Aunt Kate's sits under live oaks on the Tolomato River. The outdoor tables and floating dock give children plenty to watch. Beachcomber puts family tables beside the sand where A Street meets the ocean.
A marina basket without the long sit
Grouper Shack serves seafood baskets with fast counter service inside Cat's Paw Marina. The outdoor tables make it easy to watch boats and birds while everyone eats.
Old City seafood and outdoor air
O.C. White's has a garden patio and a bayfront sunset view. St. Augustine Seafood Company is a quicker St. George Street stop with local seafood and a kids section on the menu.
