Best Seafood Boil Ever!

The best seafood boil my boyfriend and I have ever had hands down! I absolutely loved the shrimp and grits. It was a huge portion and very filling. We also got Conch fritters as an appetizer, they were very fresh and light. They came with 6 fritters, about the size of ping pong balls. Our server was Mason. He was very attentive and nice. We will most definitely be back, but with our families!

This Visit Was a 10 out of 10!

Okay but can we talk about how stunning the new Kingfish Grill location is?! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was so coastal and classy. And our server, Candace, was an absolute gem. She was so warm, attentive, and just had that perfect mix of professional and friendly that makes you feel instantly at home. She made GREAT recommendations, kept everything flowing perfectly, our glasses were never empty and honestly made the whole experience next-level amazing. Between the gorgeous new space, incredible food, and flawless service — this visit was a 10/10. If you haven’t been to the new Kingfish Grill yet, go and ask for Candace!

We Were So Impressed!

Tried the new location and we were so impressed! The space is beautifully redone stylish, clean, and welcoming. We ordered the mahi sandwich, crab cakes, and the Thai peanut salad with mahi (request with sauce on the side), and everything was delicious. The fish was fresh, a generous portion, and cooked to perfection. Rachel took great care of us she was attentive, quick, and offered helpful recommendations. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.

What a phenomenal dining experience !
What a phenomenal dining experience at the Kingfish Grill, the best seafood restaurant in St. Augustine, FL! We are from the Maine/NH area and have traveled throughout the US. Recently, we visited many locations in Florida and Kingfish was recommended while on the east coast. We started and shared some sushi, which was so fresh and delicious, followed by Horseradish Encrusted Mahi and Fresh Wild Sea Scallops - truly the best meal we had in the entire state of Florida! Our server, Alison, was super fun and helpful with the menu options from seafood to ribs, steaks and fresh sushi. The location is a little out of downtown (approx. 3 miles), but definitely worth the short drive. We rate the Kingfish Grill an easy 5 Star Restaurant and can't wait to go back for the best seafood and sushi offering!

Now Location is Much Improved!
We tried the new location in Cobblestone Plaza (yes, they relocated from the Camachee Cove Marina). The new property is completely renovated from the previous Black Molly property, and it looks remarkable! A beautiful bar (TV needs to be a little larger), and lots of space between tables. What a difference! We had a group of six, our server was Katie, and she was very good Everyone agreed the food was excellent. Our group had the shrimp and scallop pasta, the sushi sampler, the Bubba Gump sushi plate, and fried shrimp platter. Served up hot, and fresh. We tried a bottle of the Train Wreck cabernet sauvignon wine, and it paired well with the various meals. Highly recommend it as something new for your next night out.

OMG!
This place is off da hook! Great food, great and friendly service and staff, great ambiance! Highly, Highly, Highly recommended! If you miss this place, you’re only hurting your life experiences! The KeyTinini was great too! I had the grilled mahi-mahi and the boss had the Captain’s Plattter. The batter is light and delicious in itself.

Excellent food and portion size!
One of the few times in the last year that I finished my meal and not still hungry. The food was outstanding and the portions were better than most others. Their drinks we had at happy hour were outstanding. And the service and atmosphere was perfect. Will definitely return!

Keep it up!!!! Kingfish Grill the best seafood in St Augustine
My wife and I have been hitting Kingfish heavily in the last few weeks. Wow, we sat at the bar twice and the bartender Kelly is a Rockstar! Great service, always busy and a consummate professional. We sat at a hightop a few times and the service is excellent as well. My wife loves the swordfish sandwich and I always hit the daily specials menu. The mussels on the special board are the best we've ever had. I tried the flatbread on Friday, very tasty. We also enjoy the music as of late, easy parking. Keep it up!!!! Kingfish Grill the best seafood in St Augustine

I was impressed with the quality of the food.
I was impressed with the quality of the food. I ordered “The Shrimp Plater” with fries and coleslaw. (12) very good decent size shrimp. They were lightly breaded and cooked to perfection!. The side of fries were very well done and crispy. And the coleslaw hat, just the right amount of sauce. The place is a bit pricey $$$… although the food is very good. My server was excellent, she was very attentive and gave good suggestions as well as positive comments regarding the quality of the food served at this restaurant. I would definitely recommend others to come and eat at this place.

Bartender Ben was pleasant & very attentive. You would think the items in the Thai Peanut Salad wouldn’t work, but it did! Delicious!

Wow! Stopped Here for Dinner
Wow! Stopped here for dinner. Sat at the bar..great drinks and delicious food. We had perfectly fried calamari in a delicious sweet and lightly hot sauce, perfectly fresh oysters on the half shell and pork fried dumplings for appies. This was followed by two sushi rolls - Bubba Gump and Island Dragon. The two of us would have loved to keep eating but this filled us up. Great atmosphere, new design, clean…perfect. A special shout out to Geo, our bartender!

Amazing Job!
They recently moved into the old Black Molly location. They have done an amazing job with the remodeling. First time visiting here, with a large group. The service was spot on, and the food was very good. Looking forward to our visit next time.

Loved the cheesy grits!
Loved the cheesy grits. The blackened mahi mahi sandwich was great as was the crab cakes with the sweet relish. The error in judgement roll was a little too spicy. The key lime pie was a a perfect ending. The Bulleit old fashioned was a delight. Will return! Loved my birthday day on the waterfront!!!!
