St. Augustine — So This Is What Real American Food Tastes Like!

🍔 If there was a gold standard for burgers, this would be it! Their half-pound burger cooked to medium perfection is an absolute masterpiece — perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. I’d drive all the way back to St. Augustine just for this. My burger of the year, no doubt! 🏆 🍔 The BBQ Rib Sandwich was a delicious surprise — tender and crispy pork rib coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce that really suits the Chinese palate. 🥑 The Avocado Toast was fresh and simple — no overpowering dressings, just high-quality ingredients with sun-dried tomatoes that packed a flavor punch. 🍽️ Crab Croquettes were stuffed with real crab — delicious, but rich. One was amazing; two might be too much. 🥤 Their house-made cola had a unique touch of cinnamon — definitely worth a try! 🥂 Also loved their cocktails — the cucumber with a hint of mustard was super refreshing (though you can’t really taste the mustard). Highly recommend! This place is called Ice Plant Bar 🏭🍸 — industrial vibes, full bar, and absolutely worth the visit. St. Augustine itself is a gem! Downstairs is connected to St. Augustine Distillery 🥃, where you can enjoy free tastings of spirits and shop for candles, cocktail kits, and more. I grabbed two boozy caramel popcorn flavors — honestly some of the best sweet popcorn I’ve had in the U.S.! The bourbon one gets a bit sweet with chocolate sauce, but if you love sugary snacks, it’s a must-try. A bit pricey at $20 a bag, but worth it. #AuthenticAmericanFood #StAugustineEats #BestBurger #FoodTravel #FloridaFood #USATravel #BarRecommendations #TravelTips
