Gaufres and Goods — Restaurant in Florida

We drove from Georgia yesterday to eat here specifically (we have been here before twice and loved the food and service). They said they were closing early due to lack of food at 7pm. The food we wanted was still in stock so I asked if we could get placed on the waitlist. She took my name, phone number, and said it would be about 30-40 min and would call me when it was ready. We started making our way to the restaurant when it got close so we would be prepared. My party of 4 walked in and the waitress (with pink hair was immediately rude) she said we are closed. I’m like well I called and made a reservation. She said we don’t make reservations. I’m like well I’m on a list for a table so whatever you want to call it. She said again we are closed you can’t eat here and got an attitude. We drove 2 hours to come to this restaurant so I wasn’t happy. She was like you can speak the owner then came back and was like the owner isn’t there okay well where did they go? She’s like oh here’s the list what’s your name? And she’s like well there’s 4 people ahead of you so we won’t be able to get to you anyways. So it went from a 30-40 min wait to you can’t serve me at all. And you never even had the decency to call and let me know that so we can find a different restaurant. Had we not showed up I would have been waiting for a phone call which never would have happened. Her attitude, the lack of apologies, and the inconsistency will ensure that we never return to this restaurant ever again. We tell everyone to stop at this rest when they go to St. Aug and I will not recommend somewhere with such bad...

This place is a hidden GEM! Upon arriving you will be greeted by either the lovely owner with southern Polish roots or one of the lovely servers. They were all humble and worked very hard to tend to customers. We ordered some meat pierogis and cheese ones (I recommend getting them sautéed) as an appetizer. I went for a vegetarian (not vegan) option and had Grace’s Favorite with the Feta Pie for my entree and it was DELICIOUS! The pie was served with a balsamic vinaigrette drizzled on the side. The pastry/ crust was flaky and crisp and delicious. I mentioned afterwards to the staff how tasty everything I had was, especially the borsch (beet and mushroom dumpling soup) and the server offered me to try a chilled beet soup as well which was just as delicious! It had radishes and beets in a beet reduction with dill and buttermilk. No single flavor overpowered another. The entree overall was nice and light but also filling. My party also ordered a couple gyros (the meat was hearty and seasonsed so nicely) which I was fortunate enough to try as well. Another person had the Yemista and cleared his plate! Their bread is fluffy and tasty too. If you are a coffee person, try the Greek Coffee!! It’s strong. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. The seating areas both inside and outside look like it was plopped out of a small European village. It’s cozy and the food is most definitely made with love. You cannot pass this place up without getting some of...

I absolutely love this little gem of a restaurant that we found in downtown St Augustine. There is definitely a shortage of Greek restaurants but even rarer than that is a Polish restaurant. I was a little skeptical at first but when I first came into this little restaurant it felt just like being in my grandma's house with the old world Decor as well as those familiar smells from the kitchen. We ordered the Greek sampler plate which we thought was going to just be some cut-up pita and hummus but we were surprised at the amount of care that went into the preparation and visuals of this plate. Everything was fresh homemade and prepared to not only appeal to the appetite but also to the eyes. I then ordered the Polish kielbasa meal and this was the absolute highlight of my evening.. this was hands down the absolute best sauerkraut I have ever had in my entire life. It was spiced to Perfection and it was not overly salty or vinegary. It had spices and toasted pieces of kielbasa mixed in with it. It also came with pierogies that were absolutely delicious and paired wonderfully with the sour cream on the side. I was thoroughly impressed with the service atmosphere and quality of the food and I love this place so much that I will definitely come back and probably even get takeout from here. Highly...
