I came to St. Augustine, today, for the first time and couldn’t help but want to try a place called The Florida Cracker Cafe. The name, itself, caught my attention. Unfortunately, neither the service nor food were very good, especially when you consider the price.

I ordered a plain hamburger as I’m not a big fan of gator (which they have plenty of) and not big on seafood. The waitress asked all the right questions but unfortunately, I was served a hamburger that would make a hockey puck proud. The burned patty tasted like it was frozen prior to cooking as did the French fries. I’ll confess that the kettle chips were very good, however.

The cafe was not very busy for a national holiday but seemed very disorganized. It took a really long time to get seated and we finally settled for sitting at the bar. After finally getting an order in, it took forever to get the food as well. Two of the three cooks in the kitchen were not wearing any type of device to prevent hair from getting in the food (ha I worked in the restaurant business before, this is a bit unsettling). This restaurant...

The atmosphere was nice outside offering live music on the patio. The service was fast and friendly but some things could have been better. The food was where the problem came in for us. We decided to just order apps as we looked over the menu. We ended up with a large portion of peel and eat shrimp. They were fresh and large but lacked seasoning of any sort. The cocktail sauce didn't really help, also lacking flavor. The worse choice of the day was the fried gator tail. Mostly spicy over seasoned breading with little actual taste of gator meat coming through. Thinking cheap distributor based quick fry option. At the end of it, we ordered 2 apps, 1 beer and 1 sweet tea (which was delivered unsweet) the total was just under 50 bucks. We left and went somewhere else to actually get a good meal.

If you are looking for real good quality meal rather than quick serve style, I would say skip it.

Sorry to be harsh, but it is my honest opinion. The quality of food wasn't good but they didn't do anything to wrong. Staff and service good. Again, bad...
