We visited St. Augustine and grabbed lunch here, the wait was minimal at lunch time but once we left, it was beginning to fill up & there was a wait time. The food was overall good and the ambience was great! We sat upstairs and can see down to the bar which was nice and not too loud to have conversation.
We went there in November and it was super busy! We had to wait a while to get a table but you can wait at the bar, which is a good size. We were seated upstairs and our server checked on us frequently, even with a busy night. We ordered the deviled eggs, county line boiled peanuts, pan-seared salmon and the braised shortrib. Everything came out cooked well, it was fresh and flavorful. Definitely a good spot in St. Augustine.
St Augustine is my favorite city and I've passed this place way too many times wondering what the food is like. Finally tried it for the first time back in January. The Brussel sprouts are amazing and I'm a sucker for a good pretzel. I forgot which salad I had but the one my friend ordered and I got were so good. Glad I got it. Was not disappointed with the food or the service. Will for sure go again.
Got seated upstairs and the service was great and the view was awesome looking down into the bottom floor and plenty of TVs all around Thank you
Oh my god! This is the second time I have had this burger and the poutine fries! It is totally the best, and I am already craving it again. It is made to perfection, and the onion Jam is to die for on. I don't know what they put on those fries, but I could eat them for a year straight and never get sick of them! I had done some research, and her they had the best expresso martini and hands down...... I agree. 3 in! Seriously, I could not stop! I wish I could remember our waitresses' name, but she was at the bar, and it was a second time she had waited on me, and she was so sweet, attentive , fast, and engaging. It made the total experience wonderful! Can't wait to go back this weekend!!!
Prohibition Kitchen is a really cool restaurant in the heart of historic St. Augustine. I love the speak easy vibes; it feels like you're stepping into a different time period. The menu even looks like an old timey newspaper. We ordered the mushroom Swiss burger with the sirloin patty upgrade ($2) and their short rib grilled cheese. The burger patty had delicious flavor and was cooked to perfection. There wasn't a strong mushroom or Swiss cheese flavor, but it was a solid "regular" burger. I loved the short rib grilled cheese which was absolutely packed with meat. I really enjoyed adding their hot sauce for extra flavor. We also upgraded from fries to get a small side of beer cheese soup which had a pretty unique flavor.
We went here on a double date during the Night of Lights. We had to wait an hour and a half for a table due to it being busy. I'm not sure if they have reservations available. I didn't see any on their website. Anyways they have a live band playing when you first walk in that gives it a nice vibe. The menu is a newspaper with news on one side and the food items on the other. My husband ordered the chili to start and I must say...that was the best chili I have ever had. We should have got a bowl instead of a cup lol. 100000/10 I had the BBQ Whiskey Burger & Green Beans which was amazing. Basically it's a BBQ burger with fried onion rings. My fav 10/10 They also serve boozy milkshakes I want to try next time.
