About O'Steen's

About Us

IT ALL STARTED 50+ YEARS AGO.

O’Steen’s Restaurant has been a staple in St. Augustine, FL for over 50 years. Mr.& Mrs. O’Steen opened our restaurant in 1965 with a commitment to always serve fresh seafood & daily specials accompanied by homestyle sides & fresh vegetables. We are a local favorite (who we refer to as family) as well as a tourist destination with many visitors returning year after year to get their hands on our renowned fried shrimp and other fine seafood and southern dishes. While some things have changed around St. Augustine over the years, we take great pride and strive to remain the same while serving the finest quality food in a family atmosphere. Our menu has remained relatively the same over the years and many of our employees have been with us for over 20 years.

If you are planning to make a visit to our beautiful town of St Augustine anytime soon, we hope you will add O’Steen’s to your list of "must visits". It will be our pleasure to serve you.

Reviews

Went here on the recommendation of our condo owner, and the reviews we read here. They were spot on, fantastic service, food, and desserts. What more could you ask for? I thought, well how could shrimp be better here, definitely the best shrimp ARE here. Will be back!

If you think you have a reservation and want to pay by credit card, you are in the wrong place. If you want great food from an independent restaurant and not a chain of restaurants, this is your place. Always get a great meal with a wait most of the time. Always glad we went and will return every time we are in St Augustine, FL. Good food, good service and busy all the time because people like it so much

Sandra

Fried shrimp and coconut cream pie! Great spot filled with mostly locals which is always a great sign. The server was fantastic. Definitely recommend it.

Charessa

They have the BEST shrimp around! The batter is very light & crispy all at the same time. Their side dishes are delicious as well. I haven't had one I didn't like yet.

Andrea

Best fried shrimp in America. Family owned business, and cash only. Very friendly staff and has kept the local feel. Be prepared to wait during peak times... Awesome antique store near by and pub to help pass the time. You don't want to miss out on this wonderful experience.
