Lori Owen Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Cozy atmosphere and the food from the scratch kitchen is delicious. My two chicken sliders were elevated with pickled red onions and a delicious sauce. My husband got a steak sandwich but again, his sandwich was super foodie with real chunks of delicious steak, tiny pearl onions and creamy cheese. The French fries are perfectly salty and crispy. They have a great selection of craft beers which we tried and some wonderful looking specialty cocktails. Our server Maria was awesome. Sorry I didn’t take pictures when we first got our food. We thought their prices were very reasonable and a great value considering their food is so good.

Wayne Schultz The restaurant was clean and had lots of stuff to look at on the walls. The restaurant was clean, the servers were busy cleaning and taking care of the guests. Food was delicious, the Banging shrimp was served hot and lightly battered and crispy, the banging sauce was flavorful with a lil heat. The pulled pork sandwich was very good as well, great BBQ sauce, collard greens were delicious, French fries crispy and hot. Definitely worth a return visit.

Josie Hernandez Food and history of this place was amazing. Definitely will be coming back.

Denise Temple The food was absolutely delicious! It was the best pancake that I ever had...I ordered mine crispy and it did not disappoint. The bacon knew its assignment, crisp and satisfying. And the eggs was egging, yum yum. Our Server was Kimberly. She was excellent with her service to us.. And those strawberries was so good along with the whip cream.

Rob Campbell Great place for a fine family meal! We enjoyed the ability to choose between breakfast lunch and dinner items to order. Usually no wait but peak times can be challenging. If you have a minute to peruse the store you’ll find many tchotchkes and dustables to add to your collections. The candy assortment is vast and is the temptation of every child passerby since it is conveniently placed at their eye level.

Dae Hee Ahn The service and atmosphere were nice! We enjoyed our dinners and the portions were large enough that I had to take some items home. The ribs, shrimp and steak were great.

Lexington Flamingo Angel, our server was amazing! Very sweet and attentive. She was genuine and full of energy. She made our first experience here that much better. The Mahi Mahi is very good! Definitely get the jerk Mahi Mahi blackened (it doesn’t come blackened), it was delicious! The bahamarita drink was very good and reasonably priced at less than $10. We will definitely be back!

Valerie Rios Your heartfelt Veterans Day celebration is so generous and deeply appreciated. The meal vouchers, friendly staff, and genuine recognition for service make such a difference — but our favorite part, by far, is the thoughtful letter created by area school kids sharing their words of gratitude. What a meaningful touch! Thank you, Texas Roadhouse, for your amazing service, delicious food, and ongoing charity work in the community. Your kindness and patriotism shine through every year.

James F My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and had a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding. The steak was perfectly cooked with seasoning that stood out as some of the best we’ve had. The lobster and seafood platter were fresh and flavorful, and the sweet potato fries were easily the best we’ve ever tasted. The service was excellent from start to finish. Staff were attentive without being intrusive, and they even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to mark our anniversary. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. We had a window seat overlooking the water, which made the evening feel even more special. Pricing was very fair for the quality of food and service we received. We would definitely recommend St. Johns River Steak & Seafood, especially for special occasions or anyone looking for a memorable meal by the water.

Karla Buljovcic Great place! Many tvs. Love the zinger salad and the fish and chips! Great margaritas as well! Fries are super yum! Tartar sauce was so good with the light and crispy fresh fish! The batter they use is awesome! ALICIA was our waitress and she was so awesome and attentive super sweet and nice and so very helpful. We will definitely be back at this location and ask for her. Went back again and great food and service as always! Loved the loaded fries with the zingers on top!!!! The prime rib was very large portion and fresh and juicy and tender. Highly recommend it. The Cobb salad was HUGE and very filling and delicious We shared food and still brought some home! Their grilled shrimp is very tasty.

Nelida Safrit We met up with friend for dinner at this location. The host had us wait for the rest of the party to be seated. A different host came and got us and sat us before my friends arrived. The place was not full. Our server Tara was great. We took our time to order since we were catching up. She was very patient with us. We finally ordered and she was very helpful and recommended a few dishes. My margarita was delicious. My steak and shrimp were delicious too. I can’t complain. We stayed talking for a while after paying our bill and nobody bothered us. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

WMB 4Him The restaurant offered free Veterans meals! Everything was great, from the staff, our server and the food. It is nice that they switched the bottom left sides that you can swap them out. Its been a long time since I had been there and was glad we chose this restaurant for Veterans Day.
