Not celiac friendly

If you have celiacs do not eat here!! I had high expectations from the reviews but a horrible experience. I got glutened BAD, my guess was from the server who thought something was GF that wasn’t (salad dressing? The special dessert? ). The menu is clearly marked so I’m not sure what happened but this is the worst glutening I have had in years! Also, I ordered my kids burgers medium and they came with the inside being completely raw. We sent it back but nothing so much as a heartfelt apology and no offer to comp the items. The place is cute and we had high expectations but others be forewarned!

We went to the Floridian one night and I was very pleased. I had pork and waffles and I couldn’t believe that the waffles were gluten free. They were delicious. We had a big group and it was pretty clouded so next time I’m going to definitely make a reservation. Overall good food and just make sure to reserve a table.

We ate here twice while vacationing in St Augustine and couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The biscuits & belly, ‘n waffles, and shrimp & sausage dishes were to die for. Both waitresses we had were attentive and knowledgeable. I have a yeast allergy in addition to celiac and they were on top of it. Garden gimlet cocktail was great too!

We were informed the owner/ chef is Celiac. We had some very different and creative menu options. The Biscuits and belly was to die for. My non-GM has been absolutely loved it. We had the brisket tacos which were fantastic. They even had a gluten-free dessert to finish it off. We will go here every time we go to Saint Augustine! So many other things to try.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. The gluten free biscuit and belly was phenomenal. Best biscuit I’ve ever had. Then had the ‘N Waffles. OMG! Divine! Finished the night off with a slice of red velvet cake. Couldn’t have been better. I’d go back to St. Augustine just to come here again!

Went to St. Augustine over Spring break, and went here for lunch based on reviews. All of us ordered gf. Celiac son loved his beef burger on gf bun! Our food was good too, their soup of the day- roasted tomatoes and veg..was delicious and filling. Our server perfectly understood our request, and the food was brought to the table by another kind gentleman, who repeated that everything on the tray was completely gf. and yes..we had no tummy issues after so all good :)

I had the biscuit and pork belly. It was delicious. Literally one of the best gf meals I’ve had. They made my celiac kid a gf grilled cheese on UdI’s bread (even though it’s not on the menu) and served it with sliced apples. I also enjoyed the pecan bar for dessert. Don’t visit St. Augustine without stopping here for a meal or ordering something to go!

Must-eat in St. Augustine! my wife and I shared biscuits and pork belly as an appetizer. If I ordered 4 of those for our whole meal, it would be 5 stars. Amazing flavor. Then, I had steak frites and she had shredded pork waffles. Both fantastic. We split the pecan bar for dessert and went home happy as hell. Thank you!

Awesome service. My waitress was very knowledgeable about celiac and helped inform me what items had gluten in them! The menu clearly states gluten free options. I got the spicy melt minus the chipotle sauce bc it has wheat, the fish was amazing though!! the bread was soft but fell apart easily, but that's not unusual. I'd highly recommend this place, the prices aren't too bad either. :)

Fantastic experience at the Floridian. Lauren was an excellent waitress, very knowledgeable and helpful. Food was excellent. Four diners, two of which were gluten free both gf meals were great. Two non gf meals were enjoyed tremendously. Pulled pork and waffles was awesome. Wish I was staying longer in St. Augustine so I could come back. No stomach or intestinal trauma at all!!!

There were tons of GF options! I had a burger with no bun (they offer Udi's buns but I don't love those) and a side of potatoes. My boyfriend found a tiny fuz hair in his food but they didn't hesitate to take it off of our bill and offer us free GF desserts which were SO good! They had a caramel brownie and an oatmeal/chocolate/coconut bar. Overall a good experience and very flavorful food!

It was delicious - and so far so good for my daughter who is extremely sensitive. The only negative is that our server was very rude and impatient as we tried to ensure that the food would be safe for my daughter to eat.

Great restaurant! They have gluten free options clearly marked on the menu. Sandwiches have a GF bread option for $1 up charge. I had the first fish sandwich I have had in years. Server was very informed and let me know I couldn't have the mayo specified for my sandwich as it had gluten. But she provided me many other options as substitute. She also let me know the chips had been in a shared fryer so she would recommend the salad as my side. I never get this kind of service and understanding! Food was also amazing. definitely worth the trip

I had high hopes for this place from the reviews and since they claim to have gluten free options. First of all they messed up 3/4 orders for my table and when we told the waitress she didn't even seem to care at all, she even was rude to us just for saying our orders weren't right and to make it worse for one of the orders they screwed up instead of getting a new burger they clearly just scraped off the mayo as you could still see it (she asked specifically no mayo when she ordered.. she could have had an allergy that's just pure laziness!). I tried to let the messing up most our orders, rudeness and the fact that the heater next to us outside wasn't working (it was nighttime) but to make all this the worst possible experience I got SEVERELY glutened when I TOLD THE WAITRESS I HAVE A GLUTEN ALLERGY and this place advertises to have gluten free options right on their menu I guess that's just for the fad and they're lying or my waitress was just that terrible because within an hour of leaving I was throwing up and it's the next night and I'm still in severe pain to the point I almost need to go to the ER. This is the most sick I've ever been from eating at a restaurant that claims to be gluten free and I was diagnosed with celiac 5 years ago. It's a serious shame I paid $40 (for two awful burgers, OVERPRICED!) to be stuck in the bathroom miserable all weekend. I do not recommend this place at all I am highly disappointed.

This was a little gem on a side street away from the more tourist trap restaurants. As a gluten free (celiac) customer, I was thrilled to see many GF items on the menu. The food looks prepared from scratch. I got the pimiento appetizer and BBQ brisket tacos which were both delicious. I wish more restaurants would follow suit and realize if they prepare more of their own food, a lot of items are already gluten free. A little creativity can add a lot to the menu that can be GF, rather than ordering a salad without the croutons. It can add cost to the menu, but most GF diners are used to it and willing to pay for it.

Loved this place, many wonderful Gluten Free choices that were quite tasty. Stopped in for lunch & decided we'd go back for dinner. Definitely will make this a destination on my next trip to St Augustine.

I had the Shrimp N Grits. The shrimp was cooked but not seasoned with anything so it tasted very bland. On the side, were two grit cakes, not your typical grits. They were good, but again maybe there could have been a delicious sauce or something to tie the shrimp with the grit cakes together to add some flavor.

Great food in a 'safe' environment with many choices. We had the tacos (brisket) and shrimp 'n grits. The grits were very good, the tacos were great! We also had the arepas as a starter, excellent as well. I would highly recommend the Floridian.

They moved to 72 Spanish St. Had same issue finding the place as woman stated below. FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL!! We got fried chicken and garlic mashed, short ribs, winter vegetable medley, fried cheese for app, and haven't eaten the GF brownie yet! Everything is SO GOOD. Great service, server was really sweet. Also, the atmosphere is kindof cool. All around a great experience! I would say that 75% of their menu is gluten free. Owner and the head chef are gluten sensitive so they use a lot of gluten free products. :)

Food is Fantastic!! They were out of the tacos😞 so went for the spicy mahi melt. Also had pimiento cheese fritters and hummus dips. Everything was presented beautifully and the atmosphere is very cute. Did have a hard time finding it since they moved though; new address is 72 Spanish St. Just a short walk from old location.
