Terrible.

by rangerjen

After looking forward to some comfort food of Bangers and Mash, I eagerly entered the Kings Head Pub in St. Augustine. My potatoes were instant potato flakes and my imported sausages were previously frozen! This restaurant has signs out front, and a disclaimer on the bottom of the menu to inform everyone that they use "fresh" ingredients and that everything is "home made". Everything they have is frozen. It might have been fresh at one time, but for a decent meal I should have just gone fast food....it would have been the same quality for much less $$$$$$$.

• Pros: They did have Woodchuck on tap
• Cons: Frozen, and nasty

One of the worst I've been to!!

by CollinE

My wife and I went there with a dining certificate for 25.00 off which we paid 10.00 for. I ordered a burger and fries and had 2 beers and my wife ordered the mystery deep fried fish and fries and had 2 glasses of house wine, We finished the meal by sharing a piece of cake to "die for". The service was terrible, I was asked how I wanted the burger cooked, I wanted medium, it came very well done which might have explained why it took so long. The cake was dried out. The fish was small. Surprise, the check came...total price was 90.28, with the mandatory 18% gratuity, after the 25 off and adding the 10 for the certificate this terrible overpriced meal cost 75.28. I don't like being forced to tip a certian percentage, If I have great service I tip up to 30 % and I've never tipped below 10% no matter how bad the service was. Their's no incentive for a server to be their best if they know they don't have to.

• Cons: Food, service, prices

Fantastic

by Smathers

I came last night with my family; We had a large party of 9. The Resturant had a fantastic atmosphere and the wait staff was warm and friendly.

I was hesitant to the loyal British menue with England being known to have very bland food, but i was blown away!

Everyone in our party got something different so we could all divide plates and sample it all. Everything was delicious! (my personal favorite was the steak and kidney...how unique!) The portions were perfect.

We had desert and that was also wonderful. The Blackberry pie and ginger cake with custard was to DIE for.

The bread and butter pudding was, I hate to say in, bland but everything else was great.

The owner is adorable! Fun, Hip, and Welcoming. She has awesome pink highlights in her blonde hair and wants everyone to just have a great time.

I would go back again in a heartbeat.

Also, the decor inside and out are great photo-ops.

Enjoy!

• Pros: the atmosphere, the decor, the staff & food
• Cons: some dishes are bland against the american palet
