Great onion rings, good company and great beer - Try the Woodchuck Apple Cider -

Hubby & I came here our 1st night in St Augustine based on good things said in the forum. It's itty bitty, but loaded with character. I wouldn't call it a comfortable place, hard wooden seats aren't my favorite. It's not a place I'd linger all night sipping drinks, but it's good for a quick bite. My fish & chips were great, the fish really fresh. Hubby was disappointed with his pastie, which he called "very Ren(naissance) Fair." So I gave him a big portion of my fish to supplement his meal. As I used to live in England, I'm always looking for authentic pub-like places in the U.S. This doesn't rate high on my authentic meter simply because the atmosphere isnt conducive to hanging out with friends & knocking back pints all night. This is due to its tiny size & uncomfortable seating.
Would go again, but wouldn't necessarily go out of our way for it.

Just returned from a 2 day stay in St. Augustine. We ate at The Prince of Wales 3 times...what does that tell you? It is THE BEST place in St. Augustine. Try the Beer Battered Burger...it's awesome... So is the Pub Salad, the Cottage Pie and the burger with bleu cheese. We didn't try the fish and chips, but we saw others order it and it is the biggest piece of fish I've ever seen! What a great value. The beer is ice cold too! Great music, great staff and wonderful chef!

I must admit that at first I didn't want to eat here as the saying goes "when in Rome...." However, my 14 year old daughter insisted and I'm so glad that she did. The beer-battered onion rings were heavenly and plentiful. The service here was wonderful and cannot be faulted. We personally did not see Tony the expat with his unusual haircut[?] I don't think that the food needs gimmicks. It was fairly priced and delicious. Didn't have the puddings[Birds Custard-yuk] will be going back there next year without doubt. Lovely.
