Reviews for The Blue Hen Café in St. Augustine, FL
Food and service was amazing. Come early because this place fills up fast. The chicken and biscuits were absolutely fantastic.... The house potatoes were big and full of flavor and the burrito was completely packed with greatness. We?ll definitely be makingour way back next time in town. Read more
Cool little place in the heart of historic Lincolnville. Service was great, food was above average. It's designer breakfast,... so if you just want plain bacon and eggs it's probably not your place. Read more

Very cute breakfast and lunch spot in a residential neighborhood. They have a small parking lot, but it was full so we drove... around for a few minutes until we found nearby street parking. We didn't have to wait for a table, but most were full and therewas a line outside when we left. I love a good corned beef hash and theirs is homemade, but it didn't quite do it for me. Thebeef was cut into a tasty cubes mixed with onion and peppers and was a bit on the salty side, or the hash brown potatoes thatwere underneath were on the salty side. My personal preference for this dish is a finely chopped mixture of all the elementstogether where their flavors blend. This was more like a corned beef "salad" where everything was isolated and combined with theother ingredients. Overall it wasn't terrible, but not what I care for. Points off for not serving poached eggs, but thescrambled I opted for instead were nice and fluffy. My daughter has the blue crab quiche and enjoyed it, though she felt itcould use more cheese. Full disclosure, we are a family of cheese nuts and my wife makes an awesome quiche that has a lot morecheese than you will ever likely see in a restaurant! Coffee was tasty. Biscuits with (I think) peach butter were very good.Service was awesome--friendly and she kept the coffee cups full. Final verdict for my first visit is a solid 4 stars. I lovethe variety on the menu even if I wasn't a huge fan of what I selected. I would definitely come back to try something else. Thelunch salads also sound very interesting! Read more
Great little breakfast spot tucked into the heart of the historic Lincolnville neighborhood. Make sure you are prepared to wait... but the food is worth it. They are known for their biscuits and corned beef hash, which was absolutely delicious. The biscuitswere good, a little crunchy for our taste, but good flavor. I?m a big fan of the peach butter they give you for the biscuits,it?s unique and delicious. It?s a little loud inside as it?s a small space with wood floors and gets very busy. The mimosa wasvery lacking, quite watery. The inside was very clean and the bathrooms were nice as well. Worth the wait! Read more
We loved the food here! We ordered the chicken and biscuits and apple and feta salad and shared it. They were both delicious! I... don't usually go crazy over a salad but this was so savory and sweet with a blend of textures. Literally perfect! The chickenand biscuits came with a maple butter that was the perfect compliment to the umami of the biscuits. Also, biscuit texture is ahard thing to nail and these were divine. I almost ordered a biscuit to go! The staff were lovely and attentive and the spaceitself was homey but chic. We sat at the counter and were chatting with the other diners near us who had similarly fantasticculinary experiences. I would recommend going here if you're visiting St. Augustine. In fact, we might even go again while we'rehere! (Bonus points because parking was a breeze and FREE--- they have a parking lot but there's also street parking) Read more
St Augustine is a beautiful place to visit and this breakfast place is a must go when you are around. It is in a quite... neighborhood and you can park your car on the street. It's a small place and it was kind of bustling when we were there. I guessthis place is really popular with the locals. There were a lot of older people enjoying their breakfast and coffee. We ordered achicken biscuit sandwich and breakfast eggs, along with coffee and egg sandwich. It didn't take long. The staff seemed to beworking really hard. The chicken biscuit was good, probably a little salty for my tastebuds. I liked the seasoning in thechicken. It was crunchy and well done. The biscuits were soft and moist. I liked the butter that came along with it, too. Theyhave some really good hot sauce, so don't forget to ask for them. The egg sandwich was good too. We enjoyed our breakfast hereand would definitely go again. Read more
