I have been coming here since the mid90s. Â It is always a first and last stop on my trip. Â In college, it was the place to go every Thursday night in St Augustine. Â Amazing bar food. Â The burgers are always juicy, the shrimp is never overcooked, and drinks are strong. Â The rum runners are FANTASTIC!!! Â They will make them with 151 but be careful because you will be drunk after 2 (and if you are a lightweight, not even 1) and they are not even $7. Â It is a dive bar and it serves bar food but its obvious from the outside. Â They never rush you. Â Definitely underrated. Â I've never had anything bad here. Â BEST bar food!!!
Review Source:Great, fresh food! There was straight to the point service & they were very accommodating with my food allergies (except the bbq sauce they served me had black pepper & I got a reaction after eating it.) Aside from that, the grilled chicken I had was the freshest chicken I have EVER tasted...very very good. The one thing I wish I did was sit outside..the entertainment was cool. Inside is super dark & closed in.
Review Source:This was a terrible place to go. For one, they charged a $2 cover fee, for a band that wasn't playing. Me and my boyfriend went upstairs to get a table to eat. The waitress took our drink order, then came back a few minutes later with my beer and a water because forgot what he ordered. We reminded her and she went back to get it. She later took our dinner order, again not writing anything down. I got fried shrimp and he ordered crab cakes. She comes back a few minutes later to see if pickles and onions were ok for him, which made me suspicious since he got a platter, but I didn't say anything to her because she left too quickly. When the food came out there was a BBQ sandwich and shrimp scampi. Another person brought our food out and thought the wrong table number was there. But the waitress cane and said that was ours, and I had to correct her that we neither ordered Bbq sand. Nor shrimp scampi. She looked confused DVD walked away, never once apologizing. Worst service I've ever received. I understand it's a bar, but that was just pathetic. Don't waste your time or money going here!!
Review Source:Meh...that's about all I can say. My family and I went for lunch on a Monday and the food was just OK.
In retrospect, I might have sat outside if it hadn't been so hot and at midday; that looked like a happening place. Inside it seemed like a pretty cool place, but it didn't really measure up for me.
The high point was definitely our server, Collin, who was attentive and gave us information about the city. I know it's "bar food" so I wasn't expecting fine dining, but my fish and chips was lukewarm at best. They didn't have the drink I ordered, either.
I wouldn't say I'd run back here, but I can't say I'd refuse, either.
Had a good time out for some drinks late night. Â Was kind of surprised at the $2 cover. Â Not 100% sure what that was about. Â They did have live music inside, so I never mind paying a cover for that, but we sat outside and couldn't hear the band anyway. Â I didn't eat there, because the kitchen happened to be closed by the time we were ready to order. Â We had a good cocktail waitress and a good time though.
Review Source:I feel like Scarlett O'Hara's has been under-rated by my fellow Yelpers. Â Not because what they say isn't true but because these are the things that give this place its charm. Â Scarlett's is a bar, and they serve bar food. Â They are not trying to be fancy or ostentatious. Â It is a place for regular folks to go hang out, have a drink and get some bar food. Â It's one of the more affordable places around the St. George street area and I have always been happy with the food I have ordered there. Â It's a little grungy and the service is sometimes a bit slow but these are the things you should expect for a place like Scarlett's. Â
If I were going to complain about something I suppose it would be the cigarette smoke. Â I'm spoiled living in a place were smoking isn't allowed even on the patios.
My family & I stopped into Scarlett O'Hara's for lunch one afternoon & although we enjoyed sitting outside we were hoping for more than 'bar food'. Â
Speaking of bars, there is a bar inside & outside of the establishment. OHaras offer a large menu with many options however overall, most items are fried or typical tourist dive restaurant type options. The price point is a little high for the quality of food in my opinion. I know that this location & Rhett's (next door) is a tourist hot spot but I think there are probably better local options with better quality food. If you are looking for a great place to grab drinks and maybe an appetizer then this is a spot to consider. Â Beyond that, this is not a place for a dining experience. Â Service was poor, at best. Overall, we had an OK lunch but I would try other places before ever returning.
Great location, food was OK at best.
I was so torn on this place. I was not sure whether to give one star or two. We saw this place as we toured the city on the tram. It looked like a great pub that we would like to visit. They had a sign outside that listed their specials of 50 cent wings, oysters or shrimp which was the reason that we decided that this would be the place for our dinner. You just cannot beat the price.
The place was packed and we found a nice pub table to sit at. We ordered our drinks and were served our drinks quickly.
My husband ordered 6 oysters, which came in various level of being steamed (they do not server raw). He ordered the lightest steamed oysters. The waitress mentioned that they just got a new shipment in today.To our surprise they came in a bucket and platter unopened. He needed to shuck them open to eat them. He ate 5, but when he got to the 6th one, it was bad. He told the waitress, who tried everything to make it right for us.
I order the medium hot wings, which we good, but not the best I have ever had.
So I would have to say that this was not a memorable place for us. Â Too bad...we wanted this to be a wonderful find...oh well.
It's our second day in St. Augustine and we're driving around the town trying to find a place to eat because we're STARVING. We remembered the waitress at so and so reccommended this restaurant to us so when we came upon this place we decided Scarlett's it is. First off, I love the fact that this was a house built in the 1800's. The look inside this restaurant is very warm and inviting.
What I found a bit creepy though, is that upstairs which is called the "Ghost Bar" is where the owner of the house drowned in his bathtub. SCARY! The waitress said sometimes customers can feel his presence. GLAD I didn't because I am the scaredy cat of ALL scaredy cats! Luckily, we sat downstairs. Our waitress was heedful and kind, but I have to admit the food was pretty mediocre. Though the onion rings were tastey (they add hot sauce to them), the BBQ pork sandwich and mashed potatoes were a bit tasteless to me. Nevertheless, this is an excellent bar to hang out and have a few drinks!
I have been coming to Scarlett O'Hara's for years. Â It has pretty good burgers and beer. Â But I wouldn't suggest going crazy with the menu. It's just bar food. Â The restaurant has a pretty dark interior that is cavernous! Â It would be great for groups but it does have a smell of stale beer. For this reason I only sit outside at the bar or at the tables on the porch, where there is usually live music and good people watching. It's always fun out there and, if nothing else, you can watch one of the many televisions.
Review Source:Went here for lunch on a Saturday. The place was packed, so we had to scrounge for a table. (it's "seat yourself") The setting in this establishment is mostly a bar-like atmosphere with paintings of Gone with the Wind characters and scenes on the walls.
I have to start off with the bad news. The service at this place was terrible. The table we ended up getting was one that had half eaten food on it, and one that we had to hover over to ensure we could sit there. It took several minutes for someone to clear it.
On to the food. We all ordered simple sandwiches, and we spent just under an hour until our food arrived. I know the place was crowded, but that's a little ridiculous.
As far as the food quality, it was actually pretty good, but it should've been for the length of time we sat there.
If this place could figure out their service, especially on a Saturday around midday, then they'd definitely be a lot better off.
What a fun bar! While on vacation I managed to visit this spot twice! I was so impressed with the first visit so I had to go back and bring my friends!
Who doesn't love GWTW? Even if you're not a fan you will appreciate the beer! They have pictures from the film throughout the establishment and they even offer a Scarlett Red Beer! Of course, that is what I had to try. It sure was delicious. Both visits it was easy to get a drink and the bartenders were nice. They do have a $2 cover; at least they did both nights I went, but that's not much of a cover at all. No biggie.
They have outside seating (some rocking chairs), an outside bar, and an upstairs area as well as the indoor seating and bar. Most nights they offer a live band and both nights I enjoyed the music. It does get crowded so you will need to be sure you move through crowds well. I'm pretty good at that.
If you are in the area it is worth stopping by for at least a drink, and maybe you can snap a picture with Scarlett while you're there?!?! I recommend it.
After walking past this place for I don't know how many years, we finally decided to give it a try. It does have a charming feel about it and it is always crowded. Of course I usually go the St. Augustine on a weekend, but this was an exception. We went on a Wednesday eve. It wasn't crowded when we got there, but was filling up when we left.
We each ordered a side salad and fish and chips. The fish and chips were hardly authentic. They were more like fish fingers and the chips were skinny, little fries. I didn't get a lot of fish taste when I bit into the tiny fingers. They weren't awful, but I was expecting higher quality than Mrs. Paul. The tartar sauce was also kind of bland, which didn't help.
Give it a try. You may have better luck with the other menu choices/
The place has a great look to it and of course if your in St Augustine you should try to have at least one drink there. Shoot for happy hour because this place gets way over capacity....at least it looks like it. Â
They have an outside deck, it's small but in the summer it's awesome to sit at and people watch. Â Otherwise, this place doesn't have anything different to offer from any other dive bar...ok food, ok service, ok drinks. Â
Rhett's Piano bar recently opened up next door...nice, classy joint.
Down for a few days for a business trip, another Rhode islander had told me to find this place, and I'm glad I did!
Steamed oysters, spicy chicken wings,shrimp and even fried alligator were tried by 3 of us,and we couldn't believe how much we got for so little coin.My only complaint was that the beer wasn't very cold, but the selection made up for it.
I think our bill came to 80.00 before tip and we ate a LOT of the items listed above as they were offered at 50 Â cents each (not the gator). Fun atmosphere...dive-ish in a cool way, with a nice outside deck . Any time I'm in St. Augustine down the road? I'll be stopping back here !
Very fun little bar for a good kickback.
Here's a great place to grab a drink after a long day of walking the historic district. My fiance and I grabbed a few drinks here befor our dinner at Retts next door.
We were fairly impressed. They have a very fun and casual environment, full of all kinds of crowds including drunks, hippies, families, wedding parties (weird) and people that just happen to be walking by. The drink selection is good, but my lady did complain that her drink was too strong (good looking out guys).
I never did try the food so I'll let you know on that next time.
I'll be back.
They get points for being a unique little place with an old school feel. Â I definitely like the location and the decor. Â Unfortunately, the food really didn't match the rest of the experience. Â The French Dip is a simple meal to begin with, and it doesn't take much to make a great one. Â This was one of the most forgettable ones I've had. Not very meaty and not very flavorful.
I could see myself coming back here for a few drinks, but I won't be returning for the food.
Ugh. Since my last review, I've gone back to Scarlett's twice. Absolutely HATED every second of it. If you get a chance to go during the daytime- the place isn't half bad. It's not a bad place to sit at the bar on the back porch, enjoy a meal and a cold beer, and watch the tourists walk by. Food isn't amazing, but it's not half bad, and the service is usually decent...
But by night, the douchebags come out, guns blazing... This place SUCKS. Absolutely PACKED- you will not be able to go in or out, and if you do somehow get a table or a chance to get inside, you will not move. Period. Will take you HOURS to get a drink. Will take you HOURS to go to the restroom. Bouncers are dicks to the highest degree. This place drives me insane with rage, and I will NEVER go back. There are DOZENS of great bars in the area- choose ANY of them over this place.
Went here after doing a web search for restaurants in St. Augustine and this place came well recommended. We were greeted upon walking in the front door and were seated immediately. We sat upstairs in a little bar area that was pretty cool.
We ordered a bar b que plate to share since it looked like a ton of food and we were not wrong. Huge portion of ribs, pulled pork shoulder and fries. Good food with a nice smoky sauce that we both enjoyed.
Our waitress was really cool, my wife and I are a bit picky and when it comes to a few things and my wife asked if she could taste the BBQ sauce before we ordered the ribs and without batting an eye or making us feel like we were hassling her she got us a portion cup and made sure we were happy. Also, a big deal for me is that my soda is filled a lot and it was. It was about 3pm on a Sunday so to say they weren't crazy busy is accurate but still a good number of people even between the lunch and dinner rushes but everyone was being helped.
The meal was filling, the price was decent and the food was good and the service very good. We enjoyed it and will go back again sometime.
Scarlett is sort of the tourist bar/restaurant of St. Augustine. Fairly decent drinks, better than average bar food with fairly decent service and attractive surroundings. It's one of those places on the tourist destination map that generally turns out to be a must stop. Is it gimmicky? Yes, but that is what most likely adds to its popularity. It's not a chain, but I found the atmosphere to be rather chain like, anything but leisurely and laid back.
Review Source:Stopped in because a lot of places around St Augustine were closed. Almost got mowed down twice by a guy working there with a beard who didn't even acknowledge our presence but just gave us a nasty look and blew past us. Burger was pretty good, fries were pretty bad, I'd skip this place if you're in town.
Review Source:I stopped here on a friends recommendation.
While the location is tucked away, it does have adequate parking around the corner.....FYI, parking is $6.00.
When we entered the restaurant, several tables were dirty where people had just left, (or at least I hope they did) so it took a few minutes for a staff member to clean a table where we could have a good view of the whole restaurant. There is no hostess, so you will need to sit yourself. Â I would probably classify this as a dive location, with a flare of southern "bitchiness". Â It reminded me of a bar / food eatery when I was in college. Â There may very well be a reason I had this flashback, as a college is just around the corner.
For starters, the outside patio was crowded and the folks appeared to be very happy with the drinks and the food. Â We sat inside so that we could take in the whole dining experience and decor.
My wife had the chicken tender platter, with fries and cole slaw.  The slaw  had more of an onion taste than we were used to but it was good. I had the hearty french dip with fries and cole slaw.  The french dip was very nice, lots of provolone cheese, bread was hot and fresh, and the au-jus was enough to complete the whole sandwich.
I was surprised at how fast we were able to eat this meal, as it was just too good to put down. I would come back here again, but do not expect this place to satisfy your fine dining or eclectic taste.
This is a dive bar/restaurant, which serves good food at a fairly reasonable price.
It's worth visiting once, and the t'-shirts are great novelty items.

For the outside deck/porch bar only...
During our most recent visit to St. Aug we wandered into the porch bar in the afternoon a couple of times and had a great time... Â
Friendly people, good bartender (Josh) cold drinks and a fun atmosphere.I had a couple good/strong strawberry dacs and on the 2nd visit my hubby just had to go with a bucket of fresh oysters.. yes, in a bucket with a 2nd bucket for shells...
Can't speak to the nightlife or the dinners.. but as a nice stop during the day to have a few.. loved it !
Went out with some USA students for the Auggy experience and ended up at O'hara's. Interesting inside and out, there is always something to look at. After dark on the weekends, they have a DJ. Needless to say, we were having ourselves a good 'ol time :)
Good with a group or just a couple of friends.
What a great dive bar. Â The dark wood and fireplace adds to the ambiance of being in such an old historic building. Â It is a fine place for wings, oysters, and drinks. Â This is a perfect place to hang out as a couple or with friends for some light food and drinks to wrap up the night. Â It is just a short walk from here over to our favorite Bed & Breakfast, so even on rainy nights it is a only a short walk. Â Love trying to break the oyster bucket count from the previous visit each time we go back.
Review Source:My boyfriend and I were wandering around St. Augustine and were trying to pick a place to eat. We wanted something good, but not hugely pricey. After passing up a few restaurants because of their prices, we happened upon Scarlett's and decided that we were hungry and it looked good enough... with the number of people there it had to be good, right?
wrong. My bf got the steak and grilled shrimp, which left him hungry and feeling ripped off. I got the ribs, which I just personally hated. I'm very sensitive to spicey foods and the amount of pepper on them burned my mouth so badly I could barely eat 3 ribs even when I tried to drown them with bbq sauce. The bf didn't have an issue with my ribs though, so it's just a personal preference.
In the end, we both left feeling like we could have gotten a much better meal for much less money somewhere else... and we're still wondering why there were so many people.
No, I would never go back there.
We came as tourists to this neat town and this establishment popped up in internet research. The name and description implied some sort of entertaining reminiscence of "Gone with the wind", so we went for lunch.
The good: Our waitress was very friendly and the food was not bad. We had a mix of salads, sandwiches and finger foods, nothing super classy. For that it was pretty fresh looking and tasty. We sat outside, which gave us some fresh air and we watched the tourists go by.
The bad: the place reminded me of a dive. There were anxious looking tourists and a couple of locals that looked like they just got off a pirate boat.
Two stars for: I had better, and there are better establishments.
- If you like dives and still want to eat good food, this may be your place.
- If you want to see interesting characters, this is your place.
- If you expect something classy like in "Gone with the Wind, this ain't it, run as fast as you can.
NO NAY NEVER.
As my experience with Scarlett's has grown, so has my disdain. Â The thing about Scarlett's is, you can go there any given night, and have an okay time. Â But you will always know you could be having a way better time at any number of other nearby establishments.
Scarlett's has become a go-to for the lazy. Â Hordes of people have it at the top of their local night-out list solely due to convenience, and that's a damn shame. Â For the price of cover and a drink at Scarlett's, you could be on drink three or four at several other bars in the area, AND not getting harassed by some leathery boatcougar who can only express herself in slurred obscenities and the sound "HAW HAW HAW".
Is Scarlett's a redneck bar? Â No! Â That would be tradewinds. Â Is Scarlett's a hipster bar? No! Â That would be the Tavern. Â Is Scarlett's a bar for a mixed crowd of cool people? No! Â That would be No-Name. Â So what IS Scarlett's? Â It's the sort of place where they close the kitchen at 11:00, and then if you try to eat outside food on the porch, even though you're drinking their alcohol, some dork bouncer with a douchebag bleach-tipped fauxhawk will power-trip on your ass and tell you to eat on the sidewalk.
Scarlett's is a dive of the worst possible kind: a dive with an ego. Â This place sucks. Â Avoid.
Sure, Scarlett's is dirty. Sure, it's slightly on the sketchy side. Sure, it looks like you might have the immediate urge to wash yourself just by walking by, but no one can argue the fact that Scarlett's is a darn good place to hang out.
Scarlett's is basically the epitome of down home local night life in St. Augustine. Walking through the door, you're as likely to see a few tourists as you are to see your 7th grade English teacher, and fourteen kids you went to high school with. During the semester, Scarlett's is also a regular hang out for Flagler College students. The drinks tend to be a little more on the expensive side, but what they make you over-pay in drink prices, they make up for in people-watching.
Scarlett's features a karaoke night, trivia night, happy hour daily, and live music on the weekends. The bands featured are usually great, but, like any local music scene, can sometimes miss the mark. Contrary to popular belief, you can eat the food there. The weekly wing specials are a favorite with the Flagler crowd.
Don't feel like paying cover on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays? That's fine. Head down the street to the No Name Bar on the bay front. Sure, the drinks are cheaper over there, but it's a whole lot less grimy than Scarlett's, and who wants that? Part of Scarlett's charm is the fact that it has just the right amount of sketch and local flare.
When I say I love pork, I firmly stand behind the "other white meat" - i LOVE it. Â So, needless to say when I see a pulled pork BBQ sandwich, i start foaming at the mouth! Â
In Orlando, my favorite pulled BBQ heaven is found at Wildside BBQ: <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/wildside-bbq-and-grill-orlando#hrid:O0vpKYlqhbYE_Px9RGHvjg">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a>
However, when I visit St. Augustine, which is easily three times a year, I stop here to enjoy this yummo overflowing delight on a scrumptious bun! Â They also have solid margaritas on the rocks. Â
The restaurant has a cute old time house feel that matches the little old town. Â They have a front porch that has live musicians gracing the airwaves as you relax and enjoy your lunch or dinner and take in the surroundings.
Inside there is a musty smell that takes you back to an old time saloon and has various gone with the wind memorabilia and portraits. Â
This is a great little period restaurant and when in the area, it's a definite stop on the tour!
Won't tell you how long I've been going to Scarlett's legally but wow- am I getting old! Â Anyway it's still one of my fave places to go when I'm home- not just for the memories- but cuz it's cool.
Grab a beer and sit in a rocking chair on the porch and watch St. Augustine walk by. Seriously fun both day and night and the food may be pub grub but its good.
If you can't sit outside (and those rockers fill up really fast) then the next best place to sit is upstairs. Â There's rumors of a ghost but in all my too many to count visits, I've never seen it. Â Maybe next time...
