Barefoot Bill's Island Grill
About This Spot
Tucked away at the end of a charming indoor shopping alley in St. Augustine, Barefoot Bill's Island Grill welcomes you with an unpretentious, laid-back vibe that feels like a well-kept secret shared among friends. The pace here invites you to slow down, settle in, and enjoy the kind of casual comfort that only a family-friendly spot with a genuine local pulse can offer.
As you find your own seat—something you quickly learn to do yourself—the friendly staff are always attentive without being intrusive, anticipating your needs with a warmth that makes the experience feel uniquely personal. The atmosphere hums quietly with easy conversation, punctuated by occasional laughter and the clinking of glasses, a subtle soundtrack to meals shared and moments made.
The kitchen here crafts more than just meals; it serves up a porch swing of island-inspired flavors and American classics where each bite carries a relaxed, unpolished joy. Whether reaching for a burger topped with playful twists, indulgent fried shrimp kissed by coconut, or a melt that blends savory layers with a bit of laid-back flair, the food feels like a casual invitation to savor the simple things done well. Sides arrive as reliable companions, from crispy fries to fresh coleslaw, completing plates meant to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.
Whether you’re dropping in for a quick lunch after ducking around the nearby streets or lingering over a cold brew and a late afternoon snack, Barefoot Bill’s is a reminder that great local spots are as much about who’s around the table as what’s on it. With every visit, there’s a little more to discover—a friendly nod from the server, a new favorite combination on the menu, a shared smile in an otherwise busy day.

Barefoot Bill’s Island Grill is a hidden gem! The burgers are absolutely stand-out—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. If you’re a burger lover, this is your spot. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, making the experience even better. The atmosphere is a little unique since it’s tucked away at the end of an indoor shopping alley, but that adds to its charm. Plus, there are lots of TVs, so it’s a great place to catch a game while enjoying your meal. It’s also a bit off the water, which made it easier to get in during a busy day—no long waits, just great food. Oh, and did I mention the burgers? Seriously, they’re worth the trip!

JUICIEST BURGER Idk why some people are saying their burgers were over cooked, my Calypso Burger was made very well! I squeezed It, and It just oozed goodness. I didn’t realize you had to seat yourself so that took me a second, but once seated outside we were quickly greeted. We unfortunately couldn’t stay long due to other plans we had, however the server was nice enough to bring our check immediately with to-go boxes and bags. Their beers are cold and the vibes are perfect for a hot summer day. highly recommend & will definitely visit again!!

Forgot to write this review because my friend and I were tipsy and had just been to a funeral and life is hard- this is for September. Let me tell you: Tamika was the best waitress ever. My friend and I ordered two baskets of mozzarella sticks. Zero judgement from Tamika. In fact, she thought it was funny and shared plenty of laughs with us. The cheese? Superb, and laid on cabbage to separate the oil. Genius. 100/10 experience. Tamika if you still work here, you’re my favorite server of all time and you deserve a raise. Much love! Also the floor was clean which was awesome considering it was in the evening downtown. If you know you know!

Big shout out to Demika and her crew Saturday night (Sept. 27)—they were amazing! Service was spot on, food came out hot, fresh, and super tasty. My wife loved her chicken philly (10/10!), and my build-a-burger was perfect—I cleaned the plate. Even the jalapeño poppers had a real kick. First time here, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Staff are always considerate, offering you what you need before you know you need it! I'd ordered the Calypso Burger, extra mayo, and the waitress handed me more napkins before I could get embarrassed, haha. Speaking of, the burger was absolutely killer. Juicy, tall, usually I can't stand eating them but I absolutely had to try it. And it knocked it out of the park! Was eating like a caveman by the fourth bite, and I'll absolutely be back for another one soon enough. If you're in the area, it's a reliable, fairly priced choice for a quick meal. Gets busy later on at night, though, so if you're hungry, get on line quick.
