St. Augustine and A1A Ale Works

Our weekend on the Georgia coast started with a trip to St. Augustine. We decided to stop in St. Augustine for lunch before heading to Jekyll Island. We decided to stop at A1A Ale Works. Surprisingly, we had no trouble finding a parking space. Last time Huck and I were in St. Augustine, we couldn’t find anywhere to park and ended up leaving the historic district without food.

{This will be the only time I talk about food in my weekend recaps. Nothing on this trip excited me and most of our meals just pissed me off. One of the worst meals/dinning experiences, I can remember, was on our first night in Savannah, if that tells you anything. It was a weekend of overpriced, shitty food or overpriced mediocre food! I can take some of the blame for that, though. We usually waited until we were really hungry and already a couple beer in before looking for dinner, but more on that later}

Once we were seated at A1A Ale Works, we ordered a couple of flights, and everyone ordered something different for the menu. I went with the Crab BLT and A1A Cheese Soup, Huck ordered the Fish Tacos, and Chris and Lisa split a Ahi Tuna Burger. My sandwich was overflowing with crabmeat. Huck’s tacos were great, but the Tuna was hands down the best! Yum!

On our way out, we noticed the store next to the restaurant sold flavored balsamic vinegar and olive oils. We sampled a few before I settled on the Honey Ginger Aged Balsamic. It was the first one I tried. The lady mixed it with a garlic olive oil for us to try and said it was perfect as a salad dressing or great drizzled on chicken or seafood. It was SO GOOD! I can’t wait to make something with it! Maybe a future blog post… maybe! With our Balsamic in hand, we walked around town for a little while before making our way to Jekyll.

Our plan was to arrive in Jekyll early, to explorer the area, but we got a late start from our house, had to drop off the yahoos, and spent more time in St. Augustine than originally planned. We didn’t arrive in Jekyll until later in the afternoon.

  1. Traveling and dining with you guys is great. We wish we could have brought you guys along to the places we ate at in Savannah, not a bad meal to be had where we went. The shot of Huch and ‘Lil P’ with his hat on is awesome!
