Cozy, local spot next to the beach/Pope Road. The Eggs Benedict could not have been better (and I can be a Benedict snob). Perfect Hollandaise over my perfectly poached egg (just a hint of lemon in the Hollandaise). We both tried different Bene's: Crab Cakes vs Ultimate (cake with lobster, crab & shrimp). This could have been a disaster with old/stale seafood but it was just the best fresh tasting seafood cakes instead! Kudos Little Margie's!Excellent service from our male server-I can understand why this is a local favorite spot! Sampled a little of their dark brew on tap-we will be back for happy hour & fresh local oysters!

Little unassuming beach spot with good food and daily specials. There's a Filipino flair to the menu with items like pancit, lumpia, and adobo pork but also items like a Cuban sandwich, oysters, and burgers. It feels like a local watering hole with repeat clientele and a bit divey - which is def offers a fun personality. People were super friendly and warm

Like any clam, pretty on the outside, but if the flesh is rubbery or gritty, it ruins the course. Also, there's an old dude that paces the grounds, acts all smug smoking in all the wrong places, acts senile when confronted. Makes the patrons uncomfortable. I've seen tighter teamwork from a pile of broken shells. And the only thing you've mastered is making clams cry, old man. Restaurant etiquette sucks here too. I guarantee you will be suspicious of everything and anything in there...The consistent patrons who frequent the restaurant seem to share a pattern of behavior that suggests a certain exclusivity or bias. This atmosphere can come across as unwelcoming or even discriminatory to outsiders, which is concerning.

The only reason the service was bad when I went was it was 1 person doing table service and bartender. The place is small but lively. I'm extending mercy on service, it's hard for 1 person to play the drums and serve drinks at the same time.The shrimp and grits had its own unique taste. It was so good, the extra crab meat was full of flavor. Don't let the look discourage you, it is definitely setting itself apart from others in the area. That's a good thing.It is a small intimate place, i will say definitely "dive bar" atmosphere. Definitely a great place for watching sporting events and conversation with new and old friends.

So today's my birthday and instead of going somewhere fancy, we left it to fate. We got in the car and took a leisurely ride down A1A towards St Augustine and gawked at the beachside three-story mansions. We passed through the touristy areas and ended up at a dive spot called Little Margie's FA Cafe. It serves a fairly standard menu of breakfast items, tacos, sandwiches, salads, etc. However, Margie is Filipino, so there's a little corner of the menu with Filipino staples; lumpia, pancit, and adobo.I got an order of lumpia and chicken adobo. The lumpia was filled seasoned ground pork wrapped and deep-fried. Crispy and delicious.In classical music, there's something called a "theme and variation." Variation is a formal technique where material is repeated in an altered form. The changes may involve melody, rhythm, harmony, counterpoint, timbre, orchestration or any combination of these.Filipino adobo is like classical music. The basic ingredient "themes" is chicken (or pork), soy sauce, garlic, pepper, vinegar, and bay leaves. Beyond that, you can create "variations." Some add honey for a bit of sweetness. Some use coconut vinegar instead of white. Margie's variation is very ginger forward. And it was great! Something I would copy in my own cooking.It was a great start to a birthday foodie weekend!

Margie's is just the the kind of place I look for when vacationing. Locally Owned and operated. There always seems to be a little extra in everything they do. A small but very beachy restaurant right across A1A from the ocean. Margie, originally from the Philippines, brings a wonderful work ethic, delightful personality and quite the array of tasty dishes with some Philippine and Caribbean flare, sprinkled with some American favorites. Everything on the menu looked delicious but I was only here once and it was Thursday, Blueberry Pancakes day! So blueberry pancakes it was! Lol. The cakes were thick but very light and fluffy on the inside. Lots of fresh blueberries, some butter and warm syrup with a side of extra crispy bacon and a delicious cup of hot coffee set the tone for a wonderful day! Margie's is at the top of my list for the next time I'm in St Augustine.

This place is awesome!! Came in on Wednesday 5/24 after we went to the Farmer's Market. Everything was so good, and perfectly priced. It's definitely a hole in the wall GEM. Staff were so kind, coffee was HOT, FRESH, and perefectly roasted. Food came out in large portions and so tasty. Inside wasn't too big, but there was outdoor seating that looked perfect if there weren't so many of us!
