Saltwater Cowboy's

"I can in no way justify how much I liked these spongy rolls infused with oily cheese flavor, but by the time the meal was over, they were long gone."
Michael Stern






"Red chowder is big in the area around St. Augustine, where the custom is to hotten it up by including locally-grown datil peppers."
Michael Stern



"You get a choice of salad or slaw with dinner. The slaw is crisp and cabbagy, scarcely dressed and quite refreshing."
Michael Stern



"This creamy pie features sweet chunks of pineapple and crunchy pecan pieces, all suspended in an almost-marshmallow-textured cream mixture that's not overly sweet (it might be based on cream cheese)."
Susanne Hupfer



"Whatever fish you choose can be prepared in accord with that day's kitchen special. Here's red snapper, given the dill-cucumber treatment. The creamy-cool sauce was a lovely blanket for the hunky fish."
Michael Stern



"The fried gator appetizer (made from alligator tail meat) is reminiscent of moist, tender chicken cutlets that are very mildly flavored. The spicy breading adds some zip, and the orange-lime dipping sauce contributes a sweet Florida flavor punch."
Susanne Hupfer



"Drinks are served in Mason jars."
Michael Stern



"The restaurant is full of these Florida-rustic bentwood chairs, no two alike."
Michael Stern



"The view from Saltwater Cowboy's tables is lovely. And as this is on the intercoastal waterway, facing west, the sunsets are spectacular."
Michael Stern



"Talk about casual! Saltwater Cowboy's is as relaxed as a restaurant can be. Its goal is to evoke the lazy feel of an old Florida fish camp, and while I'm no old Florida fisherman, it works for me!"
