    The best GYROS I have ever had! French fries were cooked perfectly and had that nice crunch to them that I love. If you love garlic like I do they have a garlic sauce that will make you a believer! It’s the best, the owners are very nice and welcoming as well.

    Falafel Queen is an absolute gem! The vegetable platter was delicious, and the employees were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for exceptional food and service! 😊 We'll be back!

    My daughter and I decided to try falafel queen for the first time today. I have heard great things about the food and I was so happy to find out for myself that the reviews were correct. We will definitely be coming back again and again.

    A hidden gem. A hole in the wall! Cozy, super friendly, cute, sparse sitting area, kitchen right in your face, delivery boxes right next to you, so intimate, and soooo amazing food! Why are all restaurants so corporate like set up. These little family gems are the best! Wish we had time to take pics! Cropped these however!

    I LOVE this family owned restaurant. The food is DELICIOUS and the owners are so friendly. It’s small and quaint but I like that and I am never disappointed by the food. The bad reviews on here are really shocking to me and honestly just don’t make any sense because this place is consistently on point in every way!

    A nice little gem in Saint Augustine tucked in the corner of a strip mall Falafel Queen will certainly surprise you if you go in with low expectations. The owners are also the chefs and their food was fresh and delicious. And yes, the falafel is some f the best I’ve had in the area. Most items were moderately priced as well. I would have liked to have seen more drinks available, it’s one of my pet peeves to have a great little place have nothing but canned sodas in a cooler..... other than that the experience was a good one!

    As others have mentioned, this is a true mom and pop shop! Very friendly atmosphere, fair prices, and most importantly — fresh and tasty food. I recommend getting the Kafta platter!

    Amazing food! The falafel and spinach pie were delicious. I wanted to share a picture, but I couldn't stop eating long enough to take one. This is definitely my new favorite place to grab a quick bite to eat.

    I was so disappointed by this place. Ordered a chicken shawarma wrap and stuffed grape leaves. The "wrap" was barely folded together in a store bought flimsy tortilla(not a pita) so it completely fell apart when I tried to eat it. The chicken had a bizarre soot flavor to it. The grape leaves were fine but you could tell were not homemade, they came from a can.

    As a Detroiter, the scariest part of leaving is the lack of Mediterranean food elsewhere in the US, so I'm super happy to have found this place! A rare gem in Florida. Very good food!

    We love it here! The food is sooo good and the owners are super nice! It's hard to find good Libanese food in the US, but they know what they're doing at Falafel Queen! We usually dine in, they have a few tables and a small bar area. Also they have so many vegetarian options!

    Amazing food! We had the hummus, fries, chicken tawouk, and kafta. It was so unbelievably good, I would happily eat there every week if I lived in St. Augustine. The service was great, and it was such a family atmosphere. I was thrilled to find out I could buy the tahini that was used in the hummus there. Bought a jar, and I'll be trying to perfect my own hummus recipe. It'll never be as good as hers though...

    Sweetest couple who owns this place! They were so kind and friendly and even with an abundance of orders coming in at once, they were quick and the food was DELICIOUS! 10/10 recommended !

  • 5/5 Grace H. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing!! Everything is made fresh to order, I got the chicken & kafta combo platter and it was delicious. The couple that owns it are so friendly and accommodating. Everything on the menu is $15 or less with lots of sandwiches and other items under $10, so great value. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town! 🥙😊

    So - Food was OK Too embraced to return my Chicken - thinking it would be ground chicken kebab as shown on the picture menu And the what was sent was not anyway near kebabs of chicken- and then to make it worse - the Chicken was not cooked fully - Lastly we were 4 we ordered I plain gyro as in menu price $7 2 chicken shawarma combo with Fries Menu price $10.50 x2 $21 Then my main meal checked Kebob meal - menu read $12.50 I plate Falafel $3. I bottle of Water $1.50 This all adds up to $ 45.50 If you as them up $45.50 But I was having allergic headache plus I was hungry with kids Being new in the town and embarrassed She showed $57. ?! This was $12. Over the menu price for what I had ordered I said ok ?! Whatever Here cr card machine is set up to force you pay the tip - but that was not it - I clearly at this point said I will not pay the tip politely - she said press the green enter - I did lol and behold $8.81 I ended up paying an extra $21.00 I ended up paying $67.81 I should have been at $47 max - for a meal I could’ve enjoyed at Chicka fila and would’ve gave cost us $40 max My gripe is this was not a good experience on how they over charged - I don’t believe in tipping unless the food is extraordinarily excellent and service is out of this world - this was fast food take away - I really felt cheated. I hope they becomes honest - it is for Their own benefit I promise myself and my family will not step into that joint ever again if we ever visit St Augustine - bad experience - I’m sorry you talked good - but a customer should not be overcharged -

    The food was so delicious and the value was excellent. The owner even offered to make me mujadara which is one of my favorite dishes and is not on their menu. The service was outstanding! Falafel Queen is fantastic!!

    The food is fresh and flavorful! Family owned and operated, made to order, best pita and falafels my Wife and I have had. We ate our food so fast we forgot to take pictures. My Wife recommends the cauliflower pita. 5 🌟 Such a treat while we were in town. Thank you 🙏

    I use to live in Dearbon Michigan there is a Arabic restaurant on every corner so I really am familiar with the food. I moved here 5 years ago she can compete with the best in Dearbon!!! There pricing is great she didn’t go up on her prices like the other restaurants. I wish she would franchise.

    Went there for lunch today. So lovely to find a local spot that's not blown up and making you wait for an hour for food. Amazingly fresh and flavorful beyond expectations. They were very accommodating for our food allergies. I can't wait to try more items. My husband got the Chicken Tawouk and it knocked my socks off! I got the Chicken Shwarma and it was spectacular, as was the side of hummus. And friendly, warm service!

    Fun, Friendly, Family owned Lebanese Cusine Cafe, we went with Falafel and Gyro, Grape Leaves, fries - Golden and crinkled..Pretty much a home run and we bought Turkish Delight ( Think Narnia ) and 2 jars of Baroody -Super Honey w Nuts for gift giving. Also they are available via Grubhub. 🌹🎄🙂👍💖 P.S. check out their Veggitarian Party Platter Awesomeness 🌻🌻🌻

  • 5/5 Dennis B. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredibly good food at reasonable prices. Pictured is the "Vegetarian Platter" that comes with hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, and stuffed grape leaves. I also got a side order of grape leaves because they are fantastic!!! Definitely worth a visit whether you are local or visiting.
