Fried Chicken Kitchen Food Truck
Fried Chicken Kitchen is a relatively newcomer to the food truck scene in St. Augustine, but when they came they won the hearts of all the fried chicken lovers out there quickly. Their location changes so you need to check where they will be. Some days they are parked near the county office buildings, sometimes at a car dealership, or the Wednesday mornings Farmer's Market at the Pier, but sometimes they are catering a private event.

Nalu's Tropical Takeout - A St. Augustine Food Truck
Let's start with the oldest food truck in St. Augustine. Nalu's opened in 2002 and is still going strong with some of the best burritos and tacos around served up with Hawaiian inspired sauces. You will find Nalu's parked in the parking lot of The Surf Station at 1020 Anastasia Blvd. near the entrance to Anastasia State Park and across from The Alligator Farm. They open around 11 am, close at Sunset and are closed on Tuesdays.
Breakfast, Anyone?
St. Augustine has many great restaurants and those that serve breakfast shouldn't be missed. We try to hit at least one new one on each stay at The Sand Bucket at Seaside, but with so many to choose from we can't eat at all of them. These are some of our favorites and some that we often hear that we need to try. These are in no particular order and please note that some are close by and some are in the downtown area if you prefer a later breakfast or brunch.
