The St. Augustine Lighthouse is shaking things up with its eatery called the “Tin Pickle.” This World War II-themed eatery embraces the 1940’s spirit with lots of unique offerings.

“The rosemary pickle was hands down the best pickle I’ve ever had” – Jeannie (Dunnellon, FL)
“I loved this place. I got to try the spicy pickles and obviously, there is a lot of thought that goes into these recipes.”- Jordan (Brandon, FL)
The Tin Pickle is located within the museum grounds in a charming World War II-era Coast Guard Jeep garage. With a name like Tin Pickle you know it’s going to be unique.
The name goes back to WWII and is slang for a submarine or torpedo and, “gedunk” refers to the canteen or snack bar on a large United States Navy vessel.
At the Tin Pickle, you can quench your thirst after a climb up the Lighthouse with seasonal refreshments like house-made sangria, watermelon water, local beers, and even sangria popsicles.
It doesn’t stop there. The oven is always going with fresh baked goodies and don’t miss out on our twisted hot dog toppings. There is always something to delight the taste buds.
“If I could give more stars I would! Friendly service, absolutely delicious homemade food, and a beautiful view.” -Abigail (Brandon, FL)
The Tin Pickle is a fun and quirky spot to refuel while visiting the Museum. You’ll love the nostalgic atmosphere, complete with historical photos and stories that transport you back to the 1940s.
