O'Steen's Restaurant & Social Media





O’Steen’s Restaurant is a family restaurant that is most well known for having the best friend shrimp in St. Augustine, FL. They are located at 205 Anastasia Blvd. right near the historic Lions Bridge. O’Steens is a small restaurant that does things, I guess you could say, the old fashion way. They are open Tuesday to Saturday from 11:00am- 9:00om, only take cash, and do not serve alcohol. They do offer an ATM machine incase customers do not have cash on hand. 
Although they run on an old fashion shift, they have made the plunge into the social media world. O’Steens has a Facebook Fan Page where people can check-in to their restaurant if they are there eating. The site also provides information about the family owned restaurant. They are on Yelp and Foursquare, which are outstanding sites to get consumer feedback about local businesses. O’Steens also has a website wear consumers can purchase O’Steens t-shirts, however it is not a full site about O’Steens. 
One aspect of O’steens that I truly thought was a fun way to give insight to the consumers was when I found a video of O’steens making their famous fried shrimp. 


O’Steens has made the plunge into social media; however, if they dig deeper I feel they will be even more profitable. I think they need to make a full website for their business and add a Twitter account as well. For a local restaurant they do good business, but just a little but more social media buzz and their local business could really start to boom!
