Have been a resident of Fort Pierce for years, but this is the first time I ate here. The first…read morething our waiter said to us was you know there's an 18% gratuity added. Literally instead of a hello We had already been told this by the hostess as she seated us and considering they've got it on the menu as well as at the table in big letters, I'm assuming this is a problem for most people. It is for me. I will usually tip even at lunch 25% for good service but when the management is forcing me to pay 18%, whether the service is good or not, then that's what I'm going to pay. Management is not doing their wait staff any favors. I took a star off for that. As far as the food, I was pleasantly surprised. I had fried green tomatoes and the fish and chips. My niece had a smash burger. She says hers was excellent. The fried green tomatoes were literally the best I've ever had. Which is saying a lot because I love this appetizer and will usually order it in any southern restaurant. The fish and chips were also good but not great. The fish was tender, and the breading was crispy and not too soggy, but it was not perfectly crispy. The french fries were lacking in flavor and chewy. But basically the food was good and the service was satisfactory but not great. But I will be back to try other items on the menu -/ if you're setting the bar for an 18% tip then that saves the customers a lot of money when they would usually do 25 to 30%. When I see this in a restaurant, it tells me that the management does not want to dip in their profits to give their employees health insurance, but depends on the customer to do it for them.

We found this spot in downtown Fort Pierce while looking for breakfast, and it turned out to be a…read moregreat find. Not only do they offer a wide variety of options, but they're also dog-friendly--and even have a menu for your furry friend, which was such a nice touch. We ordered the omelet and the waffles, and both were delicious. Our waitress was incredibly attentive--she quickly brought our coffee and even a bowl of water for our dog. She truly made the experience even better. The prices were reasonable, and the ambiance was lovely. We sat outside on a covered porch with a nice view which made it even more enjoyable. If the 18% charge is genuinely being distributed to the service staff, I'm completely comfortable with it. I believe in supporting the people who are providing the service, especially when they contribute to a positive experience. As long as it's clear that this fee is not just an added cost but actually benefits the staff, I have no issue with it. We will definitely be back!

For starters, the calamari was perfectly crispy and fresh. Sauce ok, but the calamari was good all by itself. I highly recommend the butterflied snapper with steamed veggies. Delicious! The veggie pasta plate was huge and the pasta cooked to perfection. The shrimp scampi pasta was sooo good. The linguini was perfectly al dente and the shrimp big and plump and yummy. Oh! And let's not forget the mile high key lime pie. Even if you don't care for key lime pie you will absolutely love this one. It's more like a key lime ice cream but better. Servers were fantastic despite the busyness of the place they never neglected to check on us. Great place. Highly recommend.

It can be pretty frustrating, especially if you're visiting for the first time and end up driving around in circles trying to find it. Once you arrive, though, it's worth the effort. The restaurant is located right on the water next to the boat ramp and has an enormous amount of parking. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a full bar area. The outdoor seating is especially nice since it's completely covered on the deck but with all of the bushes and plant surrounding the deck, you're not really getting much of a view. This visit, we opted to sit at the bar and were lucky enough to snag three seats together. Our bartender was awesome and did a fantastic job throughout the meal. They don't serve liquor here, only beer and wine, so I ordered a rosé. The bartender recommended a cute little $16 bottle that came in its own mini bucket. It was adorable and paired perfectly with my meal. For my entrée, I ordered the Ahi tuna with broccoli and a side salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband, however, definitely won the meal competition with the shrimp stuffed with crab meat and mashed potatoes. I stole a bite, and wow--it was incredible. The flavor and texture were outstanding, and I'll absolutely be ordering that next time. One of the funniest parts of the visit was the bartender's T-shirt featuring Anthony Bourdain flipping you off on the back. They were selling them, and I couldn't resist buying one. I'm pretty excited to wear it. Overall, we always enjoy coming here. Great waterfront atmosphere, good food, friendly service, and plenty of parking make it a place we'll continue to visit.

They also offer service with a smile. Great casual spot that is family friendly!

The prices are reasonable and the food is yummy! I had a 6 inch turkey sub. It was tasty and fresh, even the bread was really good. My husband had a Buffalo Soldier sub which had a heaping helping of chicken, with cheddar cheese and bacon; plus just the right amount is spice. They have counter ordering; but the food was delivered to our table.....pretty quickly too. I love to support small businesses and I'm happy that Sharky's is still thriving. We'll be making this our regular stop when we drive through Fort Pierce.

It is definitely one of our go to spots and has some amazing bartenders that are able to handle large crowds without anyone feeling as though they're not getting the attention they deserve! Tipsy Tiki is like having Key West right here in Fort Pierce. Prices are super fair and weekday. Happy hours are always nice. They do not serve/sell food, but the Funky Cuda is right next-door for an amazing smash burger and on weekends there is always a food truck available in the parking lot. It's a variety every weekend so you never know what is going to be available... take your chances or just die before you arrive! Please take care of your fabulous bartenders here as they are amazing ! It is definitely a must visit if you are here from out of town- you will love meeting our local flavor as those of us that live here frequent this establishment often if they enjoy live music!

I stumbled upon this bar while having breakfast next-door and decided we didn't want the morning to end. We came in and had bloody Mary's and just hung out a bit. I honestly couldn't believe that the bloody Mary's were $4 and were pretty well-made My husband and I did come here one night after dinner across the street since we did hear live music. We hung out a bit and sat on the swings and had a cocktail while enjoying ourselves with the band that was performing. It's pretty cool that they don't have a fee to come in, which is unusual, but I appreciate it. Somebody like myself from West Palm Beach that is usually used to paying a fee when there's a life band performing at night. You can definitely tell this is where all the locals are and living in such a boring county as in PSL this is nice to have. I would definitely recommend coming here.

We arrived right at sunset, and the view alone was worth the trip--golden skies, boats drifting by, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The crab cakes were excellent--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. The poppers were just as good, with a great crunch and bold taste. Everything came out fresh and well-prepared. Drinks were cold and refreshing, perfect for enjoying while watching the sunset over the water. What really adds to the experience is the live entertainment. On weekends, they have bands playing that bring that laid-back, Florida-chilled atmosphere to life without overwhelming the vibe. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better. This is more than just a place to eat--it's a full waterfront dining experience. Great food, great views, live music, and a true Florida feel.
