Fried green tomatoes o
Mark D.

Our first time at Pickled in Ft. Pierce, and wow--it did not disappoint! We started with a cocktail, their signature Whistle Pig Old Fashioned, cheekily named the "Tickle Your Pickle." As cocktail enthusiasts, we appreciated the creativity in both the name and the flavors. For appetizers, we couldn't resist trying the fried green tomatoes, which were enormous! Fried to a perfect crunch and served piping hot, they were absolutely heavenly. Appetizer #2 was the smoked salmon crostinis--generously portioned, topped with savory seasoned cream cheese and chives. These were some of the tastiest salmon bites we've ever had and could have made a meal on their own. For the entree, we went with the Real Mac Burger, a classic American cheeseburger cooked to order. I decided to enhance mine with some bacon, and it was definitely worth it. The burger was hot, juicy, and downright life-altering. Every bite was pure deliciousness. Since Pickled is also a bourbon bar, I had to try one more cocktail: a whiskey sour. While it was enjoyable, it felt a bit hastily made--just bourbon and sour mix over ice--missing that touch of freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup that makes a great whiskey sour shine. But hey, it was still a solid drink, and we look forward to coming back soon to explore their vast bourbon selection and the brunch menu. Classy place, fantastic food, and a great atmosphere--Pickled is a must-visit in Ft. Pierce!

It's unfortunate that I feel compelled to write this, as I typically don't leave negative reviews. I strongly believe in supporting small businesses and want to see them succeed. However, our recent experience on Mother's Day was unacceptable and left us with no alternative but to speak out. We made a reservation and arrived expecting a pleasant brunch, especially since this was once a spot we frequented and genuinely enjoyed under previous management. What we encountered instead was disorganized, unprofessional, and frankly, disappointing on every level. To begin, our drink order was incorrect--not a major issue, but a sign of what was to come. The brunch menu was extremely limited (only five options), and by the time we ordered, only three were available due to the kitchen running out of ingredients. No pancakes, no omelets--hardly what one would call a brunch menu. I ordered an iced coffee that contained actual coffee grounds. I ended up choking on it, which was both unpleasant . Even worse, my girlfriend slipped on the wet floor while heading to the restroom. Rather than offering assistance, the owner began taking photos of the area--presumably to protect himself legally--and later denied the incident entirely as if they didn't believe her! We even told them a staff member asked if I was over. Still covered it up with a witness at hand . Our child ordered a burger, which arrived with a burnt bun and an overcooked patty. At that point, the experience had gone from disappointing to absurd. We asked to speak to the manager, and both the owner and hostess came over. The hostess did most of the talking--oddly defensive and unprofessional--and it became clear there was some sort of personal relationship between them. When I expressed concern about the limited menu and lack of kitchen preparedness, the owner claimed to be unaware of the issue and blamed it on an "unexpected rush." It was Mother's Day--how could that possibly be unexpected? I told him, candidly, that he didn't appear suited for restaurant ownership. Instead of addressing our concerns, the hostess asked me not to "attack him," and they both walked away without offering any apology or resolution. Before leaving, we spoke to another table who confirmed similar experiences and shared that the original owners had moved on, leaving the current owner--formerly a silent partner--running things. The difference in quality is glaring. This restaurant used to be a local gem with creativity, good food, and a family-friendly atmosphere. It is now unrecognizable. We canceled our food, paid for our drinks, and left--disappointed, frustrated, and honestly saddened by what this place has become.

Food was so good! It's been the best shrimp and grits I've had! Our server was amazing (can't remember his name as we had bottomless mimosas ). Groovy place I plan to visit again very soon. Love how spacious and welcoming it feels. I don't understand why Pickled has such a low score. They definitely serve high-end food and service is impeccable.

Met up with a friend and we were looking for a brunch spot, so this fit the bill. We were the first to arrive but by the time we left, they had seated quite a few patrons. The ambiance is very cute; there is ample seating, nice bathrooms, and friendly service. Parking is limited to street parking nearby so that is another consideration to make, however... the weakest link here unfortunately was the food. While my friend green tomato eggs Benedict looked impressive, the egg was overcooked, the fried green tomato didn't taste like much and there was barely any hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were forgettable. My friend enjoyed her short rib but also didn't care for the rest of the dish, and her bacon was undercooked. Maybe this place is better for drinks, i can't speak to the bar but it looked well stocked!

Smash burger

We saw this little historic restaurant upon leaving the weekend farmers market. Southern brunch sounded great. Super friendly people, even the owner came to the table for a quick chat! Food was beautifully presented, and the taste was even better!!! For dessert, we tried one of their many unique cocktails. Fabulous!!! Chocolate peanut butter bourbon for me! We will definitely eat there again.

Great spot for lunch or dinner. We had lunch, sat at the bar. Stellar service (Brad) with excellent recommendations of deviled eggs, cheese burger to shrimp and grits. The bourbon smash was favored by my daughter and husband. It in the area, check it out. Open floor plan, large bar and priced right to boot.

I give Harmony 5 STARS! Shes amazing hooked us with a hot toady with Bubba! Breakfast in a bottle and amazing customer service! Harmony STAYS!

Sound bounces everywhere due to the hard surfaces (ceiling), but certainly looks great.

I really like the location. It's located on the water, technically on the inlet, next to Jetty Park. The views of the water is gorgeous - it's a deep aqua color, and I always enjoy watching boats navigate through inlets. The place has a tropical Tiki Hut vibe with palm trees and sand surrounding umbrella covered tables. There's also seating at the bar under the "Tike Hut". Service is at the bar. Instructions and a QR code (which downloads their menu) are provided on a board in front of the bar. So after a quick look at the menu I stepped up to the bar where I was greeted by a friendly employee. I ordered their Smoked Fish Dip ($14.00) and a Shiner Bock ($4.25). She brought me my bottle of Shiner Bock (no drafts at this place) along with a small electronic buzzer device that she told me to take back with me to my table, and when my order was ready it would notify me. It was practically no time after I sat down and my electronic device notified me that my order was ready. Again, service is at the bar - this time pickup was at the far end of the bar. You give the employee the electronic buzzer and the employee gives you your order. I found the Smoked Fish Dip very good. It consisted of a blend of wild caught Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Whitefish, and Whiting. It was served with freshly fried corn tortilla chips, red onions, tomatoes, and ¡alapeños. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of fried corn tortillas with any kind of smoked fish dip, and would have much preferred plain saltines instead. But no biggie. Note, there's a sign out front notifying everyone that: * 21+ for admission * No dogs * No kids * No babies (No kidding) I'm not sure of the reasoning behind these rules, but it's important to know before arriving with the family and your favorite 4 legged fur baby. The location, the food, and the friendly atmosphere gets 4 stars from me.

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.

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.

This site says tipping optional. Well, it isn't optional. It's even added if you're sitting at…read morethe bar! Food is mediocre at best. There's plenty of other restaurants on Main Street. The fact is - I tip more than what they add.
