    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

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

    We stopped by for lunch recently, and the most overwhelming and impactful reaction we had was: "Wow, it is super loud in here". We couldn't even have a conversation between us from each side of the booth it was so loud. Part of it is the people that were there, the other part of it is the lack of sound deadening. There are hard walls, hard ceilings, and hard surfaces everywhere else, so the sound just bounces everywhere. That alone made it an unenjoyable experience. But then our food took 50 minutes to come out (a burger and a short rib disk), so that meant we had to sit in that level of sound for that long as well. The place was only half full, so is that just standard operating procedure? The food wasn't bad, the burger and short rib were quite tasty, actually. But the whole overall experience just wasn't pleasant. We received no apologies or compensation for the extra time or grief. If you walk in and it's empty, then I would recommend you eat there, because the food was good. If the place looks half full or more, you might want to make sure you have ear plugs and an hour of extra time.

    Poached eggs, short rib hash

    We kinda stopped in by accident! It was so very good. Bottomless mimosa for me (grapefruit!) Wayne enjoyed Bloody Mary. We started with deviled eggs - with maple Cajun bacon. Then I enjoyed way too much of the French toast with OMG bourbon caramel sauce and syrup. Wayne had short rib hash - his only suggestion for improving is to not deep fry the potatoes. Sausage, bacon, eggs were all done perfectly. The space is large, yet cozy. A good vibe for sure, we set at the bar and were very well taken care of by Christina.

    I have been regularly visiting the Square Grouper Tiki Bar in Fort Pierce for 3 years. From the…read moredoor staff to the managers, this establishment is top notch! It is run so well. They ALL speak to everybody whether they know you by name or not. No cell phones are allowed by the bar staff behind the bar is probably one of my favorite rules. The scenery is breathtaking, from the water you can see the boats come and go in and out from the jetty. There is Derecktor Shipyard located at the end so there are many impressive boats coming in and out for repairs. And the sunsets are amazing! Food is great and plentiful. Prices are VERY reasonable. I like the fact that they don't charge a service fee for anything. Heaters and roll down windows are used when necessary. Watching patrons playing the ring-toss game is fun (some of the locals are very competitive). The bar staff is GREAT! A MUST stop for visitors in the area. The nightly music (except on Sundays) and their weekend day music is exceptional. The only very minor complaint I have is the employee uniforms. Black shirts do not go well in the dead of summer with no breeze. The girls need some sort of a hat to cover their heads in the middle of the windy winter days, also, a heavier hoodie. Those thin ones just don't cut it.

    My family and I visited Square Grouper on Saturday, May 2, in the afternoon, around 1:30-2:00 PM. I…read morewas with my elderly parents, who are in their 80s, and our two small dogs, a Maltese and a Chihuahua, both around 10 lbs. One of them is my seizure alert dog. Upon arrival, we were questioned about the dogs in a way that felt inappropriate. I was asked whether they were service animals, and when I confirmed that one was, I was further questioned about my medical condition, which made me extremely uncomfortable. We were eventually allowed in. I was unaware of the dog policy and was not informed that dogs were not allowed, these people don't even allow children I later saw (not family friendly). I rejoined my parents and we sat at a table off to the side, away from other guests, as we are always mindful that not everyone is comfortable around dogs. I ordered drinks and food at the bar, then stepped away briefly to use the restroom. The bartender (Olivia) was dismissive and made me wait a long time to order, not very inviting. When I returned, a manager approached our table in an aggressive and confrontational manner and insisted that we leave, claiming the dogs were barking. This was not accurate, neither of the dogs barked. We were shocked by the way the situation was handled, especially because there was no attempt to speak to us calmly or respectfully. It was a bit savage, something we aren't used to. When I asked what we should do since we had already ordered, I was rudely told the food would be packed up and brought outside. I went to the bar to cancel the order instead and asked for the manager's name, but the bartender refused to provide it. The manager then came to the bar and confronted me in a rude and dismissive tone. When I tried to calmly address the issue, he became even more confrontational and started to laugh, extremely unprofessional and disrespectful - trying to instigate the situation even more. I told him I would not lower myself to his level of communication and that the situation lacked basic customer service. After that, his behavior became even more aggressive. As we prepared to leave, the manager stood by the entrance watching us in a way to try to intimidate us, then followed closely behind us as we exited. Again, I was with my elderly parents, no respect and again, savage low-class behavior. The situation could have been handled with courtesy, professionalism, and respect. Instead, we were made to feel embarrassed, unwelcome, and intimidated. I did research on this restaurant and found that a blind veteran and his service dog were attacked and there was a big lawsuit just 2 years prior. The door guy attacked and injured one of our veterans, blind, over a service dog policy is disturbing. I hope that whoever reads this, decides not to come to this establishment, there are several reviews of how rude the workers are and it's unacceptable that the owner allows ratchid behavior. Read all the negative comments, this place is terrible!!!

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.
