    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Normally, once we cross the bridge, we just head straight down the road toward the beach and find somewhere to park from there. This place is a little closer to the bridge, so it's not somewhere I would normally walk to or randomly stop at. They do have their own parking lot, which is convenient. We were a little confused about where the entrance was at first. We ended up going around the back, where the boats were passing by, walking past a little tiki hut, and then heading up the stairs. Once we got upstairs, it was a fairly small space with a decent-sized bar. It definitely gave me more of a local hangout vibe than a touristy spot, which I actually liked. Our waitress was super nice, and we had a great little corner spot with some really nice views. The menu had a pretty good selection, but we were just looking for a small appetizer to share. We decided on the 10 wings, but couldn't decide which sauce to get. Thankfully, our waitress told us we could split them, so we did half Thai chili and half buffalo. She said they would toss each half in its own sauce, which sounded perfect. Unfortunately, when the wings came out, I could barely tell which ones were supposed to be Thai chili and which were buffalo. It honestly looked like they had run out of sauce and just used whatever tiny amount was left in the container. I have NEVER received wings with so little sauce before! Usually, when you get sauced wings, you can actually see the sauce coating them and maybe even a little bit of it dripping off. These were basically dry with a light glaze of sauce. We both had a side of ranch with our wings, but it just felt like it was overpowering the little sauce that was covered with the wings. I could've said something, but my nephew didn't want to make a big deal about it, so we just ate them. To be fair, the wings themselves were good, but why serve wings with the absolute bare minimum of sauce? Next time, I'd definitely ask for EXTRA sauce and probably get some on the side. I prefer my wings well coated--I want more than a tablespoon of sauce for 10 wings! Overall, I liked the atmosphere, our waitress was great, and the location had some really nice views. The wings just needed WAY more sauce!

    5 Tails Up (5 Stars, Swampy style)…read more If you're looking for that perfect Treasure Coast waterfront experience, On the Edge in Ft. Pierce delivers. 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.

He had it for a while, God only knows what data base I'm now part of, but hey, great reviews, let's go. The guard gave my license back as well as a parking permit. Asked about the restaurant, he said drive to the stop sign and turn left. There's a row of shops and a Sauders sign. Did get a tiny bit confusing...none of the storefronts was Sauders. There was a dingy looking alley opening...found them. Walking down this dingy alley (there were three old window a/c units running up high, I mean old, tired, dirty and all three are dripping water into buckets below them on the concrete). We get to a tired residential screen door and that is the entrance. We were greeted right away. Said two for dinner. The hostess asked if we had reservations...we said no. We asked to sit inside. This is not the restaurants fault, but the marina is under construction, there are no docks or boats outside the windows, just rebar and dirt, however the windows and screens were dirty. There are dive bars and old restaurants with charm, Sauders is neither. Inside it just looks very tired and extremely dated You know how Restaurant Impossible or Bar Rescue showes usually start, with John Tapper and Robert Irving having a lot to say. They would have a lot to say at Sauder's. Carolyn, our server, lived up to the reviews that mention her. She was prompt, knew all the specials and did a good job throughout our meal. We ordered some Calemari. The batter was falling off, so if you tried to pick up a piece, you basically had a piece of squid. The marinara sauce was hot and had a good flavor. We had the shrimp linguine Alfredo. There were plenty of shrimp. Tha pasta was spaghetti, not linguine, but cooked properly. Could have had a little more sauce but tasted OK. The meal came with a salad. Everything was fresh, cold and crisp. Carolyn informed us the thousand island was made at the restaurant and it was OK. Summary...the food was ok, the dining room was tired, oh yeah, the rest rooms were behind doors rusting under their paint in that dingy alley and my wife said the one she went into was not nice. I honestly don't know how you could give this a 4 or 5 rating. If I knew what we were going to experience, I'd never give my driver's license to that guard and we would find another of the many seafood places in town. Sorry Sauder's, you need to make an investment in your business.

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.
