After a nice ride down A1A, I arrived in Fort Pierce shortly after 11am and decided to get a bite to eat. I found this place via Yelp and here's my honest opinion. 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. read more

My family and I visited Square Grouper on Saturday, May 2, in the afternoon, around 1:30-2:00 PM. I was 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!!! read more

I came here with a small group on a Sunday evening. Very big venue, lots of seating throughout. We were helped right away, wasn't a busy night for them and people were sprinkled around. Our group enjoyed each other, drinks and caught the beautiful sunset over the water. Will be back to experience it on a busier night to get the full experience. Lots of reviews did point this out and the signs were right at the entrance - no kids, no pets etc. And they did check my ID (it's been a while since thats happened). read more

Great food, perfect live misic, very romantic settings. Good service. Will be back for a dance night

6pm on a Sunday night, and the front person standing over the steps watched us struggle looking for a ramp only to tell us when we pulled a u-turn back to him "no kids allowed" Well double whammyyyyyy me. Could have saved us the time by saying that before we walked around like idiots. Matter of fact, put it in your yelp guide or website. Guest I'll have to try it when I have a babysitter. read more

"Another Saturday Nignt and I ain't got nobody, I got some money cause I just got paid," in the words of Cat Stevens...Fun spot on the water for live music, cocktails and bar food! Nicole was our bartender and she did me right by going out of her way to make me a margarita from scratch since they only had mix! She used fresh lime, lemon & orange! Nicole also recommended the grilled chicken sandwich w/fries! 5/5 This open venue on the water was huge...plenty of tables and seats at the bar. The band started at 8:00pm and played until 11:00pm with a few breaks in between. There is a dance area & 2 bars. We danced away the night! Everyone here was very nice. Plenty of parking in the lot. Security at the entrance to check ID's. *21+ only *Bar & bar food *Check website for live music schedule *Great for large groups *Outside *Police close by so do not drink & drive! read more

Been coming to the grouper for the last 3 months consistently EVERY weekend and I truly love this spot. Great atmosphere, laid back but lively with a beautiful view of the water and plenty of space with 2 bars and plenty of seating under pretty lights. I really appreciate how during cold/wind/rain they have measures to make being outside more comfortable. All the drinks I've ordered have been made better than I can imagine regardless of the bartender! Food is quite tasty too, I've had the nachos, tenders and sliders and all have been flavorful. The bartenders are quick, friendly and a vibe, quite literally all of them care about their customers, especially if you become a regular . And personally after visiting the Jupiter location, I much much prefer this location by far! And lastly I appreciate the professionalism of the staff here starting with the door staff that make you feel safe and I love that it's a 21+ spot. read more

I was invited to this restaurant , I was totally shocked when I walked in! For the first time since I started critiquing local restaurants on yelp I have to be honest, I was surprised, really surprised! They didn't have any waiters taking orders, instead you had to use your smart phone and aim for the instant gram hashtag in order for you to look at the menu and then call over the bartenders to place your food order,the bartender would place your order and then give you a pager so when you food order was ready it would buzz. Then you would have to get up from the bar or table to get your food! No plates just plastic bread baskets with parchment paper. I ordered the Cuban style sandwich with onion rings. ( I guess their version) of a Cuban! Different flavors of meat and bread please understand me,the food came out hot and fresh the bartender was professional and pleasant and knew the menu well. The audience was very loud and I couldn't hear myself think. I strongly feel this is a type of restaurant that only locals enjoy and love! The bathrooms were fine ! I will try this restaurant again in the next few months during the day ! With the economy the way it is , we need to support our local restaurants and be open minded! The lighting was very low so I didn't take any pictures of anything! I will next visit. read more

Food was extremely mid only reason to go is to get drinks I guess. View is pretty cool read more

Fun relaxed atmosphere. Good drinks at fair price. Great after the beach hangout! Go visit if you like to hang out with happy middle aged people in a happy state of mind! read more

This is the PERFECT beach bar in Fort Pierce. Similarly to the sister bar in Jupiter, this one is right off the river that leads to the ocean and has several tables and chairs under swaying palm trees and sunshine. There are two main bars and we sat at the smaller bar and waited for the live entertainment to start. The bartender was extremely nice and attentive and she seemed really busy as she was the only one in that area and it kept getting busier as 4pm turned into 5pm. We asked to change a channel and she was very nice about that. I bought the musician a drink and she even walked over to the other bar to see what he would like. The musician also bought me a drink in return! Just a super fun place. Everyone is in a great mood here and even thought it was partly cloudy, it was still so much fun to be here. We ordered Nachos which were pretty basic but very filling for the price. It's your typical bar food and this place is mostly known for metic and drinks. They do check ID, not sure when that starts in the day but just be prepared for that. read more

The square Grouper. Interesting place. You are literally the waitress. You have to order your own food and drinks and bring them back to the table. Outside seats by the ocean canal. We had a hotdog with fries and chili nachos and chicken wings. Great place to walk around and meet new people. Definitely worth the the trip. Be back for sure. Prices very reasonable. Amenities very clean. read more

The staff was super friendly. Got our drinks immediately. Food came out not too long after. We got an SG hot dog and paradise burger and both came with fries and were great. Staff kept checking in on us and making sure if we needed anything which was awesome. They have live music every day or weekend? Don't remember but that's a great plus. Lots of outdoor seating, great music, and all around great vibes. Definitely recommended this as a hang out spot for food or drinks or both!! read more

Very much obvious that it's designed as the Jupiter Location is. Enjoy both locations very much.

Great place to chill and hangout with your friends! Bartenders are fire and the food is good

Ordered the Mahi-Mahi sandwich. It was awful. Picked up the sandwich and cheese was just dripping out (tasted like Velveeta), There was so much cheese you could not taste the blackened dolphin The beer (Shinner) taste was off. I know as this is my beer of choice in Texas. The staff bartenders and bar location were the only redeeming qualities there else it would have been a 1 star rating read more

An amazing view with perfect weather. Super chill atmosphere with no kids running around. The prices are great and service is excellent. read more

I have been regularly visiting the Square Grouper Tiki Bar in Fort Pierce for 3 years. From the door 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. read more

Came for the music and hoped for some good seafood left with a clear picture of what to order and what not to order. So you walk up and order with the bartender you get a buzzer and wait for your order. They were nice enough. Hands-down, the mahi sandwich is the thing to get, ( I ordered it without any cheese) it was so delicious! and they give you a good portion of fries with it, if that's your thing you'll love it. Be prepared if you go during the hot and muggy time, the flies were going crazy. Ordered the coconut shrimp and that was also really good but the conch fritters were disappointing, the conch was very chewy and not tasty. My friend ordered the chubby Cuban sandwich she loved it. Prices were reasonable. The best part was the live band such a blast. One of the most fun places to go if you're in the Jupiter inlet/Vero Beach area. And the views, especially the sunset was spectacular. read more

We had a friend visiting and decided to go there for drinks and a snack before dinner. The margaritas were so good!! And we really liked the chips and salsa!! The salsa is really good!

Good vibes. Good music. Very country. I've always really enjoyed this bar but we went after my friend's wedding (pictured) and I wanted to buy a round of shots for the group but the bar tender ignored me until a guy walked up next to me and she immediately approached him and when he pointed out that I had already been waiting she rolled her eyes and goes "what do you want?" So overall a fun vibe but could've done without the rude bartender. read more

Drove through the keys looking for a perfect waterfront spot for a fresh fish sandwich. We hit the Square Grouper. Everything was wonderful from the hostess to the waitstaff, but particularly the food. The conch app was excellent - not your typical over breaded conch fritter. Fresh and flavorful. The catch of that day sandwich was perfect-perfect size and fresh toppings. read more

Such a fun and relaxed atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. You order food and drink at the bar. They give you a buzzer so you know when to pick up your food. I never waited in line to place my Order. The music is at a level you can still have a conversation. The live musician okayed 45 min sets with a 15 min break. He was talented. They have a stage area. You have a view of the boats going through the inlet. There are two bars you can sit at. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. No children under 21 allowed. No pets allowed. We parked right by the door for free. The reason for a star deduction is for not having servers at the table. read more

Had a great time watching football at the Square Grouper in Ft. Pierce. Got to see our favorite bartender, Douglas before shift change and had great service from Rachael and Brent. Great menu with no surcharges and the view of the river and ocean with the white sand outside dining area was cool ! Check out their website. They have service dogs only policy, over 21 age so no kids and men at the door to keep the place safe and secure and the parking lot is for Square Grouper Patrons only tho in the past I have observed Snowbirds with fishing poles slipping past occasionally during peak season but all in all a great place on the roundabout at the Fort Pierce Jetty. Also met a new employee, Olivia who invited us there while at another location and I had another bartender a couple of years ago who gave us a personal invite and we've been regular customers there ever since. Now that's hospitality!! Great food too, reasonably priced with plenty of options and they just started the phone scan menu program but Brent had a "cheat sheet" for a lady who could not operate the scan because she had no app which was great service!! Well done read more

I'll start by saying I've been to the Square Grouper probably over 100 times and always had a good experience. The views are the best on the island and the drink and food prices are reasonable. But tonight we tried to go around 5pm just to grab a few beers and relax. Unfortunately right before we got to the bar a friend of the bartender got to the bar first and proceeded to share her story about getting let go as a nurse for refusing to be vaccinated. This got both bartenders attention and they engaged in a 5 minute political tirade about how the vaccine doesn't work and how the governor will change everything so nobody can enforce the mandates. The whole time I just tried to get one of their attentions but they were far more interested in continuing on with their theories as to the motivates of the administration for putting the mandates in effect. The whole conversation was. We ended up leaving and just heading down to On The Edge which has great views as well. We will continue to go because we love the place but honestly those types of political conversations from the staff have no place in a bar/restaurant atmosphere; especially when the statistics don't lie and the vaccines do in fact work. read more

We were walking around the area and enjoying the beautiful weather and decided to stop in for some drinks and some food. We snagged a table near the edge overlooking the water. The view was top notch and loved being able to see the boats go by. You have to walk up to the bar to order which isn't bad as they had quite a few bartenders there to help. I ordered a Landshark while my girlfriend ordered the Banana Cream Pie mixed drink and we ordered the fish dip to share which was fantastic and came with jalapeños and hot sauce on the side. It was a little bit hot out at the time and we didn't really see any entrees that we couldn't live without so just got the app and one round before cashing out. Overall, our experience was pretty solid with a fantastic view. We will definitely be back again. read more
