    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!!!

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 am very thankful for this bar. You can't go wrong with an outdoor bar that has live music, great…read moredrink prices and chairs that are swings. 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.

    Small seafood restaurant with a big crowd inside and out…read more And it is no wonder. The food, service, and comfortable tables speak for themselves. 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.

    I've been here a few times, and for whatever reason, every time we put the address into our…read morenavigation system, it takes us somewhere other than the restaurant. 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.

    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!
