Spicy Margarita
Vanessa A.

Went for the first time last week for happy hour aka Tappy Hour and was not disappointed. The place is pretty dim lit so that takes a bit to get used to, but the food and drinks make you forget that. Will definitely be back. Our server was great and very attentive. Food came out quick and hot. The spicy margarita is delicious, along with the pork belly bao buns, Caribbean Pinchos, Crab dip, Octopus, Curry Lamb Chops and Hanger Steak were

Another great addition to downtown fort pierce! Our server was very upbeat and nice. It's a low lit place with fairly loud music, but we could still hear each other at our table. Each table has a lamp so you can easily read the menu. We enjoyed our happy hour drinks and the mini charcuterie board was a good size for 4 of us to get a quick snack in.

Great addition to downtown Firt Pierce. Great prices on wines by the glass. Cocktails might be a little on the weak side. We shared sticky ribs, patatas bravas, bacon wrapped dates, crispy pork belly bao buns and Mexican street corn and really loved all of them. The atmosphere was upscale and service attentive. What a lovely evening!

Food and service was amazing! Easter Sunday, I was solo. Hungry started with the polenta, fresh slight crunchy exterior and hot creamy inside, not too much sauce it was wonderful! Then I ordered the lamb! Party in your mouth, flavorful wood grilled and tender! No knife needed, it was like lamb lollipops! I can't wait to go back!

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!!!

So the Tipsy Tiki's a little like cheers on weekdays and brings some amazing positive vibes with…read moregreat bands every weekend! 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!

This was my first time visiting this location and it will be my last. As soon I got there, I…read moreapproached the bar around 4:15 pm it was Mothers day and the African Amecan bartender with the white goat beard was very unprofessional, racist towards the HISPANIC community. He was unwilling to serve us. I ask him if they had piña coladas and he just looked at me straight in the eyes and this were his exact words: "YES WE DO, BUT I DONT REALLY FEEL LIKE MAKING THEM RIGHT NOW! You guys can go to the food trucks out side and buy them"I could not believe he just had the audacity to say such a thing and the worst part he said this in front of my family and customers at the bar. The place was full of people since it was MOTHERS DAY . I felt discriminated and humiliated just because of my race. I really wanted to say something to him right away but I was so shocked that I couldn't even say a word back to him, so I just walked away with my family and left.

Even with GPS not the easiest place to find but hint, it's in the Boat Launch parking lot…read more Nicest and most cheerful group of servers in memory. Our server Jenn particularly nice and very helpful. Made meal a lot of fun. Loved the food. In truth, we filled up completely off the appetizer menu. Recommended Spinach Dip even better than advertised with fresh chips. Fried Calamari as good as any. Bangin' Shrimp just outstanding with perfect amount of breading and great sauce Tuna Poke Bowl was a gorgeous and delicious meal by itself. Finished off with delicious Key Lime Pie as required by law in Florida. Lots of outdoor seating and fun divey vibe. And I'm sure when we go back soon the entrees will be awesome. They looked wonderful.

I think this is my 4th review of one of my favorite seafood restaurants even after 12 years. And…read moreit still is. I only write this to offer suggestions as to how I think the lobster club can be made even better than it is. I had it today. Plenty of lobster. My suggestion is to change the roll to more of a potato-type roll. The brioche roll cracks apart and doesn't hold up. I always have to eat the sandwich with a knife and fork. Also, I wind up pulling out the unripened tomato slices...they are unappealing and have no taste. You cannot go wrong with smaller Compari tomatoes as they are always ripe and juicy. Just 2 cents from a frequent flyer at 12A. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys fresh seafood.
