Ok food here, it seems like a lunch crowd type of place as there wasn't many options left later in the day. The ribs and and green beans were good, the shrimp wasn't fresh in my opinion. read more

I highly recommend the ribs and burnt ends (fridays only). They are so good!! Employees are very kind. I'll definitely be going back!

You don't go for the ambiance, you go for the great food! Fed an army with some of the BEST BBQ I have found in the area. It is very out of the way, but well worth the drive. The customers and employees were all welcoming and very fiendly. Chicken gizzards are the best in the area, perfectly cooked. Smoked chicken and beef ribs had great smoke flavor. Next time, I plan to try the sides. read more

Carter's Grocery - Chicken gizzards, smoked chicken, and beef ribs. - Grocery Near Me - Fort Pierce, Florida

We came here because we were hungry! My friend took me here because we have never eaten here before. When you first pull up the place looks like a hole in the wall out in the middle of nowhere and hope we don't get kidnapped. When you walked in it is a unique experience. They have guns in the front counter, magazines on the side for your guns, car oil down the aisle and the bbq restaurant in the back. Everything looked good. We ended up getting three boxes of food. My order consisted of bbq ribs, bbq chicken beans and scallop potatoes. The verdict is: ribs good. No sauce, moist and smoked. The chicken also very good. Scallop potatoes I could of done with out and the beans were also very good. I forgot to take a pic of my food because I was a hungry animal. I'd go back for sure! read more

We were referred by a friend. This place is a little off the beaten path but worth a visit. It reminds me of a gas station convenience store, gun shop and food truck rolled into one. Ribs are smoked to perfection. Different Latin lunch options were also good. Fried chicken strip, greens, steak fries. Everything we tried was super tasty We will definitely stop in again the next time we are in the area. We did not opt to eat inside but took our meal to go. read more

The absolute worst fried chicken I have ever had. No flavor. 1000x overcooked. I couldn't chew it because it was so dry and overcooked. Baked beans were equally as bad. I don't understand the hype. read more

This place is AMAZING! Best fried chicken and smoked ribs i have ever had! Ive been several times now and they have great food! The fried shrimp! Wow! The cheeseburgers, OMG! The banana pudding!!!

Gas station, convenience store and restaurant - I was happy with the fact that I came across Carter's Grocery when I did as I was on fumes driving back to Vero Beach from Sebring, Florida. Gas was a tad bit higher than normal - $2.49/9 a gallon for regular but when you're "on walk" you don't complain much. I wasn't that hungry but since everyone else seemed to be eating, I ordered the home cooked fried chicken plate along with Cowboy caviar - field peas, black beans, corn and fresh veggie dip - with chips and crackers. Huge portions and great taste. Dinner roll on the side. I took it "to go" and ate it on the way home. No time to dine at the restaurant when traveling. Restrooms were outside toward the back. They weren't anything to write home about, but they served the primary - and number 1 - purpose. Friendly staff and a "local" flare. 4 stars to Carter's Grocery, west of Fort Pierce, Florida. /s/ William E. Lewis Jr., Fort Lauderdale, Florida. read more

Got lunch to go Fried Chicken yummy, Collards too many stems. cheesy potatoes delish. Tacos great, killer fried mushrooms.

I thought they were raised better but I guess they saw food and their manners went to hell. read more

Grab your cowboy hat and slap on your spurs and you'll be right at home here. Just a bunch of local good ol' boys. Sit on stools at counters to eat. Gas station, convenience store and restaurant. Hubby got lunch special...........2 large friend pork chops, rice and tomato gravy, black eyed peas, and cornbread for $6.75. An oasis for the working f Off the beaten path. If you want to experience this beautiful, down to earth part of old Florida this is the place. Friendly folks catchin' up on what's what over a good meal. If you are bothered by deer heads hanging on the wall, camo, and cowboys don't go here. If you like ribs, fried chicken, gizzards, fried okra, collard, and such this is your place. read more

I had fried chicken gizzards (all the locals where eating them). They where great.

Unbelievably huge portions of Southern comfort food, with excellent flavor, and incredibly low prices. I had the fried chicken plate for lunch, which cost $4.95. It included a chicken breast which was really about half a chicken, two heaping sides (I chose black-eyed peas and sautéed squash, but there were many choices), and a dinner roll. I ate as much as I could and still have at least one full meal if not two for leftovers. My only complaint is that they were out of catfish, cheese grits and greens. Conveniently, you can buy groceries, guns, ammo, knives, liquor, over-the-counter drugs, wine, and propane at the same location. read more

This place is AWESOME!!!! The first time I went there, I came in hungry, left stuffed! I had a fried chicken breast (enormous I might add) green beans and french fries with a drink for under $7.00. I also bought a rib to sample it, WOW!! They sale guns and ammo too! I have since been back on a sunday and had the "10oz 100% Angus Cheese Burger." That was THE BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER EATEN! They don't do it every sunday, but when they do, am told they sale out! I also discovered that this little gem CATERS! I can't wait to have my next event! read more
