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!!!

Water view

Cool spot to sit outside and enjoy the water views. Lots of tables scattered in the sand for a nice beachy vibe. You order at the bar for food and drink. They will check ID's and are pretty strict about it so if you look young better have your ID or you're not getting In. Staff has been very friendly the few times we've been there. Food was quick and pretty good, bar food, chicken tenders, fries, burgers etc.. Great relaxing spot for a bite and a drink.

"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!

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.

Amazing spot right off the water! We just happened to go here on a whim after dinner one night and we were not disappointed! It has the perfect beach vibes even at night with all of the decor and tiki lights. Service was fast at the bar and the drinks were good! Definitely would come back here for a late night cap.

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.

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.

Bar and seating
Su H.

Great environment with two bars, outside seating area, next to the Intracoastal waterway. There is a stage for live music. There is also a food menu but we just went to have drinks. Would like to return on a weekend as I bet it's probably hopping then.

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 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.

She came back and told me they only had the whole fish available. I told her that is what I ordered. I didn't see any other hog fish on their menu.

If you want a quite evening inside don't get a high top table near the bar. Wait for a table on the other side or go outside. Everyone likes to stand around drinking and waiting for their table.

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 driven by this colorful establishment SO many times over the years, but somehow my husband and…read moreI had never actually gone inside. This Saturday afternoon, I was taking my 16-year-old nephew on a little restaurant-hopping adventure, where we're trying places I've never been before and tasting a few appetizers along the way, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to finally stop in. There's plenty of parking, and you definitely won't miss this place while driving by. I had been told it was kind of a biker bar, but it was pretty empty when we arrived, so we didn't really get to experience that side of it. When you walk in, there's SO much to look at--colorful signs, pirate and mermaid statues, decorations everywhere, and tons of seating options both inside and outside. We decided to sit outside near the giant tree under a covered table. It was definitely hot and humid that afternoon, though! When we first arrived, I went to the bar and asked if we could sit anywhere or if there was a hostess stand. I was told to just find anywhere we wanted to sit, so that's what we did. It wasn't very busy, although I wasn't really paying attention to how many employees were working that day. There was another table across from us, and when a waitress came over to help them, she looked at us and basically said, in a pretty snarky tone, "I guess I'll go get you menus too." She definitely did NOT seem like she was in a good mood. Thankfully, we ended up getting a different waitress, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was super friendly, helpful, and from New Jersey, so we had a nice little conversation with her. As for us, we were pretty simple. My nephew ordered a sweet tea, I grabbed a beer, and we shared some jalapeño poppers. We hung out for a while, enjoyed our drinks and snack, and then headed off to our next stop. We weren't difficult customers at all--we were literally just looking for a quick snack, a refreshing drink, and then onto the next place. Despite the slightly awkward start with the first waitress, I'd definitely come back. I'd like to experience the place when it's busier and really get a feel for the atmosphere because it definitely has a lot of personality!

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.
