    Burgers are money. Peanut butter bacon was perfect. Plain cheeseburger was fantastic to. Fish is all fresh. Decent beer selection. Outdoor vibe is beachy and biker mixed with bingo. Close to the water with a hint of saltwater in the air. Staff is amazing, super helpful and laid back. Definitely coming back.

    Since we were in the Fort Pierce vicinity, we decided to try a different restaurant, and The Funky Cuda came up! It is indeed a funky joint, with colorful chairs, outdoor dining and dollar bills on the walls. A stage for game nights and performances. The waitress was very friendly and sweet. While there's quite a few raves about the food; let's just say the atmosphere makes the difference. We had the Wings at $1 each. It was fried crispy and "burn your mouth hot". The Wings needed some sauce and flavorings. The Pimento Burger was cheesy to the bite. The Tuna Poke Bowl was substantial with the rice, protein and vegetables. The sauce tasted like Teriyaki. It was an interesting experience.

    First time at The Funky Cuda, and I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. This place feels like someone took a beach shack, a road trip, and a dive bar, shook it all up, and dropped it in Fort Pierce. License plates on the walls, rainbow bar stools, good music, cold beer -- the vibe just works. Now to the important part: the food. I went straight for the Pimento Burger, and it did not disappoint. The patty came out juicy, the bun stamped with their logo like a seal of approval, and that pimento cheese? Absolute lava flow of creamy, tangy goodness. Messy in the best way. I had to fight the urge to just scoop it up with fries (which, by the way, were thick, golden, and crispy enough to pull double duty as cheese shovels). The beer was ice cold and exactly what you want to cut through a cheesy burger; simple, no frills, just right. Bottom line: Funky Cuda is laid-back, fun, and serves food that doesn't just look good but hits. I'll be back, probably to see if the rest of the burger lineup can top that pimento beast.

    Cool atmosphere with an updated design since we were there last. Their Smash Burger for $6.99 was great and a really good value. The prices for food and drink are average and service was good. Enjoyed talking with the bartender Oz as he really took pride in the operation. We will definitely be going back.

    Had a great visit at Funky Cuda and our bartender Bethany was tremendous. Offer a menu loaded with great food options and told us about the many nightly options in entertainment as well as plenty of souvenir options displayed outside. This is a cozy corner spot downtown and the music playing in the outdoor bar area was great. Thank you Bethany for a great visit!! I've included a couple of pics where you can see the great food options and visit Bethany to hear about those nightly entertainment options.

    This place is a great find! The bartender, Oz, is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food is excellent! They often have live music. I highly recommend the lobster roll (I chose to have it warm), the grilled cheese, and the steak night is amazing! They also have a good selection of beers.

    This is a fun new addition to the Fort Pierce dining scene! A very casual place with good food and good prices! Happy hour all day on Monday. Music every day. Good service and sitting outside in the Florida sun! $1 wings today. Smash burger was excellent and crab cakes full of crab! Fun spot!

    This place is all outdoor sitting. Has live music. The restrooms were clean and had air conditioning. The food was above my expectations. We ordered The Crab cake, which in my opinion was a bit pricey...$16 for one, fried mozzarella medallions, the outside was nice and crunchy but the inside cheese lacked flavor, and the fried broccoli and cheese bites, these were delicious. They had a nice crunchy outside and the filling was full of flavor and steamy. Our main meal included, portabella bowl, A.B. T. Grilled cheese, Cuda Burger with fries, Lobster Roll with a side order of beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their meal and said it was all fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Unfortunately, we were enjoying it all, we didn't capture any pictures. To top it off, the staff was knowledgeable of the menu, kind, and friendly. I would definitely keep this place in mind for our future visits.

    Great service and the smash burgers were delicious! The ambiance was great and loved that the live music wasn't blaring but at a comfortable level. Highly recommend!!

    Live music Brad Brock!

    Came here on a Monday around 2ish. They had live music and open seating. The place its self is super cool looking with all the colorful painting and signs. Service was great we were served right away. They had a great happy hour menu plus a Mardi Gras menu aswell! Food was delicious just what we wanted and cheap! FYI fries are gluten free and smash burgers with no bun are a great gf alternative!

    What a find! A great restaurant in an amazing location in Fort Pierce. We searched Yelp, which led…read moreus to the Island Beach Bar and Restaurant. It's adjacent to the beach. With the beach erosion, you had to walk around to reach the beach. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day. There are several long picnic tables you can sit at, so we grabbed one. The food was really good. My son had the burger - he said it was probably the best burger he has ever had!! I had one of their lunch specials: grilled cheese and bacon - it was great. Of the 8 of us, each had something different, and there were no complaints. Service was excellent. Very attentive and kind throughout our visit. We did tend to stay longer than usual as the drinks were flowing. Thankfully, we were there during the week, so it wasn't crowded. I highly recommend this restaurant. I am so glad we found it and will certainly be back when I am back for a visit.

    Ambiance: Beachfront restaurant (well, sort of beachfront as…read morea Beach in this area is closed off for a major rebuilding process) it's your typical surfer, beachcomber, swimmer type restaurant that you'll find in most oceanfront areas. Weatherford wood walls, outside tables under an awning. Inside tables are also available, although, why anyone would choose an inside table when you have a front row seat to the ocean is beyond me. Interestingly,, they have a few swing tables that you can rock back-and-forth while you eat. Not sure how many people will choose those "moving'" tables but, they're an interesting idea nonetheless. Service: I was provided with my choice of table. (I chose the swinging tables (I just had to try The experience of swinging while eating - which was actually pretty pleasant).I was seated immediately upon my arrival. My server whose name was Cynthia whose name tag said Helga (don't ask) served me quickly and with a smile. She came by several times to check on my needs but was never an overpowering presence. Couldn't ask for anything more with a server. Be warned, (which my server by the way did warn me about.), They charge an automatic 18% gratuity on the bill. Not a problem in my case as a service was excellent. The food: I ordered the mushroom and brie omelette. It came with a side of potatoes and I requested a biscuit. The was your typical omelette the plus being the tomatoes were super fresh but could've had more brie. If potatoes were combined with peppers and onions and we're nice and crispy of friends just the way they should be). Unfortunately they were out of biscuits (even though they have a biscuits and gravy dish). How you run out of SKU Ott's on a Saturday morning is beyond me. My tea was your standard black tea (they did not have steamed milk) served with honey. Interestingly, they didn't have a decent size cup so I was provided with 2 cups and two teabags. The bottom line: As with all my reviews, my (Customer so what) would I return? This restaurant is not in my top 10 but, if the beach was reopened and I wanted an oceanfront dining experience this could be a pretty good place to visit. The service was excellent. The food pretty good and the atmosphere great.

The FOH staff is sweet - I couldn't decide between two beers and the young lady kindly offered a taste of them. I went with a Pumpking beer and it was fall and festive! It's a big open space inside, with a nice sized beer bar. You go up to the counter area to put in your food orders. We got a philly and one of their signature burgers and asked that it come with no onions. Here's where the issue begins... our food was delivered to the wrong table, and those people started eating and realized it was not their correct order. The staff said they had given our order to the wrong table and apologized. When our food came out after the issue, my burger was topped with raw onions. I went back up to the food ordering area and asked for a new top bun/lettuce because waiting for our food to be made for the 3rd time wasn't in our time budget (we had somewhere to go after this!). The lady at the bar checked her computer to make sure "no onions" was on the order - and she confirmed that it was ordered correctly before she went to get me a new top bun/lettuce piece. I tried to eat the burger to the best of my ability despite the raw onion taste lingering. No apology for making it incorrectly (after the first order was given to the wrong table!), just a crappy $18 burger experience. It's doubtful we'd return based on this experience.
