    Loved Funky Cuda! This is a little place near the water and Derecktor dry docks. It's all outside seating, about 10-15 tables and a large bar top. They offer live music on some days of the week and it's a very casual, no frills vibe. Service was very friendly and fast. We got a variety of food, such as their signature Cuda Burger and the lobster roll. The Lobster roll was very fair priced at $19. It wasn't huge, it was just the right amount. I got mine cold, it was delicious!! We also did some a fries and Mac and cheese as a side. The Mac and cheese was really good! I loved the vibe here and on a nice summer night, this is a great place to be. Would love to come 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.

    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.

    The event wasnt what I expected, but I liked it anyway. We had the seafood boil and the conch fritters, both were good, as per Jen their margarita was good too.

    They had this writing on a wall in which I think we all need to take heed in

    I was in town visiting some friends and this place was recommended. What a cute place!!! Service was great and the food is YUMMYYYYYY!! Must get the Mozzarella stick Appetizer, hand made and you can tell I then had the Crab Cake Stuffed Portabella Appetizer as my entree, so scrumptious!!!!

    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 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 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 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!

I am not sure why but didn't realize it until I looked at my receipt. 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.

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.

    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.

Delicious authentic dishes made with fresh pastas and sauces. We had some great cocktails to start along with Carpaccio de Manza. So delicious and a great start. My husband loves Spaghetti Carbonara so his was an easy choice. I studied the menu and finally decided on Cacio de Pepe. I had heard of this dish before, but never saw it on a menu. It is said to be a must in visiting Italy. Well fortunately I didn't have to go far to enjoy this simple, but incredibly beautiful dish. Perfection is all I can say. My husband's spaghetti and mine looked much the same on the plate, but were world's apart in flavor. Both were just amazing. We got there early, so it was pretty quiet. Gradually diners came in, but the relaxed atmosphere with proper mood music was welcoming to enjoy our meal. Sofia our waitress was just so lovely and met every need. Highly recommend this place. Attention to detail from start to finish which ended up being a wonderful Tiramisu and café lattes. We will be back as many there were obviously regulars and treated like family.

Our group of four started with what they do best: craft beer. With around 20 beers on tap, there was no shortage of choices, and they even offer complimentary tastes if you're on the fence. The Summer Shandy was crisp and refreshing, while the Toasted Lager was smooth, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink. We sampled more than a few (ahem)... purely in the interest of scientific research, of course. Fortunately, there are still plenty left to try, so another visit is clearly required. The food was every bit as impressive. The Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze and shaved Parmesan were outstanding. Even people who normally pass on Brussels sprouts would have a hard time leaving these alone. Personally, I like them a little crispier, but these were great. The Black & Bleu double smashburger was absolutely dynamite. Two perfectly seared patties, plenty of blue cheese, crispy bacon, and cooked exactly the way a great smashburger should be. My own bearded brother ordered the shrimp po' boy, and it was packed with large, perfectly cooked shrimp. We grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, just a stone's throw from New Orleans, where shrimp po' boys are practically a religion. This one passes the test. The bread was right, the shrimp were plentiful, and every bite reminded us of home. The flounder fish and chips deserves its own mention. The fish was flaky and moist, and the breading actually stayed attached to the fish instead of sliding off with the first bite, which anyone who appreciates good fried seafood knows is the mark of a properly prepared fillet. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Great beer selection. Excellent food. Friendly service. Relaxed atmosphere. If you're anywhere near Fort Pierce and enjoy quality craft beer paired with food that easily exceeds typical pub fare, Bearded Brothers should be on your list. We'll be back... partly to work our way through the remaining taps, and partly because we're still thinking about that shrimp po' boy. Highly recommended.
