Came to Thirsty Turtle on a Sunday, it wasn't too busy but was glad they closed late as everything around town closes early. We sat at the bar and Quez was our server/bar tender. He was amazing. Very attentive and helpful. Made the best drinks. I like that there's a restaurant part to it and a bar area with seating as well. The place was clean. The owners are on site and working the kitchen as well. Loved the whole vibe. The food was very good as well. And the prices were reasonable. Definitely can't wait to come back read more

Nice, easy spot for good food at Thirsty Turtle! They're known for their wings and offer mild, medium, and hot sauces. You can also get the sauces on their chicken sandwich or tenders if you prefer. I ordered the chicken wrap with the medium sauce, and it was really yummy! The fries were nice and crispy, too. The service was friendly, and they have a good beer selection. There are plenty of open tables, two bars to sit at, and tons of TVs to watch the games. It's a great laid-back spot to grab food and catch a game! read more

We went on Labor day and sat by the second bar that has large windows where you can see the outside... all the way past the first half of the restaurant. Anyways, it was amazing! More importantly the bartender working that night provided the best service I've ever had at any thirsty turtle location by far! The soup was great as usual, scampi was great with massive shrimp lol, and my friend said her wings were amazing. read more

First time and the last time I will ever come here . I will never recommend this place . I arrived at 5:56 and I decided to leave at 6:45 because i still haven't gotten my appetizer . By the time I got my food I would have gotten my appetizer with it and that's not how we ordered it . It shouldn't take more than 1 hour to make a spinach and artichoke dip with chips . Very bad service . read more

I've really enjoyed the changes that have been made in the past couple of weeks. The new staff are all really friendly! They also have new fries which are delicious. I highly recommend the Mahi sandwich and the wings! read more

Food was excellent! Drinks were delicious! Service was amazing! Keegan took great care of our group. He is professional, engaging, answering questions and making us laugh while taking great care of us! First visit and will definitely revisit! read more

We had dinner here with family. They had chosen the location. We sat at the back bar area as the front was quite busy and also nosy -- with the live music. Although it's mainly a seafood place, most of us had their burgers. They were pretty good -- the best of the lot was the black and blue -- with blue cheese and bacon. I'd switched from fries to red bliss potatoes which were a bit bland -- just plain boiled potatoes. A bit of butter helped, but not much. The parking was challenging, but we did find a street side place out front. This is a busy area with many restaurants and shops. Inside, it's a casual spot. So actually, it was good for the group who had just come from a baseball game and were quite dressed down. We had good and friendly service. I will say that the bar drinks -- like the margarita were awful -- but the bottled drinks were fine. I'm glad we came to try them, but it's not a place that my husband and I would run back to -- if not with family including kids. read more

On Christmas Eve, they said on the phone they close at 7pm when I called around 545 showed up around 615. They said they can't see us because the kitchen is backed up told me we aren't taking any orders anymore, even though they're not closed for another 45 minutes, showed up with my family and my two year and nine day old son normal tradition since he was born !!!! They refused to seat me in the front so I walked to the bartender in the back. She sat us and told us we just need to order soon because they're gonna close in a little while then all of a sudden they told us nope we can't order again and kicked us out and as we walked out the front we saw three tables That just got there and they were just ordering at the time we were walking out . as I walked by their tables with the same waitress that said she can't service us and we had to leave. I was like sorry they're closed. You can't get any more food from the kitchen right now. The waitress said from me!!! She was like you need to leave now and stop harassing our customers!!! Honestly I was getting my head like what the fuck!!! We called ahead of time and they said they're open until seven. We were like perfect. We will see you soon! Since there is Christmas Eve, there is nowhere else to go eat. We literally just had to go home and they had to ruin our night' This place needs new management and new waitress because they obviously don't know what they're doing considering this is my third year, showing up at the same time and I called ahead this time!!! This place is trash definitely never showing up to this place again! read more

Thirsty Turtle Seagrill - Third year tradition no hundred dollar 100$ tip this year on Christmas Eve!!!!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fort Pierce, Florida

Place under new management and they're amazing, staff is great and food was perfect !

just getting around to this but i came in here a couple weeks ago with some friends, ordered a burger, mind you the server was very inattentive, never came to check on us after we got our food which took forever (the restaurant was pretty empty) and after a few bites of my burger i look because something didn't taste right and sure enough... it was raw. quite literally on the grill for maybe two minutes. i told my server to look at the mooing plate of cow meat on the corner of the table that was staring back. now of course my appetite was completely ruined, but all she did was take it off the bill. no apology, no nothing just took it off and handed us the bill. i've heard plenty of bad things about this place from many people and now ive experienced it first hand and will never come here again. read more

Not only was food and service terrific...we thank Thirsty Turtle for quick response when a friend was choking...the server Rose was exceptional! Thank you. read more

Friday night at 6:00 and only 4 tables and 12 people. We were seated promptly but it went down hill from there. Sat at table for 10 min with no server. Had to go to bar to ask for drinks. 5 min later we get a server and order. Food came 15 min later. Half was cold half was hot. Fried oysters were cold with no sauce. Scallops were hot Server never came back so I walked behind server station to get hot sauce. Server finally came and ask we needed anything. Not sure why this server was having issues as there were at least 2 additional servers behind the bar read more

Food was excellent, quick service. Wings, Soup, Drinks, Mahi well prepared: 5 stars ++ Server was excellent & friendly 5 Stars. Atmosphere at mid day was laid back and to my liking. So far so good until: There are now "credit card fees" that new management charges and it appears to be a percentage of your bill before tip. I always use an airline card for dining, as I earn travel rewards by doing so. The premise of charging a % before tip to use a card is absurd, and it's more than they pay the CC company for running my card once. Their menu & "market" prices have also increased. As a legacy customer of over a decade having dined here over 50+ times the new manager refused to take the CC fee off my bill as a one-time courtesy. "You don't have to come back here if you don't want to" was what was said by the manager on duty. I paid the fee and will not return. read more

Meh American / Seafood Cal it 1.5 stars Hit the Turtle up before a recent show over at the Sunrise Theater and it was just a complete "meh" kind of meal. Hostess got us seated and the waitress got us going with drinks and menus - so far, so good. Drinks came out quick and then things slowed down dramatically. Waitress finally came back around - not that she was missing the entire time, it was just that she worked one table at a time and never looked up. In other words, she went to a table, took whatever order, then marched directly back to her station. Wash, rinse, repeat. She finally got back to us and we ordered food: nothing too obscure. Fish & chips and a salad with a fish dip app. Gone again for 20 mins. Food comes out - no app in sight. Who cares, we have to be elsewhere. Fish & chips was just terrible. Turns out you get two sides with fish & chips... so if you do not choose "chips" you get fish and two sides. Seems a bit odd considering "chips" is part of the dish. In any case, coleslaw was flavorless. Fries were decent and of the two pieces of fish that came out, one was good and the other was like a reheated pile of rubber. It literally looked like it was recycled from another dinner. Salad turned out a bit better to be fair. Finally flagged down waitress, got check and yup: fish dip is on the check. I explained that it never came out - she had no clue. She did fix the check and we got on our way. With all the different dining options in Fort Pierce lately, there really is no particular reason to hit the Thirsty Turtle. Doubt we would return. Parking on the street or town lots. read more

I was in a group of 20 for lunch today and we all had a good time. Our server was unbelievable and on top of the orders and the drinks. I did ask her name, but I'm sorry to say I can't remember it. Names are tricky, but so important. She was wonderful. I ordered the Mexican salad which looked so unappetizing due to the cook smashing up tortilla chips and spreading them around the edge of the dish. You know, the dregs at the bottom of the bag. I would seriously recommend tortilla strips garnishing the salad. The salad itself was good and I'm thinking roasted corn kernels would be a great addition. Sadly at the bottom of the salad was a huge piece of the end of the head of lettuce! Would I go back yes, but it won't be for a while. I should've taken a picture. Ah well. read more

The menu options, atmosphere, prices & location were all what one should expect. My freind and I both agreed the food was good. Would recommend. Parking was a problem. Busy area not enough spots. Back lot was even full. read more

We were recommended this place from an uber driver in Tallahassee. And it didn't disappoint. The wings were amazing and Burger too. I recommend this one too so dont miss this one when in town read more

Can't really remember what I ordered but my boyfriend had fish, as he always orders when available. My draft beer was good. The bar view is the kitchen food pickup area. So ambiance is not anything memorable. read more

First time there. Lots of big screens to watch sports. Menu has lots of variety. Chicken wings were very good. I had fried clams with bacon jalapeño Mac and cheese(excellent )and coleslaw. Portions were very decent. Both sides were tastey. Angus burger was also good with good French fries. Haddock sandwich was very good. Waitress was very nice Would definitely go there again read more

Great atmosphere, awesome booths and classy bar. The food is great and the service is extra friendly. Really enjoyed myself here. Would recommend. read more

I think it was like 10$ for three minuscule tacos here and they fucked up our order and then made it seem like it was our fault like we ordered the wrong thing when we didn't order what they brought us at all and my girlfriend pretty sure they served her past due date pie because it smelled weird and they told us it was cooked this morning which is worse cause why does it smell like that then? read more

I spent so much money getting your wings delivered to find out your sauce is not buffalo style but basically sweet ketchup. So disappointed to think I was getting one thing only to end up with something barely edible. read more

We were very happy with the service, quality of the food and price. Nice place to go spur of the moment in Ft Pierce. The prices on the menu were reasonable for these times! read more

My experience with thirsty turtle started out a sour note but did improve! I called the restaurant to ask about a wait for a large party, 8 guests, I was quoted 45-55 minutes. We decided to head downtown anyway as there were multiple restaurants. We tried to walk into thirsty turtle and were shocked to see so many empty tables!! We had virtually no wait. I had a hard time understanding why they would turn guests away! Moral of the story- you might want to pop in and not call. When our waitress first greeted us, she let us know they were out of more than a few appetizers. I enjoyed the options on the cocktail menu and ordered a rum punch. They have a ton of beer options. My friend attempted to order a drink but the waitress dissuaded her by saying it tasted like medicine and she should try something else. The menu has something for everyone on it- salads, tacos, pasta and more. The food was good and I'm sure we will be back. read more

The service was great. Hailey H. was amazing and made our visit to the Thirsty Turtle a truly memorable experience. The food was hit or miss. What Hailey recommended was great... the other choices we made were not so good and had to be returned but was done so with no hesitation. read more

We ordered coconut shrimp and 45 minutes later they came out and said they were out of shrimp. It shouldn't have taken that long to let us know. We also ordered chicken that was horrible tasting. Definitely will not be going back and not recommending it to friends. read more

Always a wonderful experience at Thirsty Turtle. Our meal was absolutely outstanding. Service was a 10/10 as well. Great location, walking distance from River & local shops Downtown. Atmosphere matches the high quality food and much more! read more

Nothing special. The conch chowder is basically chili with a few small pieces of conch. The mahi was okay, but a bit limp and low on flavor. Worse, unacceptably so, was the guacamole. The menu says fresh guacamole, but when served it had a brown tinge - clearly not fresh. The waitress said it was made fresh yesterday. If they can't be bothered to make fresh guac, it makes one wonder if they're actually serving fresh fish. We won't be back. read more

Great new addition to the downtown Ft. Pierce scene. Their opening timing was unfortunate in that it fell in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The layout is great- good energy and plenty of TV's. The bar is a unique lay out where its really sort of a service bar/show kitchen which was a good option for the space they had to work with. There is also a bar outside that allows for views over to the marina. The menu is pretty standard and this being our first visit we only had a few drinks so can't comment on the food. We will definitely be back and wish the proprietor all the best under these challenging times. read more

Best wings, all of the food is recommended by me. Also the service is really good! And super nice inside and super clean!

First time here. I told my friend I didn't want to go because the reviews aren't good... he insisted we try it. And I was wrong. The food is very good. I got a bowl of chili and he got the Philly Cheese Steak. There is a nice selection of beers on tap and service was great. Aileen our server was very sweet! Glad we went and we will return. read more

May have been the toughest/driest chicken breast I've ever been served. Only reason I didn't return it was a colleague took me out to lunch here. The female bartender was extremely pleasant and that's the only reason why I'm not leaving one star. read more

This location is the newer one if Fort Pierce. It's not very much different from the psl location. Great food, great customer service. I will say this.. the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the sauce here is different from the st lucie location. I consider my self a thirsty turtle connoisseur. I been eating turtle since 2011. It's my favorite restaurant ever. But the sauce at this location is missing something. I don't know what but it's missing. Other than that this place is solid. Like don't let the different tasting wings deter you. THEY'RE STILL GOOD. Overall I highly recommend this location. If you're in the area you need to go here otherwise you're missing out read more

Service was slow, even with only a few tables seated. Our food was also not good, and our stingers were undercooked, gummy, and cold.... The issue was barely addressed, and no effort was made to fix it. I, as the customer, had to suggest it be removed. read more

Always wonderful service and great grub too, with a view of Fort Pierce downtown area and market place read more

Thirsty Turtle Seagrill - The view from seaside bar - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fort Pierce, Florida

I am a 50 year old mother of 4 college aged students. I consider myself an extremely responsible person. Today after work, I invited a few of my coworkers out for dinner at The Thirsty Turtle. I arrived at 5:15pm and drank 4 draft beers with appetizers and a full dinner. The time down was between 5:15 and 8:30pm when our waitress embarrassed me and cut me off refusing to serve me another beer because we were laughing and having a great time after a difficult day at work. We laughed further due to the ridiculousness after being cut off after only 4 beers. As we left, I spoke to the manager who seemed to be in agreement that the waitress perhaps made an immature judgement call, yet said he supports any call a server makes in this case even when they are probably wrong. Good for them. We won't be back. I need to be able to drink more than 4 beers when having a nice dinner out. Call me crazy, but I do. read more

We have been there several times. I just wanted to compliment Rocky!!! She is very personable and attentive!! Top notch customer service always and with everyone !!Great job!!. Scallop Cobb salad is very tasty as is the tuna salad!! The fried mushrooms are also a hit with me and my husband. The only constructive criticism is sometimes the chicken stingers are a little dry. Oh and the beer is ICE cold and served in cold mugs!! The restaurant it self has been clean whenever we have been there! We definitely make this one of our go to spots !! read more
