We used to love Pickled and for years it was one of our regular hang out spots. We've repeatedly given the new owners of Picked many chances because we love Fort Pierce & want them to succeed. Unfortunately new owners have lost control of wait staff. Staff don't seem to care about mistakes made with orders, consistency & quality controls are a major problem. We waited 20 min before anyone gave us water, then 32 min longer before drinks delivered, food took additional hour + and food was not delivered to everyone at the table at the same time one person waited additional 10 minutes, some food was delivered cold, another was overcooked & greasy and we received more excuses, nothing was made right no managers checking on tables etc.. Additionally we made reservations for 4 couples total of 8 pp, explained couples had different budgets and confirmed we could receive 3 checks, upon arrival we again requested 3 separate checks from waiter, but when it came time for us to pay waiter had a bad acting confused routine. Waiter was dismissive, disrespectful, belittling and comfortable embarrassing us for bringing in a party of 8 into Pickled and requesting 3 checks. Ultimately the waiter made it impossible for 8pp to receive 3 separate checks as promised. Our bill for 2pp: one $7 cocktail, water for designated driver, 1 hamburger and 1 meatloaf was a ridiculous $128. for mediocre food and limited service. Left a message for manager / owners who have yet return our call. Crickets, so now we don't trust Pickled. Best wishes from full time Fort Pierce locals. Sadly never again

Our experience at Pickled was great. I loved the unique menu which is why we wanted to try it. And it had something for everyone. The rustic, intimate atmosphere was surprisingly different for Fort Pierce. The service was personal and professional. The food was prepared in a good amount of time. We will be going back.

My family and I were visiting Fort Pierce for Spring break with my in laws, who live in FP.My husband and I went for a walk in town and came across Pickled. We told my in laws we wanted to go there for dinner, so we did. We made reservations and got there about 20 min. early and waited about 5 min before anyone even greeted us... When we got sat, we ordered our drinks and an appetizer, the fried green tomatoes and bread. The tomatoes took awhile and came out way over cooked. To the point that mine tasted like grease and the tomato was super super little. The bread was hard as a rock, but my son was hungry, so he ate it. We ordered more bread and the 2nd order came out warm and soft. Don't know why the first order was hard, but oh well. Dinner.... I ordered the meatloaf. When it came out, I could already tell if was going to be dry by looking at it. Not only was it dry, but when we asked our waitress what ingredient was overpowering in it, she said "all I know is it is beef mixed with chorizo and they bind it together, so it's the spices in chorizo. Well... I didn't even know it was made with chorizo, or I wouldn't have ordered it. Not my cup of tea. That was not explained on the menu, that it was made with chorizo. Not only that, but it was so dry, I had to ask for extra peppercorn sauce just to get some down. The brussel sprouts needed to be cooked longer. The mashed potatoes were good and my son loved the truffle Mac n cheese. My husband ordered the pork chop. He said the same thing about his Brussels and that the pork chop was "ok".. my MIL liked her filet and my FIL.saod his was "ok" ... The service was very slow..when we got there, there were only a few at the bar, two tables were seated. Our waitress was nice, but we didn't see her much. It was just very slow. The good thing about this experience, is we don't live here, so we won't be back. However, my parents do, but they probably won't be back either, unless it's for a drink, not the food. It stinks because it has a really good atmosphere and it looks like it could have good potential, but we did not have a good experience at all.

Pickled is awesome, specifically on Martini Monday or Margarita Tuesday. In fact, “any day is a great day at Pickled.”

If you haven't tried Pickled lately, it's worth the investigation. PrimeRib Sunday was outstanding. Bourbon chicken +++. Not the Fort Pierce Haunt your are use to. 5 stars thanks for the over service Mark....

Once again, we had a great time at pickled! Definitely get yourself a bloody Mary and get yourself the mac & cheese burger. We completely enjoyed ourselves, and our waiter was very attentive. A great location and great value for your money.

Extremely slow service no matter what time of day

The shrimp and grits were good but too salty. Chicken dish with grits and collard greens was very good. Deviled eggs were good but overpriced at $17 for 5. Our drink order took 40 minutes and was probably sitting on the bar for most of that time as the ice was melted. The old fashioned was just bad. The restaurant is supposed to specialize in bourbon so this was weird. No acknowledgement of my husband's birthday despite putting this on the open table booking. Overall good food but service is lacking.

The food is great! My husband had the pimento burger, it was huge and delicious. I had the chicken and it was great. Our bartender Sarah was awesome, knowledgeable about Tequila and made great drinks!
On a 2 week vacation in Fort Pierce and have been to Pickled 3 times, and have had three separate dishes, all of which have been excellent.. our new favourite restaurant in the area...

Menu was very different and southern. Not necessarily our taste, BUT, it was unique. We like to try new places on the Treasure Coast. It was delightful. Our server, “T” was adorable and very attentive! Everything we ate was delicious. We were very pleased. The music was enjoyable and not too loud. This is a great place to sit at the bar, have appetizers and drinks or enjoy a rich delicious meal. We'll definitely be back!
