Indian River Magazine readers helped us choose these restaurants during voting March 15-April 1.
Little Jim Bait & Tackle
601 N. Causeway | Fort Pierce
468.2503 | www.littlejimbaitandtackle.com
WHAT READERS SAY:
“The atmosphere is fantastic, food is good [food truck style], the servers and bartenders are always nice. They have a lot of great live music as well. Little Jim’s is rich in Fort Pierce and U.S. Navy tradition. You can hang here all day, or just boat up for a bite to eat or grab some package goods, bait, etc. The Cajun-styled boiled peanuts are awesome! It’s also a front row seat to watch the boat ramp across the way — free entertainment!”
“The food is great, the drinks are cold, and it’s hard to beat the laid-back atmosphere of the former NAVY UDT’s fuel depot turned bait and tackle shop, bar and restaurant. They have live music almost daily. It is quintessential old-time Florida at its best.”
Crabby’s Dockside
2 Avenue A | Fort Pierce
252.5672 | www.crabbysdocksideftpierce.com
WHAT READERS SAY:
“The Fort Pierce Marina makes docking easy and Crabby’s has two slips. Crabby’s always cooks our catch perfectly and has lots of side options. Plus, the fish cutting station is readily available to clean your catch! The beers are cold, and their Bloody Marys are the best in town.”
“Red shrimps are delicious and the Bairdi crab is incredible and you cannot get anywhere else.”
Cobb’s Landing
200 N. Indian River Drive
Fort Pierce
460.9014

WHAT READERS SAY:
“Great location at the Fort Pierce City Marina, awesome food, craft cocktails, 25 draft beers, family friendly, friendly staff and great outdoor dining under the tiki.”
“Located at the Fort Pierce City Marina, love the Ahi Tuna Nachos, fresh catch, a great beer selection, live music seven days a week, and friendly staff.”
Skippers Cove Bar And Grill
1930 Harbortown Drive
Fort Pierce

287.2500 | www.piratescoveresort.com
WHAT READERS SAY:
“This is a true boating destination that is easily accessible for vessels large and small with professional marina staff on hand to assist when needed. Good food at good prices and a fun destination to bring out-of-town guests. Diners can choose inside, outside on the deck or downstairs at the more casual tiki bar setting.”

Sebastian Saltwater Marina

918.4229 | www.sebastiansaltwater.com
WHAT READERS SAY:
“Sebastian Saltwater Marina has a fantastic atmosphere on the river. It is easy to dock your boat or fill your tank at the marina! They have a restaurant with indoor or outdoor dining, same with the two bars, plus a sandy beach area with chairs and cornhole. The food is delicious and the drinks are, too! After we enjoy our time there, we shoot out to the Sebastian Inlet to fish and watch the manatees, dolphins and sting rays play in the gorgeous blue water! My favorite restaurant and I love it!!
P. S. We had our wedding reception there, too!”
“Gorgeous menu and drinks! Not all fried. Amazing dock and outdoor and indoor dining! Impeccable service!”
