Farrell,
EFT's student housing is actually in Vero Beach not Fort Pierce, so maybe you want to rename your thread?
I shouldn't worry to much about where is good to eat in advance as there are plenty of Diners, Grills, and other restaurants to choose from here. Some of them on them right on beach are worthy of a mention. Waldo's being one and Mulligan's another.
However, the most important place you'll first learn about when you get here is the Tiki restaurant actually on the airport. I can almost guarantee you will have breakfast and lunch there on more than one occasion during your stay!!
Hope this helps, I know it is a very important consideration!!
Matt
