Food in Fort Pierce
OK folks, now that I've paid my deposit for my PPL with EFT...... can any of you recommend good places to eat that are near the student accommodation in Vero beach (i think)?
Cheers, and if any of you on the ATP fancy meeting up, PM me and I'll give you my details. Wayne |
If I recall correctly there is a real nice mcdonalds there !! or was it burger king ?
|
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!! :p Matt |
Hey Farrell
I am also going EFT for my PPL in the first week of April. When will you be going there? Also, how would people rate local hotels/motels vs EFT accom? Cheers |

Jesus Handspring!
That's a restaurant for every meal of the trip! Thanks mate! Matt - I'm sure I'll spend many a meal at the Tiki! Cheers folks! Wayne |
Good to know there will be no shortage of places to eat, when I go over at the backend of march for my CPL.

Another good spot is the flying j's.It's a trucker stop near fort pierce.The breakfast buffet is to die for!!
|
Good to know where the Flying J is for circuit joining purposes as well! (And the Winn Dixie supermarket and the I-95 as well).
Enjoy your time at Saint Lucie - I still have fond memories of my flying there over three years ago! :ok: |
Near to the EFT accommodation in Vero is a "family sports bar" called Beef O'Brady's which has a happy "hour" Monday to Saturday 3 til 7. Domestic draughts just 99cents (admittedly not a pint). The staff are normally more than happy to put Fox Sports World on one of the tvs which show the odd premiership game.:ok:
|
I recommend Bono's for their ribs and a waitress called Kelly who has the cutest butt..... who somehow managed to get herself up the duff when I was there.
Ocean Grill is on the pricey side. There is a lively bikers bar called 'The Jetty' down by the beach near 'Theo Thudpuckers' which is a great night out on a Saturday! Mind your manners though or you may become another crime statistic..... Crime in Fort Pierce (2002): 8 murders (20.4 per 100,000) 41 rapes (104.5 per 100,000) 236 robberies (601.5 per 100,000) 538 assaults (1371.3 per 100,000) 964 burglaries (2457.2 per 100,000) 2,152 larceny counts (5485.3 per 100,000) 390 auto thefts (994.1 per 100,000) Enjoy! :) VFE. |
VFE.......is that location, Gerland, Lyon??
|
Had many a good night in Chili's in Vero, bout 5 min drive from the housing
|
Farrell,
No, it's just a play on words: England = In Gerland ..... ....you know how our football fans shout "INGERRRLAND INGERRRLAND INGERRRLAND" at soccer matches? :) VFE. |
I am shocked nobody has suggested the Golden Coral yet. Its near Fort Pierces walmart, and it is a drive away but its a glorious all you can eat, look at me i'm a fat beast, resteraunt. With any luck i'll be out at EFT in May to savour the treats of the golden coral. Also there is some mad chinese buffet as well hidden in fort pierce, however both were very cheap and i don't recall seeing many dogs or cats in Fort Pierce
|
What - no Blue Oyster...?
:E |
I can't believe that for a place as grim as Fort Pierce this thread has made it onto a second page!! :uhoh:
|
Anyone know if Archie's Seabreeze Bar on South Hutchinson Island survived the hurricanes ?
Ft Pierce isn't grim, it's just that snobs don't like it. If you're living in Ft Pierce and get fed up, go south towards Stuart rather than up to VRB. If you're actually staying in VRB then unfortunately Stuart is a bit of a treck so you'll just have to get used to being surrounded by a load of "Oh, we live in Vero Beach" s. |
Fort Pierce grim? Nah, Pahokee or Airglades - now that's grim! Pop in and say hello to the banjo player next time you're flying past. First time I visited Fort Pierce was about five years ago. The taxi driver was the perfect tour guide meeting me at the Greyhound Station and giving a running commentary as we swerved elegantly towards my motel. The stearing was shot to sh!t in this cab and it was pretty obvious the driver had been hitting it hard the night before. His introduction was perfect if rather un-PC:
"This is the bad part of town. This is where all the black people live. Drugs. Prosititution. Crime. Don't come near this part of town unless you're after trouble". Best part came later that night when I went to that Jetty bikers bar I mentioned. Sitting at the bar supping the Bud and musing pleasantly on this an' that (as ya do), a nice hairy local tatooed gent informed me that because I was English and the fact it was getting late (1am) the chances of my ass getting hauled outside into the car park at gunpoint and being administered a sound thrashing were increasing ten fold with every ticking second but to not worry because his pals were looking out for me.* Above moments aside - it ain't a particularly bad place (I've been to worse places) - you just have to learn how to carry yourself and not walk around with a bum bag and a posh accent. If you want to experience the real America by going to bars like the one mentioned here then it's perhaps prudent to go with friends unless you're good at talking your way out of bother. :} VFE. * = Note the bikers were great people. |
