The Top Restaurants In Port St Lucie, Florida

Redfish Rick’s Neighborhood Grill began as a gas station diner, specializing in hot, home-cooked meals created for people with an on-the-go lifestyle. Owner Rob Pociask named the restaurant to honor his brother who passed away. Since it’s conception, the restaurant has moved to a more centrally located plaza in Pt. St. Lucie. Try the bacon wrapped shrimp over a fried grit cake with bacon gravy, or for breakfast try the breakfast burrito.

Fernando’s Dockside Grille offers a mixture of New England, Portuguese and Mediterranean fare. Inside the quaint, newly constructed Spanish colonial style building, there is a dozen tables dressed in white, some of which are situated on the cobblestone patio next to the St. Lucie River. Highly recommended from the menu is the bacalhau a braz, consisting of a boneless, salted cod finely flaked and battered with thin fried potatoes, scrambled eggs and extra virgin Portuguese olive oil, garnished with kalmata olives and roasted peppers. Pair this with a local Portuguese beer or wine.

Berry Fresh Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch and serves menu items that are both organic and sourced locally. There’s always a wait for a spot at the weekend as it’s one of the most popular breakfast joints in the region. Start with the blueberry fritters – specially crafted donuts rolled in sugar and spice – then move to the French toast, which is rolled in cornflakes, stuffed with Nutella, and covered in bacon pieces and caramel drizzle. Accompany the meal with mimosas, loose-leaf tea or coffee.

Lola’s Seafood Eatery is a chef-owned joint serving a New England style menu and New Bedford seafood. Food is ordered at the counter and served at the table. There is nothing fancy going on in here, just fresh, quick and tasty seafood made-to-order. Recommended from the menu: coconut crusted grouper, soft shell crab sandwich, clam bellies, fried oysters, and shrimp tacos.

Tavola Pizza makes daily fresh bread and made-to-order hand tossed wraps and salads. A surf theme resonates throughout the cozy, contemporary pizzeria, as the owners pride themselves on being part of the community and sponsoring events like local fishing tournaments and surfing contests.
