12A Buoy

Best sea food I have ever taste. Everything was seasoned beautifully. Amazing.definitely will be coming back. Our server Michael was very attentive and very friendly. Loved his service. Also Georgia was very kind with my daughter gave her a little rubber ducky that she loved. I recommend this sea food place like 100/10. It is very pricey we spent almost $300 for a family of 5 , including a calamari appetizer and a clam chowder cup of soup that got annihilated before I got to take a picture. It was worth everything. Worth every penny

Absolutely AMAZING!!! I have spent a lot of time in Ft Pierce in my life but this was my first time here! My husband and I had a BLAST and the food was amazing- very fresh and flavorful. It’s a chill and laid back environment but no one is slacking on the flavors of the menu!
Laura, Rachel and Emily are the best 😀 I’m so glad we sat at the bar- we had the same delicious food and fast service but got to laugh and chat with the servers, which is just what we needed after traveling! I wish I could go here every night! It’s my new favorite restaurant in the area!

Touted for their New England Clam Chowder and the Crab Cakes - it did not disappoint. They both were outstanding. Nice outdoor seating. Out of several dinner entrees at 5pm on a Saturday. No butter as asked for when baked potato ordered. No condiments on table. Hostess secured both eventually. Server not readily available. Prices should dictate reasonable service.

12A Buoy understands what it takes to succeed after 12+ years!
Great location with mainly outdoor seating, beautiful menu with plenty of variety & fresh seafood, full bar, plenty of friendly & efficient staff.
We will always come back for a delicious dinner & of course, the famous lobster mac & cheese which is more of an entree than an appetizer that reheats well at home.
Congrats to 12A Buoy!

Ate at this place for the first time, I was cautious at first. However, the food was amazing! Service was great. The bill was high but worth it!

The food was the best we have had so far. Pretty busy inside. Very loud. Very cold and breezy. Food was fast but not very hot. Still would recommend over the places we have tried. The plates are really pretty.

Small rustic dining room and they prep you for slow food from the small kitchen. But service was outstanding and the food was excellent! Most of the fish is local - they can tell you from where - prepared well, with house made sides (coleslaw, rice& beans wonderful) and great/reasonable drink options.

I can't recommend thus place highly enough.

Very nice place on the water. The seared ahi dinner was superb! Beautiful cuts of tuna. They even have cute cats outside that like to be pet if you're into it.

the place on the edge of the pier with a large terrace and also tables inside. Sun staff very nice and helpful. The food was very delicious, but something I must mention is that the clam showder soup here is one of the best I have ever tasted.

Place was super busy for a Tuesday at 430 pm but they were able to seat us quickly. Chowder is always good. Tuna and fish special were spot on. Our mistake was ordering and eating the tuna in ponzu sauce before the stuffed grouper. The saltiness of the sauce ruined our palate for our main course. The fish dish was still prepared well.

Overall, I enjoyed the food here and it was a great spot to grab a quick bite after crossing the bridge and checking out the area. Maps took us around the building the scenic way, but still got us there.

Our group had conch fritters, ahi tuna, scallops, swordfish, and one other plate I don't recall. All had great flavor and were cooked properly.

Service was a little on the slow side with drink refills, but the food quality was great, I'd definitely go back.

12A Buoy is the place for good food and drinks. They have Stella on tap nice and cold. We had the garlic mussels and they were on point! Can’t recommend a better place for low key GREAT seafood!

The food is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is to die for. Service was excellent. Get ready for a chill delicious meal.

Anne our server was absolutely amazing! She truly went above and beyond for us. She is the reason we gave this restaurant 5 stars.

Their fish is fresh and cooked to perfection. Their sides could be better though. The conch salad is so fresh and tasted amazing and their key lime pie is a MUST!!! We will definitely go back to eat their super fresh seafood but will make sure to select different sides because the mashed potatoes were just okay and the rice tasted like saffron or something overpowering like that. The lemon butter fixed the mashed potatoes for us so that might help if you feel they are somewhat bland.

Short wait but well worth it. A couple of a kitties to keep us entertained. By far, the best fish dip i've had in Florida.

Hats off to the owner because he is running a very successful business and they have no where to go except up. Food was great, atmosphere was great, and the drinks were amazing. Over all it was an amazing experience.

I love the food here. They have great service and a friendly atmosphere.

Fun little diner right on the wharf. There is plenty of seating inside and out. There is plenty of parking as well. The staff seems to work well together and our waitress was diligent and timely and checked on us regularly to make sure everything was taken care of. They serve daily fresh catch, beer and mixed drinks. While I got fries, I wish I had gotten onion straws because they looked really good.

We were told this place had delicious food and we agree 100%. We arrived early enough we did not have a wait, about 5:30 on a Thursday evening. We were greeted promptly by a friendly waitress whom informed us about them cooking food to ordered, so it might take longer. Not a problem for us and it didn't take too long. I ordered the fried shrimp entree and my husband ordered the grilled scallops with ginger sauce. My shrimp were lightly breaded, butterfly and cooked perfectly, some of the best I have ever had in a restaurant. I had the saffron rice and veggies of the day, squash and zucchini. Both sides were also tasty. I also ordered a tossed salad which was very fresh. My husband's scallops were delicious and not over cooked. We would go back. The food was served with an edible flower which we both enjoyed. The prices were very reasonable and the quality high.

Food was great and prices were reasonable
Very clean and service was great.
