Welcome to Sweeties Diner

Buckle up, Fort Pierce—Sweeties Diner isn’t your average roadside stop. We’re famous for our one-of-a-kind sign zingers that blend sharp humor, bold opinions, and real talk. Whether you’re here for a laugh, a groan, or a jaw-drop, our ever-changing sign keeps the conversation spicy and the memories unforgettable

Tea Time – How it All Got Started

This sign was put up when a Fort Pierce Police Department lieutenant came to the restaurant in an undercover car and told us we needed to remove our sign. We informed the officer—who was head of Internal Affairs—that the sign is protected under Freedom of Speech and would not be coming down at her request.

Ever since that day, the Sweetie’s Sign has been used for topics we feel are important (and, of course, our jokes to keep you laughing)

Our philosophy? Life’s too short for boring signs—or boring diners. At Sweeties, we serve up freedom of speech alongside your favorite comfort foods, with a wink and a grin. Dive into our sign galleries and discover why locals and travelers alike can’t resist pulling over for a peek!
