S3E14 – Kickstand’s Pub & Grub: Food, Community, and Full Throttle Spirit



In this episode, we sit down with Sheila Breech, of Kickstand’s Pub & Grub.  When Sheila and Dave Breech rolled into Pine Island, they brought more than restaurant know-how—they brought heart, grit, and a deep love for community and motorcycles. In this episode, Sheila shares how Kickstand’s Pub & Grub came to life, filling a big gap for a biker-friendly restaurant.

Now a favorite hangout for locals and visiting bikers, Kickstands serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a welcoming vibe and top-notch menu. They’ve revitalized the space with major renovations, a brand-new stage, and island-wide delivery. More than that, they’ve made it a place where the community gathers—hosting charity events, supporting local causes, and creating a space that feels like home.

🎸 Ride over on a weekend to catch live music from 1–4 p.m., or just stop in and say hello—you’ll always feel welcome at Kickstands.
