A classic, old style waterfront eatery. Nothing fancy. Indoors or outdoors. Great bar scene available. Just good food, friendly service, good prices, and a fun place to eat along the coast. We loved it to share a wonderful lunch with friends from out of town.

Really enjoyed our first visit. Will not be our last. A cold February lunch. Enjoyed the shrimp tacos, some hush puppies and an onion bloom. Hush puppies plus honey and sauce were perfect. Plan on visiting again to enjoy the outside space.

Always a winner, must do wedge with their famous garlic dressing. During season need to go early or just plan to have some drinks by the water as you wait for table.

Wow! After being treated rudely at a different establishment, we walked to Pelican Bend. We were kindly greeted by two separate hostesses, given our choice of seating areas, we chose outside. The setting was beautiful. Our server was attentive and suggested several options. We chose an amazing toasted coconut margarita and a beer. They arrived promptly, followed shortly thereafter by our meals. Fish chowder, coconut shrimp, sautéed shrimp. Each dish was hot and delicious. We had key lime pie for dessert, which is the best we’ve sampled locally! Wish we had come sooner in our stay to have time for a return visit.

Great place for some low key good food and real good people. Nice location at the marina for a great setting too. The drinks were good, the food was good, the desert was good, and the service was great. Would recommend if you are in town.

First time going and would highly recommend! Coconut marg was sooo delicious. The staff was so attentive and the manger running the place was so kind and helpful. Creamy garlic dressing on the wedge salad was homemade and was to die for. Same with PB Pie!!
Plus the amazing patio, live music, and sunset. We will be back!

Very Good.. service was Good..Our dish came hot ready to eat. Bad weather kept us in doors. But still had a Great lunch! God Bless 🙏 Carry On 👍💪 Pelican Bend see you soon!!
Been coming here for 30 years this May. The fried grouper basket was always my go-to for lunch, but it is no longer offered. I would drive 90 minutes out of my way when I was in SW FL to come here. The current platter “catch of the day” is a thinner filet of fish and doesn’t compare to the thicker, juicier and more flavorful chunks of grouper that came in the basket. I’m in Naples right now and I’m not sure if I’ll be making the short drive to the Pelican Bend, which is a supreme disappointment for me. I’m relatively sure the sautéed catch of the day is as good as it used to be.

I think about this place all the time even though I haven’t been in years. Fish of the day with sweet potato and some hush puppies… best meal I’ve ever had.

Super fast, excellent service. Especially considering it's busy season. Arrived at 5:50, enjoyed a drink, some oysters, and our meal. Out the door by 6:30. Not rushed, our choice. Definitely recommend.
