BUYER BEWARE!Awhile back I purchased a CL coupon deal, 15.00 for 30.00. Printed it out and put in my car, I forgot about it for a while and finally came across it. I noticed the it had expired by less than a week. Called the Restaurant if they would still honor it, they answered with a flat out NO. The other day I noticed they are running the deal again, which sparked this memory, most businesses are understanding in matters such as thievery disappointed, I've never been and probably won't.REPLY:I'm not sure WHO I spoke to , I guess I should have written that down???? Also quite sure the deal was spend 15 get 30 , check the CL site. Either way I was not given the option to redeem, bad way to do business IMO

From the moment we walked in, we felt like family. We were warmly greeted by the bartender and invited to sit and enjoy. We enjoyed a couple brews and had the toasted raviolis and pork tacos. Everything came out quick, hot, and most importantly, delicious! We met the owner Dan, who is very friendly and even came out to wish us goodbye when we were leaving. We hope to make it a regular spot to stop in. Highly recommend it!

Food was really good. Service was suspect at first but got better as the night went on. It was crowded but they finally caught up. One entree came out bad and it was comped. Good business. Definitely will return as it’s a very cool vibe. My Mets slaughtered the cardinals that night and it was a good night all around. lol.

False Advertising for sure. Very misleading menu. Went in to order an overpriced French dip sandwich for $16.99. Ok, I'm hungry. I'll bite the bullet, pay the ridicously high price. But then waitress tells me it comes with nacho chips instead of French fries like the menu and picture advertise. I explain that's false advertising to please get a manager. Manager comes back and says, "yeah, just chips not fries. We have to take a new picture everytime we change the menu and we're not gonna do that. "Bye bye Pesky Pelican. Don't waste your time with this dump folks.

If you're looking for St. Louis food, look no further. The food was perfect, and the pizza is the traditional STL pizza, made with provel. Even though we just found this place, we plan to become regulars. I've been trying to find STL pizza for years in Florida, I'm so happy I found this place finally. I recommend this place for EVERYONE!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pizza

This is a fabulous little dive bar!The food is surprisingly very good!They have a nice menu. I had a hard time making up my mind what I wanted because there's a vast selection, and it all looks good!I decided on the fish and chips. And it was perfectly cooked! Not greasy at all, not over salted. It was very good!I don't drink alcoholic beverages, but I noticed they have a great selection of beers and seltzer waters with alcohol too. My friend had a nice glass of wine. It looked like a generous pour.I got iced tea, which they brew themselves. And that was perfect too! Freshly brewed tea . Really good!We went for the drag queen bingo, and it was a hoot! So much fun!The place is older, a little run down, but it's very clean, and the chairs are quite comfy.We'll be back!

Being from St. Louis, I stuck with the foods from back home (toasted ravioli, St. Louis style salad, and of course, thin crust pizza with PROVEL cheese). The food was amazing! And as luck would have it, we sat right next to the owner, who helped explain the awesomeness that is St. Louis food.And of course we topped the meal off with some gooey butter cake that was perfection!I will most definitely be back, and I'm sure that my Florida native friends that I brought out tonight will return as well. The best part of the night was when my extremely picky 5 year old told me that the cheese on the pizza was "yummy".

The place was packed with a trivia game, so we had to sit outside under a tent. There was no "atmosphere" under the tent. The food was just average, but the service was excellent, which made up for the rest.

St. Louis represented! We had STL and pizza. They knocked it out of the park. It was comforting seeing my St. Louis Blues represented too! For any St. Louisian this is a must try! They also have gooey butter cake, if you are not from STL, you need to try it.Owner stopped by and chatted STL and sports a bit. Amazing find! We will be back.

This spot came in clutch out of know where when I was on the Pinellas trail! Fantastic and fairly priced food (I had the meat ball sub) and beer. The bartender Hollis is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about this area.

4/24/2023 open mic night was awesome. Many different talents. Had cheeseburger and fries. Burger was cooked to perfection and can't get enough of the fries. Great backyard causal environment and very attentive staff.
