We celebrated my son’s 9th birthday at the pelican post today and I wish I could leave a 20 star review! The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly, and the service was top notch! Mel and Emma were amazing and we will definitely be back! Thanks for a great meal and great experience!

Love love love this place. Are here this weekend. Staff are just awesome. And oh yeah the food is great! The only thing - don't expect to get it fast, but I'd rather wait a moment to get good food than get bad food fast.

We were a large group, to surprise my great nephew on his 21st birthday. The GM was very accommodating and the wait staff the best. A very enjoyable evening for a special occasion. Definitely will be going again. Just a smaller group next time as we don’t all typically go out together. There were 17 of us.

The food was really good. I ordered the cheese curds and chili dog. Both impressed. The staff was fun and funny. I really want to recognize the GM, Emma (hopefully spelled correctly) also. I lost track how many times, but she was constantly asked her staff how everyone was doing, running drinks/food and kept a high energy level the whole time. She personally got me refills and checked on how I was doing. Overall a great experience and I will be returning.

Good fish and shrimp all you can eat and free beer. Mixed cocktails not so good.

Went to the pelican post bar & grill last night, when we got there, we were told to sit wherever and then it took them about 10 minutes to ask us for our drink order and to get a menu. Then we ordered it took them 45 minutes after we ordered to get our appetizer and when we got it, it was cold and then our main meal came shortly after we got our appetizer it was cold and not seasoned, had to ask for out silverware, we payed and left. The servers were just standing around playing on their phones and talking to people, ignoring tables, I seen people walk up to the servers and ask them to bust tables so they could sit down. That was my first time there and I will not be returning

Really good food! Fresh and homemade! We had the sloppy joes and the chili cheese dog. The service was excellent! Lots of beers on tap. Very cool atmosphere and an amazing outside patio. We will definitely be back again!
