“We found this restaurant via Google search. We showed up without a reservation(sorry). We were welcomed and offered two seats at the bar. What a fantastic experience. Miranda was our server and there was nothing she could have done to make our dining experience more special. We spoke with the owners, the chef, and several servers, and everyone there made sure our dining experience was perfect. The drinks, the wine, the apps, the food(tuna nachos, crab fritters and shrimp Seoul bowls), everything was spectacular. We are already planning our next visit!”

“Service was more than 5 stars. Wish i could give more, the vibe is everything. You're comfortable, it's energetic and vibrant, music is solid, perfect view of the water and boardwalk. The food was delicious, BEST FRIED PICKLES WEVE EVER HAD!!!! If you're vacationing, live local, or simply want a good time, Sunny Daze Smokehouse is where you do it. Can't emphasize enough, Andrew made the whole experience with his positive energy, go get em attitude and excellently executed serving. God bless, Happy Easter weekend!!! God is good, and you really feel it when you're around people like Andrew, in places like the patio of Sunny Daze.”

“It is clean, decorated with a lot of nostalgic mementos, they only take cash, prompt service, courteous counter help, good sweet tea, he cranks out a lot of burgers and dogs from that grill, and their link breakfast sausage is the best! Generous helpings, free drink refills, friendly atmosphere. It passed my wife’s scrutiny, so trust me it’s good.”

“Our group of three ate here on a spring vacation. We liked it very much, we ate here twice! The place was small, yet not crowded. No wait for a table! One time there I had bacon and eggs , yummy! Another time there I had the BLT . Delicious! My parents and I enjoyed watching the people walking around the streets outside of our booth window and the restaurant noise level was not too loud. This made it easy for us to talk about our trip plans. The best part was our service was spot on… staff did awesome job on taking orders and getting them not only correct yet also out quick . Thank you KP House for giving us a nice trip memory!”

“Waiter/bartender was so pleasant to talk to. My husband and I enjoyed hearing his story . The drink was pretty fantastic too. The place is really unique and suitable for everyone . We will return .”

“I hadn't been back to the Pelican in over a decade before popping in this Christmas Day. It's a rough day for my family and we couldn't have asked for a kinder, sweeter, or friendlier group of locals. The Pelican family went out if it's way to make us feel loved and welcome, to the point of tears. It's a memory that will stay in my mind as among the truest examples of the Christmas spirit I have ever experienced. Thank you 💚”
