“Had a great first experience here with 5 adults and 2 kids. Fast service, great sized serving of perfectly seasoned red snapper, the friendliest staff, and a good espresso martini. Jill was our server and she was phenomenal! We enjoyed chatting with her and she was super helpful for us navigating the menu. Definitely would be back!!”

“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!”

“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!”

“our favorite place to eat on the island ❤️”

“I have been a big fan of Mo’s Pizza for years. Today I tried some other menu options and was completely blown away. The pasta and marinara are excellent. The vegetables are well prepared and fresh. They are not heavily sauced but rely on their natural flavor. The roasted potatoes were exceptional. Service was very friendly, prompt and professional. A real plus is being able to get a first rate meal without having to sit in traffic for an hour. Plenty of free parking more bonus points! Highly recommended!”

“Oysters, shrimp, lobster rolls and cold beer! All delicious and wait staff friendly! Enjoyed ourselves!”

“Omg. I can’t put into words how amazing this place is. Great food, great vibes and AMAZING food. Can’t wait to go back!!”

“Make a plan. Make a reservation. Get comfortable... the menu is full of amazing options and the specials are off the charts! It can get loud when it's full, but still very charming and enjoyable.”

“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 💚”
