Taylor and Loretta are so sweet. I get confused sometimes because they look so much alike. Even when I can’t tell which one serves me, I’m never disappointed.

Boy howdy, where do I start? Pelican’s Perch is definitely a bar and from what I hear they serve food as well. Let’s just start with the negatives. First of all, I have never seen a single pelican perched in, or around, this establishment. False advertisement? Maybe. But what they lack in avian clientele, they make up for in their friendly service staff. All off the staff at the Pelican’s Perch are welcoming, friendly and dare I say beautiful. The most notable among them however is Taylor. Taylor (she/her) is a wait staff member who goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is the best waitress I have ever been blessed to be around. I wish everyone I dealt with in my daily life had the same gusto that Taylor has. This restaurant is blessed to have such a gracious and wonderful waitress.

Overall, it was not a good experience. The food was sub-par, and we all were left with upset stomachs that night and next day. I had to ask for a drink menu at a bar... My $11 cocktail (prices not listed on the menu) didn't seem to have much, if any alcohol in it. I understand that prices are increasing everywhere but the food was not worth the price point. The waitress did not do a good job either. After we got our food, we did not see her again until she was giving us our checks. And then trying to pay in cash was obnoxious (the waitress had to make change out of her tips/cash in her little pad), but there is a fee for using a card. I also expect my change to be given to me without having to ask... I work in a restaurant and this is not how the experience should have gone. Maybe some days are better than others or maybe they treat locals better, but I will not be back. It also was not that busy.

Server was excellent it seemed like she was the only person working and not watching the game she was serving every table! The food was just ok and half of it was served cold as if it had been in a refrigerator and was forgotten to heat before bringing to the table. Drinks were good! Would go back to drink just not going back to eat.

Great local spot for some casual American Eats and some sea food classics, Loretta was our bartender and made us immediately feel at home with their hospitality and great drinks. Would definitely recommend for a dinner or lunch while you’re visiting the

Got takeout last spring, thought I reviewed it but did not. I was not bad but not memorable. We had burgers and fries....we will come back and try something else.
It was the worst restaurant experience I’ve even had at the beach, we sat down for 20 minutes and not one server ever came to greet us or ask us for our drink order, multiple servers walked passed us the whole time and never once was asked if we were taken care of..we will never go back to this mediocre establishment again.

My favorite local restaurant! The menu is delicious with many different choices. My favorite is a special night which starts on Thursdays during off season. The comfort food, chicken pie with southern sides is delicious!! The perfect home-cooked meal with friends at my favorite local place. Can't wait for the summer at Pelicans Perch!
I should have stuck with a cheese burger... On the positive side, nice folks and the takeout order was quick. But probably the worst chicken tacos I've ever had. Cold, skimpy and the side of chips tasted like they were cooked last week and left on a shelf. I've had great burgers here.

Very poorly managed establishment. I first went to order the ocean Isle sampler then they told me that the jalapeño mozzarella balls were now an up charge even though it is on the menu, I would have to stick with mozzarella sticks if I did not want to pay the upcharge. Then I went to order the hamburger steak with okra and mashed potatoes which I was told by the waitress was on their special list for the day. Mind you this is 1 PM then she comes back 20 minutes later and tells me that the okra is Not available and then with less than four plates in front of us, and took almost 37 minutes to get our food, I did not eat it sent the waitress to do his dirty work and wouldn’t come tell me that they didn’t have the okra if you’re the owner of a restaurant and you’re in there and you don’t have two items that are on your menu. Wouldn’t you come and tell the guest yourself gutless. I will never return to this establishment and will tell anyone any chance I get to never go to This place

I stopped here for lunch on new year's day. It was busy and had a vibrant atmosphere. The grilled haddock fillet was great and well done. The spicy cole slaw had a nice kick. Service was good and fairly quick. Seems like a nice family friendly restaurant.Parking: More free parking near park.
