The Pelican House Restaurant is a popular dining spot if you're in the area. The service is outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff like Louis and Luke, who make sure guests are well taken care of. The restaurant offers a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, with jazz music playing softly in the background, creating a relaxing ambiance. It has ample free parking, making it convenient for visitors.
The menu features a variety of dishes, including well-marinated turkey necks, catfish, waffles, and fried ribs, all highly recommended by customers. The turkey necks are considered the best, and the blackened catfish with the special sauce is also praised for its delicious flavor. The catfish has a crispy cornmeal batter with a crispy outside and soft inside, and the caramel infusion on the dish is subtle, not too sweet. Customers also enjoyed the salad, which was fresh with homemade dressing, and the bread pudding that melted in the mouth.
While most dishes are flavorful, some customers noted that the flavor profiles for catfish and crabcake could be improved, as they were found to be bland and lacking seasoning. Portions are generous, but some felt that the seafood platter had too many potato chips, which could be reduced to make more room for seafood. The gumbo has a tomato-based flavor, which may not appeal to everyone.
The restaurant’s service is genuinely inviting and professional. Customers have praised the quality and quantity of the food, stating everything was cooked to perfection and exceeded expectations. Although wait times for takeout can be a little long, the overall experience is highly recommended. The Pelican House offers a cozy environment with excellent service, tasty dishes, and convenient parking, making it a great choice for a satisfying meal.
