About The Pelican House Restaurant

The Pelican House Restaurant is a popular dining spot if you're in the area, known for its genuine hospitality and cozy vibes. The service is outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff who ensure guests are well taken care of. The restaurant offers a 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. Many diners have praised the Cajun food as authentic and delicious, with dishes that are perfectly seasoned and cooked with evident passion. The blackened catfish with the special sauce is highlighted for its great flavor, featuring a crispy cornmeal batter that balances a crispy outside with a soft inside. Customers also enjoyed the fresh salad 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. Although wait times for takeout can be a little long, the overall experience is highly recommended. The Pelican House offers incredible food, unbeatable service, and convenient parking, making it a great choice for a satisfying meal.

Stopped by The Pelican House for some Louisiana Cajun flavor and it did not disappoint! I ordered the grilled seafood platter,super flavorful and cooked just right. You can really taste the seasoning in every bite.

I also tried the peach cobbler, and it was spot on. Perfect balance of breading and peachesn not too heavy, not too sweet.

The food here was beyond anything I could imagine. Everything had so much flavor. You receive so much with your order that you have to take it home! The service was excellent and the environment was just amazing. I can’t wait to come back again! We plan to make it through the entire menu!!
