The Cajun food here is authentic and mind-blowingly delicious. Every dish we tried was perfectly seasoned and cooked with an evident passion for the cuisine. It was the kind of meal that makes you want to slowly savor every bite. If you're looking for genuine, high-quality Cajun cooking, look no further—Pelican House nails it.

Everything was prompt, and the entire team seemed dedicated to ensuring a flawless dining experience.

I visited the Pelican House for a spectacular Birthday Party on Saturday 9/27/2025, however, to my surprise the quality of the food for this place was DISRESPECTFUL to not only the Birthday Girl, but also her guest. Everyone in attendance was shocked regarding the amount of food being served due to knowing the person throwing the party. As an individual that cares deeply for this person, I was so upset that her night was being brought down by the mere tally of every cup of water/tea being charged to her post account. How dare such a money hungry person charge what I later found out her pre-party price charged was for 3hrs and no drinks to be included.. And her food was being served on a saucer not a dinner plate. We were served bland jambalaya (rice/sausage) not truly jambalaya, meatballs were tasteless, and the 2 drumettes that were served either fried or grilled, not a real grill drumette (tyson frozen).. Please Do Not ever If you prefer a Quality Event plan a gathering At The Pelican House in Duncanville, Tx...

My husband and I ate delicious gumbo, fried fish, shrimp and oysters!
Their stuffed shrimp is amazingly tasty and all of their fried seafood is great!
Also tried their peach cobbler, it was excellent!

I love this place. It was our first time here and everything was great. The service was amazing. The drinks were perfect. The food was that Cajun taste thats unbeatable. Everything is cooked to order so be prepared to wait but it’s worth it. I was worried about the prices AT FIRST but the service, portion, and food quality are worth the price. And it’s really not too unreasonable. We paid like $19-25 per plate. I wish I took pics but the food was too good to wait

It was my first time visitng this resturant. I was greeted promptly and warmly upon entering the resturant by Lou. The resturant is clean and soft music set the tone. I instantly felt relaxed. I had the stuffed shrimp appetizer. The shrimp tasted extremely fresh and it was very good. My main course was the crawfish etouffee. I felt like I was eating my family's house back home in New Orleans. It was great. I finished off with beignets. They were delicious. It truly felt like the soul of Louisiana; NOLA to be exact. Thank you for bringing a peace of NOLA to Texas. I will be back.

It was a below expectation experience.
The Sunday brunch was far from their weekday menu. Not seafood dishes. Turkey neck, turkey patties, some kind of chicken. Jambalaya that was interesting, the menu said white navy beans but was actually lima beans, like 3 the rest was the soup or rue with a box of salt.
And the salad bar. I have no words except if you are less than 5' tall you might need assistance getting to it.
Plastic plates and cutlery.
The service staff are very accommodating and friendly. It is a quaint atmosphere 8 to 10 tables.
For a home style meal it could be your place only if you are in the area.
