We’re not just a restaurant. . . We’re an institution. Pelican Alley was established in 1981, but the history of the building begins many years earlier. Built in the 1900s as a fish camp, it morphed into a local bar and boat rental, and then to the Admiral’s Wardroom. Through the years, it has become a favorite gathering spot for locals and a destination point for tourists. Our clientele has included the famous and the infamous. Local (and not so local) artists, writers and actors have been known to drop by to enjoy the food and the ambiance. Several ghost hunters have investigated our hauntings.
Light-filled spot on the water, doling out a mix of seafood favorites in casual environs.

On Black Friday, we enjoyed a special dinner in the courtyard of Pelican Alley Restaurant, where the owners, Tommy and Renee, are also a musical duo. Their performance was so professional and amazing!
The food was delicious, and the waitresses were not only incredibly patient and friendly, but they also performed a stunningly smooth dance on stage. Their versatility was truly admirable.
Although it was a winter night, the atmosphere was lively, and everyone danced to the beat of the music. We had a wonderful and happy time.

CRISPY factor 10! Juicy glistening fish cooked many different ways.
I got the deep fried grouper and DANG . A “must experience” spot with tons of parking and indoor or patio on the water dining as well. See the pelicans right there! So cool . This place won’t disappoint. Yummy food and great views of the birds. The lady who served us was so nice and told us of many daily special options for fish caught that morning. What ?! Give the pics and videos a look and get to this location. Bring the kiddies. ✌️

Incredible seafood chowder! I would come back just for a cup of it! That being said we also ordered the seafood nachos which were great. Our outside table was on the canal next to the drawbridge, which actually opened to allow a yacht to pass thru.
Very cool place – will be back for sure.

What a pleasant surprise! We go out to eat all of the time. I’m seldom, if ever, surprised….when you walk in, you are greeted with an absolutely adorable gift shop selling little trinkets for everyone in the family. And it’s nice things! I picked up a great hat that I know my husband will love (it’s a stocking stuffer). And some beautiful hand painted ornaments! Very fair pricing!
Now, on to the food, drinks, and service.
The drinks were outstanding. I usually get a draft beer because you just never know if they prepare drinks right. We’ll, next time, I will try one of the amazing drinks that our friends had.
Do you skip appetizers? Well, don’t!
If you’re a fan of onion rings – these might be the best ones you’ll ever eat-true story. Sprinkled with parmesean, they are tender, flakey, and flavorful. The lobsterflakes, also amazing, as were the stuffed mushrooms.
Dinner was a “win” all the way around. It really seems like you can’t miss here. Every item the group got was fantastic.
But, save room for dessert! Crunchy peppermint topped a delicately flavored chocolate pie that arrived chilled to perfection. It was a cross between pie & ice cream if you ask me! Absolutely yummy.
Now, finally, the service. This restaurant is small enough so that you feel like you’re eating with family but just large enough to give you an escape into a great dinning experience. Water views from just about everywhere and warm/friendly servers made this night out perfect! I’d gladly come here once a week! Clean, crisp colors and lighting that asserts just enough to see everything yet not overpowering the intended situation. Everywhere you look you’ll see whimsical decorations that didn’t clutter up the place. Instead, it helped to define the charming atmosphere. To say that this is a seafood restaurant doesn’t do it justice. Pelican Alley Restaurant is positively a diamond. A readily accessible gem. I can’t wait to try the entire menu when we are back in town!

We were walking our doggie to the beach when the bridge closed down for the boats. While waiting we noticed this restaurant and, because they allowed our doggie, we decided to have lunch on the patio. I ordered the seafood chowder soup which I did not photograph because I was hungry and the soup was so good. I also had a Guinness and fish tacos. The waitress brought out a water bowl for the doggie.

It’s a lucky day! Dolphin! When we sit down, we saw one dolphin appeared above the water. Amazing! A restaurant with a view! Nice waitress and nice food. Two yachts just outside. The old grandmas and grandpas went on board after lunch and sailed into the sunshine.

First time here! We were looking for a place walking distance from our hotel. We struck gold. Food was excellent. Jenny our waitress was great. Bacon Cheeseburger, fries, and Scallop Soprano was delicious. Cocktails were yummy. Can’t wait to go back.
