We’re out of towners and was suggested this place by a coworker who lives near Nashville. Sat at the counter and it was fun watching the chefs cook. Food was amazing. We were told to order the corn ribs and they did not disappoint. The beef tartare was a generous portion. Salmon was perfectly cooked.

Really, really solid food done exceptionally well. Everything was very good to excellent. The corn is a must try for certain and the steak was cooked perfectly. The only thing we would not order again was the focaccia as it was just ok. Just to add to this our server was excellent she was timely, not overly pushy very well informed and made great recommendations for us first timers.
Will go back.

We came here because several people in the community recommended it because they fired food on real wood.
We were not disappointed at all. There’s only three chefs, and we sat at the chef’s bar.
We ordered oysters, the corn ribs, ribeye and charred peas.
Well it came out of order. It was redeemed by the fact that the food was absolutely amazing and this is coming from a self-proclaimed foodie.
Alex was our server and he was amazing and because the food came out of order, he comped us fresh home-baked cookies with milk jam.
Everything was absolutely delicious and I can’t wait to come back!.

This place is a hidden gem. We stayed in East Nashville for a week and this was by far the best place we dined at. The server was so attentive, she noticed a fly on the window bothering me and killed it with a napkin. We ordered the cauliflower and kale salad to eat with our main dishes. For the entrees I ordered the heritage pork and my wife order the prime ny strip. The flavors on all the dishes were spectacular. My only gripe was the lack of salt on the cauliflower, which was an easy fix. I’ve never had pork chops and New York steak taste so tender. I recommend medium cook on each of those. The service was impeccable! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for good food that is not fried southern food or fine dining. This is the perfect medium. Bravo!

We had heard good things about pelican and pig but we were somewhat disappointed. The food was definitely not bad but it took so long between everything we ordered that it was a two hour meal because everything comes out separately. We had steak and the pork chop with a few sides. They food was okay but not worth the money in my opinion. Something else to note is that since everything is cooked over open flame it is VERY hot inside the restaurant.

We ordered, tartar, mussels, Brussels, corn ribs, and the pork chop. Each one was uniquely distinct and delicious but it didn’t taste like a cohesive meal. We kept comparing it to the judges table on Top Chef, each item individually was delicious but together it was a little disjointed. I would have loved a chef’s tasting menu to get a series of flavors built by an expert chef instead of us just picking randomly. Overall, great flavors and we will be back!

We came for our first time and had an incredible experience! We stopped in right before the big dinner rush and the atmosphere was inviting!
Our server Ian was incredibly attentive and very personable.
The food was fantastic! Our favorite item on the menu was the phyllo, feta, fermented honey dish, it has a little kick, but was one of the most unique dishes I’ve had in a while! We also enjoyed the baked oyster and the kale/broccoli dish. Our entrees were the strip steak and the salmon that were both delightful!
We would highly recommend Pelican & Pig and will be returning soon!

Most juicy tender pork chop I’ve had. Great combinations of flavors. Couldn’t find any flaw with our meal other than the amazing smoke getting into my eyes

Everything came out great! The staff was very attentive to my gluten free needs. The corn ribs were really good. The steak was also perfectly done. Anything with creme fresh is yummy in my book.

The food was amazing, every dish from shareables to the dessert was delicious. We had the corn ribs, winter squash, nyc steak, ribeye, cookies and cheesecake. One of the best restaurants in Nashville!
