My first (and last) time eating here… A picture is worth a thousand words. We ordered a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, Chicken Tenders and Fries. This is what was given to us… the fries were good… the Chicken Tenders were like hard hockey pucks… and well, that sandwich may have been alright IF it had more than a literally pinch of meat on it. But I definitely wouldn’t consider this sandwich to be a Philly Cheese Steak… those sandwiches are piled high with meat, onions, peppers, mushrooms and melted cheese!! Just saying. And the customer service could really use improvement. Cute little dinning room area though.

I saw a review on a facebook group and then watched the youtube video on this place.Never knew it existed all the time that i’ve come through melrose. After seeing the amazing burgers hot dogs and sausages, you know, we had to try it
And we got there shortly after they opened for lunch. As their open for breakfast, then there is an hour gap. Where they are closed, and then they reopen 11 o’clock for lunch.
We ordered a few different items. Some nachos, a sausage dog, a hot dog and then my double Smashburger, which now holds the title of My TOP BURGER spot!! It is a must have!!! They have all kinds of toppings. I chose lettuce tomato and onion. .The burger was huge!!
It is a short ride from gainesville, and so worth it!! The girls that took our order where friendly and waited patiently while my wife ordered as the menu.So diverse, it took a min to figure out what she wanted.
The décor and the feeling you get when you’re sitting in there, feel like you’re at the beach with all the beachy stuff hanging on the wall.

Best hole in the wall in town! Best bang for buck. You can taste every red cent in all the food. Bit small indoor area but it gives it that cute small town feel. Had a nice conversation with the table next to us while we waited. Service , price and quality are all 10/10 make sure you take time to pull in and try something new.

I love this place. I take my daughter here when she deserves a nice reward for good behavior. The ladies have always been nice to me and especially Jessica. I haven’t been able to try a burger yet but their lemonade, hot dogs, ice cream, shaved ice is amazing. I recommend the Frozen Pelican to anybody

This is now my goto place for a damn good burger. They have a good variety of toppings for thier burgers. I had a triple with lettuce tomato grilled onions and pineapple. The burger was huge and took all I had to eat it. The fries were crispy crinkle cut with just enough salt. I also had a shaved ice that was very good and it was the first one that I’ve ever had that had flavor all the way to the bottom. The staff was very friendly and added to a great experience.

New to Florida from Philadelphia and been searching for good food places. The frozen pelican was amazing. Food quality and quantity to the prices. Will definitely be a repeating customer. Smash burgers are my favorite from here.

I love The Frozen Pelican! They have the best smash burgers and my wife loves their peli – cheese steak!
The smash burgers are full of flavor and juicy, I recommend the double queso burger, my favorite the way cheese and crispy onions go together , a large side of taters and don’t forget a lemonade, hello sunshine flavor!!
Forget the other burger spots in town. This is IT! 10/10

Such a happy place to eat! The owner/chef personally delivers your meal and checks back to make sure it was exactly what you ordered. The smash burgers are our new favorite! HUGE handmade burger with all the toppings for $5. The Peli Cheesesteak Nachos are a close second. Finish off your meal with hand dipped ice cream!

I literally just discovered this place a week ago and my husband and I have ordered three times since. We just ” accidentally” keep forgetting to take out meat to thaw for dinner some nights. This place is PHENOMENAL! I call in our order everytime and Jessica is such a sweetheart. She’s great!!! I wish their debit screen had an option to add a tip I get the dirty dog combo and my husband gets the smash burger combo and they’re both AMAZING!!! Best chili dog and chili tots I’ve ever had. We will be lifelong customers now lol! I’m excited to try their flavored lemonades and shaved ice!! I hope this gem stays around for a long time.

I do not write reviews often, but this place is in my hometown, and it deserves recognition. I’ve only ordered from here twice, but both times I have been satisfied! The amount of food you receive, the pleasant customer service, I can’t really speak on the atmosphere, because my orders were to go. I’m assuming it’s also nice, because I just left from there, and it was packed. Sometimes when you get a to-go order from a restaurant, your food looks thrown together. I have not had that experience here. And the price is right. The only thing that I’m upset about, is that I waited so long to try them.
