The Pelican Reef Restaurant

The restaurant sits on a marina, which is a very lovely view and provides a nice breeze. I would recommend sitting outside. They play a lot of music from the 1970s through the 1980s, which provides a really good vibe for the place. The service was excellent and knowledgeable. I ordered the Seafood Platter: cup of seafood gumbo, fried shrimp, fried crab claws, fried grouper, and oysters. Unfortunately, there is no ability to substitute for anything you don't want. However, the waitress was kind enough to remove the oysters from the plate. The gumbo was hearty, warm, and deliciously spicy with pieces of shrimp. The fried seafood was delicious as well, tasty breading and a good selection of their seafood. I ordered the most delicious seasonal dessert. The Lemondrop Cheesecake is so lemony and creamy with a perfect Graham cracker crust. I only wish I had taken a second slice to go! The meal totaled to $36.91, which I think is a very reasonable price for the food I received. I would definitely return to this place.

We went as a family out to eat here and the service was amazing. They made us feel like valued guest. They were super helpful and informative about the menu. The food was amazingly good. We had a variety of meals but the Grouper was the best in my opinion. This is an amazing place to take your family. Thanks for being an example of what southern hospitality is.

I have lived in Mobile for years and have passed this restaurant many many times on The way to the island. Today we stopped and it was NOT a disappointment. The server Jess was totally awesome and the food was AMAZING. We have a large family and they was able to accommodate all 9 of us. The portions was plentiful and tasted great. We will definitely be back!

Inside smelled like smoke. Think it was coming from the bar. Great views. Service was just ok. We had a big party but they managed it well. Burger and fried shrimp were great. Do not recommend the coleslaw something off with the consistency. It was slimy. House salad was tiny- like child size.

Been a while since we ate at the Pelican Reef. Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We had the stuffed jalapeno peppers, they were the highlight of the meal, well definitely order them again the next time we there. I had a shrimp shrimp poor boy, it tasted ok with about 8 shrimp and bread was warm and soft and toasted. Wife had the fried grouper, she said it was good. She said she would order it again. Nice atmosphere good view of the water. Waitress could have been a little more attentive never got a refill on my drink. Price wasn't bad.
