I've been to the Pickled Pelican several times, and last night was the last straw. I'm baffled at how poor the seafood is. This is Florida. We live within 2 hours of some of the best fishing in the world and yet this place makes you think you might be in North Dakota. OK so they have bad seafood, wouldn't... More

NOT a good dining experience! Took 40 mins to get our food and it was COLD. The server took it back and we received a warm meal within 10 mins. The food was NOT good.

Service was given with a friendly greeting and smiles. The food is good. I had the shrimp on one trip and a bacon cheeseburger on another. I have not been... More
