Reviews for Pelican Landing in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Based on the reviews I was hoping for some delicious food. Instead I found the food average and the ratings overhyped. Chicken... wings delivered with sauce when we asked for no sauce, delaying one persons meal by 20 minutes. Happy hour and the patio werethe best part of the experience. Ordered fish tacos, crab cake slider and chicken wings. Read more

The food was great and our server Alexa was amazing. She was doing it all. The bartender called off so it was just her and the... chef. She did such a great job with a full patio and all with a smile on. We will definitely be back. It's worth noting thatthere is a very large Yacht that does block your view of the waterway so your view may vary. Good happy hour with half off wine,beer, and cocktails from 3 I believe until 6. It would have been a 5 if we would have had a better view. Read more

Came to Pelican Landing on a friend's recommendation for a good lunch spot near the water in Ft. Lauderdale and I WAS NOT... dissapointed! For what it is (a waterfront restaurant), it gets 5/5 stars First tip: when you look this place up on GoogleMaps, it looks like it's in the middle of the water...don't let that deter you, this place is worth the short trek. It'saccessible via the piers right near the Pier 66 hotel so I would go to the Pier 66 Hotel and then signs will direct you where togo. We arrive on a Saturday around 12:30 to ample seating availability. We sat right on the water to a beautiful view of theStranahan River and the Lauderdale Harbors. Definitely try and sit on the water. VIBES: Waterfront vibes. You can't help butfeel relaxed while sitting here. FOOD: My friend recommended I get the fish tacos, as did the waitress, so I didn't have muchchoice in the matter...the fish tacos were getting ordered. It's not too big of a menu (which I like) but they have a variety ofsurf options (given that we are in South Florida) and some turf options. The fish tacos came with 2 to the order and with largepieces of fish, topped with cabbage slaw and pickled vegetables. The side sauce was fire as well so top it with that. You havethe option of fries, sweet potato fries, and a side salad and given my gluttonous eating the week before I came here, I optedfor the side salad not expecting much (maybe some romaine lettuce with some tomatoes). However, I was pleasantly surprised! Thesalad came with a base of mixed greens, spiced cashews, mangos, and shredded coconut with a mango vinaigrette. WOW! I know itmay be an unpopular opinion to order the side salad, hey I rarely order salads when I'm out because I eat them so much at home,but do it! All this filled me up and I have a pretty big appetite. Next time I am in Fort Lauderdale, I will definitely becoming back to the Pelican Landing. Read more

It is a fun place, live music and wonderful view. My Margarita was just ok but the food was delicious. We had the Pork Ropa... Vieja with tostones to start, I had the fish tacos with salad and my husband had the Mahi Mahi, we had a good time with friends. Read more

The view is fabulous, basically you wouldn’t miss a boat passing a river fantastic! I got a blackened fish of a day (red... snapper) and loved it. But I guess that they are a little under staff and won’t check on you much, I had to wait a bit morethan I expected to order my food, and I don’t recommend their drinks it’s just no delicious like they don’t have aprofessional bartender.

Expensive. Nice views. Outdoor dining Beautifully situated on a dock among mega yachts in the marina. Food is good but on the... pricier side. Come for the seafood although the more pedestrian dishes shine. Think fish tacos and conch fritters over themarket price catch of the day. There are kids choices off menu - hot dogs, chicken tenders and fries. Validates parking. Listedas a good option for kids but the pulsating techno beat was overwhelming for our kids. Read more

Unique location,spectacular view,good food on the intracoastal. Super kind and friendly staff, every time. Little tricky to find... if you’re not from the area, just need to walk out to the end of the pier. Upper level is not handicap accessible, there’s asteep stairwell on the side of the building. The location is so spectacular, It can make even a bad day good. It feel likeyou’ve dining on,the upper level of a super yacht! Make sure you have your parking ticket validated by the waitress or waiter. Read more
