    We enjoy every meal here. Best hamburger around. Server attentive, good drinks, nice atmosphere..

    I thought Baxter's would have some great crab cakes. Unfortunately they did not catch my wife's eye. I was thinking about the grouper, but decided on the ribeye. This was a great steak on the shore. The fish sandwich was too greasy. We looked at desserts, and decided to go elsewhere. The service was ok. I found that this was one of the closest restaurants to where we are staying. Great for a rainy day.

    Meh . . It's just average. Not Great, Not terrible. I was a little surprised when I was able to get a 7:00 reservation during the insanity that IS the Amelia Island Concourse recently. Most of the great, good and even the just ok restaurants are packed due to the enormous influx of people this weekend. The building looks pretty decent from the outside and displays a sign saying the Best steaks in the area. Once you get inside it starts to drop off. It's a bit run down looking and the bar looks like something from a 1970's sitcom. It's casual to the point of being rough. Regarding the food, Fresh bread - really good Onion soup - ok but somewhat bland Caesar salad - pretty good Baked potato - dried out Green beans - overcooked Steak - decent They do have a full bar but the craft beer options are quite limited and a brief look at the wine list was underwhelming. Normally I would go into more detail regarding the food but my brief description tells you all you need to know. I was confused by the wide variance in reviews but I find that in the end, the 3 star rating is pretty much right where it should be.

    Great service and pricing. Restaurant is very casual for a nice steakhouse. Lot of food. Don't think I would go back though.

    My tongue is so happy! Yelpland people, do yourself a solid, order the French dip and onion rings,…read moresee if Jada can serve them. You will not be disappointed! Seriously, the best French dip ever, absolutely no fat, the au juice was spot on, onion rings were so flavorful I would have smacked the hands if anyone trying to steal them. We also ordered the chicken tenders, very good indeed, But, we will be back for the French dip, tomorrow send the next day and the next day

    We really enjoyed our time at the Salty Pelican Bar & Grill. We took a day trip from Jacksonville…read moreto Amelia Island- and this came up as a recommendation when doing some research, and boy am I glad I went. It was quite packed and busy during lunch time, so recommend getting a reservation. I wasn't sure of our itinerary and so we didn't make one- but were able to call and get seating. We were sat outside on the deck- and it was BEAUTIFUL! Nice view of the water and nice breeze to combat the heat and humidity. Our waitress was working with another waitress but she was kind- I did notice that a table sat after us was serviced first- and it was a bit hard to wave her down to get refills and things, but they were very busy. We got their fish and chips after a regular there had recommended it- it was also their special of the day, along with hush puppies, calamari, and my brother got the chicken Caesar wrap. Food was delicious!
