Pelicans has one of the best salad bars around and their French onion soup is one of the staples. Just did the soup and salad bar and there was plenty to eat. Fresh vegetables and fruits along with some pasta salad and other items. It's a self serve all you can eat type set up and they really keep it very well replenished. Back in the day it was one of the premier places in Midwest city. It's still one of the nicer ones in the area so check them out. Locally owned and operated.

This is the trio 3 items Combination Platter
Waukesah T.

Our server provided exceptional and attentive service, even though it was close to closing time, which we truly appreciated. We started with the appetizer platter, which included calamari, mozzarella sticks, and stuffed mushrooms. Everything was cooked fresh and i would easily rate a 10/10. However, the house-made marinara sauce was quite disappointing, it lacked flavor and was the least enjoyable I had. For our entrées, I ordered the grilled shrimp served with a bed of rice and fries. My partner chose the combination platter, shrimp, salmon and blackened catfish which unfortunately did not live up to expectations. The portion size did not match the price point, and the blackened catfish was particularly disappointing.see pic below Overall, while the service and appetizer were outstanding, the entrées left room for improvement. I would rate our overall experience a 7 out of 10.

Shrimp Scampi
Pallas J.

Ordered the shrimp scampi. It's literally just shrimp in butter (does not come with pasta like traditionally prepared elsewhere). The loaded baked potato is great. The salad bar is nice and has a lot of options; the ranch was pretty good. The bread roll was a little tough and the butter is traditional whipped. They have Pepsi products, which is nice. The chicken tenders are okay. We were recommended the stuffed sol, but did not try it. Everything is overpriced significantly. The atmosphere is nice (moody, seashack).

Pelican Fried Shrimp
Jerome M.

We haven't eaten here in a long time but we heard they bought back their beer battered shrimp so we had to go try it. We were really impressed with the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The shrimp are large and perfectly cooked. Their cocktail sauce is wonderful. The loaded baked potato was not overcooked and they are generous with the toppings, very good. The salad bar, Which comes with your meal, is expansive and everything looked fresh and tasted great. We each had an appetizer fried calamari and fried mushrooms which were both very good. I definitely recommend you give Pelicans a try

Salad to start...

Still a full on five freakin' stars for this place! Had the chance to get the stuffed sole this time and it was pretty fabulous. The lady and I brought my parents in this time for a lunch visit. Mom smashed the hamburger which was a bit of a surprise (it's a full half pound of burger). Dad enjoyed the soup and salad which is an on point lunch time choice. The lady enjoyed the grilled shrimp again and had zero complaints. This place is very much on our list of favorite places to eat when we go out at this point. There's a big menu so I'm thinking of what I'll have on our next visit. I'm thinking an evening visit to sit at the bar and enjoy that atmosphere.

Catfish!

Love this place! It's a classic for me and my gf, they have Pepsi products, a great early bird special (2-6 is a special menu that comes with the salad bar) Service is perfectly acceptable; it has the vibe of people who are doing a job, which is so refreshing when everywhere else is so fake. Great food!

We have been eating for years at Pelicans. Tonight was very busy but still great service. I ordered Hawaiian chicken which was great. Others ordered fish which they said was good. They are known for the salad bar that came with our meals. Starters are cold plate, crisp lettuce with all the trimmings plus more. Everything you can think of even beets, peppers, pickles, mushrooms, peas, beans. Soup comes with it also but definitely needs to be hotter. Loaf of bread is served with meal to top it all off. A nice local place to visit.

This restaurant is a special place. The hubby and I ended up in OKCity on the way back from…read moreMissouri. I was delighted to find out that our hotel was only 2 miles from this highly acclaimed restaurant. Upon entering, I immediately felt the welcoming atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by the host. The inside is lovely, modern and well laid out. It's perfect for date night or hanging with friends. The host chatted with us, explained the restaurant concept, and answered all my questions. We got the Baked Chèvre for our appetizer. It was layered with flavor and a most delicious and perfect bite for a cold evening. My entree was the Rainbow Trout. The fish had crispy skin and was moist, flaky, and well seasoned. The broad bean mixture served with it was equally delicious. The hubby had Honey Roasted Lavender Chicken which he declared to be one of the best chicken dishes he's ever had. He even raved over the vegetables that came with it. Of course I also had to try dessert. I loved my warm spice cake with a scoop of ice cream and swirls of buttery caramel rum sauce. The cake was so moist and paired perfectly with the sauce and ice cream. Our wait staff was friendly and professional. I forgot to jot down names so I could give them a shout out. Excellent staff is always a part of an excellent dining experience. This was just a delightful experience. The host even gave us the name of some nearby live music venues that we enjoyed later that evening. We will certainly return here the next time we are in OKC. If you are ever in the city, make a reservation and stop by for a fabulous experience.
