The most elite restaurant for seafood, but there's choices they give you for steak is better than Texas roadhouse fresh choice steaks.

Last night we took my mother in law to Pelican's for an early Mother's Day dinner. It was amazing as usual. From the grilled oysters appetizers, to the salad, to the main course, everything was perfection!! Our server River was adorable and as sweet as could be. My only complaint was that my shrimp brouchette was a tad salty for my taste but other than that it was delicious! We will DEFINITELY be back and may even get a to go order every now and then read more

Good service, great steaks, all around good vibes. Awesome happy hour. I would recommend.

Came here with some friends after a event. The service was slow, but the waitress was nice. The room and dinning areas is dark. We asked to move to another table, cleaned it ourselves and had dinner. I ordered fried fish, it was crispy, but it was salty. The loaded back potato was alright, but the cheese never really cold, so never melted. I don't come here too often, but i had good conversation with some awesome ladies for dinner while we were in the restaurant. read more

The oyster appetizer was delicious and a must try is the complimentary bread and garlic cloves butter which danced on my tongue! We split the catfish dinner and it was perfect. Atmosphere and service were excellent. read more

We went to Pelican's for our anniversary. We were not disappointed. The food is always delicious and it's always cooked perfectly. I had the filet with a baked potato and my wife had the Hawaiian chicken with grilled shrimp and baked potato. I wish my grilled shrimp was as delicious as theirs Highly recommend and we will definitely return read more

Went for my birthday. Thought it was a fine dining restaurant based on the reviews and the always-packed parking lot. Was very surprised the food was just meh and my plate arrived with cold rice pilaf. Went again for take-out fried zucchini and it was so soggy and limp due to the packaging being closed and the zucchini being completely steamed inside. Not worth it either time, and won't go back. read more

We visit pelicans at least once every other week. The food is just that good! My favorite is the scampi, but the salmon is good too. And talk about portions! You receive bread (although I wish they'd choose another bread) with garlic and butter, a soup or salad (the gumbo is DIVINE), and your entree which usually includes a side plus you get to select a second side. It's absolutely phenomenal. Service can be a little iffy, especially when calling in for reservations, but I will chalk that up to how busy the place is. I also know it must be hard to pleasant all the time, although it is important in a customer facing business. I wish they were open on Sundays, but I'm sure they have their reasons - perhaps to give staff a day off, but I can imagine they wouldn't be just as busy that day. Inside gives off ship vibes, which I'm sure is what they're aiming for. Definitely not fine dining in terms of ambiance, but fine dining in terms of food? Absolutely Oh and GET THE CALAMARI. It is delicious when hot read more

Wonderful service, great food and pleasant ambiance. The restaurant could use some attention to cleanliness. Otherwise, overall experience was good. Definitely coming back. read more

Great Food and atmosphere! Michael was an amazing waiter and all of his recommendations were amazing! 10/10 recommend!

We took a couple to the Pelicans last Friday. We were promptly seated in a booth that we requested. The ambiance was nice, but unfortunately for us a large and loud group was sitting near us. As the evening progressed the noise level got louder. Our Server was very efficient and took our orders We ordered mushrooms for an appetizer. It was quite tasty and served hot with ranch dressing to dip them in. 3 of us ordered the beef teriyaki. 1 of the party had the vegetable medley, all the food arrived hot and tasted great. I recommend this place. I wish they were open for lunch! The manager came by two times and asked how everything was. I recommend this restaurant! read more

I was surprised at the quality and quantity of food that was prepared for us. The atmosphere was just right with the noise level being a little on the low side. Our server always kept our drinks full and was very professional and friendly. Thank you pelicans for a wonderful meal and experience. read more

My husband and I were given gift cards to Pelican's. We were actually really excited to try out this restaurant. We had heard so many good reviews from our friends and family. We went for an early dinner and were seated immediately. The dining area was a little smaller than we were expecting. There was a big group next to us and a few other diners surrounding us. Our server was very attentive and friendly. My husband ordered the ribeye and I ordered the Hawaiian chicken. We had bread and olive oil to start with while waiting for our meal. We enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant, but the taste of the meals were lacking. As other reviewers have mentioned, I was expecting more than an okay meal for what the meals cost. Overall, our dining experience was good. We would not come back and spend our own money here. Honestly, I'm just convinced this is a status restaurant, where business meetings occur and people bring their clients to impress them. Which good for them, but it's not for us. read more

Made a reservation for Thursday evening for my birthday! Arrived a bit before the time checked in and waited about 10mims for a table to clear. The service from Gilberto was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the food and palate's and recommended some great appetizers. We tried the smoked salmon dip and fried mushrooms My dinner was flavorful and seasoned well and the beef kabobs was tender. I enjoyed my French martini and it paired well with my meal! read more

We came in under reservations for my husband's birthday. Our wait time was minimal, about 10 minutes. Kirstin was our waitress and did everything perfectly fine. Gave us a "market price list " upon request I was ready for some seafood. While we were waiting, had our cocktails brought to us. I was getting a chill from the a/c vent overhead. Sitting there waiting for the a/c to cycle off but it just kept running. I called our waitress over asked her if it would be possible for her to ask the manager to raise the temperature in the room. I explained that my scallops would get cold before I could finish and at market price ($45) I wanted to enjoy them. Hanna, the manager was very accommodating to me. My dinner experience was at a comfortable temperature. Thank you so much!! I would like to mention that the water was tasting like it was filtered through the sink drain or maybe there was a residue from the dishwasher. I started with a glass of ice was which tasted nasty. I changed it to a glass of club soda which I think comes from a dispenser which tasted moldy. I finished off with a bottle of sparkling water Overall we had a nice dinner. Hubby's rib eye was cooked to perfection. My scallops and baked potato were delicious. Even the house cab was pretty good. read more

Michael was an amazing waiter! He went above and beyond to give us a fun and fabulous fine dining experience! The oysters were fresh and cleaned perfectly. I've never had better. My steak was supreme and tender. The lobster was soft and perfect - no butter needed! The honey roasted Brussels sprouts were delicious! Fresh mushrooms that were soft and juicy. All the flavors were delectable! read more

I came here for a work dinner on a weekday evening. The place is quaint and nice environment. The drinks were okay/standard quality. The appetizers were mid grade. We had seared ahi tuna appetizer that was worth mentioning. The entree was just okay as well. I had ribeye. It was very disappointing especially for the price point. The flavor was sub par. I tried my coworkers catfish and it was also just okay. Nothing worth coming back for. The service was great, our waitress was helpful and accommodating. She seemed like she knew a lot of the regulars there. Overall it's a great place to gather in a small town, but u probably won't be back unless it's a work funded event. read more

Based on their menu prices and some online photos I thought Pelican's would've been a really good restaurant but I was left a bit disappointed. Upon arriving I noticed they had plenty of parking and that it must've been busy based on the availability of spots. Once inside, it did seem very busy but it's because it's pretty tight up front which is where their bar is. The bar has very little seating but I'm assuming they're better known for their table service. I ordered a whiskey sour which was just made with sour mix and whiskey, I wasn't expecting anything fancy but considering they have pappy's, just using sour mix and a regular cherry and not making it with egg whites is a disservice. The bread provided was as hard as a baseball bat and was more like a long cracker. I had some raw oysters which were pretty tasteless and extra slimy. For my entree I had the filet with a loaded baked potato. The filet was pretty tasty and cooked to the perfect temp but the potato didn't even have the cheese melted. For a place that has $40/$50+ steaks I expected a bit more. Staff was friendly and casual but could've been a bit more attentive. read more

I was in town for work and asked what a good restaurant would be to visit while in the area and this place was mentioned. I am so glad i came in. We had a few of us from work that met up there at 5 which was happy hour. They had lots to offer on the happy hour menu and I got a Tito's martini. The bartender did a great job, it was very good! I ordered one the specials they featured - hot honey salmon with Brussels sprouts and it was so good. The salmon was cooked perfectly and i have never had Brussel sprouts so good and so crispy. The Inside was super clean, service was very attentive. Can't wait to come back. read more

We were happy with the food. Disappointed with the service. Ordered the raw oysters. We usually order oysters at other places and these were ok. There are so many different types and we usually get blue points. They needed hot sauce to be palatable. We were not offered hot sauce. We also had to ask for plates for our oysters because they weren't offered. Our server seemed annoyed and kind of an ass for the entire meal. We saw other people get their bread before us, I had to get up and walk to the expo line to ask someone for bread. Server came back with a condescending tone and speech about how he was "on top of everything ". Server did not clear plates until he brought the next course and had no where to drop them. The smoked salmon was great. The lobster tail was huge. The chicken with mushrooms was delicious. We come for the beignets when we are in town and can make it here. It was $200 for 4 people which was fine but the manager spoke to the table next to us and never checked on us. Gilberto was quick to pick up the check but never thanked us or said goodbye. In fact we saw him again when we were leaving and he turned around and went to the kitchen instead of saying goodbye. I will never want to sit in Gilberto's section if I come back here. When did 20% for bad service become not enough? read more

Great atmosphere. Great Service. Great food. I will definitely be back. Had steak and potato. Really good food.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Wichita Falls, TX. My favorite entree is the Hawaiian Chicken. Yum!!!! I could make a meal on the bread and roasted garlic in oil and butter! read more

They weren't joking when they said that everything is bigger in Texas. The portions at Pelican's stood out to me, as I really struggled to finish my meal due to the quantity of food I got. I wanted some seafood when I was in Wichita Falls and Pelican's offers a good variety of it. Their menu is pretty extensive, so it has all the classic options of a steak/seafood restaurant. It's definitely on the higher end in town when it comes to price, but that makes sense considering the options. I would highly consider Pelican's if one was looking for a nicer meal while in Wichita Falls. read more

The service and some of the food was good but what I was upset by is that the catfish was not real catfish. I asked the waiter before ordering and she assured me it was real catfish but it actually turned out to be swai. Other than that everything else was good but that's false advertisement read more

I had a reservation at 9pm. The person on the phone let me know that I could try to come in earlier and get seated earlier. I came at 7:40 and was told there was no reservation but could still be seated around 8:30/9pm. People without reservations are being sat easily. The girls upfront are just on their phones giggling. When they are answering the restaurant phone, they will put you on hold and laugh. If you're calling, they're more than likely laughing at you without you knowing. We continuously had to ask for updates. It's currently 9:30pm and still haven't been seated. read more

Came to Pelican's steakhouse for dinner with coworkers. Had a great experience overall. My 12 oz ribeye steak was $33. It was a tasty steak that was cooked correctly, so I was very happy with that. The steaks include your choice of a side. I went with the grilled veggies, which were mostly broccoli and carrots. They were flavorful and delicious as well. I believe most steaks are offered at Market Price (MP). Pelican's is a great choice if you're looking for steakhouse fare. read more

This was one of the best meals I've had in a while! Ruben was my server and he was very sweet. He was attentive and also very friendly when giving recommendations. I was dining alone on a Saturday around 5pm and was seated immediately! If I'm ever in Witchita Falls again, I'll be coming back! read more

Pelican's - Shrimp Brochette with Loaded Baked Idaho Potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Wichita Falls, Texas

Started the meal with the delicious, melt in your mouth Shanghai calamari. Fresh bread came with creamy butter and spreadable roasted garlic. Blended margarita with salted rimmed glass hot the spot. A relatively large side salad and everything beforehand made me full so only ate a small bite of my entree, a thick medium slow aged prime rib and gigantic loaded potato. Food was delicious, our waitress (Jaime) was very attentive and made sure to check on us from time to time to see if we needed anything. I will say to come early or make reservations. Being that it was our first time here, I don't know if it was because it was prom night but the place got pretty full shortly after opening at 5pm...we got there a few minutes after opening and the parking lot was pretty full already! read more

Ran across this restaurant by accident. I just wanted to go somewhere new. I was pleasantly surprised. I had been walking and was wearing cutoffs and flip flops and was afraid I was underdress, but there were many others dressed casually. The service was good. Our table was a bit small. There were two of us and our plates were so big, it was difficult to eat. We had the home made chips with blue cheese dressing and crumbles. They were great. I had oysters on the 1/2 shell. I'm from the gulf coast and was slightly skeptical about the freshness, but they were fresh and good. I also had the seared ahi tuna from the starters section on the menu and it was a large piece of tuna and very good as well. My daughter had the grilled shrimp and had the New England clam chowder and a loaded baked potato. She said it was good as well. Nice atmosphere, good service, overall a pleasant experience. However, the only negative was the table read more

Loved the espresso martini's! I ordered scallops and steak but my steak was overcooked to my liking, medium well. The calamari was delicious! We will be back again but I'll order my steak different to see if it helps. read more

This was our first time in Wichita Falls and decided to check Yelp on where to dine and I'm glad we did. IF we are ever back there, we'll definitely return! read more

Place was packed but the service was still good. Facilities were nice and clean. The bread with fresh roasted garlic, the loaded baked potato, and the zucchini fries were all fantastic! I also enjoyed my French martini! The salmon flatbread just wasn't for me. It was OK but I'm not a huge salmon fan. I ordered it because it was recommended by another patron. read more

I'd first liked to say that this restaurant is a good place to just eat and relax. The amount of food was crazy though! My husband and I ordered the steak and lobster, the sauces were amazing and the steak was cooked just right (medium rare). We had so much food left over if covered for our lunches the next day! Pros - kid friendly, cozy dark environment, friendly waiter & amazing food. Cons - no military discount, hostess seemed inpatient and demanding. read more
