    Country eggs Benedict
    Jeff C.

    The eggs Benedict were tasty but WAY too little gravy. Flavor was quite good. Potatoes were very good. My friend had the crepes which were very tasty. Service was excellent.

    My dish avocado toast

    This is my favorite brunch restaurant, I go there to work, to relax, to socialize. I love the environment and above all the food and coffee. My favorite fiesta skillets and California Benedict ;) Definitely you should give it a try.

    I've been coming to this location for years and always enjoy the variety of brunch items they offer. This time, I visited around 11 AM on a Monday. It's a popular spot, so we waited about 5 minutes for a table. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they had expanded their seating area. The staff, as always, were friendly and efficient in serving our food. We appreciated the choice of sides and the generous portions of our scramblers. The restaurant was nicely decorated with Halloween themes. I'll definitely be back -- this is one of the best brunch spots in the area, in my opinion. Parking is easy since there's a parking lot.

    Lemon ricotta pancakes.  We opted out of the "supreme" which is a lemon glaze

    Rusty Pelicans is the classic brunch place in town. Been to the Edmonds location many times, but this one is much closer. We went early and was able to snag a 4-top without a wait. The place was packed, but we knew what we wanted. 1) Fiesta skillet with soft poached egg. This was really good once you load up the hot sauce. Only wish I had some avocado to go with it. 2) two eggs any style with bacon. I really think this place has one of the best bacon around town. Don't want to skip on this! 3) Strawberry and banana crepe. We ordered the half size and it was huge. However the kitchen kept messing up the order. Asked for tropical sauce on the side, but they covered it with the tropical sauce and gave the Nutella on the side. After it was remade, it came with no sauce, no whipped cream. Did not turn out to be enjoyable. Their lemon curd crepe was good in the past so our 10-year old had hopes for this and it was disappointing. 4) kids 1-egg breakfast. Solid and satisfying, My son asked for bacon, but got a sausage link instead, One thing to note is they do not have hash browns. More like lightly seared potatoes.,..hit or miss if they are crispy. If you are expecting hot/crispy potato then be warned you are at the wrong place. If you want a solid breakfast/brunch spot, this is the place. Overall, I will come back and hopefully it will go more smoothly then

    Crab beni
    Erik P.

    Recently stopped for breakfast with family. The resturant is spacious with a friendly vibe. The food was good. Had the crab Benedict. I would say the crab was a little bland. The rest of the dish was amazing. The best part of this restaurant is the staff. They where amazing. My kid didn't like her crepes and they where happy to replace with something else. Super friendly and helpful.

    Souvlaki Plate

    I know that yelp says they don't remove reviews, but I am 100% positive that I've left a five star review for Rusty pelican before. I remember writing it after I found out that they roasted their own coffee beans. Does anybody else have that problem? I noticed a review I wrote for a hotel has also been removed Anyhow, I had to get out of my house due to some remodeling going on, so I decided to take myself to lunch. I ended up at Rusty pelican and I am so glad I did. The chicken souvlaki was amazing. It was tender, flavorful, healthy, and it came with a Greek salad that was absolutely delicious. It was exactly what I was in the mood for and the serving was big enough that I could've easily shared it or made it dinner instead of lunch. Service was impeccable from the host to the girl who poured my water, to my server- I wish I got names, but honestly, everyone there was absolutely fantastic. I love that everything is made from scratch, too. It's a family run business and the kindest people. Exactly who you want to support.

    I ordered egg benedict and french toast. Staff checked on our table to make sure we have all we need. Very nice service.

    Cran-Marnier mimosa
    Dan D.

    A perfectly fine breakfast spot with food that won't ruin, or make, your day. The worst thing you could say about Rusty Pelican is that the food is not elevated. We went for a Sunday brunch and the dining room was perhaps 75% full. We got seated right away. When the cran-Marnier mimosa came out, my eyes told me it was made with fake juice and it was undermixed. Upon tasting it, it was all those things, but it nevertheless tasted inoffensive. On the other hand, I'd avoid the homemade buttered rum - way too rich as served; basically required me to mix in all the whipped cream to get it close to drinkable. I was far happier with the garden skillet: Eggs, potatoes, veggies, and a dense, moist biscuit. This was just hearty.

    Winter Specials Menu

    We came in for lunch about 1:30p and usually the service is prompt, friendly, and helpful but today even though we were seated quickly, it took quite a while for someone to bring water or check in at all. We asked the person who brought water what the soup of the day was and she said as she walked away "I don't know I'm not a server, they'll be with you soon." Even if you're not a server it seems like knowing the soup of the day would be something helpful to be aware of; it was lentil by the way. The ambience is classy casual with black and white decor. This was the first time I ordered hot chocolate (usually coffee for me) and it was good but it tasted exactly like Swiss Miss Marshmallow mix, complete with the tiny marshmallow floaty bits. I just expected a higher caliber of quality considering that of their other offerings and prices. The potato pancakes are exactly that, fried hash browns and they're perfect. The half sandwich and salad combo seemed a bit on the thin side, it left us feeling a bit flat and desiring.

    Wow! Awesome brunch spot after church on Sunday. There were so many things on the menu I wanted to order but alas I could only choose one. We are from out of state so I won't be able to try more. The French Toast was the bomb. Servers were fantastic and on top of everything. If I get back again I want to try the Gyro. Thanks!

    My favorite :) Hot chocolate with cinnamon cookie.
    Lestari ..

    I love the vibe and decoration here. It feels good. I think that is one of the reason I keep coming. For drink, I love their hot chocolate with the cinnamon cookie. The service is amazing. Every staff that passed by, they were courteous and asked if I need something to refill or simply check on me. (It's not like most places, only the assign server who would help). Thanks for the wonderful service. You guys worked as a team. The only downside for me is the price. Expensive. Wish it's not that expensive.

    Michael B.

    Great spot for brunch. I like how tastefully appointed the decor is. My young daughter repeatedly requests to go here for dates with me because the servers are always so kind to her. Seating capacity is generous now that they have expanded the restaurant into the adjacent space, making the ambiance more relaxed. The price is a tad steep, but the food quality rocks.

    Hillary P.

    Waited 30 mins to get a table. Busy place. The serve was nice and took our order quickly. The mimosa did not taste like there was alcohol in it, for $15. I'd like it to taste a bit stronger than just juice. The pelican cheese potatoes are perfection, definitely ordering those again. Their regular coffee by the cup is decent. The variety of baked goods they offer seems too similar to the free bread you get at the table. Very loud due to how popular it can be.
