Pesto Shrimp Pizza

Pro's: 1. Lake view 2. Boat docking 3. Live music 4. Their hours of operation 5. Parking plentiful 6. They accomodate large parties 7. Waitlist available on line 8. Pizza Con's: 1. Service (inconsistent) 2. Food (inconsistent) 3. It can be really loud- if that bothers you

Wait time was reasonable for a Friday night, service was great, atmosphere was loud and fun, beautiful views of the water, and food was great. Live music was great as well! Service was so great that when my partner lost his ring down the sink drain, the General manager (who happened to be at the bar) shot right up and did it with a smile on his face. We took my sister from out of state here and we will DEFINITELY be going back!

Good service and tasty food continue. On a Thursday night around 6:45, not too busy and got seated and ordered in under 5 minutes. I ordered the fish tacos and she had the salad with salmon on top. Food was tasty and hot. Eating on the lake is always nice. We will be back.

Nice view of the lake Lots of outside or covered places to eat. We got kids meal corn dog, adult grilled cheese, blt for desert you must have the milton lava cake or the funnel fries!

Nachos

It took me a while to come and eat here but I am so glad we did. The atmosphere is great, like being in the keys... very casual. Service from our waitress couldn't have been better and the food was pretty good too! We sat at a hightop next to the water, had a couple of drinks & watched people coming in and out with their boats. We ordered nachos, fish dip, potato skins & fish and chips (which we had fries and onion straws-YUM!) All were perfect. We will continue to be back and bring our guests from SoFla :-)

There are many places to eat by the lake but I particularly enjoy this place! Yes there is usually a wait but it's worth it and you can always grab a drink at the to go bar while your waiting. The food is really good and so is service ! Our server Bacon was awesome he recommended us to great drinks and the food came out fairly quickly. The live music was great as well! I have zero complaints about this place !

Go for the drinks & view, not so much for quality of food.

See all

Pelican Pete's - Nachos w/ guacamole

Pelican Pete's

(246 reviews)

Great food. Very friendly service. Amazing views. The frozen drinks are delicious. Fun live music!…read moreDefinitely one of my favorite spots on the water.

If you are coming during your boat day I'd give this place a 4, coming to it off of dry land... a 3…read moreprobably. Pelican Pete's being on the water and making it easy to dock your boat and come on up is suuuper convenient. Who wants to pack a lunch and make room in the cooler? Nobody. That definitely means this place gets busy though. So prepare yourself for possibly a long wait. Some friends and I visited Saturday afternoon. We put our names in for our group (10 of us) and had a wait of an hour. Not horrible. We took a bathroom break and hung out at the boat until it was our time. Pro- the bathroom was surprisingly clean! Con- only 3 stalls so there was a significant line. When we sat down we had to wait a bit to get our orders taken which was a little annoying but there were lots of people there so I'm sure our server was swamped. She was friendly. The food was pretty good! I liked the dock burger that I got. I loved the sauce they put on it, paired really well with the carmelized onions. Fries were awesome! And I loved the Lava Flow drink as well. The way they brought out our food was not the greatest. They had a food runner bringing the plates out and asking the whole table "who ordered the _____" and some of us ordered the same thing without an ingredient so that was a lot of fun for a table of 10. Why not hire more servers and have them bring the food to their own tables? Much better idea especially for larger groups where they know who ordered what. Prices are a little high, especially for things like fish & chips. $24? Kinda weird. Not sure why a burger is $6 less than simple fried fish. Anyway. I know it's on the water and there are costs involved in that, so I won't harp on it too much. I'd happily come back because I enjoyed the food and love how easy it is to come up to it off the water. But it would be really nice if they had more bathrooms and knew who ordered what when they ran food. Oh and if they lowered the price of the seafood.
