Pelican's Grill - Panama City Beach

Cool location. The staff had fun. Drinks were good/strong, but the music was very, very loud. As a good hangout as we expected our sunset ride.

Never had a server pass me by, but then again I tip my servers unlike some that don't. Beautiful sunsets and many great people hang out there. Food and drink just make the evening sunsets that much better.

We recently stayed in Panama City Beach, FL for a night on our way further south in the sunshine state. On this single night stay I decided to stay a bit further away from the madness that is Panama City Beach at the Sheraton Bay Point Resort and could not have been happier with how peaceful it was. This restaurant was located on the resorts property at the end of a long boardwalk. The views from the restaurant were great and its rather peaceful while dining minus a couple dogs that people had with them. We didn't mind the dogs so much since my daughter loves all animals it kept her occupied asking people if she could pet their dogs. I ended up having a wedge salad and some fried shrimp which ended up being pretty good but not great. Overall it was a good experience and we would dine here again mostly for the atmosphere.

Staff was super friendly although understaffed due to obvious Covid reasons. But the pound of shrimp and beers were great! Also a great sunset!! Here what the remnants looked like. Lol

Pelican feels like a hidden gem. I tried the blackened grouper sandwich, and it was cooked to perfection. It came with a spicy spread that enhanced the flavor and added a nice kick without overpowering the delicate fish. My wife, Amy, also enjoyed the fish tacos and shared my enthusiasm. The atmosphere is unbeatable; you can choose between sun or shade, as it's all outdoors. However, don't let your first impression deceive you. From the moment my wife and I looked at the menu, we knew we had found exactly what we wanted. I'm not entirely sure how the service usually operates, but I placed our order at the bar. The staff was friendly, fun, and very accommodating. I highly recommend Pelican at any time, particularly after spending an afternoon on the boat.
