Pelican's - Sheppard Air Force Base

We sat at the bar and it was wonderful! The bartenders were super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! It was a bit pricier than we were looking for but the food definitely matched the value!

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.

I have been to this location several times and gotta say I have enjoyed every experience. Restaurant is clean, inviting, and nicely decorated. Service is great which I love. And the food is soooo good plenty on the menu. Cooked very well. Thanks

Very good food with large portions. Our servere was excellent and was there for all our needs. Will be back to eat there for sure.

We did not have a reservation but got a table instantly. The service and food was great. Oh and the drinks were too
