The Blind Pelican

Yum yum yum, the crab dip is a must! The warm, delicious crab dip helps offset the chilling ambient temperature. But bring a sweater as well since they keep it quite cold inside. Although the crab dip was the star, we enjoyed our dishes. I especially liked the Connecticut style lobster roll. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and all our orders were accurate. The menu is primarily seafood and the prices and portions seem reasonable. The bloody Marys however were expensive. I'm not a big fan of bloody Marys so I skipped it. I didn't realize until a neighboring party ordered one that you could swap out the Bloody Mary part for a different drink! I may have to do that next time. Does shrimp, grilled cheese, bacon, and lobster go with a pina colada?Note: the crab dip is gluten free and can be ordered with tortilla chips rather than bread.

I kept seeing this place on my Instagram feed but it's about an hour away so I knew I was going to have to wait until my birthday to get my husband to agree to go.And I'm so glad I did! We got the sushi nachos (which I think we a special app since I don't see them on the menu) and they were wonderful. We a bit of sushi nacho connoisseur and get them whenever we can find them. These did not disappoint. I got the Classic Ultimate Bloody Mary for me meal (hehehe) which comes with shrimp, bacon, and grilled cheese for $20!!! Not only is it tasty, the presentation is magnificent. Truly...I believe this bartender keeps this place in business. AND (Fun Fact)...if you don't like bloody mary's, they'll make this display in ANY drink you want to order.My husband got the fried shrimp basket with onion rings and hush puppies, which were also very good.This was a very fun evening for us. The staff was great and I wish we lived closer. The food was delicious and it was great value!

All 6 in our party thoroughly enjoyed our seafood.Service was great.All the employees were very nice.Prices reasonable Fantastic Bloody Mary's.I sampled all the meals, my fave was the blackened grouper. Mmm so good

What a beautiful day out after the storm, I live in Florida and I always wanted to come to this place but didn't think I'd be in North Carolina. Well, here I am visiting my best friend and she took me here. The most delicious bloody Mary's I have ever had!

Excellent food in a beach theme setting. Service was on point. I can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu.

The service was wonderful the staff is very friendly. The food was served hot and they were great portions. It's hard to find some good seafood spots so I definitely recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is not super fancy which was enjoyable for a relaxed dinner

We found ourselves here on Father's Day, and although the place was jam packed, the food and service was spot on. The dolls at the hostess stand were personable and professional and the service at the bar was fantastic. (Thank the good Lord for full service at the bar that spared us the 80 minute wait). Our order came out quickly, and we were in and out in no time! The oysters Rockefeller were delicious and the hubby's shrimp basket w/ onion rings was tasty also. We also enjoyed sharing a mimosa flight. I can't wait to return and try more menu items. Cheers!

This is a fun happening spot. They have gone viral online for their famous bloody Mary's, but their other drinks are beautiful. We enjoyed a blood Mary with lobster tail, grilled cheese, bacon, shrimp. So delicious. Their special drink was a Pelican Old Fashion. Perfectly crafted. Our service was great.

What a fun experience For Father's Day I decided to treat my husband to his Bloody Mary of his dreams. the Blind Pelican was 1 1/2 hours from our place so we took a little road trip. We arrived around 2:30 Saturday afternoon, and got seated right away.We ordered oysters rockerfella, lobster roll (Connecticut style), and The Zeus Bloody Mary.The Lobster Roll was perfect. Lightly toasted bun, plenty of chunked lobster! Hushpuppies were great. Oysters rockerfeller came out hot and cheesy and delicious. The KRACKEN was unbelievable even the bloody Mary was good

The grouper sandwiches, tuna nachos, bisques, cocktails, and everything we have had at The Blind Pelican has been delicious- and of course the bloody Mary's are legendary.But the customer service is really what is top notch! Every server we've had is phenomenal, friendly, and fun. The hostesses do an amazing job getting everyone sat in a timely manner. We most recently ordered takeout and unfortunately our order did not come out correctly. The manager, Rich, and the hostess did such a great job righting the wrong. We love this great local restaurant and will definitely keep coming back.
