The Hungry Pelican Grill

 

Set farther back from the road than some of the other eateries, this little tree covered hide-a-way has a lovely screened-in porch eating area. The year-round dining is definitely casual with fried food, deli favorites, burgers, grilled sandwiches and salads on the menu.

Appetizers include the usual suspects such as onion rings and mozzarella sticks, but also some delicious cheese fries, southwest chicken egg rolls, mini crab cakes and a cheese quesadilla.

For salads, enjoy a tossed, grilled Hawaiian chicken, chef, BLT or taco salad. Ultimate burgers harken back to the old fashion drive through featuring mamma, papa and baby-sized burgers.

Veggie lovers will appreciate the chipotle black bean burger! Order up a shrimp, fish, or clam basket. Savor a crab cake sandwich or go ala Americana with a variety of clubs, BLT, corned beef, turkey or all beef hotdog. Get sloppy with a Joe made from a 50 year-old family recipe. Additional choices include Rueben’s, grilled cheese, BBQ, steak and cheese and more.

Kid’s menu includes faves like chicken tenders, grilled cheese, burgers and other selections

Drinks include lemonade, sodas, fresh brewed coffee, sweet and unsweet tea as well as hand-dipped milkshakes.

Don’t leave without satisfying your sweet tooth with Mexican ice cream, a scoop or two of Edy’s or a home made cookie.
