Good location for tourists to drop by for a quick visit. Pelicanâs Bar & Grill is the only venue for food and beverage. The place was rather crowded and plenty of fried dishes were available. All-in-all it was a place for easy lunch for the family. FYI, the receipt from the restaurant allow the family to walk through the gated area toward the end of the pier.Dear Guest,Thank you for stopping by Pelican's Bar & Grill and sharing your experience. While it may not have been your best seafood experience, we are happy that your experience was adequate.

We needed to find someplace to have a late lunch/early dinner, and because of the positive reviews, we came here. Weâre glad we did. Husband was hungry & ordered the fried shrimp with boiled potatoes & corn. I wasnât too hungry, so I ordered the crab cake appetizer. Our waitress was sweet, patient, & efficient. She also had a good sense of humor. The food came out quickly. His shrimp were huge! The sides looked appetizing, too. My crab cake was a nice size on lettuce & large tomato slice. All of it tasted so good! Crab cakes actually had a lot of crab (not too much filler) & were a touch spicy. Cocktail & tartar sauces were available, but not necessary for the crab cake. The cook came out, and asked how everything was. We were happy to tell him, âPerfect!âThe bathrooms were clean, well stocked, and the walls provided entertaining statements - at least that was true in the ladiesâ room. The restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated - ocean mural on one wall with mounted fish & artwork on the other wall. Prices were reasonable. When we return to the area, we WILL return here. If you live in the area, you need to try this place.

We were not thrilled with the food and ambience of this location compared to another one in Florida. The building was not well organized, the restrooms were in a different location. It was very hot with not a lot of shading over the tables outside. Try the other one in Melbourne, which is amazing!!Janelle,We are sorry to see you were not as impressed with this location. Thank you for the feedback and we hope to see you again soon!Best,Squid Lips Staff

Staying at the 4 Points Sheraton Cocoa Beach for a baseball tourney. Came in on Saturday and asked to have a table set up for 16. We were assigned one server and he was amazing. The food was alright (best thing on the menu was the taco salad and the fried pickles. The kitchen was slow (some food had to be refired bc it never came out at all. But the best part of the evening was our server Luke. He was attentive and did his best to accommodate our big group. I would go back for sure to have Luke wait on us.

We had drinks and lunch. Service was "iffy". We waited for a while on drinks, and the food when it came out was ok, but the nachos weren't really hot. There weren't many customers, and you would have thought things would have been a little more organized...

I went in shortly before 12 on Sunday, before people got out of church. I was seated, then waited for about 15 minutes for someone to take my order. The waitress was nice, but I donât think it was her section...food was average

The name Pig & Whistle has had a place in British history ever since daily rum rations were issued to all men aboard Royal Navy ships in 1655. As the story goes, it was the job of the junior midshipman to go below to draw the rum for the shop's company fr

Food was awesome!!! We had one of the Monday Specials...the Fish & Chips. The serving of fish was HUGE. It was nothing short of delicious. It was served with fries, coleslaw, and some pea thing...looked like baby food. Service was attentive and super friendly. We try to go to a different restaurant each time we visit Cocoa Beach...but may have to bend the rules a few times to come back here and try the rest of the menu...which is basically British/Irish bar fare.

Came here because it was easy as we are staying on the property. Everyone including an 8 year old enjoyed their meals. Service was a bit slow but the overly friendliness evened it out. We ordered tacos, fettuccine alfredo, chopped sirloin with onions, and the seafood pasta bowl. Fried artichoke appetizer were to die for

We had dinner here with some friends. The service was great, the food was well priced given the location and everything was done perfectly. Very beachy / water side vibe.
