First time eating at The Pelican Reef. I had the fried oyster sandwich. The oysters were perfectly cooked. Lori was very helpful and friendly.

First time here, and the food was fresh, hot, and amazing. Portions were generous, and my wife didn’t find anything to complain about.

We really enjoyed our food. My daughter and I had Shrimp tacos. They were really delicious. My other daughter had shrimp Po boy. I don’t know how she ate it all but she did. It was loaded. My husband had stuffed crab with sweet potato fries. He really liked his too. Kids had sliders and sweet potato fries. Gabriel our waitress was really sweet and took really good care of us. If you’re visiting Daulphine Island like us it was worth the trip off the Island. Restaurant located on Fowl River. Beautiful views.

First time trying this place out. We were the only one in the whole restaurant! That was awesome! We sat outside. Ordered food and some appetizers. Everything tasted great! Service was very good. Our waitress made sure we had everything. Will definitely be back once we’re in the area.

I absolutely have to share this experience!!!! I must say this has been the best experience eating here totally All the way around!!! We came in kinda late (very close to closing) We were driving around late, STARVING and we were ALL hangry!! We walked in with our fur baby asking the impossible AND these people welcomed us ALL with open arms!!!!!! The waitress was ABSOLUTELY the sweetest person, efficient, professional, quick and friendly! She even brought our fur baby a BIG bowl of ice water!! The food was outstanding and the prices were perfect!!! Absolutely the best experience that we have (all 7 of us) had in a VERY VERY long time, if ever!! Definitely A MUST to visit!! 10 stars PLUS!!! thank you ALL so much!

I have lived in Mobile for years and have passed this restaurant many many times on The way to the island. Today we stopped and it was NOT a disappointment. The server Jess was totally awesome and the food was AMAZING. We have a large family and they was able to accommodate all 9 of us. The portions was plentiful and tasted great. We will definitely be back!

Food was delicious!!! My steak was cooked to perfection. Husband had the seafood platter fried, and it was very good! My children had shrimp tacos and the bacon cheeseburger, which were both very good!

Yummy, affordable, fresh seafood! Most things are fried in true Alabama fashion, but there are options to get grilled or blackened. Very kind staff! The interior could use some updating but it adds to the charm

I’ve debated a while on writing this. I grew up eating here and i can not remember a time that it wasn’t good. The last 3 times we’ve ate here it was honestly not fit to eat. Today we were out on the boat and decided to give it another shot. When we got in we noticed there was 1 table sat inside the restaurant and maybe 4 on the deck. We were told a 45 minute wait, a whole 5 tables occupied and there’s a 45 minute wait. Absolutely ridiculous!

Nothing was very spectacular here. The stuffed mushrooms are thick breaded in crunchy fish fry. The shrimp tacos have lots of lettuce, tomato, and cheese on them but not enough shrimp. There is a bar in the same building and cigarette smoke constantly wafting into the restaurant.
