 Going Back For Prime Rib 9/15/2009
Reviewer: Mike from Indiana
|
We enjoyed our dinners but I can't remember what I had. Especially since when we were about to leave I saw a healthy sized prime rib being delivered to the table next us. I gotta go back to try it out.

I'll Be Back! 7/31/2009
Reviewer: Anonymous from Topsail Island NC
|
Ate there for the first time yesterday and can't belive I haven't found the place sooner!Had a Corn,Crab and Polano Chowder that was good,It could have been a little thicker but it packed some flavor and you could find the Crab in it.Also had the Shrimp Basket fried of course and although it looked like they skimped on the Shrimp they were large and done just right where it was all I could do to finish the last one and leave the fries.A Friend of Mine ordered the Pasta with Shrimp and Scallops,spinach,Mushrooms in a cream sauce and that was good.The Service was SLOW and We were the only ones at the bar and could not get our drinks out fast enough.But I will be back.

A lunchtime staple 6/7/2009
Reviewer: Sam from Little Egg Harbor, NJ
|
OVERALL: The Black Pelican is a consistently great restaurant in terms of value, quality, portions, and service. While there is nothing extraordinary about the menu itself, the food is very tastefully prepared and presented. No matter where you go (either on the Outer Banks or anywhere else), beach dining is always a little expensive, which is why the Black Pelican is a great lunch destination. It has a great view of the water from the second floor.
Appetizers are sizable and delicious. I'm a transplant from the South, so I'm a sucker for shrimp 'n grits. And these are pretty darned good, if a little spicy for some folks' tastes. The portions for most meals is so large that you're overstuffed or feel like you need to take half home to save room for the dessert. I'd recommend the key lime pie.

We visit every year 9/11/2008
Reviewer: Cathy from New Jersey

This is my son's favorite restaurant in OBX. He loves their wood-fired pizza. I have enjoyed everything I've ever ordered; they have some great specials. You will definitely have a long wait if you don't go early, but they have a high deck with a limited outside bar with ocean views/breezes so the time spent waiting is enjoyable. Great desserts!

 Kinda Average 5/13/2008
Reviewer: RobinA from Philadelphia, Pa
|
I could have eaten this food at the chain in the mall at home. Without the long wait. Probably good with a large group including finicky children.

Love the Place 10/4/2007
Reviewer: Karen from PA
|
The Black Pelican is not only an outstanding place for a good meal, but a great place to see what the old Outer Banks was all about. Nothing fancy here-just good food and a great atmosphere. Don't ever change.

Awesome food 8/1/2006
Reviewer: xrayman from Richmond
|
We have been eating here for years. The food is great, the service is always great too. Save room for desserts!!!! We end up getting ours to go for later. I love the tuna nagano.
But the plastic deck chairs for dinner are very unexceptable, not sturdy and don't meet any decor for a place of this class. Other than the BBQ place it is only place I have see them.

Reviewer: allison from south carolina

Had dinner here today, the best since we've been here. Jimmy's buffet is sickening, Costal Cactus is tasteless and Owens-expensive and VERY overated.

One of our new found favorites 10/26/2004
Reviewer: MARY-OHIO from Massillon, Ohio
|
Some of the best crab bisque I ever had, although you've got to hit the right night for it to be soup de jour. Had their seafood pizza this time. Really good! Very nice atmosphere and a real nice gift shop.

Always a good place to eat 10/26/2004
Reviewer: Tim from Kill Devil Hills
|
While your meal may not be GREAT, it will be good and this place has a lot of atmosphere to share. The lunch menu is very good with fresh fish or one of the best hamburgers on the beach. The diner menu is always good with fish, pizza from the wood ovens, or sandwiches. The Pelican is worth a visit!

Well Worth a Visit 1/24/2004
Reviewer: Neil from Caldwell, NJ, USA
|
The food is very good, not "GREAT", but the service is fast & friendly. My daughter's personal pizza was quite good, and my fried flounder was big enough for three people. Kinda pricey, but hey -- you're on vacation!

Reviewer: Seadog from Ohio's north coast

Our favorite here is the wood-oven baked pizza. Really good seafood pastas, too. They also have delicious daily specials --the first time we were there we had lobster ravioli -- yum! But it's the atmosphere that really makes this place special for us. It was an old lifesaving station -- the place where the Wright Brothers sent the telegram home to Ohio announcing their first flight. It is filled with nautical antiques and Wright Bros. memorabilia. It has big windows all around and from the top dining room, you have a great view of the ocean. Check out their neat website. Love this place.
