Ravenale DragonheartJune 4, 2014They don' have honey mustard any more. So no more 'Pelican' Burgers. (We asked our helpful server Mike.) but anything else, from the old menu, if we have the ingredients, we'll make it.
Nicky SeeMarch 23, 2012Don't be shy about the healthy alternatives! Both the turkey and whole wheat bun options for any of the burgers are delicious.
Megan S.December 25, 2016The fries are so tasty, and you get endless fries! I like the Turkey Burger with pineapples, teriyaki sauce and add avocados!!! Mmmm
Daniel AytesOctober 30, 2014Burger was great. Fries Smallest order I've ever seen, literally 15 fries. Asked the waitress, all she could say "you get endless refills" wouldn't need a refill if you brought enough the first time.
Greek salad made vegetarian with a garden burger on top instead of chicken! Yum! And beer! Yum!- Ryan SvobodaApril 26, 2023We enjoyed a few post beach drinks and snacks. The cheese fries hit the spot.

Paulina BarnesJuly 26, 2015Such amazing service & the best fish tacos & spinach artichoke dip in town!!!- K McGOctober 29, 2010Order off the menu - Pelican chicken burger = yummy!! Chips and quac are a must and I am a super fan of the tiki tenders!
Try the Kilauea burger with bacon and wash it down with an Island's IPA!!
Marcelle McAfeeJune 12, 2010Get their new mojito! It's fresh with tons of mint. Just like I like it.
Michael DillingerJanuary 17, 2011carlsbad and encinitas islands is great. for a ghetto taste vista is the spot lol- Pedro SaenzOctober 14, 2016The food is decent, but I ordered a bud light and they charge 5.60 per bottle. This is extremely pricey for domestic beer
