Food: Disgustingly underwhelming food

Pelican Chicken's reputation takes a deep dive into the abyss of poor taste and awful presentation. Terribly overcooked chicken leads the pack of this less than commendable menu. The apparent downfall only escalates with an alarmingly limited menu primarily dominated by chicken. Even the promise of freshness that usually comes with chicken dishes seems to falter with numerous mentions of less freshness than one would expect.

  • Large Portions

    Generous, satisfying portions frequently highlighted, often ample for sharing.

  • Okay Taste

    Food quality consistent, service varies, overall good but not exceptional.

  • Bad Variety

    Limited menu, especially on sauces, and too many chicken options.

Vibe: Chaotic disregard for peace

This isn't some trendy night club, yet you might feel otherwise with the excessively loud music and unnerving bright lights, effectively diminishing any chance of savouring one's meal in peace. The overpowering techno music that echoes through the dining area makes a rather grim choice for a date. Who thought that EDM would make for a delightful dinner accompaniment?

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive and varied beer and drink selections praised by many customers.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Loud music makes conversing with others during dinner difficult.

Perks: Service that puts you off

Nothing makes dining out more unbearable than dealing with ‘missing in action’ hosts, challenging reservation procedures and rude inattentive staff. Being served here seems more like a test of patience than an enjoyable dining experience. Families with young kids, beware. Don’t expect to find any welcoming atmosphere here. The outdoor area, which would usually offer a respite, turns out to be an equally noisy and cramped ordeal.

  • Easy To Park

    Ample, secure, free parking frequently highlighted, enhancing convenience.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Host disappearance issues, hard to book without Yelp, cause frustration.
