Awesome customer service; delicious food (huge portions), the guitarist was impressive and adult beverages have a sneak attack to them

Nice breezy late lunch up top overlooking the waterway. Excellent service from Sabrina. She answered all our questions and made suggestions to which we were very grateful and well satisfied. The Moscow Mules were refreshing along with the punch. Best fresh fried shrimp I’ve had in a long time. Downstairs has live music that wafts its way up for the folks on top to enjoy as well. I will be back to enjoy again in the near future.

Several friends recommended this place while on vacation. My steak tacos had an excellent garlic sauce, fries should have a more creative name as they are thick, potato curls, very unique, and blackberry margarita topped it all off for me. Boyfriend had ribeye, cooked perfectly, with grilled shrimp and fried plantains. Would definitely go back!

Our experience was great �, we where there for lunch � waitress was awesome seafood shrimp � & oysters were fresh & plentiful steak � was as well, we throughly enjoyed our experience, definitely on the try again list. Thank you �

Decided to give The Salty Pelican another try after one previous visit. Was surprised at how long the wait was on a Thursday night (over an hour), but decided to wait it out in the heat anyway. Finally got a text that our table was ready and was told by the hostess that because we didn’t respond in seven minutes, our table was given to someone else. From the time the text arrived until we reached the hostess was five minutes (don’t know why the text was delayed, but we got up...

Visiting from Australia and had lunch there a couple of years back and loved it. Visiting again and went back this week with our kids. Great venue, delicious food (some of the best we’ve enjoyed here in the U.S.), and excellent, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Great location, food was good, and our servers were good. We got a pitcher of the rum punch, it was not good. Mostly tasted like OJ. We had the punch at the palace saloon it was much better.

We went to the Salty Pelican after being served a Pina Colada in a plastic cup at another popular place in FB. So glad we did cause it was hands down a great eating experience an my Pina Colada was served in a Glass!! Thank you for that!! Plastic is out ( or should be especially is you sit at the Bar)The Pretzel was delicious an AHI nachos were delicious!!!Highly recommend!!

Food was excellent, locally caught shrimps and oysters from Louisiana. Waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly and two young men as bus boys were very polite. Highly recommend sitting upstairs, the view is great!

We have always loved going to eat here. BUT not tonight. We got there @6:15. Was told @1 hour wait.We had terrible service. JUST NOW LEAVING AT9:00. Had to get our own to go boxes. Manager did comp appetizer. Food was cold when we finally got it. Had to get manager to cash us out. It made it worse because 2 tables came in ate and left.

Decided to try this place out because we liked the wide variety on their menu. Absolutely loved it! Everything about this place is 5 stars.. our waitress(who’s name slips my mind), the food, the drinks, the atmosphere. Would definitely go here again and highly recommend!

Hostess is rude. Took down wrong number to text when table was ready. Said a table was being prepared now. Still waiting. It’s a good restaurant but the service is seriously lacking right now.

Went tonight to give this place a try and was very disappointed.. I ordered shrimp and oysters and I got approx 6 small shrimp and the 6 tiniest oysters I have ever saw in my life.. for the price of my family of 5 dinner we should have went to salt life or down under... those are 2 usual seafood go to places that are always amazing. to me this is nothing but a tourist place.. but live and learn.

Very disappointed. The food was decent. The fans inside the restaurant ruined our experience. We asked if they could turn them down and they said no. My son had to get a sweatshirt out of the car and me a sweater. It was cold and the fans were blowing so much the napkins would not stay on the table nor the receipts when we went to pay. It was if we were sitting in front of an helicopter propeller. We were a party of 7 and all agreed we were so uncomfortable with how much wind was blowing on us that it truly ruined our dinner.. We won’t be back.

We went for an early dinner and were seated outside. The atmosphere is fun with pretty views. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Very popular. Highly recommend!

My family came to this restaurant tonight to eat. Our dining experience was not the best because our waitress, Hope I believe was her name, was very, very rude. The surf and turf was delicious and the fried shrimp was delicious. The crab cakes and onion rings were not good at all. Also this restaurant is very hard to access for a person who is older and requires a walker. If you want a good steak and shrimp, this is a good place but ask for a polite and helpful waitress. I give the food a 4 and the service a 1.

Stopped in just as they were closing...band was packing up and I asked them just on a whim if they would do one more song for my girl...they obliged us with a two man rendition of Sweet Home Alabama!!! Super good seafood and very friendly atmosphere! Definitely a stop anytime we are near! Highly recommend!!!

any place that offers "sunsets served daily" is a place you have to visit!! Impeccable shrimp baskets, house made dipping sauce, spectacular views from the top deck, The Salty Pelican is an experience not easily forgotten!

Just left this place, came after recommendation from kayak guy. Was kind of crowded so grabbed a seat upstairs. Took our name off the list after bartender said we could eat up there. Ordered a crab dip, ate it, and 20 minutes later the bartender never returned so just sitting up there wanting food and drinks. Should have walked out but decided against. Asked to pay for crab dip, no questions on if we were ok. Left, went to Timothis instead - should have just started there.

We didn’t like the fans either, when we asked a bartender about it, she said they were new and a tech was coming soon to fix the problem. We’re locals, been going there for years, so we will go back. Just hope the fan problem is correctable. The fried shrimp, plantains and Cesar salad was great, as usual!!!

The Food Was Awesome, The People were great and the upstairs outdoors was unbelievable with the view. This is my New favorite place to go

Loved sitting on the top floor outside. The lobster scampi was delicious! Had lots of big chunks of very tasty

We had an absolute AMAZING time eating dinner at the Salty Pelican. The music was on point and the food was top notch. We will definitely be suggesting to our guests when they visit.

loved the atmosphere and live music!! enjoyed my meal and margarita!! and it's a great place to watch the sunset!# definitely will come back again

Loved this place! We were seated up on the balcony level and had a beautiful view of the Marina!! I highly recommend the "Cuban" sandwich. Great service!

Was highly recommended. The food was great and the service was exceptional. Will def dine there again when we are back down again.

Great food and great service. Their tuna BLT sandwich was excellent! � Our waitress/bartender was very attentive.

Fab place great food & beverages ! Great bartenders & servers ! Just love Hope & Duane ! My sister & I

The server was very good. We tried a variety of seafood items and nothing was a base hit. Looked good but lacked flavor I expected from fresh seafood. We got full though and we shouldn’t complain with our mouths full.

Service was great, super friendly (employees and the neighborhood regulars). Food was great and serving sizes plenty. If we come back to this area we will definitely stop again.

Been going for years & never had a bad meal !! Love the sunsets from the rooftop deck ...Awesome place to enjoy a night out , never gets old !!

LOVE it here. The atmosphere sitting out on the deck and the food are always on point. And their blue cheese and bacon oysters and thick cut rare tuna BLT are amazing!

The food is good but the no wait app process is continually irritating to the point of not wanting to bother with this place anymore. We sign in with the app on the way to the restaurant and it says no wait. When we get to the restaurant we are hit with a 30 min wait. Everytime. I love the crab cakes but they are simply not worth the headache anymore. I’m sitting now waiting for 30 mins.

My husband and I visited during The Shrimpfest. The food and service was great. I would recommend this to anyone. We had the Pelican Punch, Conch Fritters and the crap dip - all where deliciously yummy..

We went to the bar on the top deck. Three of us ordered margaritas, one frozen, two on the rocks. The mix was awful! We asked if there was something could be wrong with the mix, it was completely full so it could have been a possibility. The bar tender rudely told us there was nothing wrong with the mix and blew us off. Gave us our check and sent us on the way. We were going to order food and more drinks, but obviously weren't wanted there.

We waited for an hour for tables to leave as we had large group and when tables were free manager decided that he could not seat us there as we would have to be seated outside. Those tables were for more important customers I suppose? Our group if 15 left and had fabulous seafood dinner elsewhere.

Aside from not being acknowledged by the hostesses, who were standing at the podium, for more than 5 mins, our experience was great. Our waitress was awesome and the food was delicious. We’ll definitely be back.

I had mild wings and fries that I really love my wings there's another story they were dried out but I would love to try another meal

Love this place! I drive up from Jax at times to have the ahi tuna nachos and a sunset punch or two!

What a lovely location with a pretty garden and a great view of the water. The food was amazing especially the appetizers: crab dip and potato rolls.

At first blush, you might get discouraged with the wait, but it becomes clear as soon as you are seated that it's absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is very relaxed, but lively.

The hostess originally seated us in a corner next to a young couple w three small children. I asked if we could wait on a table near the front with a view which we did (about 15 min). No sooner did we sit down and our server took our drink orders did the manager come over and ask us to move in order to accommodate a large party! We moved, he promised us a free appetizer and dessert for our trouble then promptly disappeared. I had to track him down and let him know we were not happy and just wanted to eat! The wings were greasy, shrimp tacos were tasty and the key lime pie was a minuscule slice that made me glad we didn’t pay for it.

Fun place, the bartender had a great sense of humor. Great fish tacos; very comparable to San Diego and Baja, Mexico.

Fantastic food. The oysters were delish! Shrimp was fresh and loved the live music and view upstairs. Would definitely recommend.

Food is good. If you do not like spicy ask for any and all sauces on the side. The fish tacos would have been delicious had I known. I was able to salvage the fish and the rest was wasted. The oysters were ok. The service and waitress were outstanding. The yelp check in does you no good at all. We checked in with yelp said 15/20 min wait. We arrived at approx the 10-12 min mark and was excited we wouldn’t have a long wait. It was still 15-20 and probably was more like 20-25 min. Avoid lunch time or have lots of patience.

We had a great time! The staff was great, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. All of our food was awesome (shrimp tacos for two of us, and the tuna nachos were amazing!!). The view of the water was amazing especially at sunset. We will definitely go back if we are in the area again.

You know sometimes something just jumps out at you! Spent the day at the beach. Then was able to go to one of our favorite spots, Salty Pelican for dinner. Saw Tony (Mario) and met Dannie. As we were leaving we know God has blessed us!

Fish tacos were very good. Also husbands burger was very fresh and tasty. I had a blackberry margarita which was excellent. Service great. Definitely recommend. Wonderful view and loved having train go right by us lol.

We went last night for my 35th birthday. It’s almost an hour drive for us, but we’d been before and the food had been SO good, we thought it was completely worth it. We got in line via Yelp, so when we got there at 7pm we only had to wait 5 minutes, whereas otherwise the wait was almost two hours. The night was off to a great start. Our appetizers were delicious - crab dip and calamari - but as we were looking at the menu for our entrees, we noticed both our favorites - o...

Love this place go every time on vacation they have the best food .Been there a few times and just went there in March and will go back again in April when we take the kids on vacation and can't wait for the kids to eat there they will love it thanks for being great can't find good seafood place any more

Loved this place so much we went twice in 4 days! The ahi tuna nachos were out of this world!!!The atmosphere and service was great not to mention the live music and sunsets!

Thank you very much for accommodating the bachelorette party today! We enjoyed lunch and drinks immensely. We will be back.

Great view over looking the water. Watched pelicans and dolphin. Tuna nachos and potato skin things are phenomenal! Worth stopping by

Great food, great drink, great service, Great people just stumbled upon a salty pelican this week we will definitely be coming back. ��

The fish was amazing, cocktail sauce perfect with horseradish. It's the little things that make lasting impressions.

My husband and I go to Amelia to visit family a few times a year and our first stop is always the Salty Pelican for the upstairs view and the ahi tuna nachos, they are our favorite thing to eat in Amelia!

Decided to get the garlic wings tonight. Probably the best wings I’ve ever had! Also love the shrimp po’ boy & shrimp poutine. Service was great, too.

The food was great and so was the service. We would go again the next time we are down here The food was great and so was the service

Dylan was an amazing attentive server!! food was perfect!! eggroll, cuban, resses pie and key line pie, shrimp and oysters...absolutely perfect!!

The seared tuna nachos are absolutely mouth watering! The mac and cheese is quite possibly the best I have ever had and the oyster trio is divine! The atmosphere is wonderful too. We happened to be there when the Jags were playing. Fun times, great service and amazing food!

Enjoyed our lunch there, if was fairly busy even it being off season. Food was great and staff friendly.

We had the crab dip FANTASTIC and a shrimp po boy quite yummy too. We sat at the bar and Rachel was our bartender. She provided great service and conversation too. Keep up the great work, we will be back �

Great food and service. Will definitely be back the next time we are here on vacation. The Cajun dry rub wings are amazing!!!!!

Service & food were excellent! I tried my hubby's shrimp & grits (loved it) and my mother-n-law's hamburger along with my shrimp salad and all were above expectation! Highly recommended!

Good food and beverages, comfortable and clean surroundings, nice staff, and some beautiful views...what’s not to love?!

My favorite Sunday relaxing spot with music from Dan Voll....and Sibrina ..Ashlan..Scotty..and Anthony always take great care of me

Great Food awesome service! We visit a few times a month to get our shrimp and grits fix!! I have tried many items on the menu and haven't been disappointed. Keep up the great work guys!!!

First time visitor and ordered the special: fish and chips, and it was delicious. Fresh and lightly battered. Will definitely go again next time in town.

Mallory was an excellent waitress. The fish tacos and oysters were spot on! The crab dip was delicious as well as the sweet tea! We had a great time! The atmosphere with the tiki torches was very inviting! Definitely recommend this place!

Great, happy vibe on Friday when we came here for dinner. The waitresses were very attentive even though it was busy. The food was just OK. But somehow it didn't matter because of the great atmosphere.

I would love to be able to give the food a 5 star rating; unfortunately, the view was the best part of our experience. The fried shrimp was big (not a good thing) and tough texture, lukewarm at best, not fresh tasting, and had some stringy parts. French fries are cut almost like petals--cute but cold and flavorless. If you aren't a fan of coleslaw with some spiciness, this may not be for you. It tastes of some pineapple and jalapeños, but again it was not star-worthy! Hate to say--going just for the view won't bring us back!

Tuna nachos and oysters were good:) Crab dip was recommended, it was ok � Nice patio seating Good food

The food was wonderful .we asked for some special items. They accommodated us with out missing a beat .great service .large portions. Great prices .

When at night the first time. I had just arrived on the island by myself. The male bartenders (I sat upstairs in the bar with a great view of water) was great. I had oysters Rockefeller & shrimp tacos with their alcoholic punch and a blackberry margarita. Just yum. I was there for 4 hours talking with the bartenders and locals. I had key lime pie for the first time and was super yummy! Returned for lunch next day to have shrimp tacos again. And red velvet cake, their specialty dessert for the day. Yum again. The female bartenders were attentive and funny. Definitely a place I will return to again .

Love this local place... especially Upstairs!!! Great views, great service, and great food...!!! Oysters are outstanding...! Shrimp and Fish (Catch of the Day) always fresh and local...!!!

Mallory our waitress was fantastic! The food was great and the drinks were cold! We had New England Clam Chowder, being from NE I was tempted to offer double or nothing on it's authenticity. I would have hands down lost the bet! A tad more bacon and a bit more clam juice but it was darn near spot on! We would definitely eat here a lot if we were from the area!

Worst food and service ever. Fish and chips are better at capt d's. The waitress asked if I wanted a box. I told her God no it was awful. She took the food and brought our $85 bill for 4 people. I know it was shift change so no MOD. We paid and left never to return. It ruined the whole evening all my friends were full and I was feeling empty all evening

Oyster po boy was just what the doctor ordered, my daughter got the shrimp wrap that was a little on the spicy side but delicious! Then a raspberry key lime pie with white chocolate ganache to end our meal! So great, we will return! Probably tomorrow for $2 Tuesday Tacos!!!

Very cool place to chill out and have a great afternoon. Went there for our Anniversary and will be back. The briny Mayport shrimp were awesome and staff was on point. Thanks for a great afternoon.

Great service! Stoped in to check out the games and have a couple beers. Was highly recommended and wasnt let down!! Will be back for food!!
