Let’s call Pelican Cafe a “a cozy-neighbborhood American-style” joint…which serves breakfast-lunch and dinner. If you check its website www.the pelicancafe.com you will find menu/prices/photos so you’ll know what this joiint is all about. Let me get this out of the way, Pelican has indoor & outdoor patio seating and is closed on Monday–serves breakfast Tuesday-Saturday 8am-11:30am, lunch Tuesday-Saturday 11:30am-2:30pm, dinner Tuesday-Sunday 5pm-9:30pm, Sunday brunch 9am-2pm—these guys got more-schedules than the Long Island Railroad.
Anyway…the other day, I did breakfast at Pelican Cafe and this joint is a winner. Just so we are straight, I didn’t do lunch or dinner or brunch…but based on breakfast, I’m gonna go out on a limb and think-that lunch and dinner are also going to be real strong.
I have never really mentioned this, but old Jeff Eats is a sucker for a good donut…well, Pelican makes “home-made” donuts– plain, powdered, apple cider cinnamon, chocolate frosted, blueberry—and Dunkin’ Donuts and Krispy Creme better watch out…the chocolate frosted and plain were outstanding.
As for my breakfast “sampling”…banana & pecan waffles, challah french toast, western omelet—right on the money.
Like I said before, I only did breakfast—but I definitely would like to give this joint a shot for lunch and dinner. In reviewing the menus, the dinner menu is heavy on Italian stuff, which is even more reason for me to get to Pelican Cafe because I love Italian food…then again, I also love Chinese food, burgers, wings, ice cream.
Pelican Cafe…the donuts alone are worth the price of admission.
This is a terrific restaurant.
Not sure what it’s most recent policy is, but it use to give complimentary donuts to the breakfast crowd.
The last time I was there was about 7 months ago, it gave 1 comp donut per couple eating breakfast.
In any event, its donuts are absolutely awesome. They are all delicious, with the chocolate glaze being my favorite.
This is a terrific restaurant.
The husband and wife team who own Pelican go out of their way to make sure that guests enjoy everything about the restaurant from start to finish,
If you have never eaten there, give it a try. I bet that you won’t be disappointed.
