- Pelican Pete's has the best frozen drinks and food on Lake Lanier. It also has the best view you could ever ask for. It's the only bar that actually sits on the water. This is a must see.
Good is great with many choices. Grouper sammich, crab blt was great. Go during the week so you can enjoy. Really like the updates to the patio. Great job
No other place like this! Awesome views, entertainment, and drinks! Feels like being in Florida! Even have a kids water play area!
Tyler JonesJune 2, 2015It has excellent food, live music, and respectful staff. It is a family restaurant. The policy on drunkenness is that they stay in their seat, so itʻs safe, though screaming drunks is annoying.
Bob TurnerMarch 7, 2012Notice the location marker above, it's right. This place is literally on the lake. awesome. I think this is their website http://atlantadatingideas.com/pelican-petes-lanier/- Grouper sammich, Crab BLT and knotchos. Great improvements to the deck. Go during the week to really enjoy.
- Honestly I have to rate this place as 10+. My favorite on Lake Lanier. Just don't want everyone to discover. 😜
Sam OlivaresJuly 8, 2013The fish tacos were good, but they jipped me out of the mango, which is what sold me on their menu pic. They said they don't do the mango anymore (well change the dam menu or tell us.- Pelican Pete's would like to apologize to anyone who didn't have a good food experience. This winter we are changing the menu and kitchen. Next season the food will be different and a lot better.
Sheri GodwinJune 22, 2011Our server didn't refill my drink until I asked. My Chicken Philly had no flavor and cost $8.99 for a small sandwich and a bag of chips! I think I know why only two tables were occupied.
Nikita DavisSeptember 1, 2012No servers but on inside on a Friday night!!! Prepare to serve yourself- Stacy ConnellAugust 5, 2014Great views and atmosphere, hands down. Way over priced for mediocre food.
Server was very nice but service is extremely slow. I gave up and cancelled my drink order.
Too cold to eat at Pelican Pete's during the winter. =[

"Best chicken tenders ever! Mac & cheese and cole slaw is good as well. The plus....craft brewery next door. It's Cherry Street and they have a great brew as well. It's a big win all the way around."

"Great dinner spot. Awesome because you can pull up in your boat and not pay the entrance fee but still enjoy the dining. Nice view of sunset. Service was good. Food quality was good also."
