Pelican Larry's Raw Bar and Grill

"Food was okay, but the service was horrible. Waitress was not attentive at all. Hostess had to take our drink order because our regular waitress was dealing with other tables. Waitress brought our apps but no plates and utensils. Slow to bring the check at the end. Inside was cold and had very loud music. Outside was better. We waited for a table for outside dining but while we had been seated, witnessed people coming in the back gate and seating themselves and the waitress didnt say anything that they needed to see the hostess upfront. I can see this Estero location closing like the Naples location last year if no improvement is made. Shame cause this is a great shopping center."

"This review is of the BBQ food now attached. Wednesday lunch expectations medium. Having bbq on a Wednesday for lunch you know your gonna get leftovers. I tried the three meat combo ribs/sausage/fattybrisket. The sausage was very tasty and grilled. The ribs were seasoned well definitely not fresh but ok. I asked for fatty brisket and what i got was a little confusing. More fat than meat. So this brisket was not trimmed properly and by fatty brisket i dont want the point. Lets serve the ultra moist cap large thick juicy slices. Nope what i got was literally fat with bark on it. Winners- the 4 homemade sauces wete really good, seeet. Hot. The roasted brussel sprouts good. Service was excellent and the mango beer was awesome. Prices not bad...."

"Me and my boyfriend we ordered appetizers same time. He got his in 5 minutes, i had to wait for my appetizer 20 minutes. The fish and dip was very salty and lettuce look like dead. After that we ordered lobster mac and cheese. It wasn’t good at all. There wasn’t enough lobster. Very disappointed night. Sorry we won’t come back."

"This place sucks… for the area that it’s located in, it’s very disappointing. I hate to bash someone’s dream of having a restaurant but this ain’t it baby. First off the rib menu is Al a carte, no one item on your menu is good enough to stand on its own. I don’t think there are enough characters for me to really get into how displeased I am. The ribs were warm. The Brussels sprouts have a nice flavor but they are swimming in oil. The mashed potatoes, again the flavor is there, but the portion I was served had a “been sitting a while” crust. The mac and cheese, oh my gosh, THE MAC & CHEESE made me so mad, the complete audacity for it to even be called mac and cheese is beyond appalling. The mac and cheese is disgusting, again it tasted as though it had been sitting, the noodles had a slight, “take me out of my misery” dried out flare to them. The sauce or rue, on the mac and cheese taste like someone completely skipped over the cheese part. The place was a ghost town when I walked in, which is always a red flag. I wanted to put off writing this cause I really have nothing nice to say but something NEEDS to be said. I didn’t specify if my order was for there or to go, so the girl at the counter bagged it to go anyways, HOWEVER not including silverware in a to go order is crazy… there was no one else in there. I wasn’t rushing you guys. You, in a sense, took it upon yourself to bag my order, not making sure I had everything, when the restaurant was deserted is mind blowing. I can’t really speak for the other bar side, which by the way, who knew it was a 2 in 1 situation. I thought the BBQ portion was a stand alone, separate establishment. Anywhoooos, appearance wise, it’s smoke and mirrors. It looks good but the taste is mid. I can’t speak on the bar so maybe they are better for drinks but as for food goes, it’s a hard no. I wouldn’t double back or even recommend it to someone else."
