    We found this place on Yelp, and since I really miss living by the beach, we had to give it a try. It's conveniently located right on the beach, and the walk from where we parked wasn't bad at all. We were seated on the outdoor patio, and I loved the views of the beach and the waves. I ordered a Funky Pelican cocktail, and it was delicious. For my meal, I ordered the fish and chips, which I dearly miss from growing up on Cape Cod. The fish was light, flaky, and perfectly cooked. The batter was crisp and not overly thick. I feel like a lot of places down South use too much batter, which takes away from the fish, but they struck a great balance here. They also served a generous portion of fries. With inflation these days, it seems like many restaurants have started cutting back on portions, so that was a nice surprise. The bathrooms were clean as well. The only downside was that it took a while for our waitress to check on us, but she appeared to be very busy. Other than that, we had a great experience and would definitely come back.

    If you're lucky to get some parking out front then ensure you play the lottery that day. If not there is plenty of parking on side streets. What an Incredible view. Combine Comfortable outdoor seating watching the surfers and kayaks with reasonable pricing and Great servers and you have made it to heaven! The entrées that we have tried here have been very good And we made some T-shirt prices because they were quality made and very nice. Can't go wrong here

    Conch fritters 100/10

    Food was spectacular- fish and chips was a great serving that can be shared between two. Conch fritters were fresh and amazing along with the sauce provided. Garden salad with added chicken was YUM. Perfect location- amazing service and friendly atmosphere. 20/10 highly recommended :)))

    Mojo Pork Fries

    This place was great. The patio area outside was nice, I sat at the bar and the young gentleman bartender was super friendly and great at his job. The view is great. The other guests were super friendly and I enjoyed just sitting out here munching and chatting for awhile. The food was great, the young man recommended the mojo pork fries when I asked his opinion for something tasty and FAST (my blood sugar had crashed HARD from going too long without eating) and just like he said, this came out super quick and hit all the right notes. He also recommended getting the sauces on the side to customize accordingly which was a great call because while the reddish sauce was good, the green sauce was fantastic. Some locals recommended this place and I am glad they did. I can't wait to try the fish and chips next time, which they also say are the best in the area. I'll definitely be back.

    Nice view of the ocean. We were sat immediately. The staff were friendly. The service was fairly quick. We shared an appetizer which was awesome, mojo pork fries. Drinks were refreshing.

    Expansive views of the pristine blue ocean and the Flagler Beach Pier draw you into this funky Florida beach bar, but the relaxed & fun atmosphere inside invites you to linger awhile. They offer a seasonally inspired menu with drink specials and Funky Hour is every day from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We started our bar crawl early that morning, so Katie, our spunky Barmaid, recommended the Funked Up Mary-A LOT of Tito's vodka, spicy Bloody Mary mix, topped with a chilled shrimp, a huge wedge of pepper jack cheese, briny green olives, a crispy cucumber slice, a crunchy celery stalk, a zesty pickle spear, a fun bright yellow curly straw and a very looooong Slim Jim all in a frosty 24oz mug with a tajín seasoned rim. It should've been called the FUNKED UP DAWNE.

    The view from the outside patio is beautiful, besides the construction directly next door on the boardwalk/pier (not at all to the fault of the restaurant or reflected in my rating, but still worth noting). We ordered the Calamari and the Alligator Bites to start (we tried to order the crab cakes and our server, who I will not name, looked at us seriously and told us not to) followed by the Conch Fritters and the Basket with Mahi and Shrimp (with Fries and Slaw). The Calamari was good, the Alligator Bites were good, the Mahi and Shrimp were good. The Conch Fritters were tough and borderline hard on some parts. Service was good, she did forget to get another water for my fiancé but did offer to go drinks.

    Need to give you an update!! We have been going back regularly for the steamed shrimp. It's the best in the area super tender, great seasoning options. Ambiance is still the best views in town, even with the construction but it's not their fault. Service always good too

    Let's put it this way. EVERYBODY should make their appearance at the Funky Pelican. It's legendary. It's a landmark. I love the interior and the exterior... seeing that they are RIGHT ON THE BEACH... wow! and the beach is ROUGH... we are talking the Atlantic here.... it was stormy this day... so I got to see the power of the ocean very clearly. Surprised that hurricanes haven't taken this restaurant into the deep dark depths... hopefully never. I will always bring my friends to the Funky Pelican... because its a vibe

    We decided to go to Funky Pelican this morning for breakfast. We got our table on the patio with the perfect view of ocean. Our server greeted us and took our drink order. I have water with lemon while my husband ordered coffee. When she brought us our drinks she took our food order. I ordered the Breakfast Sammy with scrambled egg, Swiss cheese, sausage on wheat toast and home fries. My husband ordered the Hash & Eggs, eggs over easy, home fries and wheat toast. While we were waiting on our food we scored high on the view with several dolphins going by! Our food was very good, my sandwich was very tasty and the home fries were delicious very crispy with a great flavor. My husband said his corned beef hash was very good and he also agreed on the home fries. Our server was great and very friendly! Very good breakfast.

    First off, hard to beat the view at Beach Front. We sat outside since two of the couples had dogs…read more Great menu, outstanding service and excellent food. We had burgers, sandwiches, bloody Mary's, margaritas, beach nachos with beef, skillets with shrimp & with beef. Everything was excellent. I had the Shrimp Skillet with rice and grilled veggies and it was excellent. Cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly and fresh tasting as well. Clam chowder was also very good. Bar drinks were well made, food was great. Chris was our server. Outstanding job, great personality. Chris was helpful, efficient and informative. Clean restaurant and rest rooms even though it was trivia night and thr restaurant was completely full. On this night, Beach Front Grille was a winner.

    We were visiting while on vacation and love to patronize places that host trivia. We made…read morereservations and arrived ten minutes prior to trivia time. 15 minutes past trivia time and of course, after we ordered, they announce that trivia was canceled. This was a huge disappointment since we drove out just for trivia. It would have been nice to get some kind of compensation, but all we got was super slow service and a 3 percent credit card surcharge! (It does say that on the menu, but again, it would have been nice if they took that off for the inconvenience.) The food is over priced and mediocre. 12 dollars for a wedge salad that is about a third the head of lettuce and very little toppings is inflation at it's best. Two dollars to sub fries for chips is also a bit much. The most surprising part was the tipping options starting at a whopping 25 percent, then 30, then 35 percent!! Who is eating here? Burt Reynolds?? (IYKYK) We will not be back when visiting this part of Florida; not even for trivia.

    Stephanie was an amazing bartender! We drive to the area often and never tried caves before, but…read moreStephanie made a great first impression by mentioning specials and giving us the overall history about their restaurant. But was not overbearing. She definitely knows hospitality!! I had the espresso martini and key lime martini and both were incredible. My boyfriend really enjoyed the burger and the chef there knows what he's doing! The crowd there really adores this place and you can tell they treat their guest like family! Don't forget to try the cookie butter banana cheesecake! It was to die forrrrr! I can't wait to come back and try the prime rib everyone raves about! The views are awesome and the upstairs is such a vibe! They have comedy night too! We left there wanting to come back for more :) Thanks Stephane!

    My husband and I are frequent patrons of Craves, and from the very first night we walked through…read morethe door in November, we knew we had found something special. We jokingly call it "our bar" because that's exactly how it feels....like home. From day one, everyone made us feel incredibly welcome. Mike and Lauren are the owners of Craves. Lauren was our very first bartender and immediately made us feel like regulars. Mike introduced himself that first evening while we were trying to navigate the parking lot (which can definitely fill up quickly during dinner hours, a testament to how popular Craves is!). We started out enjoying the upstairs bar before eventually finding our home downstairs. The bar staff is truly what sets Craves apart. Courtney, Emily, Monica, Bonnie, and Stephanie are all outstanding, and Lindsay has been an amazing addition to the team. Every visit is filled with friendly faces, great conversation, and exceptional service. Joe greeted us on our first visit and escorted us upstairs to the bar. He immediately noticed my husband's Philadelphia Eagles hat, and discovering they were both Eagles fans was an instant connection that made us feel even more at home. The food is simply incredible. In all the times we've dined here, we have never had a bad meal. In fact, whenever friends or family visit from out of town, Craves is always at the top of our list, and they consistently tell us it's some of the best food they've had. Some of our absolute favorites include the Prime Rib, the 4-ounce Filets, the Stuffed Flounder, the Salmon, and the Scallops & Shrimp Scampi served over pasta. Every dish is consistently delicious and beautifully prepared. Craves has truly become our go-to place, not just because of the amazing food, but because of the people. Mike and Lauren have created something special: a restaurant where guests quickly become family. There simply aren't enough great things I can say about Craves. If you're looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back, Craves is the place to be. We can't recommend it highly enough!
