    Conch fritters 100/10
    Victoria Z.

    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
    Amy M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Friendly service. Food was good. I had mahi taco, it was good. He had shrimp tacos, he was very satisfied. A little pricy IMO for a lay back Beachy environment. Drinks tasted like pre-pore .. ehhh

    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

    Breakfast Sammy
    Jenn B.

    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.

    This beautiful restaurant sits right on Flagler beach with inside and outside deck dining options. The crew is cheery and bright with great customer service . Our orders came out quickly and fresh. All of the dishes were delicious and fresh. Definitely a magnificent and unforgettable dining experience.

    Ocean Views, Epic Bites, and Unbeatable Vibes The ahi tuna was epic, perfectly seared, fresh, and packed with flavor. The tacos were divine, layered with just the right balance of texture and seasoning. Honestly, the food here exceeded expectations across the board. The Bloody Mary was bold and tasty, but the menu hyped it up to be more than it was. It promised a heavy pour and some flair, but it landed more in the "standard" category. Still good; just not quite the showstopper it made itself out to be. That said, the service was outstanding--warm, attentive, and exactly what you hope for when you're dining beachside. And the view? Absolutely gorgeous. Watching the waves roll in while enjoying great food and drinks is hard to beat. The Funky Pelican delivers. Come for the atmosphere, stay for the food, and leave already planning your next visit...or two.

    Excellent service, very nice upper deck outside with ocean views and the best corned beef hash…read moreever! It was a rainy Thursday morning 10:30am. Not many people out n about so I couldn't really get a vibe for what the place would be like when it gets busy. But it was a great spot for breakfast and we sat on the rooftop area inside so it was covered from the rain, but I can't wait to go back someday for the outside ocean front deck, even closer to the water. I ordered the Irish Benedicte with hash that is homemade on premise with slow roasted corned beef. Very tasty. The side of Home fries were thinly sliced and I had gravy added to that so it was tasty too. Our server was excellent, Trevor was a very nice guy and he recommended we come back for the all you can eat ribs. I wish I was staying in town longer and I would. I'll make a point to come back next visit.

Wasn't sensational. The bruschetta was very good. My husband enjoyed his fish sandwich. The manager killed a huge beetle that was on the ceiling. Just glad it didn't take flight. The manager took our 2 dishes off of our bill. What's outrageous is that they charge a 2.9% service fee when using a credit/debit card. That's not posted anywhere. Our server,Sage, she was sweet. Will we go back? Definitely no. Too many other places to try.

    Second visit to Next Door Beach Bistro and once again -- phenomenal…read more Last night I ordered the Beef Bourguignon with cream potatoes, and it was everything this classic French dish should be. The beef was incredibly tender, slow-braised in a rich red wine reduction with pearl onions and mushrooms. The cream potatoes underneath were smooth, buttery, and perfect for soaking up that sauce. Every bite was delicious. We started with the Filet Carpaccio, thinly sliced and topped with shaved parmesan, capers, arugula, and crostini. Fresh, light, and beautifully plated. The bar program deserves its own mention. You can order a vodka soda anywhere, but here they elevate every drink with presentation and detail. Instead of a simple lime wedge, I watched drinks come out with full lime rounds resting on the rim. My Chocolate Martini dessert drink was practically artwork -- topped with a dehydrated orange slice, chocolate shavings, orange zest, and crossed chocolate-dipped sticks. It looked incredible and tasted even better. Atmosphere is another win here. Guests ranged from cocktail dresses to casual beachside attire and somehow it all fit perfectly. That balance is hard to achieve, but they've nailed it. We sat on the patio (about 67°) and they had the panels down, which kept it comfortable while still letting you enjoy the beachside atmosphere. Even the hallway to the restrooms was lined with art -- thoughtful details everywhere. Some restaurants look great but don't deliver on flavor. Others taste great but lack atmosphere. This place does both exceptionally well. Dinner for two with drinks came to $131 before tip, which felt very fair for the quality of food, cocktails, and overall experience. Looking forward to visit number three.
