The Pelican Cafe

This is a great little diner. I loved the hometown feel. We had great friendly service. We had a mixture of burgers and breakfast. The portions were huge, the food was hot and tasted like home. Great fries and onion rings! The prices are great too. I highly recommend the Pelican Cafe!!

Awesome breakfast!
Amazingly friendly staff!
Pleasant atmosphere!
We will be back!

The Pelican Cafe is the best place for lunch in Laurel, hands down! The chicken fried steak skillet is freakin awesome!
The chicken fried chicken biscuits are the bomb!! Service is great and friendly, best I’ve ever seen!! Check em out! Just dang good food!

Stop in the first time ever today to give them a try. The place is very cute and rustic but the atmosphere has nothing to give. The waitress I had was very standoffish from the start. Yes they were busy while i was there but that isn't a good reason to not pay attention to your tables fully.
They let the orders just build in the window so plates are pilled on top of plates and as far as i can tell theres no heat lamp either to keep the food warm while it sits there.
I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with 2 Over Medium Eggs on a separate plate, Load Extra Crispy Hashbrowns, and a biscuit instead of toast.
After waiting probably 45 or so minutes i finally received my food. The Chicken Fried Steak as no flavor but is a very decent size, my eggs come on the same plate as my hashbrowns even though I asked for them on a separate plate, my extra crispy loaded hashbrowns weren't crispy in the slightest, lastly the biscuit was delicious and was the best thing.
Everything was homemade which was very appealing but the experience wasn't the best first impression.

Friendly Atmosphere and Friendly Waitress. Affordable Price with Large Portions! Found this place in Google Maps and OMG. Fresh Hot Prepared Triple Meat Omelette with Hash Browns Topped with Sausage Gravy. Cheese and Meat in Every Bite to The End. Good Size Portions plus Fresh Hot Coffee. Excellent All Around Experience. Highly Recommend Going.
