Food was great, as well as being served by Alex who did an amazing job. Very professional, great communication, while making sure we are all satisfied with our experience. Definitely will come back and be served by Alex

Staying on the coast for the weekend so decided to pop down here for dinner. 10 of us. I ordered a $46 steak. The first one that came out was over cooked, yet the outside was almost grey, like it had been in an oven not the grill. Debated whether to take it back and ask for a remake, if it was a $20 steak I would have ate it, but almost $50, I want to enjoy it. The remake was even worse!! It was blue, terrible!! The waitress I returned the steak to was rude and dismissive. A manager then came to the table and she was lovely!! We had a chat, I explained the situation, that I am a chef myself and hospitality manager, that I understand how kitchens work and that mistakes get made, but when doing a remake, that remake should be perfection!! She refunded my money, got us some free drinks and of course offered me a free meal. Whilst the food was disappointing and some service was disgraceful, the female manager tonight was amazing, polite and understanding!!! Won't be returning anytime soon though but huge shout out to this manager, wish I had grabbed her name!!!

Fantastic experience all round. Food came out fast after ordering, and was delicious

Had a delicious chicken caesar burger with a refreshing lemon, lime and bitters. Hit the spot! Friendly staff with a great view

Stopped in for a quiet and relaxing drink. Enjoyed sitting on the deck next to the water. Didn't eat here this time, so I will not comment on the food.

Had a great caesar salad with calamari today. Thanks so much to Angel, our server - she is warm and friendly, with a fantastic personality, perfectly suited to customer service. She certainly made our lunch an enjoyable experience!

Amazing Christmas lunch. The food was nothing like I've had before. The seafood was the freshest I've tasted. The staff were so happy and helpful. Santa Clause even made a surprise visit for the kids. Amazing experience

Wow, our Disability Golf Charity held its 2023 Christmas Party at this Tavern and can highly recommend this venue for its atmosphere, organisational excellence, service and 3 course meal with lots of dietary requirements catered for. Elise and her team made our evening absolutely fantastic. So many comments from our 68 guests. Thankyou

Yesterday 3 of us had a lovely pub meal in a delightful setting on table 40, with excellent staff. The highlight here is the staff. We were booked in for 1130, arrived at 1030 to start our visit with a cuppa and at that time even with minimal staff and no doubt many responsibilities, the staff were delightful. Please management, pass on to the staff member serving us at that time, that we are very grateful for how attentive she was. Sadly I do not have her name. In addition the young woman who came to our table over lunch was also wonderful. Thank you to both staff members
Best wishes

An amazing spot on the deck to have lunch with friends We all had the Mediterranean pasta on my recommendation as I had had it on another visit. We all loved it , so tasty. The service was fantastic. Thank you Collis for your friendly greeting and chat. We definitely be returning

I wanted to share my recent experience at the Pelican Waters Tavern, where I had the pleasure of being served by a remarkable barmaid named Nikki. Her professionalism and courtesy truly stood out during my visit.

Nikki's welcoming smile and attentive demeanor made my time at the tavern exceptionally enjoyable. She took the time to ensure that everyone at the bar felt valued and attended to promptly. Her knowledge of the drink menu was impressive, and she offered great recommendations that suited our preferences perfectly.

It's evident that Nikki takes her role seriously and strives to provide the best possible service to all patrons. Her dedication to creating a positive and memorable experience deserves recognition.

I believe that outstanding employees like Nikki enhance the reputation of the Pelican Waters Tavern and keep customers coming back for more. Please convey my appreciation for her exceptional service, and I look forward to returning soon.

Sincerely,
Alex

Could not fault this venue. Lovely location on the water. Excellent food and service. Salt and pepper calamari delicious and tender. Quite busy for lunch so surprised with how quick food service was. Reasonably priced and the Toblerone cocktail is next level.

The man taking orders was slow
The food was delicious
It was very busy (no point making excuses?we are paying we expect a level of service)
We waited approximately an hour for our meals to arrive.

A generally consistent experience each time I dine at PWT. Plenty to choose from the menu, whether you want a big feed, something small, or something in-between.

You can order directly from the table, which is convenient. Service is usually fast regardless of how busy they are.

Whether you like a feed, a drink, or a bit of a flutter, you can get it all here.

Took Mum here for her Birthday lunch and we really enjoyed it. Good service, nice drinks and nice food. Well done to thevwhole staff

Terrible!
Waited to be seated, no one acknowledged yet seated us,we found our own seats got our own menus.
No table service, we got told to order at the bar.
Asked about the chefs specials, I decided to have what i was told Barramundi with haloumi salad. I ended up with Barramundi with couscous, broccoli and a tasteless dressing. Another meal that came to our table lambsfry which was on the menu as lambsfry and bacon,served on mashed potatoes and peas. A couple of peas,no bacon.
Disappointing that the prices do not reflect, self services and below average meals.
Should have gone to the bar area and had a bar meal. Will not be back.

We recently celebrated my mum's birthday here and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Portion sizes were great and the food delicious. Won't hesitate in returning.

Absolutely the best dining to top off a Caloundra Sunset Cruise!
I've been here twice now with the second visit on a busy Tuesday Triva Night but our meals arrived in less than hour. Hats off to the Chef, kitchen and serving staff.
Table QR ordering is the way to go for meals and drinks.
All staff I engaged were friendly and courteous.
I ordered the BBQ Pork Ribs which I highly recommend. The meat is so tender and the sauce is very tasty.
I read many of the following reviews which appeared a little mixed but my experience justified the 5 star rating for:
Service
Cleanliness
Quality of food
Great value priced meals and drinks.
Location saved in my dining list 😊

Great Tavern. Would highly recommend.
The tavern offers lovely food at a decent price. We enjoyed the pelican platter. Everyone really enjoyed the southern chicken burger.
There is a small kids play area.
There is a sports bar.
There is a members club you can join.

Had lunch post Caloundra Cruises, Venue great outlook looking over the canal, excellent lunch.
Senior meals such great value.
Highly recommend this venue. For menu prices & Friendly service..🍻🥂??'?

Nicely located overlooking the canal. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service a bit slow. Seniors meals available. Good variety on menu. Meals were nice.

Some of the best club food we have around this area. The menu has a few new and exciting items along with some old favorites. Great location (right on the water) and customer service was outstanding as well. Highly recommend dropping by for a meal.

First timers at Pelican Waters Tavern and the atmosphere, the views the service and the food was absolutely the best.
Maggie and Sam provided us with outstanding service.
Best steak and creamy garlic sauce on the coast.

Food was amazing. Chef works his butt off. Hope they pay him big bucks for his efforts making sure everything is spot on. Great chefs like this a very hard to find.

Service with a smile. Couldn't fault anything. The waiting staff in particular Sam i think his name was, was outstanding. He was extremely friendly and looked after our needs. Would highly recommend to everyone. 5 stars

Very slow service, we received a free drink out of the delay, but unfortunately not good enough. Food was acceptable. We went for Christmas lunch and it was superb. We will give it another opportunity.

Visited this venue while on holidays from Victoria, was greeted by the lovely Rob at the door who found us a seat outside. Food was excellent, as were the cocktails Rhianna made for us behind the bar, and I'm picky with my mojitos. Awesome view, great for a few drinks outside amongst the sunshine. Enjoyed every second!

On holiday from Victoria and made to feel pocal. Rhianna and Rob went out of their way to make us feel at home.
Great cocktails, amazing calamari, all with a world-class view. Can't wait to come back!

Had a lovely lunch here recently. Food was good, staff were lovely. I was approached by what I assume was the Bar Manager when I was taking a few photos and she was mildly abrupt. I showed her the views and she was a little more accommodating. She still didn't seem thrilled that I was there though. Guess she doesn't understand the value I bring. Still gets a five star. Just 🙂

Enjoyed a lovely evening with my Daughter and Granddaughters. The meal was wonderful and cooked exactly as requested. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. ??'?

Food was superb as were the drinks. Staff were very helpful and I like the fact that you don't have to leave your seat to order a dring or a meal.
Well done Pelican Waters Tavern.

Great friendly service by Leone in the bar.
Tried the new order & pay system, very efficient! Drink came out almost straight away. Very happy highly recommend. Awesome view too

Atmosphere and environment is beautiful. Food is good and the staff were very accommodating of our special requests. Decent selection of drinks on tap, and everything quite reasonably priced.

Pelican Waters is our 'go to' restaurant. The views are spectacular, the staff are always courteous and friendly and the meals are delicious. It is a homely atmosphere with fresh wholesome food

Pelican waters never disappoints! We dine here regularly and the food and staff are always amazing. Trivia has started again and made for such an enjoyable evening.
I highly recommend you visit.

I cannot say highly enough the beautiful food we had tonight. Cooked to perfection. Accolades to the kitchen. Without guidance and direction it would not happen... actually the bar staff were so friendly and the waiters. Couldn't fault anything. Well done

Really good food and nice view if you sit outside. The lady that served us at the bar and was waiting tables was lovely! Would definitely recommend!

It is a lovely place. Three of us had the Seniors choice, which was Chicken Schnitzel, small amount of chip and salad, very delicious. The other two, one had beef salad and chips, the other had big bowl of very yummy chicken wings. It was ashamed that the day was overcast, as we could of sat out side by the water. Inside was great not closed in, all bright an airy. The only disappointment was our coffee & cake, my coffee was fine but other 4 were cold. Sent them back, when they came back it was drinkable. As for my cake (chocolate) and the others had apple-pie was absolutely delicious, BUT it took 45 mins before it was served. They were all very apologetic & we didn't have to pay for them which was great. Drinks, I had my usual of rum & coke, some of the others had wine or just coke. Overall a very enjoyable lunch.

we visited on Melbourne cup day, the staff were a little abrupt, admittedly it was Melbourne Cup day and they were busy with their yuppy luncheon, we had a bistro meal.. steak and chips, It was good came at a reasonable time from ordering and was cooked well. View is lovely out on the deck. Asked for a change of sauce ordered before the meal actually came and they were very obliging. Will definitely go there again.

If I could select zero stars I would. Absolutely shocking hospitality service! Greeted without a smile from front of house with no welcoming feeling. Unpleasant experience, have walked out, going elsewhere.

Great food
