The Pelican Post Bar & Grille

Got a to go box. Even that was delicious after hours later. We really enjoyed ourselves on the patio and we'll come back if ever in the area again.

First time here for us! Food and service were awesome! We will be back! I had all you can eat fish n shrimp with hush puppies n fries. Husband had popper burger n fries.

Traveling through Iowa and we made a quick stop for lunch. The Pelican did not disappoint! We showed up unknowingly before they were open and they still welcomed us in! Sam was our bartender and not only was she very personable she was also very knowledgeable regarding the menu. The rest of the staff seemed very friendly as well and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. We ordered the pelican burger and the Philly and both were excellent! Definitely worth a stop if you are in West Des Moines!
