Pelican's On The Bayou - New Iberia

I stopped by this restaurant on Wednesday during a short road trip from Lafayette with my daughter and granddaughters. What a delightful experience! The kids insisted on trying the fried dill pickles, and one of them loved the fried shrimp. Everything was fantastic! Don't forget to sample the fried onion rings—they're the best! I will definitely take my husband here next time.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and absolutely loved it! We usually go to Jane’s Seafood, but I would happily drive the extra five minutes to come here again. The food was fantastic! I had my toddlers with me, and the waiter went out of his way to engage with them, even providing us with bread to feed the ducks. Every staff member who passed by checked in to see if we were doing alright. I was particularly impressed by our waiter, Ian, who ran to help a little girl at another table who had dropped her fork. He quickly got her a new one and made her smile. Although I didn’t have much to leave as a tip, I know we will definitely return. This experience clearly demonstrates how much of an impact good service can have on a business. The food was great, but the outstanding service really set this place apart for us.

Charming restaurant with lovely outdoor seating. We began our meal with some incredibly tasty crawfish kickers and jalapeño poppers. The crab burger was fantastic, and the lightly battered catfish po' boy along with the onion rings were both delicious. The oyster dinner platter was large and very enjoyable as well. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout our visit.

We ordered the onion rings and the fried shrimp and it was really good!! The waitress Evelyn was so nice and explained everything so well! When you go ask for her!! And don’t forget to get that fried shrimp! Thank you Evelyn for your service!

The food was good, but the breading for the shrimp and onion rings could use a little more seasoning. Our server was the best we have had in a long time. It was our first time eating here. We usually try to eat out once a week. We will be returning for sure
