Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent! In addition, my daughter had celiacs and can’t eat any gluten or have cross contamination. They were amazing at accommodating us. They had special gluten free chips, gave us separate servings of guacamole and so much more. She was able to have a yummy dinner and fun and safe dining experience. We loved it and will be back!

Really good burger. I liked the fresh aquatic atmosphere. Wait staff was nice and attentive. I'd go back for sure. I appreciated the vast gluten free menu.

I have a gluten allergy and the staff was super accommodating. I was so impressed. The food is phenomenal, I’ve been a few times and it’s always great.

I was very happy with this place! I was pretty nervous ordering here for the first time because I have celiac disease and there is so much gluten used but the staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. I did keep it very simple because I was worried about cross contamination so I just got a plain burger with cheese and added my own condiments at home. The burger was delicious well seasoned and the bun held together nicely while I was eating it. I did not get sick and will definitely visit again. No dedicated gf fryer though. Maybe one day!

Interesting place, big counter, small market, sit down tables and a separate beer bar, large menu. Make good sandwiches and have some options that satisfy dietary restrictions, e.g. i had a vegan gluten-free sandwich (Athena's Gift) with an olive salad and vegan mayo on a thinly sliced gluten free seed bread that fell apart in my hands after 2 bites but was good enough for me to go a second time and get the same thing. Most of everything has meat though, with my dietary restrictions I think there was only one more option that i could have had (but didn't). My companion had the French dip and liked it enough to order it again for the second visit. Cookies are a quite hard but big and my companion who i bought them for (i couldn't have any because gluten and dairy) seemed to like them. The place is busy so if the locals keep going back it must be consistently good and it's relatively inexpensive. I only got takeout but the people at the counter that took my order were very helpful. As a European i always chuckle at clearly American establishments that pretend to be European but this one had some goods from the old continent so alright, we'll allow it :⁠) Liked the place, liked the food, go give it a try.

The owner, Jen, was SO helpful and friendly. I called here to see if they have gluten free options, as I have Celiac Disease, and Jen knew right away what I could or couldn’t have. She was ready to help as soon as I walked in and made me feel so welcomed. I had the “J-Lo” ice cream with a brownie cookie and all I can say is INCREDIBLE! I’ll definitely be back before my trip ends 😄

Absolutely amazing experience! I have a gluten allergy and the staff was knowledgeable in answering all my questions, used a clean surface for my food, and changed their gloves. They were very attentive and kind. The food was delicious, too! I can easily say that the shrimp taco was the best shrimp meal I’ve had. Thank you for a memorable experience!

Excellent coffee shop with a variety of pastries and sweet treats! If you are looking for a place with yummy gluten free baked treats, you need to check this out! I had a blueberry muffin with icing and it was amazing! This place also has multiple sugar free syrups, which is hard to find at the average coffee shop.

GF options noted on the menu! Very accommodating

Great place for my Paleo lifestyle. Some of their meat cuts are GrassFed and the kitchen is always willing and eager to work with me on Gluten free items. Their Wine selections are a terrific addition to this great spot in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, FLA.

We have always loved Huey Magoos and use to frequent there often. However after today’s experience i wouldn’t ever recommend this shop to anyone. My roommate has an autoimmune disease and therefore has a severe allergy to gluten. They have always been great about following protocol about allergies and have never had a problem. Today, she requested the normal, glove change before prepping her food. This takes someone about 15 seconds to do at most. not a major inconvenience. The cashier mocked her. When she was waiting for her food to be made and handed out, she could hear the kitchen and FOH loudly making jokes about her allergy and once again, mocking her. When the food was finally given to her, they said “here’s your gluten free, extra gluten”. Horrible service. And the fact there was no manager there to monitor this, horrible ownership. just avoid this place.

Delicious coffee and food. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Beautiful space with indoor and outdoor seating. Enjoyed several gluten free options. Found a gem in this spot!

Location: 5/5 Server Kindness: 5/5 Server Promptness: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4.5/5 Food: 4/5 Cost for quality: 3.5/5 Cost for quantity: 3/5 Explained below: The location is very cool (on the water). It’s a pretty standard seemingly upscale marina restaurant. Our server was kind and thoughtful. The employees were helpful, nice, and polite. Unfortunately, there was supposed to be live music while we were there but we didn’t hear/see it… bummer! The food is pretty average in a good way. It’s not bad but it’s not the best I’ve ever had. I’d definitely eat here again, but I’m not seeking out a time to eat here again. The salmon tasted as expected with your standard rice and broccoli. Could definitely use some more lemon/seasoning though! My husband got the clam chowder which he said tasted more like a potato soup than chowder… and he wasn’t quite sure where the clams were. I took a small taste and it wasn’t bad, but it didn’t have a bold flavor (needed lots of salt and pepper). It was definitely overpowered with strong scallions that made the whole thing taste of raw onion (which is great if you like that sort of thing, but not so great if you like a more subtle scallion taste verses the strength of straight raw onion). My husband also ordered the wedge salad. He said it tasted pretty standard for a salad- not stand out, but not bad either. Definitely delicious if you’re craving a salad! In terms of price: it’s pretty overpriced for what you get… ESPECIALLY if you order a salad. The portions seem inconsistent. For example, if you’re VERY hungry (or eat a lot like I do) and You order a salad, even with protein, you may still leave hungry afterwards. I have a huge appetite, and left satisfied after my meal (the salmon filet), but may have left unsatisfied had I been a bit more hungry. If you have a small to average appetite, then you should be fine! If you have a large appetite, you may want to consider an appetizer. Circling back to price though- protein added to a salad is quite a bit much. With salads already running in the teens, protein is an additional $$ which will run you close to, if not more than, $20+ dollars… which, for a salad, is kind of crazy! The salmon was about $26 if I’m remembering correctly. A bit pricey, but I expected it from a water front dining experience. They have great drink specials on, what appears to be, most nights! Tonight it was $6 martinis, so that was a cool option. Overall not a bad place to go, but I’m sure there are places much cheaper for just as delicious and perhaps more filling! P.S. they didn’t have gluten free substitutions, so you just have to order things that are naturally gluten free if you are avoiding gluten!

Food always good, and the gluten free food

My sister who lives here in Jacksonville recommended I go to this restaurant. 🥘 There was plenty of parking in front. When I arrived I was not impressed with the space, it is definitely not a luxury restaurant, it is more of a simple restaurant, quite basic in its style and presentation. The space is not big. A very friendly Argentinian guy greeted me and helped me with any questions I had about the food I was going to order. The menu (a simple 2-sided laminate) did not show the prices. I ordered the tamale with pork, presented on the banana leaf, I couldn't say that it is the best tamale 🫔 that I ate in my life, but it was good, and the taste of the pork (inside) was delicious. The tilapia apanda with black beans and fried yucca was very fresh, the beans had good flavor and the yucca was soft and delicious, the red sauce was very good to season the fish 🐟. The Chaufa rice with shrimp was very tasty and the “lomo saltado” with white rice and French fries was very good. The truth is that it looks like homemade food with good taste. I couldn't say that it is the best sample of Peruvian food, it is definitely not gourmet (because the restaurant itself is not) but it is very good to eat. 😊. In the end, my mother ordered the alfajores and apparently she liked them a lot (I didn't try them because I've been avoiding sugar and gluten lately. Anyway, as for the portions, they were generous (there was a little left over for tomorrow 😂) so We packed all the surplus. The prices are not cheap but if you are hungry and want to eat something delicious, you could do well here. I left happy (and with a full belly ❤️). I am from Panama 🇵🇦 and I love you very much. Congratulations!

Josh and Brady were awesome. I have celiac and they made a call to the owner about ingredients for the brown butter bourbon ice cream. It had gluten and it made my ordering easier! The young man who took our order commented in his favorite, which is what I ordered—strawberry cheesecake, YUM!!! These boys were so kind and gracious hosts at Pelican’s—We’ll definitely return!!

Went for an anniversary dinner. Our waiter was knowledgeable and helped me find a delicious gluten free item. It's refreshing to dine at an establishment that takes this allergen seriously!Absolutely amazing 👏

Kelsie was absolutely wonderful. She helped with all our Celiac questions and needs. The manager David went out of his way to make sure everything was safe for us to eat. The food was cooked so perfectly. We will be back every time we are in Jacksonville.
