Came here last night on 08/02/2023 with my family to meet up with other people. The atmosphere is traditional yet relaxing. The staff was superb on their part making the night even better. Their food is very good & filling.
Personally, their Maryland Crab Cake was my favorite dish there. There was other dishes served but overall, it was quite the nice night experience. I recommend people who’s looking for a family outing and/or out with coworkers to come here. You won’t be disappointed.
I took screenshots of some of the dishes. Wish I took more.
Service was good. Ethan was our waiter and he was excellent. The cook got my steak wrong and he made thing right and gave us a free dessert or to go appetizer. Manager came and spoke as well. Though the steak was over cooked the overall service was great. The combo appetizer was great. My wife enjoyed her shrimp scampi and pasta plate. I would come again and just check to make sure the steak gets cooked to order.
The Halibut & Sea Bass were absolutely delicious! The only issue was the sauted veggies I got with my Halibut dish. I mentioned to the waiter that the sauted veggies were so salty that I could not eat mine. It was almost like they had soaked the veggies in salt. The waiters only response was " Oh" okay, so did you want a to go box?" Other than that, the fish was amazing.
Took us six years of being in ABQ before finally going here. 🤦 Everything was delightful. The blue point oysters were as fresh as I've had anywhere and they actually had some decent wines on the list for pairing. But the part that really won me over was the free warmed bread served with a dish of roasted garlic bulbs!
My wife and I have chosen Pelicans as our favorite restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary for the past several years. The Prime Rib is exceptional as is the Clam Chowder. The bottomless Salad bowl is more than generous, fresh, crisp and delicious. The atmosphere, as well as your staff, are warm, friendly and inviting. We look forward to every anniversary, and spending a wonderful evening with you is truly a bonus. Blessings!

We decided to have our end of year holiday party at Pelicans West for our employees this year. This place never disappoints, so we were confident they could handle it. Our server did a great job, and everyone was super happy with their entrees! I have a feeling our team will choose them again next year. Hope we didn't eat all of the prime rib! Thanks
The steaks here are the best! Cooked perfectly! Lots of flavor! The most amazing salad...the ranch and blue cheese dressings were delicious. Baked potatoe was very good! Had a nice dinner!
Pelicans Westside has just reopened. Tonight had a couple of oysters and burger with onion rings. All was excellent. Chris waited on us and he did a great job. Glad to see they have reopened. Edit: Went back again about a month later. A dozen fresh raw oysters, good size. Baked oysters Rockefeller Excellent salmon and fish and chips spot on. Edit: Went back in late April 2023 with table for 10, not on a weekend. A different server named Chris, who has worked there several years handled the large group wonderfully. Raw oysters and Rockefeller excellent. Crab cakes have tons of crab, not much filler so they are excellent. Crab legs were delicious. Salad large and fresh. Fish and chips spot on again. A wonderful evening for our group on a special occasion. Thanks to all the folks at Pelicans.
We had a very nice experience at Pelicans for our first visit. We wanted something a little upscale to celebrate our anniversary but still family friendly since we had our toddler in tow. This restaurant really fit the bill. We were seated quickly in a booth as requested and were greeted by our server quickly. The food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the mussels for an appetizer and Alaskan king crab for dinner. Well prepared and very FRESH. My husband had the coconut shrimp, which was cooked well and tasty. I am very happy and looking forward to our next visit.
Absolutely the Best Steak in Albuquerque! I highly recommend the the Prime Rib.and the Blackened Ribeye. Both best at Medium Rare.
The best seat in the house is at the grill. Watching and listening to the Chef direct the entire operation and seeing the grill staff following in action is the best entertainment while dining in Albuquerque.
Pelican’s West is a must for steak lovers.
We have been coming to Pelican's for more than 20 years. We always bring our out of town family and friends here. It is the BEST restaurant in New Mexico!! Chad and Linda are amazing. Everything here gets better as each day progresses. If you have never tried Pelican's - you are missing the best food your taste buds will ever know. XOXO
Great food, great service! Got in on a busy father's day and everything went smoothly. I got the blackened prime rib, not what you'd expect from a seafood place, but it was excellent.
It's a smaller family owned business, not a national franchise funneling money out of the state.
This will be one of our goto celebration restaurants!
I had ordered the grilled salmon and the first time I got it I noticed it was extremely undercooked in the middle I then had the waiter take it back and when he came back with the 2nd dish it was still undercooked I could have gotten really sick! The waiter Sebastian did have great service! but those cooks really need to be reevaluated, I gave them two chances and both times they messed it up.
I am so glad this place opened up again and The food stayed delicious. I was treated for my birthday. A lot of places that serve steak can't seem to get med rare right or have a lack seasoning but this place was spot on. My father loved the fish and chips. My friend said she now has a new fish and chip place. Thank you for signing to me on birthday!
Friendly server, great food! Steak was prepared perfectly. Highly recommend! Nice wine list. Martini was excellent.
When in ABQ this is our go to spot for happy hour! Fried calamari, mussels are all on the happy hour menu and they are good! Good size as well! Only issue is they have run of the mill beer, Bud, Miller, Blue Moon etc.
Great service waiter was very good even though it seem to be a bust time for him
I recommend the shrimp scampi, it's in linguine. Noodles were cooked almost perfectly marinated with garlic tomatoes and capers so good...
Filet was undercooked but seasoned well. Also get the crab cakes!!! It's a must.
Anthony was awesome. We eat out a lot. He has been the 1st waiter to refill our drinks without having to ask. Made sure that we didn't need anything. This was our 1st visit to Pelican's, and we will be going back just for the service! I loved my visit being because not once did I have to ask for anything. Big THANKS to Anthony!
