Pelican Waters Tavern is located on the scenic canals of Pelican Waters in Caloundra and offers a relaxed atmosphere for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of suburbia. We cater for families, couples, sneaky first dates or a special night out with friends and family. Our Family Bistro has an extensive menu in addition to kids and seniors menus to keep the whole family happy.

The Sports Bar offers a relaxed and friendly environment, perfect for catching up with friends or a casual drink. Soak up the views over a refreshing drink and delicious meal on our large outdoor patio overlooking the water. Caloundra Cruises launches from right next to the venue, so once off from a morning tour, pop in for lunch, or if doing an evening tour, come in for dinner.

Went out for dinner with family.
All of our Vegetables where stone cold,
Supposed to be mushy peas on the pie, They where cold whole peas.
I ordered a medium rare steak, The "Chef"??? cut my steak to see if it was cooked.
All in all, we don't think we will ever go back.
Unfortunately I had to give a 1 star, otherwise it would have been a ZERO.
Totally disappointing experience.

Plenty of parking. Good service even though it was busy. Table overlooking canal (requested at booking). My meal was perfectly cooked pork sirloin chop, Brussels sprouts and chat potatoes. Will go again.

Great location and possibly they were having an off night last night. We waited more than an hour for our meals. There were five of us dining and all five meals came out one at a time across a 20 minute window.
Once they arrived the meals were quite good.
They did at least shout us a round of drinks when we had been waiting an hour.

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 πŸ™‚

At the entrance it seemed as though the staff didn't want to be there. We weren't seated just told to go over and sit even though I had made a booking days prior. I received a delicious midori splice from the extremely nice young lady at the bar. While ordering multiple meals the young girl who was new seemed to have screwed up the order (which is totally fine and understandable). The manager or the man who wasn't wearing the same outfit as anyone else came over to "help" bringing with him his disgusting attitude and non-willingness to be helpful towards my family or the young woman who started

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
