It was truly one of the best meals we've had! Definitely start with the focaccia and whipped feta... unbelievable! The corn ribs are out of this world, and Mike cooked the best NY strip and pork chop. We sat at the counter, and Mike was so fun to chat with whole he prepared the main courses. Then the cookies... They come with this milk dipping sauce that is unbelievable. Can't wait to go back!

Everything was great until the main course came, pork was too dry, steak was salty. But service, drinks and Apps are really good.

This was my 2nd visit to the restaurant after we had raved about it the last time we were in Nashville. It did not disappoint. As last time, everything was exceptional from cocktails to our server, Ian. The food is consistently excellent, and the ambiance is perfect. Thank you guys for another great experience! I’ll be back next time I’m in Nashville!

I went to the Pelican & Pig a couple times before Covid. It was a fantastic experience. I am so very happy to say that this time it was even better than I remembered it… Pelican & Pig got better- way better. Go! No matter the day or occasion, you will not be disappointed.

Our second time here and it was great! We sat at the counter which made the experience really fun - seeing the team grill/cook together. Service was great and while it was a little loud, we could still have a conversation. Will definitely be back!
