I've never left a buffet hungry before... That is until I went to Pelican Point. We stayed on Sapelo island this weekend and wanted some fresh seafood on the water before heading home. I just searched for food nearby and this glorious mistake popped up into my life. I knew from the musty smell when I walked in that I was going to have a bad experience but my significant other was too hungry to care. He paid a whopping $70 for us both to eat here (which is normally what we would spend on a week's worth of groceries!). I started with a salad and they only had 4 dressings, none of which looked the least bit healthy. I took one bite of my salad and couldn't even finish it because the dressing was straight up raunchy. So I moved onto the seafood. I gathered up a plate of the grilled fish, some fried shark and some deviled crab thing. I sat down to eat it and I literally lost my appetite entirely. At this point my boyfriend is looking like he wants to kill me after he just dropped all that money and I couldn't even touch the food. So, I go back and get the crab legs. The first few I had were satisfying but after you eat a lot of them the seasoning becomes too much and you just can't consume anymore. I had to use the restroom after I ate and I almost threw it all up right there in the bathroom after I saw how disgusting it was. The bathroom was nauseating to say the least. In fact, it was so gross that I wouldn't even poop there if I had to. It's sad because the staff is nice but they seriously need new management/owner.

I visited this place often but hadn't been in about 5 years & expected so much more than what I found. Maybe that was where things went wrong, b/c I expected too much. We visited on a Sunday for lunch & maybe that too was where we went wrong. Over an hour drive I had to potty as soon as we arrived & found the bathroom to be nasty. Each toilet was fitly, the cleanest one I could find had skid marks (poop down & around the inside of the rim. There was only stall doors, no bathroom door. No sweetener packets on our table or the one closets to us. Food was okay but not worth the money. Hate having to pay before we eat b/c when you pay with a card you have to tip before you even know how the service was. Not keeping a drink refilled is not good service. Waitress was sweet but it didn't make up for the lack of refills. Seemed a little shaky when we drove up & should have been an indication to turn around & go back to the other place we knew was good just a little ways back down the road. Maybe I watch too much Food Network & Restaurant Impossible to know this place can use some help & could do better.

I'm not sure what the reviewers who rated this place higher than a 2 star experienced but unless it was something resembling Grandma's Thanksgiving dinner, I don't understand their logic. My husband and I tried Pelican Point tonight and for a quarter of the price, could have had the exact same things with better flavor and all you can eat sushi at our local Hibachi Grill & Chinese buffet. The service was the only thing that I can say was decent. Our server refilled our drinks promptly before we asked. Other than that, I'm not sure why we just paid $64.00 for overcooked, lukewarm, old tasting crap.

I started my experience here as a return customer, I had eaten here years ago and found it to be a nice place. Come with me and il recount my journey into the abyss. As I entered the front door I was immediately assailed by hand-written signs on printer paper reading "no re-entry due to high volume of guest" and "no waitress allowed" tacked to every surface. My trepidation mounted, it had become clear to me that there was no return to this place. I made my way to the cashier, where I counted five cameras in separate locations, all pointed at the cash register. The poor woman, toiling in an Orwellian state of surveillance, timidly took my cash and I was ushered to my table by a waitress. The waitress, whom I did not know long enough to get a name, brought us drinks and promptly disappeared into the door to the kitchen, never to be seen again. I had come expecting a seafood buffet, and wandered aimlessly among the platters of spare ribs, barbecue wings, and french fries seeking these elusive fish. My wanderings led me to a hole in the wall looking into a small room just big enough for a crab steamer, a hot plate. and Crab Guy. Crab Guy is an older black man, reminiscent of Curtis Lowe of Lynyrd skynyrd fame. I approached Crab Guy's cubby hole slowly, Asking for the promised seafood. "YU WONT CRAB?!" he yelled. I managed a nod "HABOUT PRY RIB?" I nodded again. "GRAB YE STEK NIFE" I reached into the dirty steel cup and selected a knife. I was indebted to this man, this lonely denizen of the meat closet, had provided me with a weapon and provisions to aid me in my time of need. I said farewell to my sweaty savior and ventured back to find my table, giving the yawning maw of the kitchen door a wide berth, as it had yet to regurgitate my unfortunate waitress. The remainder of my time there was a pleasant purgatory, and after checking for my belongings (knowing that re-entry to retrieve them would surely be met with burning oil or the stake) I traveled home. Little did I know what personal, shameful hell was yet to come. I made it to my home just in time for the cramps to begin, horrible, wracking pain deep in my bowels as if my body was screaming in a tortured chant "WHAT HATH YOU WROUGHT UPON ME?". I sequestered myself within my bathroom, where over the next four hours I reached depths of depravity and torment deeper than any I had experienced in my short life. Afterwards I felt as Dante, having traveled through the gates of the netherworld and back again. I still think of Crab Guy, my black Sisyphus, forced to serve an unending horde of hungry mouths, emptying a steamer of crabs onto their plates, only to have it filled again. My review sums up as this; Abandon hope all who enter here.

I was on vacation in Savannah and I had to drive 50 miles south to try this place out. Its in the middle of nowhere by the river. I almost got lost even with a gps. The gps takes you into the water but your supposed to take a left first. And the driveway to get to the place is like somebody's yard almost, like a dirt road. The service is great. Got refills super fast, super friendly staff. And for $30, included a drink too. The crab legs were very big, well seasoned, and plentiful. The prime rib steak was the best, so tender and moist. The fried oysters, fish, crab cakes, and fresh oysters was very good as well. The view by the window table was awesome in where you can stare outside on the docks and there are fishing boats as well. There is neat statues and decorations throughout the dining area. The dining area is huge. I will definitely go back again.

We've eaten at Pelican Point 4 times in the last 15 years as we've had family living near Savannah. Of the 4 times we've eaten there, (2) have been in the last 5 years. I believe that people in general are way, way too hard to please; and, many reviewers in my opinion seem to over-think reviews. So sometimes I have a hard time taking a review seriously; that being said, with plenty of experience with Pelican Point, I hate to say it, but their food is just getting worse every time we go. We're never going back to be truly candid. The staff was friendly enough, but the food was just horrible. As most seafood places tend to be dirty somewhat, you have to prepare yourself for that; and that doesn't bother me really, especially if the food is good and the atmosphere is local; however, Pelican Point's owners seem to have made no improvements in a long, long time. What's sad about that is that the atmosphere is really neat, or should I say, it could be. It's literally on the river; so the views are amazing. It's got a really cool feel to it, and it's a shame that it's becoming so run down and neglected. Over all, It's dirty, and I can promise you I'm not a neat freak! So if I think it's dirty, it usually is way below par! Restrooms were horrible. Ice Cream scoops were so covered in some odd colored growth barnacle things that I literally would not let my son use it. In fact, the cleanliness of the place made me wonder if those who run the health food/inspection code for the county had even been there in a decade. The crab legs are good no doubt, and they've been good every time I must say. However, the buffet is not way overpriced for the quality of the food in general. Like most buffets, it's overcooked from sitting out too long. It's all fried food for the most part, so it's just heavy, greasy type food. You almost have the feel that you went to a family style cheap buffetl and yet paid good money for it. Personally, I hate having to post a bad review, but this place seems to have passed the point of return unless new ownership comes in who would have some pride in their establishment at least to the point of cleaning it up, and then making the food worth the price you pay. Sorry Pelican Point. It's like watching an old friend fade away. Sad.

This place really is an amazing, beyond belief joint. just waiting for some food network show to show up and screw it up for everyone. Driving there, the GPS lost where we were several times, through a bunch of different residential areas- houses, and trailers and the such. Anyway, going into the restaurant, the line reminded me of a buffet in Reno. Cool mix of rural Georgia folks in here. You don't see people wearing overalls out in California- not that there is anything wrong with that. They had the biggest selection of seafood I had ever seen. Man, they had so many shrimp. And crab legs. I couldn't eat til like 5 pm the next day. I didn't even touch the meat they had. Man, what a great place. I am just pissed off I only came here once.

Worst place I ever ate. The buffet was way overpriced, and the food was cold. The only thing that was good was the crab legs, and they weren't worth 55.00! The service sucked, the waitress did not come by to see if we needed anything we had to flag her down several times. There were maybe 4 other tables in the whole place, so it wasn't because the place was packed. I ordered a grey goose and pineapple, and 15 minutes later, my husband walked to the bar and picked them up off the bar because the hostess made them and didn't bother to bring them to us, when we were a table away from the bar. And when he brought it to me, it was clear. Where I come from, pineapple is yellow. Not clear. Then when I disputed it and asked them to take it off because I sent it back I had to argue with the owner/manager to take it off. Needless to say we won't ever be going back. It was one of our last nights together before my husband is deployed with the army, and it was a big dissapointment for us. Don't go there unless you want crappy service and cold seafood.

This place is out there and you have to go through a community to get there. Right off the lake and so many people are just hanging outside waving to the folks who drive by. I thought that was cute! I really expected the buffet to offer more but man those crabs legs were perfection! Nice size and juicy! I was expecting the macaroni and mashed potatoes to be way better...pretty gross. My tequila sunrise was weak too! I tasted mostly juice. The fried shrimp and crab cakes were awesome ! They did have a good selection of deserts in which I did cookies and cream ice cream and a cheesecake.

Crab legs are good... But that's about it. I would waste my time here... I can walk to this place and refuse to eat here anymore. Gets progressively worse every time. Needs to be torn down.

So there's something to be said about a seafood buffet that's built right next to a small fishing port. Georgia shrimp is really good. Gulf shrimp has nothing on it. Its a little heavy on the fried side, but not exactly greasy. And the service is excellent. Make sure to wash it down with some sweet tea.

It had been about 20 years since we had been. It was $32 each. There were a total of 8 people including us. They would bring out about 20 fried shrimp at a time. We had to constantly wait the crab legs were good they had over cooked dry prime rib fish scallops. And the rest was vegetables. They don't have to worry about us going back. It's sad that ole time buffet is $10 each and has a huger selection and the food is much better
