Pelican Point Restaurant and Lounge

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.

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.

Pelican Point is a hidden jewel tucked in Crescent, GA.  If you want to hang with the locals, this is the place.  It is hard to get to, mainly, b/c you go through patches of residential areas that leave you thinking, "Did I make a wrong turn?"  (There are a few signs along the way.)  Pelican Point is located along the Sapelo River and there are many shrimps boats docked along the shore.  They have a fabulous buffet with all you can eat crab legs and prime rib!  Oh, and everything else in between.  I think we paid $33-$35 per person for the buffet.  Well worth every penny.  On the weekends, get there early because the place fills up fast.  The dress code is casual.  If you dress up, they'll immediately flag you as a tourist!
