pe2 1Pelican Grille

Tucked inside the clubhouse at Moody Gardens Golf Course, the Pelican Grille is Galveston’s only restaurant where your view comes with 500 palm trees, paspalum fairways, and Sydnor Bayou shimmering in the background. You don’t need a tee time, a membership, or even a set of clubs to walk in and grab a seat.

Open daily to the public. Located in the clubhouse at 1700 Sydnor Lane, just minutes from Moody Gardens.
