A few weeks back, my TLO editor Patrick told me about Pelican’s, 291 N. Air Depot Blvd. in Midwest City.
Opening in 1980, and apparently not changing a lot since, he wistfully recalled a 20th-century style seafood spot stuck in a bygone era, a place where wood, wood, and more wood adorned the interior, and a Steak and Ale inspired salad bar took center stage; a place that survived while its cohorts like Garfield’s, Harry Bears, and Der Dutchman went overboard.
I honestly had no clue what Patrick was talking about.
