Rusty Pelican Cafe

We went at 1pm on a Monday, no wait. I tried the Greek omelette, which was pretty good. Potatoes were ok after pouring some hot sauce. The biscuit was a bit too bread-y to enjoy with butter/jam, but with gravy it was good. The service was quick and kind, and the environment is a step up from your typical breakfast diner vibe. It has an intimate setup and pleasant warm lighting. The reason I rate 4 stars instead of 5 is because they are too expensive for what they offer. The food is good (not mind blowing), but the portions can be small depending on what you get. The biscuit and gravy with 2 eggs and fruit (pictured) was $17, definitely steep for the portions. The omelette plate was bigger portions but $18, still not quite worth it to me. I would go back to try more menu items (I haven't given their sweet breakfast items a chance yet). But overall, the prices to portion ratio would make me consider other places first.

There is just something about that local place that makes you think of good home cooking. This is the place! That hometown friendly staff and hearty portions of food. It's always a treat to come here. They offered a meatlovers omelet covered in an incredible gravy on the specials menu today. Oh my, that was sooo good! Have always loved their coffee too, I think the creamer makes it irresistible. Prices are a tad to the higher side, but you'll always have extra food to take home with you. Until next time...

Went on a Sunday. Only had to wait for 15 min for a table for 4. I would've given it more stars except the food was a bit pricey considering it's not in Seattle and it's not like they had views (think $13 for coffee with Kahlua and $10 for a side of their special potatoes). Also, our hostess left a bad taste in our mouth when she told us we couldn't be seated unless our whole party was there or we had to order their food for them. Wait what? Our 4th member was only 10 min away due to snow issues in the parking lots. Needless to say, we said sure and were seated. Our friend arrived and sat before our drink order was even taken 🙄. I'd understand if we were a larger party with reservations, but again it was 4 of us and 3 were already there. It's not like 3 people being seated meant we were holding up more than 1 table or group.

This was my third time visiting this restaurant on my own and the fourth time being with a friend. You have the options of inside or outside dining... On a Saturday or Sunday I would recommend the outside dining as it is less noisy. I have had eggs benedict in one form of the other every time and it is delicious! The service is fabulous! I highly recommend it and I am a fan of breakfast/brunch!

What a charming little spot for brunch! Ordered the lite Gyro Salad and shared a Nutella/banana crepe and everything was so delish! The mango purée mimosa was also delectable… i could hardly taste the booze but could certainly feel it :) Flavorful, good sized portions, friendly and quick service… can’t go wrong! I definitely will be back!

Good spot for breakfast. I'll admit we didn't stray too far off the norm for breakfast...went with crepes, pancakes and waffles. Didn't try the Benedicts which they are known for. Only four stars as my waffles were on the cooler side on arrival, but everything tasted great and service was top notch. Wait on a busy weekend was only about 20 minutes, so enjoy a stroll around Edmonds while you wait...

This is a great local restaurant to get some really good breakfast from. Super popular so plan ahead. The staff were all amazing and really enjoyed our time here. The food was hot and fresh that would not disappoint anyone. The other thing is there is something for everyone on the menu. Don't pass this place without trying them out. Give a thumbs up to help others.
