Pelicana opens in Annandale
Annandale’s newest restaurant, Pelicana, opened to big
crowds May 21. There were so many customers, in fact, they stopped filling takeout orders.

구라안치고 졸라 맛있음
I picked up a to go order last night and took it home.
We got a 24 piece boneless nuggets crispy. We got half Crispy to see what they were like and half with Yellow Snowing Cheese.
We also got an order of fries with White Snowing Cheese.
The Crispy chicken was fantastic and I am not sure how they did it because it did not seem greasy in the slightest but still very crispy.
The Yellow Snowing Cheese seemed to be almost a Cheetos flavor but very good.
The White Snowing Cheese fries were fantastic and tasted sweet.
I will definitely go again.
One thing, I was expecting more of a fast food vibe but it seems to be more of a lounge vibe. It was very nicely put together and had lots of staff.
