The Pelican's Landing restaurant at Cedar Mills Marina is a nine-minute stroll south of the aircraft parking area at Cedar Mills. It is part of the huge, Cedar Mills Marina.

Lunch and dinner is moderately priced. Burgers are less than $4 and dinners begin at $9. Hangarmate Dan Meeks, a frequent visitor, claims the lunch and dinner is just as delicious as breakfast.
