Pearl's PlaceJuly 9, 2013Why settle for a "Taste" when you could have it ALL? We're serving Chicago's favorite lunch buffet and breakfast all day, in our cool, comfy dining room - topped off with friendly service.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Ms. BucksDecember 22, 2014On my most recent visit I had an hankering for dressing & greens. Sad to say that Pearl's did one of the most southern cooking taboos know to man! They served canned greens & stove top stuffing. SMH.
Melissa OMJuly 6, 2014Great server, felt like we were with family. New Orleans breakfast was delicious. Excellent fried chicken and sides. Order eggs with cheese - without cheese they're bland. Delicious peach cobbler.
Cothan Pack Sr.September 27, 2017The mac&cheese was excellent, the candid yams was the bomb, the smothered pork chop was outstanding..
SyxxAugust 18, 2015Great food. Courteous staff. Decor needs work, but the food makes you forget the atmosphere.- Samantha HillApril 21, 2016Excellent fried chicken dinner. One of the best soul food restaurants in Chicago.
Vegletta Lewis CookApril 4, 2018Highly disappointed!!! Paid over $20 for two pieces of Catfish to go. In styrofoam!!! Presentation is everything. You only get one time to ‘Get Me’. FRFR Dinner was for my Auntie. She still hungry
Brian ChristopherMay 12, 2013This buffet is on smash...you will be tempted to go for seconds or even thirds--I promise you!
The servers like Deadra and marvin are great. So are the line cooks.
Some of the BEST salmon croquettes I've tasted! Delish!
Nak NaksJuly 28, 2017Its okayyyy If u can't cook... But very over priced... Too much pepper in the dressing.
