Pearl’s Place
3901 S Michigan Ave Chicago, IL 60653
I randomly picked this place while visiting Chi Town from Philly and WOW!!! So impressed from the moment we walked in! Super impressed by how serious they are about Covid restrictions (plastic wrapped silverware, washing hands upon entry). Our waitress was super friendly, food came fast and it was DELICIOUS! And the free biscuits…SOOO GOOD!!! Highly, highly recommend. I wish I had some photos to share but I ordered the Country Fried Steak dinner and my friend got the fried green tomatoes & Famous Shrimp and Cheesy Grits Appetizer- Zakiya K.

Came here for the first time with my cousin for her birthday. The food was AMAZING We ate outside due to covid but tables are properly social distanced. Customer service was great and food came out at a good time. Coviana A.

This is one of the hidden gems as far as Southern cuisine (with a twist) goes on the southside. The food is simply amazing it’s always consistent with the taste and how it is prepared. It seems as if they never have a bad day. I love all of their dishes. They did a birthday party for me recently and people were constantly talking about how good the food was. This restaurant is a must try, you will not be disappointed. The staff members are very friendly and kind. They are a pleasure to do business with. The salmon is always cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes are to die for. If they happen to have the poundcake the day you decide to go, make sure to pick up a slice I’m sure you will really enjoy it. Marcella D.

This is an excellent place. My school scheduled an event there. There was an open bar. The bar tenders were very attentive and efficient. And friendly. The food set out for our party was shrimp, wings, meatballs, salad, cheese, etc. the shrimp, wings and cheese are delicious. Steve W.

Jamaican Jerk King
Fantastic!!! Best sauce! Not too sweet. Tender, flavorful, delicious meat. The greens were savory, the rice and gravy fulfilling and hearty. I have tried various veggie sides and they are all good. I love to heat up the sides the next day, even though the meat is gone they are still yummy. Sasha V.
