    Very good dinner at Pearl’s. Pearl’s offers a relaxed atmosphere, good drinks and great southern food. We had the deviled eggs appetizer, delicious. Two in our party had the barbecue, pulled pork and brisket, along with collard greens and the mashed potatoes. It was nice that a delicious moist piece of cornbread and pickled vegetables were also included. Another in our party had the hamburger, which he loved. I had a special, crawfish etouffee, also very good. It was easy to talk because the noise level was tolerable in the back room that had noise absorbers in the ceiling. Unfortunately I can’t remember our servers name but he was attentive and provided good guidance. Overall we had an excellent experience.

    It was a busy weekend, and the restaurant was full. We still had great service and delicious food. The ribs were outstanding. And thanks to our server, I had the spicy chicken sandwich I was craving.

    This is our third time dining at Pearls. Every time we visit Stratton, we make it a point to stop there for dinner. We have never been disappointed. Bacon on a clothesline is amazing. The entrees are delicious and so was dessert. Our server was friendly and informative. We’ll be back!!!

    Very good food, and service was outstanding. We have several true bbq places back home (Westchester county NY) and Pearls Place ranks right up there at the top with them. Don’t forget to get a dessert too… can’t wait to come back!

    Overall Okay - service was friendly but slow even during a slow time of 5:30 pm, but that may have been because our server had to wait on both inside and outside tables (not her fault). Ambience was very nice, country warm and cozy. Food was just okay - half the meat was cold, possibly due to the server being the same person to run the food out while she had to work both inside and outside tables, and the pulled pork was dry, beef ribs were juicy and meat came right off the bone, candied sweet potatoes were cold and carmelized to the parchment on the tray. If it wasn't for the genuine pleasantness of the server it would have been disappointing

    Pearl's never disappoints, which is why it's our go-to spot when we've got guests. Our whole party was raving about the food and the charm of your dining rooms.
