On 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.

Why 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 .

Melissa OM

Great 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 .

The mac&cheese was excellent, the candid yams was the bomb, the smothered pork chop was outstanding..

Excellent fried chicken dinner . One of the best soul food restaurants in Chicago.
