Pearl’s Diner

This is a wonderful hometown dinner. The food was great southern cooking. Loved the cute little dinner.

The food was perfect. I'm a good cook myself, so I'm picky about all the "down home cooking" claims, but this one lives up to it. Service was quick and friendly, prices were reasonable. Our party ordered ribs, chicken, Lima beans, baked sweet potato, Cole slaw, and banana pudding. Oh, and can't forget the jalapeno cornbread. I would have preferred more heat from the jalapenos, but that's a matter of individual taste and you just cannot please everyone, even when you're excellent. I will be returning.

Just a fun place to go when we are in Laurel. Better get there right when they open though because they get busy in a hurry. Great food, fun retro atmosphere.

Sadly we were disappointed in our Pearl's experience as the temperature of our food - what was supposed to be hot was COLD! We had looked forward to eating lunch at Pearl's when we visited. We were welcomed in (no steps so scooter friendly!) and there was a table available. The food was delivered to the table and we never saw another employee - no one asked how things were. By this time the line was long so we ate what we could and trashed the rest of our over $50 lunch! Coke products are served. The ladies room is accessible but not very clean. Sorry, this was just not the way we wanted to start our day in Laurel. Please check on your patrons to see if they are happy with their meal! Not sure what would have been done if given the opportunity...but disappointed all around.

I'm not from the South but, y'all, this food is so good! I thoroughly enjoyed everything on my plate! I got the fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and squash. The jalapeno cornbread was amazing! The chicken was crisp and the breading was light. Companion got the cabbage and rice with gravy. She said the cabbage wasn't cooked enough but some people like it that way. She really enjoyed the rice and gravy. After eating all that, there was no room left for dessert, unfortunately. The people were nice and friendly and the food was served quickly. I definitely recommend!

Food was quick and the servers friendly. A true southern meat and three
