    We had a fabulous meal at Pearl’s Place & Pantry. Excellent service, a lovely atmosphere, and an inventive menu…full of southern favorites. The BBQ was sone of the best we’ve ever had…. Pearl’s is a bit pricy but worth every penny, to be sure.

    Smoked meats were very good , even though less than warm. The Gumbo however was the worst I have ever had as it lacked sausage, okra, crab and the usually expected flavors and spiciness. It had 4-6 shrimp. And all for over $30. Also, we had asked to have this as an appetizer to share and to please serve it very hot. It was served warm and together with the entrees. The atmosphere and Rioja wine we selected were good though. Won't be back.

    We were seated right by the fireplace, perfect because we were chilly! Our waitress helped us select a delicious meal and we ate every bite. A lovely evening at Pearl’s! Will come back again for sure.

    The service was outstanding. Very very friendly and engaging, and good advice on the food. Southern Vermont may not be known for southern cuisine, but this place really works. And an outstanding selection of bourbons and ryes.
