Pearl’s Place Restaurant
About
Pearl’s Place Restaurant has fed Bronzeville from the corner of 39th and Michigan for more than 30 years, and the buffet is the reason most people come. Staff serve the food rather than leaving guests to help themselves, and the line moves through smothered chicken, jerk turkey, catfish, mac and cheese, greens and sweet potatoes before ending at banana pudding and sweet potato pie. Breakfast runs all day. The dining room is a dressier place than most soul food spots, and management asks guests to wear appropriate attire, though casual is fine.
