Pearlie's Restaurant

"Running a successful restaurant is serious business. Planning and coordinated business management is key. I love the history of the restaurant and grew up eating at Pearlies. Yet, from review of their menu, it's obvious that too many items are on the menu, the operating time is restrictive, not to mention the delivery service with short staff. Narrow down your menu focus to only a few specialty items, offer bottled and can cold drinks, and seek business advice with a business consultant so your restaurant can succeed. Best of luck Dr. Helen Hall"

"I was just having a conversation with my girlfriend about the worst food I had on the road as a truck driver. This was it, I was happy to support a black owned business, so I ordered a bunch of food. Everything I ordered was nasty and barely warm. This was in 2016/2017 when I used deliver to twins cold storage. Im from Philly and always felt like I was at home when visiting Newport News."

"Good food"

"I order some lasagna and it was frozen with a lot of water in the bottom of my plate and when i told them they just took the piece i had and put it in the microwave and gave it back...please do not eat here it was the worst"

"It was the perfect soul food experience I love Pearlie's use to hear my mother talk about this place, and how she used to eat there when she was a kid."
