Lettuce for the salad was looking a bit lower class. We passed on it. Fish was just ok. Nothing special. Waitress was spot on. Ice tea was great. We were not ready for the price tag at the end. $53.23 for two adults kind of caught us off guard. Never saw the price posted anywhere. For the small amount my wife eats it wasn't worth it. If you go I would say it's OK. Nothing more.

And this is 1 spot that hits just about every box for me. They have seats for dining in & tvs. I went on a Sunday right before they were closing at 4. It's already hard enough to find a good soul food spot open on a Sunday. The staff took my order over the phone and I got there 15 minutes later and it was ready. I tried their fried chicken with some creamy mac & cheese & dressing. Now prior to this Ive had similar meals at other locations and was not impressed. This spot definitely made my visit! The food was so hot, good, and seasoned well; even my mom was impressed. So that's a great sign. I would definitely be back.

This was a must stop at place for my mom and I. We learned about Pearl's Diner from the show…read moreHometown and knew we had to visit once coming to Laurel. It is only open for lunch from 11-2pm Tuesday through Saturday. We made sure we got in line a few minutes before 11am. Yes a line, so get there early. The doors opened right at 11am and you order from the counter and have a seat. The staff is welcoming and assist with the line and seating to have everything move smoothly. The prices were not bad at all and we got alot of food. The fried chicken is out of this world. A must get. You won't regret it. It is so flavorful with crispy skin, yet moist chicken. Also, it is not super greasy which was my favorite part. I enjoyed the green beans and corn on the cob. The jalapeño corn bread was amazing! My mom got the black eyed peas, mac n cheese, and regular cornbread with her fried chicken. She raved about the black eyes peas. We also ordered banana pudding and Mrs. Pearl's Cheesecake. The banana pudding was my favorite and a great sweet treat to round out my southern meal. The inside of the diner is not very large but does have plenty of seating inside and some outside. While we did not see Mrs. Pearl, her sister greeted us and was definitely running the diner while we were there.

We knew when we walked through the door that we had picked the right place. Filled with locals and the aroma of fresh home cooking. "Mama's" son immediately struck up a conversation with us. Where we were traveling to? Where we were from? He thanked us for stopping in to eat with them and even sent over a sample of bread pudding for us to try. (We're from Louisiana--bread pudding is a big deal there). The bread pudding was delicious. It was different than what we have in Louisiana. The "greens" were perfectly seasoned-not even a hint of bitterness. The jalapeño cornbread was great and the chicken was fried to perfection. I would definitely go back. The food was delicious and the Southern Hospitality was off the charts.

The staff was extremely friendly and patient while customers made their selections. You go up to the counter to order & pay and they bring your food out when it's ready.

We ordered the BBQ ribs & tips w/cabbage & dressing, BBQ ribs & tips w/green beans & yams, and the Chicken & dumplings w/green beans & baked beans. The meals all came with cornbread. The ribs had the perfect amount of smoke flavor & bbq sauce. They were also nice and tender. The sides were all flavorful and nicely seasoned, the cornbread was excellent.

I've had the dinner buffet before and it is really good as well!! Everything was seasoned well. I didn't eat anything that I didn't enjoy. I love how my drink was still cold because of the cup to they serve the drinks in. The ambiance is very family style and it is good for big groups. We had a group of 20 and we were accommodated well. Now here's for the breakdown of the buffet that I can remember. Meats: catfish, pork chops, chicken, blackened catfish, fried liver, bbq chicken, fried shrimp, and pot roast Sides and veggies: greens, black eyed peas, fried okra corn, fried green tomatoes, rice (sorta like a dirty rice), mashed potatoes, yams, hush puppies, mac &cheese, Mexican corn bread, regular corn bread, corn salad, salad bar, pasta salad, etc Desserts: plenty were available.
