Pearls is a great little gem in Manchester. The food is really good, the atmosphere is nice and they have a cute little shop inside the restaurant. The best part of our dinner the other night was our server/bartender Dave. He's the main reason we go. He's fun to talk to, super attentive, and he recommended some awesome things we might not have otherwise tried. Every bar needs a fun personality behind it. Dave brings that to Pearls and it's why we always ask to sit in the Tavern room. (Ask Dave for a recommendation of one of his fun crafted cocktails and get the bacon wrapped jalapenos, you're welcome).

I cannot say enough good things about Pearl’s Place! We had the pleasure of Dave spoiling us through our night. The food and atmosphere were great but nothing beats their hospitality.

My friends and I rode our snowmobiles down the mountain for some food. We were blown away by the service and food. The atmosphere was perfect as well. We ate next to the fire pit and they also had appealing live Music inside. Dave was our bartender and he was awesome and can’t wait to visit again. Think snow! Thank you Pearls Place for a great experience.

We recently visited Pearl’s Place & Pantry and were very pleased. It’s a must-visit spot if you’re in the area. We ordered the fried mac and cheese, which was excellent, and the cabbage steak, beautifully presented with a wonderful chimichurri and pepper oil combination. The flavors were well-balanced, though I’d suggest cooking the cabbage a bit more for enhanced flavor and easier eating. The stuffed jalapeno peppers were fantastic, and the fried chicken with sweet potato glazed with maple syrup was a highlight, especially paired with spinach. The spinach was slightly overcooked; a touch of lemon zest or garlic could have made it more vibrant and creamy. Our server, whose name I unfortunately forgot, provided stellar service. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and family-friendly. We left very satisfied and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Great first time visit tonight! Great (very filling) food, attentive service and a nice clean dining area.

We loved our experience here! My partner mentioned in the reservation that it was our anniversary, and the staff went above and beyond. They congratulated us as soon as we were seated and even surprised us with flowers at our table, which they also wrapped for us to take home after our meal! Beyond the super thoughtful service, the food and drinks were also great! We loved the corn fritter starters, the chocolate old fashioned, and the gumbo in particular. Every dish was delicious, but the hospitality made the night truly special.

Everything about our dinner this evening was a 10/10. Jodi, our waitress, set the tone from the moment we sat down and needed suggestions to offering us complimentary corn bread with peach butter! Her warmth and good cheer is what true hospitality is all about. We felt so taken care of and cared for, not to mention we finished every last bite of our food. We will be coming back every time we visit VT moving forward!

A Hidden Gem in Manchester — Pearl’s Place Delivers Perfection If you're anywhere near Manchester, Vermont, Pearl’s Place is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a sparkling clean and beautifully maintained dining area that sets the tone for what’s to come. The attention to detail in both the ambiance and cleanliness is a testament to the pride the staff clearly take in their work. Now for the food — this is where Pearl’s truly shines. I ordered the brisket plate, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The brisket was tender, juicy, and perfectly smoked, with just the right amount of char and fat to melt in your mouth. The mashed potatoes with cream gravy were smooth, rich, and comforting — classic comfort food elevated to an art form. Add the fresh, bright broccolini and the beautifully roasted garlic bulb, and you’ve got a plate that hits every note. Their house sour cream came in a metal ramekin and was an excellent touch, and the rosemary sprig garnish gave a refined, aromatic finish to the whole experience. To top it off, the water was served in a frosted turquoise bottle that felt classy and refreshing — just another small detail that proves how Pearl’s Place goes the extra mile. Whether you're a local or just passing through southern Vermont, Pearl’s Place is the kind of spot you wish you discovered sooner. Cozy, clean, and consistently excellent, it’s a five-star experience from the first bite to the last.
