Pearl’s Pleasurable Eatery

Pearl’s Pleasurable Eatery is the ultimate Caribbean comfort food joint of 5th street. Upon entering, you will most likely be greeted by the owner, June or her husband. I must warn you, it’s a daunting task to place your order since the options are overwhelmingly mouth-watering. This family owned business offers entrées such as Fried fish, Jerk Chicken, BBQ, Goat, Brown stew chicken, Short ribs, Oxtail, and equally delicious sides like, mac and cheese, collard greens, rice and beans and fried plantains. As if you weren’t excited enough already…Pearl’s offers breakfast!

This, I have yet to try, but trust me, it won’t take me long to dabble in the Chicken and Waffles entrée offered at a reasonable price of 6.95.

If you like eating at restaurants that feel more like you are sitting in the owner’s kitchen, I can assure you that you will love Pearl’s Pleasurable Eatery.

Cafe Liz

Located at 5437 N. Lawrence Street, Cafe Liz is set back only a block away from the hustle and bustle of North 5th Street. It’s humble exterior may not draw you right in, but if you know what’s good, you will definitely give this place a try.

The lower level of this Portuguese gem serves as a local bar where patrons often come to watch soccer, or more authentically, “fútbol” matches on the large projection screen which covers the entire wall. The upstairs is a beautiful sit down dining room area, complete with white linen table cloths. The menu offers many traditional Portuguese dishes including a wide variety of seafood selections. The entrees rang from $14.00 and up and are worth every delicious penny!
