"A thoughtful take on Southern African American cuisine, Lillie Pearl impressed me with dishes like short rib egg rolls—braised beef short ribs mixed with collards, pimento cheese, vegetables, and Thai basil sauce—while the lunch menu leans toward salads and sandwiches (fried chicken, slab bacon BLTs); if you can order from the dinner menu, the tender braised lamb shank atop Jollof rice is not to be missed. The group also operates Buttermilk and Honey Fried Chicken and Jubilee." - Missy Frederick
