"Edgewater: Cajun and creole staple Pearl’s Southern Comfort has unveiled a Mardi Gras menu that includes fried Louisiana alligator bites, powdered sugar-dusted beignets, and king cake from Gambino’s in New Orleans, according to an Instagram post. Bartenders are also slinging hurricanes, Walking on Sunshines (gin, apertivo spritz, sparkling wine), and Grandma Pearl’s hot bourbon cider. On Sunday, musicians Eddie Torrez & Los Cool Shades will play classic NOLA tunes." - Naomi Waxman
"Edgewater might be a long way from the bayou, but that doesn’t stop Pearl’s Southern Comfort from bringing cajun and creole cuisine to the neighborhood. Diners here can pair hearty orders of jambalaya and shrimp and grits with potent sazerac and hurricane cocktails." - aimee.levitt, Eater Staff
"Two beloved American cookies come together in the pie Pearl's Southern Comfort, with a Nutter Butter filling atop an Oreo crust. After a savory spread of barbecue—Kansas City-style ribs, Carolina pulled pork—and sides like creole coleslaw, ready your fork for the Nutter Butter pie, sized well for two to split." - Sophie Friedman
"Beck also owns Pearl’s Southern Comfort in Edgewater." - Ashok Selvam
"Its enormous arched windows open up to a completely revamped 100-year-old room, featuring long exposed ceiling beams, whitewashed brick, dark slate walls, and soft leather chairs. But even with all that design swag, the main draw at Pearl's Southern Comfort is still the food. Creole cornbread with hot sauce-honey butter, crawfish cheesecake, blackened catfish with four-cheese macaroni and cheese and a double-cut pork chop served with grilled sweet potato and red beans and rice." - The MICHELIN Guide
