Michigan is known for all sorts of tasty fare. Whether you’re craving pasties, Detroit-style pizza, or coney dogs, you’re sure to find an option that delights your taste buds here in the Great Lakes State. But every once in a while, there’s a certain thrill in escaping the norms of life in Michigan and indulging in the flavors of another region. When you’re longing for an authentic New Orleans experience without venturing down to the Big Easy, we’ve got just the place for you.
Pearl’s New Orleans Kitchen is located at 617 Ames Street in Elk Rapids.
Pearl’s seems to be hidden in plain sight — tucked away far from the bustling atmosphere of Michigan’s larger cities, this is one spot that’s worth searching for.
Indulge in a classic like jambalaya or enjoy a plate of crawfish prepared with just the right amount of seasoning. Can you imagine anything more delicious?
That’s not all: the New Orleans flair continues here at Pearl’s. You’ll also find options like blackened alligator, Po’ Boy sandwiches, and etouffé. Yum!
Cheddar grits, fried green tomatoes, whitefish muffuletta, gumbo, and so much more — with these options and countless others, it’s impossible to go wrong.
If you’ve had the chance to visit New Orleans, you know that a bit of alcohol adds to the fun. Don’t leave Pearl’s without sipping on a specialty cocktail or two.
Of course, no trip to New Orleans is complete without a few sweets, and Pearl’s serves up everything from beignets to bananas foster for a sugary finish.
With friendly service, indoor and outdoor dining areas, and an undeniably hospitable atmosphere, you’ll wonder if you’ve been transported down south as you enjoy your visit to this lively locale.
So, what are you waiting for? You might not be able to swing a real trip to New Orleans, but Pearl’s makes it easy to experience the excitement and flavor of the Big Easy without leaving the familiarity of Michigan.
