Southern Cooking and Barbecue

Dinner Mon-Saturday | 5-8:30pm

Sunday from 4-8pm

Pearl’s Place & Pantry is a Southern‑style kitchen and gourmet market in the Green Mountains of Manchester, Vermont. Open for dinner evenings, we serve house‑smoked barbecue and classic Southern dishes—think pulled pork, fried chicken, shrimp & grits—paired with craft cocktails, local brews and fine wines. In our cozy, beautifully renovated space (with indoor seating, a breezy patio and firepit) you can also browse a curated pantry stocked with Vermont‑made products. Whether you’re dining in, picking up a market find, or planning a BBQ catering event, Pearl’s blends down‑home hospitality with regional flavor to welcome everyone who walks through the door.
