Pearly's Beach Eats

On our recent vacation to Florida, we found some decent restaurants that we thought would be a great additions to our blog. 

We came across Pearly's Beach Eats online and we were immediately intrigued.




After swimming with manatees we finally worked up an appetite so we stopped at Pearly's for lunch. Pearly's is a small restaurant with a unique menu that offers Mexican, American and seafood. It was a very fun place to eat, they have outdoor seating in the shade with surfboard tables! It was a great atmosphere to have beach themed food.






Fish Sandwich



The fish sandwich at Pearly's is out of this world! You have the choice to have your fresh Cobia fish blackened or fried, we went with the fried. The sandwich consists of a fresh piece of cobia, lettuce, tomato, and tarter sauce on a grilled bun. We were blown away by the first bite, the fish tasted unbelievable. The batter had so much flavor and was seasoned beautifully, and the fish was fresh, you couldn't really ask for more. The toasted bun was a nice touch and the tartar sauce was also delicious. The sauce had a nice tanginess to it that went well with the richness of the fried Cobia. This is a sandwich that we would definitely order again!

Chicken Taco





The chicken taco was a nice simple and delicious option on Pearly's menu. It was a tortilla filled with grilled shredded chicken, plantain mole sauce, mango salsa, shredded cheese, and cilantro all on top of a cheesy potato hash brown casserole. It was a very interesting take on a taco. The chicken was decent, it wasn't really seasoned like we were expecting but the cheesy potato hash helped back it up along with the salsa and mole sauce. The sauce and salsa were interesting, they gave the taco a tangy vegetation flavor that should be on a taco.

Pork Taco



The pork taco was a tortilla filed with pulled pork, tomatillo salsa, pickled onions and shredded cheese. We weren't blown away by the pork taco, but we didn't hate it either. The meat was cooked well, it wasn't over cooked or dry and had a slow cooked smokiness to it which is always good. The tomatillo salsa was good on this taco, we maybe would have preferred a little more of it but other than that it was a fairly decent taco.



We had a wonderful time at Pearly's and we were very satisfied with our food. Their something for everybody on the menu which is a great quality. We would like to come back again for some more beach eats in the future!

This has been a food review from a yours truly, TASTY

    The Pearly's family thanks Tasty for this insightful review of our menu and our offerings...Tasty, you'll need to try a few other things to really get the flavor of Pearly's: The BLT has added guacamole, so is a BLTG; The favorite on the menu is the fish taco, for good reason; our Cuban features the pulled pork and it's a beauty; but my favorite is the pulled pork sandwich; Rusty, James, and the crew marinate it in a secret apple marinade and I simply can't get enough!!! Hope I've given you reason to come back and try Pearly's unique food and atmosphere again. Thanks for your fine review. Tommie

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them!  Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available!  We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Amorino has the Gelato

  Oh gelato, you make me smile, especially in the form of a beautiful rose. Yes, you read that correctly, gelato in the shape of a rose. You can find this so called rose shaped gelato at Amarino in Chicago. After hearing about this place, I HAD to add it to our itinerary while we were back in the Windy City. Amarino is downtown, and we didn’t have that much trouble finding parking. We went later in the afternoon; I would say around 5 p.m. and found Amarino to be especially empty. When you enter the double sliding doors (cool touch) you will be right in front of their gelato selections. They have a wide selection. We came for the rose, but you are able to get a simple bowl instead as well.  When finally deciding what flavors we wanted we ended up with Pistachio, cookie butter, and chocolate. The flavors went very well together. We watched in awe as the server sculpted a beautiful rose master piece in front of us. It turned out so pretty!

Fatso's.. hopefully Not-so Last Stand

Fatso’s Last Stand is a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of Chicago. When it comes to hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be. For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and lastly yellow mustard. Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s. Not only does Fatso’s offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both. When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms of the meat and style
