Pearlz is a classic Charleston spot, great rotating oyster menu as well as catch of the day and fun specials, very local vibes at the bar and more traditional seating. Service staff is super friendly yet not overbearing. I’ve been a couple of times now and it has never disappointed. Try the fish blackened it’s divine!

Amazing spot for fresh oysters in the area! We stopped by and the staff was super friendly including the hostess from NY! hello!! The spicey tequila cucumber is my new favorite drink and all of the staff was super friendly! Event the guy shocking, the oysters was awesome! Definitely need to check this place out as the oyster selection was great and the entrées were super fresh and delicious! The entree with the 4 different fish was delicious! All were cooked perfectly! Forgot the name but it was a special We will be back for sure! 2nd review: This is our second time here, and I can confidently say this is one of the best oyster bars in town! We will absolutely be back again the next time we're in the area. A must-do is the Happy Hour, which runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 PM.

I’m coming here for the delicious fresh oysters and seafood dishes with great wine choices. Loved the seafood pasta, and it was my first time trying the shrimp & grits - and I loved it! Everything was spot on

The place was okay overall. The girl who served us could have been a bit nicer and less in a hurry. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive cutlery for the sandwich and fries, and there were no napkins either. We also had tacos. The food was what we expectednothing special, but the price-quality ratio was okay. If you’re looking for something quick to take away, it could be a good option.

★★★★☆ 4.0 T&C Smith · Apr 2025

Nice ambiance, nice staff. Got the FISH & CHIPS ($19.95) and the NEW ENGLAND LOBSTER ROLL ($29.95). The FISH & CHIPS had good fresh tasting cod. The NEW ENGLAND LOBSTER ROLL had a few good chunks of lobster, but was in a disappointingly small bun (as seen in picture). Also, had some inedible green seaweed on plate as a garnish (another space filler, but inedible) Plate wasn’t worth $30 in my opinion and would not order again. The chips (French fries) were plain pretty plain, no special taste or texture. Not bad, but just felt like necessary filler for the plate. I wanted to love this place, but unfortunately because of the portion size for the price wouldn’t recommend it.
