37 Best American Restaurants near Pearl River

“I come here about 2-3 times a month in the evenings and I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food and the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. You hear so many stories about WH, but I will say my experience with the I-59-&-Pearl River Waffle House has been great! The manager, Greta, displayed good customer service qualities as did her crew. Thank You All!“

“We enjoyed the best shrimp poboys and onion rings! The bread they use for the poboys is wonderful! The shrimp were a perfect size, perfectly battered up and perfectly fried. The size of the sandwich was just right as well, and overstuffed the way we like it. The lettuce, tomato, and pickles were fresh and added the perfect touch. As for the thick cut homemade onion rings, those were honestly the best onion rings we have ever had from anywhere. I could make a meal out of their onion rings and I might just do that one day! I must add that we feel the prices are very affordable. Other places in town are charging more for food that isn’t nearly as good.“

“We had the best service yesterday from Austin. He made our visit enjoyable. Also, we all ate something different at our table and enjoyed it all. The honey butter fried chicken special was a hit. My personal favorite is the meatloaf. We also raved over the steak and shrimp. Delicious biscuits & Mac too. We all took five dollar plates home and enjoyed the French toast bake the most. Don’t sleep on it!“

“First time eating here (10/25/2025) and it was absolutely amazing. My stepdaughter and I had Gator bites for the first time... it really does taste like chicken lol. Our server, Stephanie, was just the absolute best. She was kind, quick, and very informative about things to do around the area or where to visit the next time we come. The manager on duty was also amazing. He gave my stepdaughter one of their shirts and it really just made her day so much better 😁. The people, the atmosphere, the food... all of it was wonderful. Highly recommend eating here!“

“Very good food and friendly staff. This one is great and made changes since past that i would recommend to stop here and enjoy.“

“This experience was 10/10. No complaints. Delena, our server was absolutely amazing! She was kind and attentive. Never had to ask for refills. She made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One of the best servers I’ve ever had truly a doll—thank you, Delena!“

The prices are very reasonable and they have an amazing selection the wait staff is very attentive and ensure you are well taken care of when you are dining in the restaurant.
Overall an amazing experience!“

“Best truck stop breakfast….ever“

“I loved the food!! It was indubitably the best meal I have had in a little while. I had my server as Ally!!! Ally was a slay queen!!! She had over five tables, yet she still maintained a positive attitude and a smile on her face every time we saw her. When servers are stressed, they typically don't smile, but she smiled throughout her night, making ours a good one. Specifically for my brother, it was his birthday, and he flew home soon. So it was a relief to know his last Louisiana meal was yummy with a good server. Also, I do not know the name of the other girl, but she had covered the drinks order down, and she was also super sweet. I love the atmosphere where people help out others; it provides a very joyful aura to be around! To conclude, Ally and the other girl were extremely sweet and kind. The staff exuded warmth and kindness, even amidst their stressful moments, making the experience all the more memorable. And the food? Phenomenal—truly a culinary delight you won’t want to miss! Moments, making the experience all the more memorable.“

“Went with my parents for lunch today. We each had a fresh, crisp salad. My parents had catfish. It was fried to perfection and nicely seasoned but not too salty or spicy. I had the corn and shrimp bisque. It was thick, creamy, and delicious. This establishment serves delicious food for ridiculously affordable prices.“

“Nice place, but the Nathan’s foot long hot dog was so tough that I had to chew it like old jerky. Definitely just go for the ice cream and vibes, the food is… dangerous. The chili made my stomach hurt and I got food poisoning from the chicken sandwich. But other than that a good experience.👁️👄👁️“

“Our waiter, Dalton, was exceptional today. He was polite, attentive and fast. We overheard another table being rude and complaining about literally everything but he stayed professional and kept working hard (as did the rest of the staff). Food was delicious. Looking forward to our next visit. We will request his section.“

“This is my favorite location! The food is always cooked perfect, thanks to the rockstar cook. I always go to my sausage hashbrown bowl and add their Waffle House Sauce (chipotle flavored mayo). My server, Alise?? (younger Burnette girl with glasses) is the only one that gives me an actual coffee lid with my large coffee to go. She is amazing at her job and is professionally friendly.“

“Very generous servings. Gizzards were excellent. Chicken tenders were huge. Cashier very friendly and helpful. Very courteous staff. Atmosphere was peaceful. Rolls are delicious. We will be able to make another meal with our leftovers. Don't pass this place up!“

Everything came out fresh and tasted soooooooo good ! I would drive the 5 hours back here from Texas just for this experience with them again !“

“These beignets are absolutely delicious! As was the coffee! The beignets were made right after I ordered them. So they were nice and hot. They even gave me a little donut hole for lagniappe! Just really delicious. Lots of people getting to go. But, I ate in. The restaurant is a little warm. Don’t know if that’s because of the cooking. But, that won’t stop me from going back. Glad I found this little gem!“
