Jimmy Pearls

This is the best food in Charlotte, and I pray they find a consistent spot again. I would never have stepped foot in free range if they hadn't been there (not super into beer). The seafood is crispy, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and never greasy. Their fish sandwich is the best you will ever have. I am partial to the crab cake sandwich, and get a side of shrimp. You can't go wrong, these chefs are the best in the city.

I had the awesome pleasure of catching Jimmy Pearls during one of their pop-ups at Free Range Brewing and MY GOSH!!!! My boyfriend and I ordered their dozen chargrilled oysters and fish hot link......bruh. SO GOOD!!!! I cannot wait for them to get their own brick and mortar so we can be regualrs.We absolutely loved this food! It was unique, super flavorful and cooked to perfection. Not a single complaint to be had. These guys know what they're doing and it shows, just look at these oysters!!! Ugh, just writing this I want some more right now.I cannot recommend Jimmy Pearls enough, definitely check them out for their next pop up!!!

Came to their last night of the food truck at free range, our first stop of the night and it did not disappoint. I'm so happy we came the owner is always cool to chat it up with and makes the entire experience worth while! Love supporting black owned businesses with superb service!

Fantastic crab cake sandwich! I loved the seasoning and the texture of the crabcake.Tried the side of bubba chucks, sweet cornbread flavor and honey butter were phenomenal!! I could make a meal of them. Good service too and they make each order on site so give them time for homemade food with excellent quality!! I see why they are nominated for the Beard award. In 7th street market food hall and parking is validated if you ask.

Phenomenal fish sandwich! I had the Uncle Gene's fish sandwich for lunch and I could not stop saying how good it was. We went for a last minute lunch, arriving as soon as they opened and getting first in line (yes there was a line). After about 10 mins my sandwich was ready. Piping hot and delis. The buns were lightly toasted, fish fried to perfection and seasoned in such a balanced way. The slaw was tangy but just what rhetorical sandwich needed. I would say in the future, in order to take my time and not have a soggy second half I would get the slaw on the side. Otherwise, whatever else was on the sandwich only enhanced it. My friend had the fried shrimp combo and kudos for the plump and delicious shrimp. Nothing was skimped on in either dishes and I will be back!

I must admit I was brought here by an instagram post going around and will say that just like the post, the food is as good as it appears people! Ok so let's start here, it's inside of a food hall located uptown: don't let parking sway you as the parking garage right by it is validated for up to 90 mins! So make sure to take your ticket with you inside to get it taken care of. So I went inside and it was the first restaurant on the right. Not only did the sign bring me this way but the amazing smell! I ordered a little bit of everything. The Uncle Genes Fish Sandwich, the mama dukes fish plate and the bunba chucks!! This was for 2 and I must say it was prepared quick and the smell was distracting as I tried to take it home and not devour it right in the car. Lol. Everything I ate from the fish, the pea slaw, the potato thingies, the bunba chucks, it was one satisfying taste after another. You will not leave disappointed at all.The only thing is the sand which didn't come with any true toppings which we had to doctor up at home but it was still pretty satisfying. Would love to try it as it comes in the pictures.

Saw a review on Instagram, and came in here a little before closing. They're located in a food hall. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and patient as I asked questions about the menu. My order was served in little time and made fresh. Taste wise, excellent. The serving of fish was large for a fish sandwich. So I was grateful for that. The slaw was good enough to be a side on its own. Overall, a good experience. Because it's uptown, they're out of the way for me, but this is a treat for those who work uptown. I'll be back one day.

Insta brought me through and Darius sealed the deal. The food was Goodt! I didn't know that it was in 7th street market but It was a low-traffic day so I didn't mind. We wanted fish. Good NC fish and that's what we got. Huge chunks of Golden deep-fried (YES, mind ya own arteries) fish and piled high. The seasoning, moisture, and filet size was awesome. It came with a Cajun tarter and hot sauce. A side of greens (no meat) which were delectable and we got fries which were fried in pork fat (beware) which were delicious too. The Bubba chunks (hush puppy) with cinnamon butter was delightful. Unique spin with whole kernel corn. I wish they had a tad bit more seasoning like garlic and onion powder though. All in all it was delicious.

For folks who like chicken gizzards Go HERE! LOL Hubby had the fish sammy with potato wedges and scarfed it down! I also had the Pea Fritters - if you like falafel you'll like this and it was yummy! We spoke with owner who was very nice and gave us a lil history of being from Virginia and fusing many cultures together but with their twist! Oh yeah the stewed greens were delish too! Saturdays are busy at 7th street market so it's nice that this place offers reserved seating for their customers since the place was packed! Hubby also had the Sorrell Juice (house made fresh) and enjoyed that also.

I saw this place advertised online and was really excited to try. Hmmm... looks, feels, smells and tastes like whiting. Flakes were very thin and watery as whiting tends to be. Catfish is a very fatty fish with thick, hearty flakes. I get it, the catfish may not have been delivered today, but if it's not available, please say it's not available. This was a huge disappointment
