All was really yummy the service was spectacular. Loved the ambience from f light music. Only thing is is their special hours 11-2 Sunday -Thursday which makes it a definite special treat

Their amazing french dip, cucumber salad with mine, and fruit cup with my (picky) boyfriends.

The best little restaurant I think I've ever walked in. Perry GA isn't a lot to write home about, however my boyfriend and I are long distance and this town is perfectly placed in the middle. Last time we met, we had to make due and eat waffle house and little ceasers because we didn't have any time to look around. I am SO happy we took our time this past trip because we found the cutest little nook of restaurants and shops. When we came across the Perfect Pear online, I immediately knew that's where I wanted to eat. We sat outside because it was BEAUTIFUL! The atmosphere was 100% there. Could even hear the chapels bells going off! The food was outstanding along with the service. dishes were clean, and everything came hot and full of flavor! The owner came out and even greeted us. The key lime pie was also a fan favorite with us, and it's the owners recipe. Which makes it even better! This will be a new go to spot for whenever we have to meet here again.

What a great place to eat! If you are driving through Perry, GA you must stop and eat here. This restaurant is allergy friendly as I have a shellfish and they were very helpful. No matter what you order, you can not go wrong. Make sure you save room for dessert!

The Megnificent Dip

After reading all the reviews, this was one place I really wanted to go during my summer internship in Perry. This is a great little place with an impressive Sunday brunch atmosphere. I was expecting the menu to have more than salads, burgers, and sandwiches. I read about shrimp and grits, and I heard that it was a catering place so I was expecting more entrees. The Megnificent Crab Dip was very rich. It came out to be a melted cheese dip consistency instead of a chunky seafood spread. I can't tell if I tasted the crab since it was so smooth and rich. I split the dip and a Blue Beef sandwich. Delicious! The sandwich came with chips, but I wish there were fries to soak up the au jus. I think I came with the wrong impression. I was showing a friend who was on a road trip around Perry, and we weren't looking to spend a lot of money at one place. The menu was very pricey considering the portions. I still enjoyed the meal, but my friend was disappointed with the portion size.

Stopped by New Orleans on Carroll Street and had a great meal. The fried chicken over creamy grits…read morewith gravy isn't on the menu, but it was recommended by a former worker and it did not disappoint. Crispy, flavorful chicken with smooth, buttery grits made for a perfect combo. The egg rolls were also solid with the dipping sauces. Overall, good food and a nice vibe. I'd definitely come back.

We ate here last evening and I want to start with the good first: the restaurant itself is…read morestunning! Very sleek but warm at the same time. The outside is beautiful all lit up at night. It is very upscale! Our server was nice but not intrusive. We received refills on time and requests were honored very promptly. My daughter ordered a mixed drink and it was good, she also ordered the Chicken Avery and she really enjoyed it along with the garlic green beans. The not so good (in my opinion): I ordered shrimp and my husband ordered the ribeye with accompanying mac n cheese and baked potato. The Mac N Cheese was so soupy you needed a spoon to eat it. Soupy in a watery way not a cheesy way. Baked potatoes were just alright. The skin was great with salt & oil. The inside was either overcooked or not fresh. Several of us ordered the potato and we all felt the same. The $50 ribeye was bland and chewy. My shrimp were comparable to Captain D's . I hate to say that but when I tasted of them that's all I could think of. I think it had more to do with the breading than the actual taste of the shrimp themselves. It was my daughter's birthday and she ordered the crème brûlée. She enjoyed it. The top was nice and crunchy but not warm. The entire thing was cold which was odd. All of the food we received wasn't hot it was warm at best. This is probably a one and done for me just bc the price doesn't reflect the quality of the food. We don't mind paying for something really great but when you feel let down after eating it's tough to go back.

SO GOOD! The description "old cafeteria style", while technically true, you never had food this…read moregood in any cafeteria! Driving North from Florida, we wanted dinner and preferred not fast food, but good food served efficiently. Well we hit that out of the park by ending up at The Oil Lamp. My friend had the chicken & mashed potatoes (these are the real deal!!). I had the beef tips on gravy over mashed potatoes. We shared sides of braised cabbage that had a fair amount of garlic - I will be thinking about it, yes thinking about cabbage - first time for everything. We also shared creamed corn and this is NOT from a can. The corn was so sweet and there was a crunch to it, which only fresh corn can give. Everything looked delicious. I eyed those desserts, but I'd finished my plate and just no more room. I live like 4 hours away, but I'm hoping to time my return trip to return to this gem. This isn't fancy, it's good food that has been cooked by chefs that know how to cook old school. Last note - generous portions.

Prior to going, I'm not sure why I thought of this place as a "greasy spoon"...it was more of a…read morecafeteria. Much more updated and cleaner than anticipated. Upon entry, you go to the right to get in line and order. There is a sign with daily specials (you can also check out their Facebook page!). Up first are the trays and silverware and then the salad bar. After that are some entrees and sides they dish out for you. We ordered the rib-eye meal which comes with a side and bread but you can add whatever you want! I think it was $29, which at first seemed a little expensive, but my brother and friends assured me was definitely worth it! We also grabbed a drink and some dessert. All of the employees were very kind and welcoming. We went right at 5 on a Thursday evening so there was plenty of seating. The tables were big and there was room for all 10 of us (that's why we went early!) The food...was amazing! The steak was PERFECT. I asked for it medium and it was medium. So tender and flavorful! My brother wasn't lying when he said it was worth it. I also had the loaded mashed potatoes - excellent, biscuit-yummy, and the chocolate peanut butter pie- OH MY! I will definitely be returning to this establishment. We really enjoyed it.

The foundation is still there with the rooms and decor but with lots of tables set up, similar to hosting a gathering at home. Not only that, everyone here was really friendly! We really felt welcomed, and though the second time, service wasn't as outstanding, it was still good. I think they really nailed down the vibe of southern hospitality. For drinks, they have seasonal cocktails, which I think is fun, but I'm not around at a time where I would be able to chill and drink. I end up with a go-to sweet tea. Strong and sweet, that it kept me up, but not the strongest nor sweetest I've had. There's also complimentary bread that's mini muffin shaped and dense like a biscuit. It's buttery and salty, but I like it! Before coming, I saw so many things about the sampler, so I definitely wanted to get it and try out. Love the fried green tomatoes with the honey mustard. It didn't feel oily, and it held up pretty well when cut and dipped into sauce. The pimento cheese here is probably the best I've ever had, but I will admit that I have not had many (I tend to not like it). In fact, both these items stay on my mind enough that I do think about coming here more often than I thought I would. And this is just for the apps. The rest of the entrees are pretty standard. Some better than others, but that's due to preference. I haven't gone through the whole menu, but I do prefer their chicken to some of the other menu items. For their sides, I haven't seen or heard of some of them. I asked about them, and they were described p well, enough for me to not want to try congealed salad. I'm not a big fan of jello type things, but I did try the pear salad. Not for me. Absolutely not for me. I did really enjoy the collard green soup and sweet potato souffle though! They were great, esp the souffle. It was my first time having nuts in them, and I loved it so much. Everything else was alright, like I'm sure you've had or can make better mac. Overall, I'm glad to know this place because it's a good rec for the area if you're in the mood for Southern food. It's not a bad pick for vegetarians either, though they would only have appetizers and sides to pick from, but I liked them more than the entrees. There's a parking lot, and it's in a good location to see the rest of downtown Perry too.

During my visit, I observed a manager speak to an employee in a manner that was openly demeaning,…read morebelittling, and entirely inappropriate done in full view of customers. The tone and content of the interaction were unprofessional and unnecessary, and it created an uncomfortable environment not only for the employee, but for everyone present. Regardless of internal performance issues or operational pressures, there is no justification for humiliating an employee publicly. If coaching or correction is required, it should be handled privately and with basic professional respect. What I witnessed reflected poorly on your leadership standards and on your brand as a whole. As a customer, I found the situation disturbing enough that it materially affected my perception of your organization. No company that values its people or its reputation should tolerate this kind of behavior from anyone in a management role. and if that wasn't bad enough, I witnessed the same manager, just moments later speak to a customer walking in to place it to go order in such a condescending tone that if I was that person I would've left.? and that's actually what I did as I sat at the bar. I only had time to order a drink before I witnessed this situation so I asked to pay for my drink and I left there is no chance I would ever give this establishment my business.
