Reviews Pearl Island Catering

Yummy food and sizable takeout portions! We got the tofu curry and jerk chicken platters. Platters came with kale salad, seasoned rice, fried plantains. Tofu curry was really flavorful with a thick coconut curry gravy. Jerk chicken was an unusual flavor that tasted to me somewhat heavy on cardamom.

I eat here more than any other place. I have probably eaten here more than I've cooked for myself since I moved here two and a half years ago. The 3 star review is because of the hours. I don't eat breakfast and I don't eat lunch. This is a dinner spot for me and I don't really get why they would change their hours to close at 3. 8 already seemed too early for me but I could understand it. Every time I want to eat here now they're closed... :/ Edit based on owners response: Thanks for reading. I'll change the review. As a fellow small business owner I know how hard it is to find people who actually put in the effort right now. This is also me speaking from my first job being a boh fast food job at minimum wage. I worked extremely hard even though I only got $7.25 because I believe one should put in their all. Wishing you the best of luck in finding staff!!!

I have only eaten here once but I cannot wait to go back. I had the vegan options in the trio package and it was UTTERLY DELICIOUS! I’m not even a vegan but I crave their food now. I cannot say enough. Truly the best tasting food (vegan or not) that I’ve had in Charlottesville, and I eat out regularly.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in all of Charlottesville. They have jerk chicken, jerk pork and jerk tofu. All of which comes in a wonderfully delicious platter with kale salad, rice, and pikliz (which is a perfectly spicy Caribbean coleslaw). This is a MUST STOP for anyone in the area or passing through.
