Perry’s Food for the Soul, the Bar-B-Q place in the Pelton Center, is closed. Perry’s had replaced another BBQ place, Bar-B-Que & Seafood Unlimited, and has in turn been replaced by yet another BBQ place, Pelton Smoke BBQ. The menu has remained virtually unchaged, though it now also features Korean style BBQ chicken, beef and ribs ($7-8), Oysters ($10, small, $13 large) as well as chili ($3-4.50) and burgers ($5-7).
A year ago I had heard that Perry’s wasn’t doing well and might have to close, but then I heard nothing else. We went there a few weeks ago and they seemed to be doing well, they just had had a large catering order so the only things left were links, an order of ribs and an order of chicken. We tried it with the mild and medium sauces and liked them better than the first time we tried them. Though still, we felt they weren’t as good as E&J’s.
But I guess the business wasn’t doing well enough, or Stephanie Perry, the owner, just got tired of struggling, for it’s been sold. It’s difficult to believe that the same kind of business can do better under new ownership. They are charging similar prices, and I can’t imagine they’d have the community support than Perry’s might have. But who knows? Perhaps their sauce is a killer. I’ll have to try it sometimes and see.
