We were not disappointed - every bite of every thing was absolutely delicious. We are from Charleston, home to many southern/soul food restaurants but Jeffrey Lampkin's beat the pants of of every soul food kitchen Charleston has to offer. It's about a 2-hour drive from Charleston to Sumter but I would make that trip just to enjoy their food again. It's that good!

Okay Mrs. Margaret Did It Again!!!…read more Whew!! Mrs. Margaret at Soul Food & More has done it again -- and this time, I think she outdid herself! The food was absolutely phenomenal and seasoned to perfection, fresh, and full of that down-home flavor you can only get from someone who puts love into every bite. From the smothered pork chops to the mac and cheese and those melt-in-your turkey wings with light rice , double field peas ... ( and breakfast that morning, my doctor will be upset with me at my next physical ) it was like a warm hug from the inside out. You can tell this isn't just cooking -- it's soul, it's tradition, it's FAMILY. If you haven't been to Soul Food & More, you're seriously missing out. Thank you, Mrs. Margaret, for continuing to bless the community with your gift. We'll be back -- again and again! Oh yeah Mrs. Margaret , I'll tell Coach that got the Caramel cake and a slice of sweet potato pie, not to eat it site

This trip was no different. We had a large group of 16 and it started there. Was told a 2hr wait. If we split in to groups of 8 we'd be seated in 45. Took this option. Actually got seated in about 25 minutes seperately. (A table of 8 that was right next to us was vacant and NEVER got used for the entire 90 minutes or so that we stayed at the restaurant so why not accommodate our group? - strike one) Our waitress I'm told was very chippy with an attitude toward some party members. (I didnt get any attitude toward me) but heard a few people stating how she was answering people's requests and how unpleasant she was. - Strike two. The food. I ordered the meatloaf nachos (which were good). I also ordered the fried pork chops w/ side salad. Loading up on fake bacon bits (like 1000 pieces) doesnt make the salad better. This is a hint to their kitchen. The pork chops were dry and the "red skinned" mash potatoes" (which I do not remember the menu stating that they were red skinned potatoes which would mean SKIN would be present in the mash. Otherwise I would not have ordered this. ALSO, their baked beans.......this was the worst part of the meal. I am expecting some version of beans with a bbq base or similar...instead I got some sort of bean SOUP which was totally inedible in my opinion. Whole meal was trash. Strike three. My 83 year old father said at the end of the meal "worst meal I've ever had". Which I had him repeat to the table just in case anyone thought it was just me. $700 with tip for the quality is a bit much. I will never ever return no matter what my siblings say.

The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful. The drink choices are limited to tea and lemonade, but the tea is superb!! The only down side is that the facility is older and at times in the summer with the heat from the kitchen and the crowds of people, it can be pretty uncomfortable. But it is still a favorite. They have a nice salad bar, delicious dessert options, and plenty of meat and side choices. I love the meatloaf- definitely homemade. The baked chicken is out of this world.

After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!
