I ordered a pulled pork bbq sandwich with macaroni and collard greens to go. Oh, and some of the Xclusive's punch. The wait was about ten minutes, I think, and the servings were a good size. A lot of people seemed to have ordered turkey wings and the strawberry shortcake, so I might try that next time. As for what I ordered, the collard greens were 10/10. The macaroni was a little sweet, which was interesting, and I think I should've asked for extra sauce with my sandwich. But that's on me. I like a saucy sandwich. All told, it was a good meal, and I will return!

I wasn't sure if what I ordered would fill me up but I had trouble finishing my my pork sandwich with baked beans and potato salad. My coworkers had the stuffed Turkey legs and they were GINORMOUS! Everyone was really happy with their orders. The workers were very friendly and helpful and suggested sides to us. The place itself was ok. You can tell it was a different restaurant first and kinda bare inside with little decor but that's not really a big deal when the food is as good as it was. We will definitely be back to try the Turkey tacos!

Not the best the town has to offer, but I had zero complaints about the BBQ or the quality of the sides itself. The real seller is the quantity of food for the price. I have a large appetite and I considered the SMALL pork dinner a lot of food. I couldn't even imagine the large! And for only $9 in 2025, I can't imagine a lot of take-out options where you can get as much good food. Personally, I'd go again whenever I'm on another cheat day (more likely the $5.50 pork sandwich), but I really like this place for Sumter.

A True Southern Gem in Sumter…read more Simply Southern Bistro absolutely deserves all five stars. Every time I walk through the door, I'm greeted with warm hospitality and the kind of service that makes you feel like family. The food is consistently outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and made with real Southern heart. Whether it's their perfectly seasoned entrées, the homemade sides, or those desserts you can't say no to, everything tastes like it came straight from someone's kitchen who knows what they're doing. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do, and it shows in both the service and the quality of the food. Sumter has plenty of places to eat, but Simply Southern Bistro stands out as one of the best. If you want a meal that hits the spot every single time, this is the place. Highly recommend.

It's pulled smoked turkey with sweet vinegar zauce and coleslaw and it was so good. It was served with fried chipz too (all menu items are).

Sweet tea is sweeeeet I forgot to mention...they are located under the Kanat sign, beside the Dollar Tree, in the WalMart shopping Center on US 70. (Don't ask why, it is worth looking them up!) These new restaurants coming into this shopping center are bringing some great variety, and flavor to our community, and I hope that you are trying them out. Most are family owned, and along with those that have been there for a while, this could be a great area for family meals on this side of Clayton soon. That would certainly be a welcome occurrence, I believe.

First time we ordered the fried pickles and got a normal sized basket worth the $5 I paid, second time I got little over ¢50 worth for the $5. The brisket sandwich is very good and I can not recommend it more and that is the reason I am giving it three stars. In my opinion they are price gauging and charging way over a 3x and approaching 5 or 6x. Try it and you may or may not agree depending on how much disposable income you have. Update Last two visits have been so much better. Highly recommend the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and fries! The breading is spicy and so deep friend.

My party of 3 arrived around 5pm and decided to sit at the bar. The ambiance was casual and comfortable, very clean. Our bartender was amicable and attentive. We started off with drinks my husband and I decided on margaritas, they only offer classic no flavors but there were a few tequilas to choose from. Our cousin drinks red wine and they only offered a Cabernet so she went with that. The drinks were ok. I would not come here solely to drink since I'm into handcrafted drinks. Like most pubs they focus on beer, their selection in beers was fantastic. My husband ordered a burger and fries. The burger was huge and he said it was delicious and the fries were ok. Our cousin and I both ordered the Buffalo Shrimp Tacos. For my side I had the beer battered onion rings which came with a jalapeño ranch sauce, they were crispy and really tasty. My cousin had the coleslaw which she mentioned was average. The tacos were exactly as described but wasn't as flavorful as I was expecting, they were not bad but I wouldn't order them again. We had a great experience, customer service was stellar and if ever in town again I would come back.
