Food was ok my cheese steak was great but the fries was a little greasy my wife had the flatbread it was a little dry but still edible

When one is driving through the backroads of South Carolina on a road trip, one does not SIMPLY stop whenever they want to for lunch. You're not going to have a huge selection of restaurants, and often what you find will just be fast food. When I can, I like to try out a little of the local flavor, even if it is just a simple sandwich or meat and two place like this one. Pulling into Bennettsville, it had that small hometown feel, and I knew there had to be a good local place to have lunch. It being a Monday provided some obstacle, but we eventually found Southern Delights open and ready for business. When we arrived, it was nice to see a good local crowd enjoying them for lunch. Our server was buzzing around from table to table with haste, and was very nice, probably too over apologetic for any wait. She did a great job. There is a lot to enjoy here, plenty of country style cooking and an extensive sandwich menu. The prices are very reasonable. It's the kind of place that serves their community, not trying to be fancy, just good food and service! I decided to go with a club sandwich and onion rings, while my wife went for the reuben and fries. My club sandwich was good, and the onion rings were great. Perfectly crispy. The club had an ample amount of meat, though I'd have liked to have seen a different size bread. With the sandwich quartered, the basic sandwich slice white bread made the pieces a little unruly. Or maybe just cut it in half (though i know a club is traditionally quartered). My wife really enjoyed here reuben, cole slaw instead of kraut, and her fries were cooked perfectly. Generous portion on both the fries and onion rings which you love to see. Our tea was also spot on, just enough sweet to make a perfectly balanced half and half. Overall, is this place going to blow you away? No. But I am definitely giving it a 5 for knowing exactly what it is, and executing in a way you'll be happy with if you visit. If I ever pass through again and need a bite, I know where to go! read more

I didn't even know this place existed. Ok so check it out. Do not be discouraged by the aesthetic or lack there of. I mean it did feel like I stepped into the 90s but that also goes for the service. And we all know good service is hard to find. Smiling face and a greeting when you walk in. Nice. Seating was cool, place was clean. The waitress was so sweet. Lots of southern charm. Ok so food was 3.5/5. I would give a 4 but my fried pickles were almost too salty to eat. My burger was slamming! The chips they came with were cooked perfectly and the portion was great for the price. I will definitely be back! Glad to know of this place! read more

We ordered several to go meals for family members. For those looking for the restaurant your landmarks are Auto Zone & BP gas station - it is nestled in a small center between the two. The cheeseburgers, grape salad & chop salad were favorites - the cheeseburger with potato wedges was the overall winner. The chop salad was noted as fresh & crisp. Great prices & friendly staff. There was a great crowd waiting for either dine in & take away as we waited on our meals. We were recommended the place by a local family member who also owns a restaurant so you know it's good. They have a rotating daily menu so check their Facebook for the special of the day. read more

What a treat! Very unpretentious. You can tell the emphasis is on the food. Reminds me of true home-made food like what your mom would make. Simple, satisfying, made with love. But this is better, because my mom would never make deep fried oreos! I had the Reuben sandwich and French fries and hubby had the rib eye steak sandwich with baked potato. You definitely need to try this place! read more

Southern Delights - New American Near Me - Bennettsville, South Carolina

I went to Southern Delights for lunch on Friday 9/15. We were a group of eleven women heading to Myrtle Beach. It's a small restaurant; however they handled our orders well. Most things are super fresh as they are cooked to order. Service was fast and terrific. Callie(sp?),our waitress, even stopped to share grace with us. I had the hamburger steak-it was so good. Some of my party had the Reuben sandwich, sweet potato tots, spinach salad, and there were no complaints. I admit to low expectations but they exceeded good expectations. Don't miss out on the huge chocolate cookies; they are so good. read more

We tried several times to find this place. The directions from the web site brought us to some sketchy neighborhood and yelp brought us to a street where there was a gas station and a rent a center but no restaurant! Whoever owns this restaurant should check their electronic presence. read more
