Simply Southern Bistro in South Carolina

"We decided to go here since it's local and we had not eaten here yet. I had a simple burger with fries and my wife had the hamburger steak with fried mac n cheese. So my burger was good. Not the best I've had but it was juicy and well seasoned with good flavor. Fries were typical fries. The wife was not impressed with hers. The hamburger steak looked more like a hamburger patty that they smashed a little. It was small for a hamburger steak. The mashed potatos had no flavor. No salt, butter, pepper, nadda. I tried them to verify. The fried nac n cheese was ok. The outside crunchy part was good but the inside reminded me of KFC'a mac n cheese. Not that that is a bad thing, just nothing special. Our bill was $36 before tip and honestly we have had much better food in that price range. Would we go back? Yes, it was good enough for us to go back and try something different."

"The menu is upscale Southern fare. The servers are very attentive and serving portions are large and well presented. The restaurant looks like a start-up with standard table & chairs in a small strip mall."

"Flavorful and fresh! An impromptu search on Google led us here for a quick bite on our road trip- a small but delightful detour. Part of a tiny strip mall, the simple exterior leads to a casual and cozy interior. We split the 'Fried Squash and Zucchini Sticks' and a 'Simple burger' with house-made Fries. Could have made a meal of the Sticks; they were amazing! The Burger and Fries were equally excellent! My sister and I were just looking for a small break from driving and found our new favorite restaurant!"

"Dude. We did not expect to find a place like this is Sumter. 12 of us and we were all thrilled with our food, service, and price. Hannah was great and the food was amazing! We were very hungry so I forgot to get pics before eating."

"We had a great experience here! The pimento cheese was tasty...we could have used more pita to scoop it up. We both got a special the ravioli with shrimp and sausage was very rich. The ribeye was perfectly cooked and the French fries were on point. The service was spot on and we will definitely be back to try more meals! Cheers"

"Excellent! The service is A+. All the staff were kind and helpful. It was very clean. Now for the food, what can I say, I had a bacon, turkey, cranberry mayo sandwich on the most delicious toasted bread, My sister had the duck sandwich and she can't stop raving about it. I also had the cucumber tomato vinerarette salad and she has a baked sweet potato done to perfection. For desert she had a piece of pecan cake and I had praline. Also excellent. For drinks we had fresh made unsweet iced tea. I will go back next time I'm in town!"

"I had the Duck breast, collard greens and fried okra. Quite honestly, some of the best food I have ever eaten...in the top 10 meals from across the entire country, for this type of cuisine. The menu was simple, the service quick and the food fantastic! Even the prices were good and within reason. I will be back!"

"Had the She Crab soup and Fried Green Tomaroes with a sweet tea. The soup was scrumptious and the come back sauce served with the tomatoes was AMAZING. Waitress was super sweet and attentive and offered extra sauce and kept my drink full. Sweet tea was also delicious, the restaraunt was clean and the prices were so reasonable. My only regret was that I was too full for the homemade desserts. Stop in and they will make you feel at home! This spot is a hidden gem, don’t miss it if you’re in Sumter!"
