The wings were good! And I would get those again by themselves. The Mac n cheese tastes like it has American cheese it. The greens had a nice Smokey flavor, but overall weren't great.

I had some business to attend to in South Myrtle Beach and as I finished up I started to get hungry…read morefor lunch. Luckily I saw a packed place on Mr. Joe White Avenue called Simply Southern Smokehouse. Place looked legit and had a full parking lot so I pulled in. There is only one way in and once you get in, the cashier is on the right with the $15 all you can eat buffet right next to it. The $15 also included all you can drink soft drinks, water and sweet tea. I paid my money and grabbed a plate and ran right up to the buffet. They start out light with vegetables and sides, working up to the main courses of fried chicken, fried fish, pulled pork, smoked chicken and some hot wings. After that, they had some mac & cheese, and then the desserts which was blueberry cobbler, peach cobbler, homemade banana pudding...and a couple of other things. I started off with some broad beans, stewed okra and tomatoes, smoked chicken and hot wings. I brought my plate and my silverware to an empty table, which was getting hard to find as the place was so packed and then went up to fetch me a glass of water to wash it down with. They serve Pepsi products and of course sweet tea but I was going to save my calories for dessert. The place was clean, well lit and the seating was well designed with booths along the wall and tables in the center... and plenty of room between the tables. Once seated I dug right in. The broad beans were excellent. Done right and full of flavor. The stewed tomatoes and okra, although cook correctly was a bit bland for my liking. The smoked chicken was excellent and I used a bit of the golden SC BBQ sauce on it...great...and homemade. The hot wings were the real deal meaty and moist with a nice kick. I finished the plate in about five minutes. Time for round two. On my second trip up, I put some collard greens, lima beans, a piece of fried chicken and a piece of fried fish on the fresh plate. As I sat down to eat, I put a bit of hot vinegar sauce on the collard greens and dug in. The collards were excellent and the homemade vinegar hot sauce gave it a bit of a kick and bite. The Lima beans were soft and loaded with flavor. I then moved on to the fried chicken, which was cooked correctly with the skin crispy and well battered and the meat moist on the inside. That said, it was bland. Given how well the beans were seasoned I was surprised. Same thing with the fish, but they had a real good house sauce for it which gave it a nice flavor and saved it, but overall both the fried chicken and the fried fish were bland. I then went up for a plate number three and realized I was not gonna be able to eat anymore mains, which was a shame since the pulled pork looked great... It will have to wait for the next time I come. I did, however leave a bit of room for dessert and I'm glad I did . The banana pudding was delicious with a full banana taste and 'Nilla wafers on top and bottom adding a bit of crunch. I only had enough room for one of the cobbler so I chose peach and it did not disappoint. Nice and warm with a sweet peach flavor and tasty crumbles. I wanted more but controlled myself. As I got up to leave, I placed five dollars on the table for the cleanup guy who was hustling and keeping the place neat and tidy. I then looked around and noticed this was a real local spot full of people from Myrtle Beach. You have families, elderly people, young people, construction workers and people from local businesses. For $15 it cannot be beat. Not only will I be back again but I plan on bringing some of my friends from up north who are going to love this place...plus I gotta try that pulled pork and Mac and cheese...if the fried chicken and fish have more seasoning, I'll up them to 5 stars.

My husband and I were in the mood for some comfort food one evening and decided to grab takeout…read morefrom On Thyme. We tried calling ahead, but couldn't get through on the phone. It was a little frustrating, but it's also a testament to how popular this place is! We ended up stopping by to place our order in person instead. Between the two of us, we ordered a burger, the Pow Wow Shrimp, Philly Egg Rolls, loaded cheese fries, and fried mushrooms. Honestly, this has become one of our favorite comfort food spots, and every visit reminds us why. The Pow Wow Shrimp is absolutely phenomenal every single time. It has just the right amount of spice--even for someone like me who has a pretty low tolerance for heat. It's flavorful without being overwhelming. The Philly Egg Rolls are easily one of my favorite comfort food dishes anywhere. They're always packed full of delicious filling, never skimpy on the ingredients, and cooked to crispy perfection. The loaded cheese fries are another favorite, topped with plenty of melty cheese, bacon, and green onions. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and while the fried mushrooms probably aren't my favorite in town, they're still a great option if that's your thing. They're large, crispy, and cooked well. That said, if I had to choose, I'd order the Pow Wow Shrimp and Philly Egg Rolls every single time. We also usually grab one of the fresh juices or lemonades from the cooler by the register. I can't remember which flavors we picked this time, but I know they were delicious, just like always. One thing that really stood out was how well everything traveled. Even by the time we got home, every item was still hot, fresh, and tasted like it had just come out of the kitchen. If you're looking for a place with consistently delicious comfort food, generous portions, and dishes that are packed with flavor, On Thyme is definitely worth a visit.

I particularly love the mac'n'cheese, fried chicken, and the BBQ fish. Make sure you save room though for the desserts- there's usually some type of cobbler in the buffet too and it's always good.

Our service was quick and efficient! We snuck in right before the rush around 5:45 PM our server Kyra was wonderful! Her timing was excellent and her suggestions were spot on! She was friendly, efficient, and just added to the great experience that all four of us had! My husband and I shared the mahi special and something called Crete Beets ( spelled on the menu beats); both were absolutely delicious! The mahi was prepared perfectly and had a nice light creole sauce which they put on the side for dipping and the crab mac & cheese was delightful with asparagus that was cooked on point; not overdone and not underdone which I know in restaurants is sometimes difficult to do. The crete "beats" was more or less a charcuterie board of roasted purple and gold beats with the most delicious whipped dip and perfectly seasoned and baked pita some of the best I've ever had with olives and cucumbers, and pickled red onions! I can't really describe the dip and apparently it's top-secret because I asked for the recipe! Our friends ordered the beet salad with extra beets; shrimp Tapatio and a bowl of the soup of the day. All were delicous and there was not a crumb or a drop left on their plates while my husband and I were still eating ours! The soup of the day was a potato jalapeño cheddar and it did not disappoint! this seriously is one of the few consistent restaurants on the island! I'm still dreaming about my food this morning!

Soul Flavor in Carolina Beach has become one of our favorite places, and tonight reminded us why…read more The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else around--guitars on the walls, old albums, photos of singers, and that easy soul-music vibe that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It feels relaxed, welcoming, and full of appreciation for the music and history. Soul music belongs to everybody who loves it, whether it's classic soul, Motown, or even a little blue-eyed soul mixed in. This place feels like it's celebrating that tradition, not exploiting it. Natalie took great care of us and gave us the kind of service that makes you feel right at home. I had the chicken and noodles, which were rich, comforting, and the sort of dish that would make your grandmother nod in approval. Mimi had the Tropical Tikia Marsala with scallops, shrimp, mahi filet, mango, pineapple, coconut rice, and it was outstanding--sweet, savory, and just different enough to make you wonder why more places don't cook like this. We finished by sharing the warm toffee pecan bread pudding, and if you leave without trying it, well, that's like walking out of church before the choir sings. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. Soul Flavor is a Carolina Beach gem, and we'll definitely be back.

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!

I'm glad my daughter was with me because there was no instructions or help navigating how their system works. The restaurant is not real large and there are tables only. They can accommodate a large group. One came in while we were there. You go up to the counter and tell them what you want and they make the plate for you. I chose the beef stew with field peas, mashed potatoes and cabbage. It came with cornbread too. The beef was delicious, tender and seasoned well. The field peas were awesome, the cabbage just average. The cornbread was dry but was good with the cabbage. I got sweet tea to drink and it was good. Our different choices were meatloaf and Mac and cheese . I tasted the meatloaf and it was outstanding! I hope they have it next time we come. I also learned after I ate that you can get fried chicken. I would love to try that. I think one of our group would have ordered it if we had known. Service was average and the place was clean. I am sure we will be back.
