There were highlights and areas of improvement in terms of the food. Overall my spouse and I had a…read moregood experience while here as our server was incredibly helpful and courteous, and we enjoyed majority of what we ate because we're both avid soul food lovers. We ordered two plates, and tried both the fried livers and the fried gizzards, and both were very solid with good seasoning and good crisp. We also thought that the mashed potatoes, candied yams, and the rice & gravy were all very abundant and seasoned very well. The peach cobbler was also a hit with the right amount of consistency and sweentess. The beignets were a pleasant surprise because we had never tried them with honey and after trying it that way, we could be down with it. On the other hand, the shrimp with grits had extremely plain grits and extremely salty shrimp, and mixing them altogether definitely made the dish tasted more balanced but it didn't change the fact that the shrimp was still salty and the grits didn't catch too much of the salt on the shrimp. The fried okra had soggy outer shell. The gumbo was a bit watery and didn't have enough roux, and the rice included was soggy which seemed like it was out for a while and heated up. Aside from food, it was worth noting that we were initially placed on the list and were told that we'd receive a text upon a table ready, and unfortunately we never received one, despite seeing people that came in later getting tables. After we went back inside 30 minutes later to see what happened, they didn't give us an explanation, but managed to get us the next table. This anecdote made us confused when we first sat down, but we decided to no longer worry about what happened and was in a mood ready to dine.

There was a paper between the pork chop and rice with beans, I appreciate that. Now the paper under the rice and Lima beans was soggy and broke into pieces. I tried the food and it just didn't have the flavor so I quit. I wasn't going to attempt to get the pieces of paper out. I understand a bad day, they have been in that location for a while. I will try again hopefully with different results.

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.

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!

I am going to use several superlatives. Don't think I'm overhyping this restaurant. When I say it's…read moreabsolutely amazing, I'm being completely sincere. I used to review restaurants for a daily newspaper, so I know how to be critical. The trouble with Judy Boone's is that there's nothing to criticize; except for maybe the wait which is justified. We were there for BBQ night, with our 19 and 22 year old sons. My youngest left a pile of rib bones as high as his head. My oldest discovered that he really likes fried pork chops and proceeded to eat four. I had popcorn shrimp, fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, pulled pork, green beans, chicken bog, sweet potatoes and later peach pudding. Each was extraordinary; not just extraordinary, the sort of food that makes you gasp and how amazing it tastes, each commanding your attention and demanding to be your new favorite. I can only assume the chefs here are wizards. Our server was warm and friendly without being obtrusive. I think that's a tough line to walk. The decor is charming and evocative. There's just something magical about it, especially as a man from the north. Maybe this is all normal for South Carolina, but I suspect not. Locals are so lucky to have this in their area and me and my family have found a new vacation 'must stop' for future trips to Myrtle Beach.

Sweet tea that will bring back memories of early childhood, and better times, and food that will make you chat and talk, and make you wonder what happened to places like this?

After landing at Myrtle Beach International Airport, my friend and I headed straight to Simply…read moreSouthern Smokehouse for lunch--and it was the perfect way to experience Southern hospitality. If you're looking for authentic Southern comfort food rather than another seafood buffet, Simply Southern Smokehouse is one of Myrtle Beach's best-known local favorites. The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring a wide variety of home-style classics in a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. One of its most charming traditions is that the staff periodically break into song, creating a warm, welcoming experience that's uniquely Southern. The buffet changes daily, but during our visit it featured an impressive selection including crispy fried chicken, fried pork chops, pulled pork barbecue, smoked chicken legs, collard greens, green beans, cornbread, banana pudding, soft-serve ice cream, and peach cobbler. The fried chicken was outstanding--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside--and the pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Personally, I tend to prefer barbecue with a deeper, smokier profile, so while I enjoyed the pulled pork, this is better described as a traditional Southern buffet than a destination for smoked barbecue. The homemade desserts, especially the peach cobbler, provided the perfect ending to the meal. The value is exceptional, especially considering the variety and quality of the food. The staff was genuinely friendly, and the singing added a fun, memorable touch that made the restaurant feel more like a community gathering than just another buffet. I also appreciated the thoughtful gesture of complimentary pocket New Testament Bibles available for guests near the entrance. If you're visiting Myrtle Beach and want to experience classic Southern cooking at a reasonable price, Simply Southern Smokehouse is well worth a visit. Come hungry, expect hearty comfort food rather than competition-style barbecue, and you'll likely leave satisfied.
