We stopped in this local Myrtle beach soul food restaurant due to the amazing reviews. So glad we…read moredid We ordered take out and the staff was really friendly. The place was mobbed. We got a little bit of everything and loved every bite Can't wait to go back in a few months. Definitely a "visit every time we are in town" place.

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.

Simply Southern Smokehouse - Pulled Pork & Fried Chicken

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.

Buffet only. So poor quality across the board. Hard to provide good food for tour groups of 50. I…read moreknow, but most of the offerings were just "fair". Pulled Pork was acceptable with a lot of BBQ sauce. Collard Greens were OK. Grits were not bad ! If you like banana cream pie/pudding, there's was pretty good!! I would not return. But where else do you go with a bus full of 50 senior citizens?

I highly recommend reservations during the summer. The ambiance In the restaurant is very cozy. There was plenty of staff keeping the pace moving. Our server Sabrina greeted us cheerfully and took our drink order right away. When she returned we had questions about a few menu items. Sabrina cheerfully pointed out some of her favorites and we were happy she did! We ordered nachos with homemade chili for an appetizer and they were huge! For our entrees we ordered a Fried Flounder Platter and the Nawlins Chicken. The flounder had a few bones so that caused some apprehension. Although both entrees were good, the real show stopper was the side salad! Following Sabrina's recommendation, we all ordered with their house dressing and the most delicious croissant we ever ate. If you don't remember anything, about this post, remember the salad We were thankful for Sabrina's pleasant demeanor and great attitude making our meal even more enjoyable! i believe a great server can make or break a night out.

My 1st ever experience and it was amazing!!!!!…read more The croissants were so fresh and delicious! I could have eaten them all night I got the loaded potato soup. It was freaking great! So flavorful, I just wish it had more bacon, it was still very hearty!!! I'd get that again and again The thyme and roseMary salmon was ok. All that seasoning on top for it just to taste fishy. I wasn't impressed. Overall great place, everything was clean, there was a line, so I recommend going online to be on the table list.

This restaurant, however, hit the mark completely--it was an absolute culinary masterpiece! I stayed in the area for eight days, and I literally ate here every single day. That is how incredible it was. Over the course of my week-long streak, I managed to try almost everything on the menu, and every single dish was cooked to absolute perfection. You can taste the genuine quality, passion, and traditional Italian flavor in every bite. On top of the phenomenal food, the service was outstanding. The staff made me feel welcome, cared for, and right at home from day one. To top it all off, the prices are exceptionally reasonable for the incredible quality you receive. If you want real, high-quality Italian food, this is the place. I would come back here in a heartbeat and cannot recommend it highly enough!

The chicken parm was good - nice sauce and thin cutlet like we liked. The alfredo was pretty flavorless, even with adding cracked pepper and the penne alla vodka wasn't super saucy and also tasted bland. Side caesar was decent but the free bread was super crumbly and went everywhere. Calamari and stuffed mushrooms were still tasty.
