My order had A LOT of flavor, wait time for food was short (6 minutes), and prices were very reasonable given inflation of takeout ($10.70 for my meal before tip). The only con I came up with is...definitely don't weigh yourself afterwards! As a small business supporter, I will be stopping by more often and I strongly urge Sumter residents to do as well. Especially with the limited amount of new restaurants.

Not the best the town has to offer, but I had zero complaints about the BBQ or the quality of the sides itself. The real seller is the quantity of food for the price. I have a large appetite and I considered the SMALL pork dinner a lot of food. I couldn't even imagine the large! And for only $9 in 2025, I can't imagine a lot of take-out options where you can get as much good food. Personally, I'd go again whenever I'm on another cheat day (more likely the $5.50 pork sandwich), but I really like this place for Sumter.

A True Southern Gem in Sumter…read more Simply Southern Bistro absolutely deserves all five stars. Every time I walk through the door, I'm greeted with warm hospitality and the kind of service that makes you feel like family. The food is consistently outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and made with real Southern heart. Whether it's their perfectly seasoned entrées, the homemade sides, or those desserts you can't say no to, everything tastes like it came straight from someone's kitchen who knows what they're doing. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual lunch or a relaxed dinner. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do, and it shows in both the service and the quality of the food. Sumter has plenty of places to eat, but Simply Southern Bistro stands out as one of the best. If you want a meal that hits the spot every single time, this is the place. Highly recommend.

It's pulled smoked turkey with sweet vinegar zauce and coleslaw and it was so good. It was served with fried chipz too (all menu items are). My husband ordered the turkey gyro and it was good but it just didn't compare to my sandwich. I can't wait to try a few other menu items from this food truck again soon.

Salmon, Ribs, Brisket, Whitefish, BBQ Chicken, Fried Chicken also available with great sides, and appetizers. Sweet tea is sweeeeet I forgot to mention...they are located under the Kanat sign, beside the Dollar Tree, in the WalMart shopping Center on US 70. (Don't ask why, it is worth looking them up!) These new restaurants coming into this shopping center are bringing some great variety, and flavor to our community, and I hope that you are trying them out. Most are family owned, and along with those that have been there for a while, this could be a great area for family meals on this side of Clayton soon. That would certainly be a welcome occurrence, I believe.
