"Quick, easy, and delicious. Classic southern style breakfast. The chicken biscuit was bigger and better than chic fil a, and the pancakes were the size of a dinner plate."

"Simply Southern is a little country restaurant that serves breakfast only. But it also calls itself a bakery. No baked goods in sight so I assume they are made on order. Anyhoo, hubby and I each had a grits bowl with eggs and cheese. He had sausage and biscuit on the side I had bacon. Bowls were good but I have to be honest they could have been served a tad hotter. They were only slightly warm. Now, the biscuit was AMAZING . Next time (and there will be a next time) we will order biscuits"

"I’ve been meaning to try this place for a while. This past Saturday, I did just that, and I’m so glad I did. The place is clean with a cute at home feel. The cooks/servers were sweet and provided great customer service. I let them know about one of my allergies and they were careful with my food. I placed a to go order for my daughter and I. I ordered a Chicken Egg & Cheese Biscuit. My daughter loved it. I ordered a Scrambled Eggs and bacon platter with no bread/biscuit. We also got an order of grits and a red link sausage. We enjoyed everything! I’m glad I took the chance on trying something new."

"Little country breakfast place. Wasn’t a big fan of the biscuits or biscuits & gravy. The meats in the biscuit was great ( Ham, Chicken, and bacon biscuits were purchased). Friendly service, very helpful. Will go back to try a breakfast plate."

"Everything about this place is excellent. All the way from the food to the customer service. They talk and treat people with so much respect it makes you want to continue to come back everytime you want breakfast. This place is very clean and neat. The sausage n grits reminds me so much of being back home in FL. They will always get a 5 star rating from me with the tastefulness and quality of their food. Everything is cooked fresh when you walk through the door."

"Traveled from Ohio with my boyfriend, some of the best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had. Biscuits were very soft and buttery and the gravy was perfect! My boyfriend got the pancakes and they were gigantic and also amazingly delicious and so was the fresh sausage. All around great experience and atmosphere."
