Superb chopped beef. The vinegar based sauce brought out the natural flavor. Beans and greens were really good as well. Interesting wall of historical photos including the founders. Sims has been in LR for over 90 yrs. This was the one on Broadway downtown.
The food and service are always wonderful at Sims. So glad their dining room is once again open!!
Delicious They serve all food to go but there are tables to sit down. We had the lunch special Monday-Friday it was so good. Glad we shared it was so good got the ribs,links,potato salad and coleslaw. We liked our sides and people working there super nice. Would absolutely stop in again.
I came towards the end of the day. I was immediately greeted and my order was taken. I love the glimpses of black history on the wall. I ordered a combination plate with ribs, chopped beef, greens, green beans and sweet potato pie. Everything was wonderful, hot and flavorful! I really wished they opted for homemade sweet potato pie rather than store brought. I'll definitely try again!
I'm not sure how they managed to have sides that steal the show, but Sim's is the whole package. I got the chopped beef - finely chopped with some crispy bits. And while the meat could not have been any more satisfying, the greens and beans were even more out of this world. The most perfect blend of seasoning salt, meat, and a hint of vinegar. Absolute perfection. No dining in during Covid times; but the order at the front was a pleasant experience. And the cashiers were friendly and helpful. I cracked open my messy to go box right in the parking lot and chowed down.
I asked one of the workers here at the hotel where I can find some barbecue. Before I can even put the dot on my sentence he said "Sims barbecue about 3 miles away". I didn't give it much thought I just went with his suggestion and boy the local was right!! It's the old-school southern vibe in here that's simply offer's good barbecue. Prices are decent and competitive from what I read around here. The two young ladies at the front desk a very pleasant and professional. But the food tho..the SLICED BEEF. Gtfoh!! That was delish! I liked the thin vinegary sauce that wasn't too much. It wasn't too thick it wasn't too thin it wasn't too tangy it wasn't too over powering it anyway. Yet it was such a good complement to the barbecue. I got the ribs with the beef, greens and green beans with cornbread. Nuff said
