I came in not soo far away from closing time, so I knew there probably wasn't much to choose from and was fine with that bc thier food is pretty good. A lady named Tamera helped me with my order and was so polite, and gave me better portions then I even expected! They whole staff was attentive, and kind.Dietary restrictions: I was getting a plate for my father who doesn't eat pork, and they gave me all the options for his sides! Very helpful!

We had a fantastic experience at Sylvia Jo's. The menu is diverse, and the flavors were exceptional.

^^^As to your comment, Mr Daniel Kreshak when you came in with your friend you were told about how we do things at our restaurant and actually I told you both that our sampler special was for “ anything you would like that will fit on your plate one time through”. That is not very hard to comprehend. If you could come back through it would be a buffet, not a bar! And I asked how you enjoyed the food so not sure why your review was low! I also took care of the cake myself….the other gentleman did not pay extra! I did! I am very sorry you feel the way you do but our family restaurant is well spoken of by all who come there. Your 1/5 review for service is truly your opinion. Our waitresses go above and beyond as you can read in the other reviews! If you are ever back in Sumter and would like a great home cooked meal we will be glad to serve you but just remember “ anything that fits on your plate in ONE visit! Thanks for your review!

They have a one time through rule. I was treated to the Sampler meal($14) and got baked chicken. After I finished the meal, the ,gentleman who paid for my meal, told me that I was entitled to a piece of cake. I went up to the counter and asked for a piece and was told by the server that it would cost an additional $2. I told her that the gentleman who paid for my meal said that it was included with the meal. She gave it to me but after I went back to the table, the servers came up to us and demanded we paid the $2 because I should have taken a piece of cake the first time through the line. Later on, we went up to the cashier and explained what happened and she did not charge us the $2 but it was a very uncomfortable situation.

Our first time here, and we had breakfast. The bacon was very hard,after I asked for not too crispy, the grits were so salty we couldn't eat them , had no decaffeinated coffee. The waitress was very nice and nothing was her fault, but they need a new cook.

I've tried several different items and haven't been disappointed with anything I've tried. The ribs are probably my favorite and they just fall off the bone. The burgers are awesome as well and I love those home fries. I've always gotten great service while eating lunch and I've even reunited with some old friends. Great food and good people. ?

Went there to get 2 breakfast without eggs,1with bacon 1with sausage a tea & orange juice. They charged me $18. Called back told me it would be $15. Called again to speak with Amber she gave the phone to someone else & they told me it would be $17. Do yall just charge whatever yall want for your breakfast? This is my last time going there.
