Known as “Indy’s best kept secret,” Simply Southern specializes in traditional, home cooked southern comfort food.
Owned and operated by Sherry Lynem, Simply Southern caters to the community through food and was one of the vendors for the third annual Juneteenth Foodways Festival in 2024.
“We believe that a restaurant is more than just a place to eat — it’s a place to respect and savor each individual ingredient, and to honor the unique preferences of each of our patrons,” the website states. “Family inspired cuisine and warm hospitality come together at Simply Southern for the ultimate Soul Food experience.”
The menu features several “mouthwatering” southern staples for breakfast, lunch and dinner, such as fried apples, country fried potatoes and grits, chicken, collard greens, made-to-order fried fish, pork chops, oxtail and more.
Simply Southern is also available to cater for big and small events, such as birthdays, corporate events and weddings. The restaurant space itself can also be booked out for parties or events.
Guests can place a reservation online or order for pick up or delivery though DoorDash, GrubHub and UberEats.
Simply Southern Soul Food is at 2940 E 38th St, Suite F and pop-up events and festivals around the city. For more information, to make a reservation or order catering, visit ordersimplysouthern.com. To get in contact, call 317-542-0203 or email indybestkeptsecret@gmail.com.
