“We visited here for lunch after a road trip to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. This is a solid little spot for country cooking.

The sign for the place is a little hard to see and I missed the turn to enter the parking area initially. Made our way back and found a spot, though the lot is a little bit hard to maneuver. We walked inside to a slightly hot, slightly dim interior. It's larger than it looks on the outside. A friendly waitress told us we could sit where we liked, so we took a booth near a window so we could see the menu better.

Their choices were fairly varied for lunch. Lunches come with a meat + 3 veggies and your choice of bread. I ordered the boneless fried chicken breast, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, and at the recommendation of our waitress, the hash brown casserole with a roll as my bread. My mom got the country fried steak with brown gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried okra, cabbage, and a roll. My dad got the same thing except he subbed the cabbage for greens of some sort, though I can't recall if they were turnip or collard greens. He also got the fried cornbread.

Our waitress was very nice and patient with us, even with my dad chatting her up, lol. Our food came out quickly. You pay at the register up front -- we thought the prices were reasonable.

As for the food itself, it was enjoyable! Simple, straightforward, but tasty and comforting. The chicken was breaded expertly and was cooked well. To me, the stand out was the fried okra, which was perfectly crisp. We also enjoyed the macaroni and cheese, greens, and chicken fried steak. My mom said her best thing was the cabbage, which was surprising at first -- but I agree, the cabbage was excellent! The hashbrown casserole and the fried cornbread were the only two letdowns; the casserole needed to be cooked and seasoned a bit more, and the cornbread was likewise a little on the floppy side, instead of having pleasantly crisp edges.

Overall, though, solid country cooking at a reasonable price served quickly by nice people. Give them a go if you're in the area.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I had the most unforgettable anniversary lunch at the 360 Grille in Florence, AL, and it deserves every one of these five stars! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was romantic and inviting. The stunning panoramic views of the city provided a breathtaking backdrop for our special day. But what truly made our experience exceptional was our server, Marlon. He was nothing short of AMAZING! His warm smile and attentive service made us feel like royalty throughout our meal. And speaking of the meal – wow! The new chef at the 360 Grille has quickly become our favorite. Their culinary talent shines through in every bite. What's remarkable is how they manage to take old, beloved dishes and infuse them with new life, making them taste even better than we remembered. But it's the new creations that truly blew us away. Each dish was a work of art, both in presentation and flavor. We couldn't stop raving about how phenomenal everything tasted. The attention to detail, the perfect ambiance, Marlon's outstanding service, and the culinary masterpiece that is this new menu – all combined to make our anniversary lunch a memory we will cherish forever. Thank you, 360 Grille, for making our special day truly exceptional. We can't wait to return for more culinary adventures! If you're looking for an extraordinary dining experience in Florence, this is the place to be. You won't be disappointed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I’ve asked 2 people nicely for my cup and they just stared at me blankly. I understand the profession is hard, but you need a little bit of personality. Food is decent. I’ll consider this location again.“

“Wonderful Brunch today with family. The food was delicious. Highly recommend!“

“If you happen to be eating low carb, don't eat here unless you eat just a steak, or grilled chicken. Wish they had some low carb options. I didn’t want a baked potato but if you do, they don't have those. My steak was really good.“

“Flobama is a place to make unforgettable memories. Whether you join the well trained staff for a birthday dinner, incredible local musical talents, or a night out on the town…THEY ARE ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACES! Flobama is perfect if your looking to eat slow smoke fall off the bone ribs, top quality burgers full of bold flavor/variety, or snacking on perfectly crisp fried pickles. Kids friendly during the appropriate hours of before 8:30. The kids love the Elvis impersonation act they book pretty consistently throughout the year. EAT.LISTEN.ENJOY IS A PERFECT LOGO TO DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCE at FLOBAMA. Give it a try, I can give you a 100% guarantee you’ll be glad you did.“

“10/10! Food is amazing, prices are great, and the staff is even better! Martha took our to-go order close to closing time and even stayed a few minutes later when we were running behind. Will come here again and recommend to everyone!“

“The girl at the gift shop taking the money needs to not pick her nose while waiting on customers“

“The food is good, but, Dang, it's so cold in here!!!“

“Fantastic experience! Food is amazing! Must eat place.“

“Extremely friendly service. Very affordable considering the portion sizes are enough for dinner and a decent lunch the next day. Flavors beat any Mexican place in the area by a mile. As authentic as I believe you can get for northwest alabama. Has the typical CASA food, arroz con Pollo etc. But I urge you to branch out and try something new because it's phenominal!!!“

“First time ever! Went to go to another restaurant but they were closed, so glad they were. Zachary was our waiter, great guy, wonderful service, excellent food, & the bartender was like no other. Best Ribs & Chicken anywhere! Steak with house sauce was excellent! Last but not least the skillet brownie had ice cream & caramel sauce. It was fresh & hot YUMMY. To say the least 5 STARS! We will definitely be back!! Oh by the way Happy Birthday Zachary!“

“Best wings in the Shoals area hands down whether they are smoked or fried!!! The fish is also delicious. Always cooked fresh and definitely worth the wait. The Red Velvet cake is also the perfect dessert after a good meal from this establishment. The place is at the top of my list of best places to eat in the area!“

“I got the pulled pork sandwich and bbq pork nachos. I also purchased small sides of coleslaw, bbq beans and potato salad. the nachos were very good with an ample amount of pork. The sandwich was very good. Ordered it without the mayo and pickle and get red sauce on the side. I was great as well. Liked all the sides, especially the beans. They were smokey and had meat in them as well. Slaw was a vinegar style and was very good. The potato salad was very creamy and delicious. I highly recommend this place.“

“We had the pleasure of meeting the general manager yesterday, who overheard our conversation about how much we enjoyed our food. He came over to express his appreciation for our visit and stated that he was happy we enjoyed our meal. He was very kind, and our waitress provided exceptional service. The establishment was friendly and professional. As a resident of Huntsville, we visited Florence to see the Helen Keller home and the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum. BBB was the icing on the cake - a delightful experience. This was our second time in Florence, and we will most definitely return.“
