41 Best American Restaurants in Florence

“I knew it would be a cool place when the door knobs were gas pumps. Everything was detailed down to the napkin rings. It lived up to its name for sure. The food was amazing! Our waitress Cozy, I can't say enough about her. She had the best personality, super sweet and when we had decided what we wanted she definitely told us about our choices, like how they are prepared, what they come with and if she had tried them herself. I will definitely be back.“

“The food was great great service and a very good waitress nice attmessphere would eat there again when back in the area.“

“Kailyn was amazing!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better waitress! We came here on vacation from South Carolina and didn’t know anything to do around here with small children and she went way out of her way to help find us something to do! Also was my son’s 3rd birthday and she went above and beyond to make sure his day was amazing!!! Overall great service and food! Amazing!!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!!! Seats away from the bar and amazing service!“

“I am never disappointed with the food or beverages or service.“

“This was a very horrible dining experience we ordered there ribeye and added there bacon jam to steak when steak came out both were missing bacon jam the waiter took off before we could tell him finally got the bacon jam on side my steak was tasteless the salad maby had 5 sprigs of cheese on it garlic vegetables almost tasteless small portions when waiter brought our bill he held it in his hand not showing us and said I will take your payment my husband said can I see bill first lol oh ya and handed it to us 85.00 the steaks were 32 00 a piece the menu in restaurant said 27.00 and on line menu said they were 26 the waiter said inflation let me get manager who said the online menu was not there’s in one breath and in next breath said said he would let them know to change it and walked off we were from Illinois visiting ark encounter it was our anniversary so I will be sure to tell everyone in Illinois if they visit Don’t eat here and I scratched out tip on receipt I always leave an 18 to 20 percent tip but not today here’s your tip you are rude and outrageously priced“

“Fun atmosphere. Fun was good. Some of the bartenders were fun, if only they would make eye contact! They weren’t that busy yet we had to wave them down for refills, to order, to get a box (when we got their attention for a box it was another good 10 minutes b4 they arrived) and then had to get their attention to pay! Not attentive at all!“

“My husband and I love Cracker Barrel. The food is tasty. The coffee is good...better than most! And we like the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The hostess Tammy has been there forever and we feel like she is a friend. The food is also reasonably priced. The store has some beautiful items. I just bought some of the cutest baby items!“

“Wow soooo good! I had the seafood platter! It was sooo good!!! Loved all of it. That asparagus was to die for!!!! Yummy!!! 5*****“

“This Culver’s is good. I do recommend it. However, tonight when we went through the line, we sat for about 10-15 minutes before getting to place our order then waited an additional 15 at the window for our order. John, who is a teenager— was the only employee taking orders and apparently making those orders as well. He was friendly at the window to us and didn’t appear to be in a bad mood. There were other employees working with him, yet it appeared he was getting zero help from them. We could hear from the drive through window that there were female employees laughing and carrying on in the background. It’s clear that they were not helping with the drive through one bit. Keep in mind, the dining area was completely empty… I really feel bad for John, he was quite literally working alone and the drive through was pretty busy. Whoever else was “working” with him should be written up.“

“I had great service from all employees especially Shannon. When I come in she always has a smile and excellent service. I give this store a 11 on a 1-10 scale.“

“Today was my first visit to First Watch & i don't expect it to be my last, as there is so much on the menu that i want to try. Today was their French Toast & it was absolutely delicious. I do recommend First Watch in Florence Square.“

“The flavors of the food and atmosphere is phenomenal.“

“First time here. Plenary of parking, restaurant was very clean. Service was fantastic! Overall, a good value. I just couldn’t give it that 5th star yet.

My server suggested the half sandwich combo which comes with a potato pancake and cup of soup. I let her pick for me and she brought beef barley soup which was delicious! The Rueben was really good, although just a tad light on the pastrami for my taste. But a really good sandwich, nonetheless. The potato pancake had good flavor and seasoning but texturally, was a bit rubbery. It was difficult to cut and chew. Finally, the sweet tea… oh man it’s divine! Yum!

I’ll definitely be back soon to try other things!“

“Very good service and good food“

“La mejor comida y ambiente en Florence y la mejor liga de Billard 💯🇵🇷“

“Great place to gather! The food is great! We'd recommend that everyone checks it out!“

“We loved the variety of food and everything was fresh and hot. Sam was our server and she went above and beyond for our family.“

“Kim is the best! Outstanding service and food!“

“Great food and great service!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great dinner at LongHorn Steakhouse tonight. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken and the chopped steak were both on point—flavorful, cooked perfectly, and absolutely worth the calories. Our friends placed an online order for pickup before we left, and it was ready exactly when it was supposed to be (love when that actually happens). Great food, smooth pickup, and zero complaints—always a win.“

“Yummy 🤤 it was amazing 😋❤️“

“First Time for me. My husband talked it up a lot. Not Terrible but not Rock My World Food. I got the 4-way and it was good. My husband got 3 cheese coneys but ended up getting a 4th if that tells you anything. I got the pineapple upside down cheesecake and it was a pleasant, unique dessert. So glad they had red cream soda. My husband got a Red Cream Soda float. I would do again which we will do before we leave Cincinnati. I will try the cheese coneys next time.“

“Cassie and Jen are awesome servers! The dinner specials are delicious, and we love their breakfast! The owner really knows how to cook, and his homemade desserts are yummo! They have drink specials every day, and have Karaoke on Friday and Saturday. It’s all non-smoking! If you haven’t been here in a while I suggest you go check them out! They are open Tuesday through Saturday.“

“I ordered take out on 2/11/25 & in the process of ordering two dinners I had an issue with my credit card that had me worried, but after speaking with the Mgr (Billy ) I nolonger was in that mindset, Billy fixed the problem and my dinners was stomach happy, will certainly return again. Great customer service and the dinners was a match 👌thank you Billy & staff ! see u soon Darlene Miller.“

“The whole process from ordering to receiving our food was exceptional. The food was very hot and tasty! However, it was an extremely cold night and the restaurant was uncomfortably cold. Having some heat would have made this a 5 star review.“

“Food is great prices are decent. Though what really caught my eye was the older male manager with glasses. He had a positive attitude, he was so kind, everything about him was upbeat. I especially loved how he talked to all the young men working. When he asked them to do something he was polite about it and said please. He was training another young boy to clean the dining room. I love that he was teaching him and not having some other employee teach him. This place is rocking it for a fast food joint“

“When I went into this restaurant they gave me lollipops to choose from and they handed my mom something like in a box. It was a mystery and then when we opened it it was cheesesteak and it was Oreo cheesecake. So that was yummy. And I had the hot dog and it was fine. I also had fries which were pretty good. They had this cool display of license plates from other states. and their drinks were really good. I had Pepsi which was nice and the tables were clean so that was good. That's why I recommend you eat here.“

“Went to this Lee's tonight with my wife at 6:45 pm thru the drive thru! First time here . Very impressed with both gentleman at pay and pick up windows!
Very personal, friendly, and efficient!!!
Got 2 dinners ,very delicious and fresh !
Will return and I do recommend to you !!“

“Our first stop off the plane to get dinner, we were starving from a long day of travel. The staff was very friendly, famous for wings - that is what we ordered and absolutely recommend. So crispy and delicious! Atmosphere is family friendly and welcoming.“

“Love Waffle House!!! I am a worker and I love my job!!“

“Been a regular customer here for three years. Went today with my daughters for a mommy daughters date. One of the servers Jimmy has always shown kindness to us. He decided to pay for our meal. This made our day so special. This is why i love this waffle house. Can’t wait for next time. Thank you Jimmy ❤️“

“1st time eating there. grilled chicken sandwich was delicious. my granddaughter loved the tablet they have on all the tables to play games while we waited. however we didn't wait long. service was incredibly quick“

“First time in a long time. Absolutely delicious crab cakes in shell, shrimp, fish and green beans. Highly Recommend.“

“The staff at this Steak 'n Shake are wonderful! We had a belated Christmas get together (place requested by my granddaughters). We had a large group and large order. It took awhile, but it was noon so you would expect it. They brought out free fries for the girls while we waited. Everyone was so nice and our food was hot and fresh!“

“🥰 great place great staff great food great games great drinks great prices“

“12/29/22. Our table was waited on by Jonathan and he did an excellent job. He checked on us several times during our dinner including twice before our actual entrees arrived. It was nice to have a very attentive person take pride in what he was doing. Thank you very much.“

“Had dinner tonight with a buddy, and Abi took great care of us! Courteous, attentive, shared in our laughter- all the things I love about a good restaurant! Will definitely be back. 🧡“

“My husband and I came to this Applebee's Restaurant for our 11th Anniversary. Our waitress the beautiful soul who took care of us like family, Ms. Bethany, thank you. I want you to know that you made our night and our anniversary extra special with your kindness. God bless you and until next time💐♥️❤️💙💖💓✈️😍“

“Nice restaurant. Good menu 👍“

“We were greeted by the Manger. Waiters were friendly & attentive. Food was good. Sport Restaurants are usually not known for clean restrooms, as it’s almost always the customers who trash the restrooms.“

“Me and my husband loves ihop but today September 1,2025 there is a change with the food and service . My crispy chicken sandwich no avocado and the lettuce is wilted. We asked the server about the avocado and she said you still it? We asked also for a refill of sweet tea and we waited long for our refills.“
