17 Best Southern Restaurants near Florence

“This is a antique shop, not sure about the food. I just want to express my mother passed away 2 years ago. People had stolen valuables from her home that she worked so hard for, cherished. My mother never bothered a soul, very private, great all around American citizen. Due to my poor judgement trying to help friends in need they were stealing my mother's things and taking them to this antique shop to sell them cost irrelevant they should have never been stolen and or sold. I, 1st time walked in this shop with a friend and spotted immediately my late mothers dishes etc. I panicked, want real sure who, how, why they were there. I immediately notified the purchasing rep (owner) Tiffany told her my story. Without question, care, concern she immediately started boxing, bagging ALL of my mother's things. I offered to pay her. She absolutely refused any amount of money. No questions etc she expressed her sympathy, she expressed her unaware. She stated to me description without name as she also stated she would not ever sell to this couple again. That was a very kind gesture as she did not have to take any type of loss. She is a business woman her honesty will forever hold a special place in my heart as she will be rewarded 10 fold for her good deeds. It's hard these days to trust people. Tiffany you rock sister. I will shout it from the roof tops and suggest everyone I know to shop at your cute little antique, botique shop love to all. Xoxo“

“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!“

“I started eating Lee's famous recipe chicken at the Florence y'alls stadium we lived the food so we decided to go to a restaurant and try it in person and I was blown away at how nice the staff was and the food was delicious I will definitely be back in the future.“

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

“My wife and I went to this restaurant today, after a great recommendation from one of my employees. This place is absolutely amazing! The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is completely top notch! Literally better service than I have received probably ever, and we go to A LOT of restaurants. Literally, my wife’s napkin fell to the ground and after I picked it up, the lady who was the host to us seen it and brought her a new one. Drinks did not run dry, and every single member of the staff was helping out and conversing with us. The owner and chef even came out to shake my hand. What an absolute gem in Cincinnati. This is a place NOT to miss out on. And don’t forget to order the cornbread! Hands down the best I have ever tasted. We left and wished we were hungry again and could turn around and go back inside.“

“This place is great! Went for my wife’s birthday dinner. Everything we had was delicious. The pan fried chicken thighs on mushroom risotto was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The great service helped make the whole experience memorable.“

“The chicken is the best in Kentucky. The green beans were country style and awesome. Then the mashed potatoes with bacon and pepper gravy was awesome also. I definitely recommend this place. Just had the chocolate pecan pie with bourbon sauce with butter pecan ice cream, that was the best I ever had.“

“I love it, but I don't know the fruits in English very well, and it's complicated and makes me very nervous. But there are always people who help you. Thank you! And how delicious! If I could eat this all the time, believe me, I would. Excellent food!“

“I have been her numerous Times! Always great!! Today … not so much! The “ manager” was rude and down right mean!!! I have gotten the mini croissants for parties many times. They are ALWAYS PRE CUT! I ordered 36. She would not cut them and they stuffed them in a bag too small and many were smashed flat….. not the look I wanted for the shower I am giving!!! How disappointing!!!“

“My husband and I had a great experience at Libby's. We ordered the sampler which was juat okay. Our biggest gripe with it was that the pork belly was overcooked and too chewey on the deviled eggs. The goetta balls fine in the sauce they were served with but, the fried green tomatoes stole the show. The sauce had a slight kick that paired so well with the fried tomato.
For the main course we had a Hot Brown and Shrimp with grits; both of which were rich in flavor and took oir taste buds to a new level.

Dessert included hot served bread pudding with apples and Honey Pie. The pudding we will be getting again soon. The Honey Pie was a new and interesting dish. If you're looking for pie that is custard-like , similar to pumpkin pie but with honey flavor, order this.

Service was friendly and available without being pushy. The atmosphere was relaxed. We'll undoubtedly be returning soon.“

“What a great eatery. The chicken tenders, the crispy fries and slaw were excellent. I was in the party of6 and my friend got the hottest tenders on the menu. will be back for sure. Staff was excellent, attentive, professional, thanx for a great experience.“

“The fried chicken was off the wall good, I can honestly eat the crispy breading by
itself!! Juicy chicken, great side dishes and the bread pudding was superb! Logan was such a great server/bartender and he not only helped us with the history of the place but he was on the ball with service and was ssooooo nice!! We will be back to try other menu items.“
