“I've been eating here all my life. Amazing BLT sandwich, and the fries are great, as long as you remember to get your own salt. Everything is nice and cheap, although it is a cash-only/checks accepted establishment. That's not a problem though.

Parking: Parking is great, even if there are no lines, and there's plenty of parking for everyone.“

Thank you Lara for making sure our special evening was absolute perfection 🩷“

“Tonight was my first time at Victors and it was amazing. From the time I walked in and was greeted with the biggest smile from Sharonda to my amazing server Sheldon, thank you guys so much for your kind hospitality. The food was delicious and you could tell that it was prepared with love. The aged ribeye just melts In your mouth. The broccli with the pimento cheese and lobster mac and cheese was also delicious. Their chefs are fabulous cooks. My overall experience was great 10/10. Biggest thanks to the GM Jonathan, thank you so much for having me. I will most definitely be back and recommend your restaurant to others.“

“The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of delicious staples, from scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits, and pancakes (just to name a few). If you love bacon, then you’ll lob this Shoney’s as it was plentiful and continually stocked every few minutes. The atmosphere is great, the restaurant is clean, the food is delicious, and the service was excellent (especially Tracy). Shoney’s was such a staple of numerous family vacations and it’s so nice to see that this location is still offering good food and great memories!“

With all the complaints that some establishments get ; I wanted to thank everyone at this location for a very pleasant experience. Keep up the good work.“

“I ordered the 5 pc wings with the BBQ on them. They were amazingily good. Although, the maccaronii i didnt like so much. My Boyfriend ordered the Tenders and biscuit. The Blueberry biscuit, which was the best i ever had. It was soft in the inside and the flavor was incredible. The service was good. It was my first experience there. Highly recommend.“

“Always incredible food and service! We come back every year when we drive north for the holiday and stay in Florence for the night to enjoy dinner at Town Hall! Ambiance is great, food and drinks on point and our server Caroline was fabulous“

“We got here at 8 am July 13th, 2025. We were travelling back home to Baltimore from a visit in Florida. Everything was delicious.. the French toast combo platter was ridiculously huge. The grilled Pork chop platter...omg..could almost cut the whole chop with a fork!. while this is all great,
; the best part of the stop was our server. She mentioned that she had been here for 25 years, and I swear she greeted and spoke with every patron here, as if we were visiting her home. Total control over timely order and drink placement, and delivery..I was travelling with my son and it ended up he just couldnt eat. She packed us up in a hurry with no worries! My only regret is I cannot remember her name to acknowledge her properly, but I am sure everyone there knows who I am talking about... Thank You for a great experience!

“Food is always hot and fresh they cook a lot of comfort foods and the staff is very friendly“

“This is such a great place! We had an excellent breakfast here a few years ago and stopped in on our way back from the beach today. The curry shrimp noodles were perfect! Not too much curry and not too spicy. Lots of shrimp and vegetables. My wife got the blackened grilled tilapia and it was the best!“

“I discovered this restaurant on my way to Savannah and have eaten here two times in tempo Dey’s because it’s that good! The burnt ends are amazing and I had them as an entree and added to the Warm Goat Cheese Salad. The service is stellar as well! I come through the area a few times a year and will definitely be back!“

“Always liked HH, my grandchildren love to go there. Has a homey atmosphere ‼️“

“awsome food great service“

“While at the library, I was feeling a bit hungry so I checked to see what was around within walking distance. Townhouse popped up and when I saw they had Greek food, I knew I had to try them. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in the door. After perusing the menu, I ordered a gyro, fries, and a lemonade for dine in. I found a nice table by the window and observed the traffic coming into the restaurant as well as those using the drive thru window. This place had people coming and going nonstop! My food was quick to be made, and piping hot. The fries were delicious and the gyro wasn’t bad either. The gyro meat did look and taste as though it was a mass produced (square cut pieces with slightly dry edges) and previously frozen item, but the spices were pretty close to what I was expecting. The flat bread it was wrapped in was okay, but had a mass produced flavor as well. Overall, my meal wasn’t too bad for a local family restaurant and the fact that they stayed busy the entire time I was there (between lunch and dinner) shows they have good food overall and the locals love them. I would eat there again to get my Greek food fix.“

“Delicious breakfast !!!!!!!!!“

“Hands down probably the best waffle house on I-95 in north or South Carolina! I am a truck driver and I have been to quite a few. The service and the staff and the cleanliness was awesome, but I always hit this one when running between the Carolinas and Florida.“

“Great food with great friendly service!! Highly recommend going there!“

“This review is my nostalgic memories of 1974, 75, 76, 77. We lived around the bend on King Ave. I taught at the 6th grade center across the street and Ron taught at FMC. We loved our life there and still have dear friends in town though we moved back to Florida in 1995. BEST HOT DOGS IN TOWN!“

“First time here with my fiance . I can confidently say , this won’t be the last . I saw that they were advertising this scrumptious chicken sandwich and I just knew I had to try it . We have 1,000 chicken places in Florence but this was by far , the best sandwich I had in years !!!! My fiance had the wings and he is obsessed with, even order extra to take to work the next day (probably to brag to his co workers about how good they were ). He loved the beer that was recommended (some orange creamsicle tasting beer lol) & the environment was very nice , clean , friendly & it was 1,001 degrees outside but felt so good inside . I love the food & will definitely be back (probably today) lol“

“Had breakfast, it was perfect. The cook was wonderful and our waitress was perfect. If you are hungry for grits, eggs, bacon, toast, omelette come on in good hot coffee and fast service with a smile. Thanks Shanea“

“When we needed a hearty breakfast at 6 in the morning before a 8-hour drive up I95, this Waffle House delivered. Food was quickly served by the friendliest waitress just beginning her shift.“

“Small, one-time sample size but based on the food and drink this place was outstanding. 5 Points IPA was great and paired wonderfully with the Smokehouse Burger. Peppered bacon, pimento cheese, caramelized onion with two perfectly cooked burgers on a brioche roll. Probably a top 5 all-time burger and that's saying something! Friendly bartender was a plus. Place was oddly quiet, but not surprising on a small-town Monday evening. Absolutely worth a stop, need to sample some more of the beer menu!“

“Great food, my server Joseph was great. The manager Eric Williams walked through several times and asked was everything ok. Great place to eat with family and friends. Great service and will go back real soon“

“The Best Gyro was certainly THE BEST I've had in a very long time. Very meaty, well seasoned, luscious tzatziki sauce. Their fries are seasoned and crunchy. My boyfriend had pork tenderloins tips, with rice, sautéed mushrooms and sautéed green beans. The rice was perfectly cooked, the tenderloins were tender and juicy, vegetables were crisp. Everything was very flavorful and well seasoned. The staff very professional and friendly. The place is ample, homey and very clean. If you're ever in Florence, you must check them out!!“

“This past weekend I used Cibo’s to cater a family dinner for 15 people. I asked for chicken fettuccine Alfredo which wasn’t on their catering menu (at least that I could find) as requested by my 6 year old birthday girl and they gladly stated they could make it. They provided salad, bread, tea, plates, utensils, napkins and even walked everything to my car and loaded it for me. The food was praised by everyone and there was leftovers for us to enjoy for lunch the next day. The ordering process and experience was top notch. I will absolutely be ordering their catering service for large parties in the future. The food was absolutely delicious. The easiest experience ever. After a long day of playing in the sun, it was wonderful not to have to think about making dinner and take that time away from spending with my family. Thank you!!“

“My first time there and I enjoyed everything. Food was great!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Great service & food every-time!!!“

“Our waiter Justice at the Florence Restaurant was an exceptionally great, help to us. He was a great server and an asset to the store. We will come back and look for him to wait on us again.“

“I love ❤️ their Chicken Sdw. They are delicious!“

“Anybody ever thought of a bigger floor plan. More tables, more money, less wait time. Make people that are alone sit at the bar.“

“from the first time I have been to now this place has amazed me in every aspect of food service... the taste is amazing the portions is more then expected the timing is unmatched and the people are the nicest ....I suggest them to any and everyone .“

“I miss eating here. 😪 💫💫💫“

“What a hidden gem this place is. For years I just thought it sold hams and such for holidays and big occasions. I was driving by and saw cafe in the name and I stopped in and got a sandwich and side and meal. Now I’ve come back several times for lunch. The staff is so friendly and nice and the service is great. The food is WONDERFUL! I’ve gotten the tavern sandwich and chips and a turkey sandwich and the potato salad and a ham and turkey sandwich with the broccoli side and a salad another day. All were very good! The sweet tea is brewed and is delightful not that nasty fountain kind. Stop in and give them a try you will not be sorry you did! YUMMO“
