50 Best American Restaurants in Florence

“I recommend Town Hall to anyone and everyone. The front of the house staff are always courteous, knowledgeable of the menu, and very helpful when trying to make a decision. Having some back of the house experience I am a bit partial. Chef Ryan is hands down one of the best people and his work reflects that. He has a solid crew back there with him. Matt and Thomas handled most of our meal Saturday and it was fantastic. I will be back!“

“Food was absolutely Great ! We will be back !“

“Andrena, KB, MiMi, Jeremiah and Martha-Grace are absolutely AMAZING! The food and service are top tier!!! Make sure you get KB to make your mimosa’s!!! 😊 I can’t wait to bring all my friends for brunch and pitchers!! Thanks sooooo much Andrena for running your establishment professionally and efficiently! Your staff reflects your business acumen! Bianca P.-Favorite Insurance Lady💜“

“We ate there for the first time tonight. The whole menu looked amazing. We both got the pecan chicken sandwich which was delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive and the decor is bright and welcoming. It was a great experience and we look forward to going back again.“

“I'm terrible with names, but I wanted to say awesome job by the staff tonight. It all started with the text message from Ms. Rhonda, very warm and welcoming. Her spirit in person is the same. Next our waiter Evan was awesome. Full of personality and didn't mind making sure our meal was what we needed it to be. Now for the MOD (manager on duty). I think her name was Shavonne. She was awesome. She came to our table and made sure we had everything we needed. I also watched her to do this with all tables. I LOVE the new setup and will definitely put Victor's in my rotation for date night.“

“Stopped in with family and friends after a softball tournament in Darlington. From the fries and bang bang shrimp to the oyster Po boy to the loaded grits as a side it was all great. The customer service matched the quality of the food and was a pleasure to eat there.“

“Wonderful service and great food! We came during the bad storms last weekend and had the entire restaurant to ourselves. The salad bar was fresh and full stocked, the waitress was so friendly, even the bar staff was friendly with us because it was slow, due to the weather. Great place to stop!“

“Great restaurant!
Service was kind, friendly, and respectful. Atmosphere-sports themed, casual, hometown vibe.
Food-delicious! We had the wing night bar, and there was a huge variety with plentiful offerings (honey bbq, teriyaki, mild, 7 pepper, honey mustard, lemon pepper, honey garlic, old bay, ranch,, hot-yaki, seasoned, and more)! There were also delicious sides, fried chicken, Salisbury steak, and fried fish on the buffet.
Tea was included in the price.
We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.“

“I had to go to Florence and was craving a homemade burger and this place did not disappoint, cheeseburger combo was delicious!! Nicest staff from the front to the back snd treated me so kindly! I will be back!!“

“Have been now for three breakfast times. Walk in and greeted with Good Morning and smiles where ever I look! My companion has had the veg omelet and other than tomato makes it too soupy, which she removes and eats all of it. I get 3 scrambled eggs with cheese and sausage patties, good to the last bite.
I would recommend all to stop by for a Great way to start your day.“

“I’m not sure what to say. We were on our way back from Florida and my wife saw Shoney’s and wanted to go for the nostalgia. We got here at like 4pm on a Saturday and there was not 1 car in the parking lot. We figured there had to be at least 1 employee with a car or something. The sign said OPEN, but we didn’t know if they were or not. We parked and I went inside to check and believe it or not there was like 5-6 people working in the kitchen. So I told everyone to come inside. Of course we were seated quickly because we were the only ones in the restaurant. But our server was great and very hospitable. The food came out fresh and hot. The food quality was great, even for a 1 sheet double sided menu.

Part way through our dinner my wife noticed a red passenger van roll up to the front door and like 5 people left the kitchen and walked out and got into the van. We don’t know if it was a halfway house or what, but that explains most of the employees not driving. But we still had at least 4 employees and still no cars.

The strangest thing we have ever seen at a restaurant. But honestly the food was good and the service was great. It made for interesting conversation during dinner and the rest of the drive back to NC.“

“I came for the first time on March 7, 2026. My friend and I weren’t sure how everything worked there so we took a seat but didn’t get any service. We decided to try sitting at the bar once a spot became available. The wonderful bar manager, Cal, made the experience amazing! I had my first ever Espresso Martini and it was like love in a glass! Cal was also able to accommodate my friends citrus allergy and she also loved her drink as well. The calamari was great too!“

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

“Food and Wait staff was fantastic. Wish we had Waffle House closer to home 😅🥓🥞“

“The absolute best food I’ve had in a very long time!!! The potato salad is amazing as well as the deviled eggs!!! Wholly smokes!!!!“

“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.“

“I love this place. Beer is consistently good. Some of the best local stuff you can get. Love the tiger king IPA. Food is always awesome. I like finding out which type of egg rolls are on for the day....pizza egg rolls are my fav! The leeroy brown pizza is delicious. Servers seem cool but I usually sit at the bar and can tell you the bartenders are always extremely cool and work fast. You're greeted before you even get sat down most of the time. Beer prices are reasonable and they always have seats cause it's a big bar! Unless of course it's a crazy busy night. It's a local gem!“

“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!“

“awsome food great service“

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

“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.“

“I wanted to let everyone at this Cracker Barrel location that we had a very good experience. Food was good, service was good and personnel good. 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.“

“You really can not go wrong with anything on the menu. The onion rings are amazing. I tend to pick my mom up dinner once a week from here. She absolutely loves their onion rings and steak sandwich. I've been going since I was young and they never, ever disappoint.“

“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“

“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“

“Just GO!!..The food is amazing!..The owner is Too Tier‼️ The restaurant is just so nice and pleasing.Don’t take my word..Did I mention the drinks 🍹!“

“It was good. The bar could have been kept up a little better as the BBQ was low and getting dry and some items, like corn on the cob, were not replenished until we were about ready to go. I liked the fried chicken and the banana pudding was very good. I don't know if I would make the hour or so long trek back to Florence for it though...“

“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!“

“My husband and I always enjoy everything here. They definitely have the best cheesecake in Florence and you can't beat the happy hour drinks! Maddy went above and beyond to take care of us and she wasn't our waitress but noticed we need something and she
stepped right in amazing team work 👏“

“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!!“

“Tanya is the best waitress in the world and she’s also the funniest waitress in the world but best of all Tanya also sounds like Hannah Montana!“

“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.“

“Great service & food every-time!!!“

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

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

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

“Always have good food and great service at the Fitzgerald Huddle House. Friendly and efficient service from Sherry always. Thank you for your service.“

“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 .“

“First this restaurant could improve by honoring the times of operation posted. If your open till 9pm then remain open till 9pm. We arrived at 815pm. Sat at a table got our drinks and menus. When we went to place our order the owner and staff said they closed at 830pm. Umm we were there before 830 as well as you advertised to be open till 9pm. Then very rudely but unprofessional stated we could have our two tea's. This is the second time this has happened to us here. The first time they at least let us know when we walked in. We will never go back! They don't care about business. I ask all my Masonic brothers to boycott this establishment! Also I do believe this establishment is RACIST!!! Read other reviews!!!“

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

“Son wanted to carry me out to eat for father's day. All places in the area were packed including this restaurant. We walked in got a table immediately. Service was outstanding and food was right on time. They are making an effort that I haven't seen in Florence in a while. Good job to the management and staff for the attention to details.“

“Great for hosting large families 20+. Service was top notch for our father’s outing. From the moment we walked in at our reserved time. Did not have to wait for are to be set was ready for us to enter. This is our 2nd time having our father’s monthly outing at Quincey’s. We will definitely be back. Hostess Demetria you were on point, greatly appreciated. Singletary Family 10/25/2025“

“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“

“Today August 22,2026went there to eat and take out food. My experience was awesome. Miss Nikki,Miss Bobbie and the 2 ladies in the back were so kind and helpful to me. I would highly recommend Rogers to everyone,these ladies go above and beyond to help the customers!! Thank you Miss Nikki,Miss Bobbie and the other ladies for making my experience a GREAT time!! I will be back!!!!“

“I was so excited to find one! It was very clean and comfortable atmosphere. The variety and quality was top notch!! Would definitely go again!!!!!“

“Great restaurant great food, and the manger of the Florence location Ny. Thomas was excellent“

“My disabled husband and I came in for lunch today. EVERY employee was so helpful and friendly. This was the cleanest Captain D's we jad ever been in. The food was outstanding. We definitely will return.“

“This place blew us away with the quality of the food. We were down for a day trip to Florence and wanted something other than typical chain restaurant food so we found this place and decided to try it. Best decision ever! Their bbq is banging and their burgers kept the dinner table quite as the whole crew were too busy eating! This is our new place to grab lunch or dinner when in town.“
