43 Best American Restaurants in Florence

“Town Hall is our favorite restaurant. We always celebrate our anniversary there and it's always the best food we eat all year. The Chef is brilliant and the food amazing! Service doesn't disappoint either. This year we had Lara as our waitress and she's definitely our favorite staff member thus far! Thank you Lara for making sure our special evening was absolute perfection 🩷“

“Got the best omelettes around order bout 2 or 3 times a week definitely get your money worth!“

“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.“

“Mimi was awesome!!!! My family and I have eaten at this location often, and I have to say this was the best service experience we have had at this location. Mimi was so engaging and made sure we wanted for nothing. She has obviously been doing this for a while Love her!!! We will be back soon!!!“

“Great food, fun atmosphere, wonderful place to take a sports team after a game!
Update: We ordered a fried turkey for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! Family commented on the juiciness, flavor, and size of the bird. I hope they're selling these for years to come, because we will be repeat customers!“

“We stopped here at Shoney's on the way home from Virginia, it was easy access to leave the highway and get back on. We usually do the breakfast buffet but opted to just order off the menu. The food was hot and very tasty. I would reorder it again. Tho the wait time on our food was a bit long.“

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

“This place has been around for years and years! Always family owned and operated. Great people and a great staff. They serve all kinds of food every day. They have a lunch menu which changes every day and also the standard all day every day menu.“

“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 found this place over 5 years ago on a whim and make a point to drive the 2.5 hours to eat here. All the food is amazing! The grits are to die for. Homemade tartar sauce, fresh fish (obviously supporting local hookers). My favorite is the hush puppies with lime butter! The hopping John has a sweetness to it that is different but very delicious. Will come back every chance I get!“

“My daughter and I recently stopped by Dash-N-Dogz to try the chicken salad everyone in town has been raving about and it absolutely lived up to the hype! It was so good. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“We went for Restaurant Week menu.....our table of four enjoyed our dinner.....deviled egg appetizer was great. Our salads were fresh and delicious. We all had the swordfish which was perfectly prepared. Service was impeccable and patient with orders especially the martini“

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

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

“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!

“Always consistent. Best staff and management in the area. BBQ is fresh and well seasoned. Saturday and Sunday brunch is the best in the area. Number one happy hour in Florence. Cold drinks and good food in a great family friendly environment.“

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

“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!“

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

“awsome food great service“

“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, 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“

“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.“

“Stopped in to try a few of the local brews, large bar and dining area (also an outside dining area)...a few TV's at the bar as well as one projection screen. Tried the Light, Golden Ale and Pilsner and they all tasted pretty similar and while not the best they were certainly drinkable. Prices were reasonable for a brew pub, didn't try the food but it looked good.“

“We LOVE the food but our order is wrong about half the time. Tonight it was ordering a large bacon DOUBLE cheeseburger box with all fries and onion rings mixed and we received a large SINGLE patty bacon cheeseburger box with salad. My son was disappointed 😞. We have been customers for decades. Wish the orders were right more often. Delicious food.“

“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“

“Delicious breakfast !!!!!!!!!“

“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!“

“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 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!!“

“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.“

“Mr. Rob and his crew weee amazing. They were all so friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious. The village salad was amazing. The kabobs and the Broccoli cornbread were incredible. Amazing food and family an atmosphere! Go! ! You will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!!!“

“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“
