36 Best American Restaurants in Florence

“Gabi was very friendly. She did a good job of taking care of the seven people in our party. She took orders for drink refills without being asked. She also provided takeout boxes, very quickly. One of the best we've had, in several weeks at area restaurants!Kid-friendliness: Good.“

“Sean was awesome!!!!“

“We love this place! Brought my 10 month old doodle and sat on the patio.id give 4-5 stars for food except this time.. everything was wrong. 1) tots ordered with sour cream OTS and it came on top. We didn’t send it back but asked for another as ordered. 2) Rise N Shine burger came out without the egg. That’s the point of the Rise N Shine burger. 3) another burger ordered medium but was well done. 4) sweet potato fries ordered without salt (for the dog) but came with salt. We did not send any of that back and told them not to worry about bringing an egg.. we just wanted them to know there’s a problem. The server apologized and felt bad.. we’ve ALL worked in the industry. We weren’t jerks at all. With ALL of these problems, no manager came over. They sent out an egg (burger was half gone by now and we told them not to). We didn’t ask for anything to be comped… although SOME BREAK on the bill.. at least the 2nd tots they had to remake..would have been appropriate.. but nothing. Well give them another chance because it is good when the order is right but a little disappointed in the non action when so much was wrong!!“

“Only three locations left! No one makes sandwiches like Izzy's. Greatly expanded menus. Original potato pancakes and kosher pickles make a huge meal with the fresh pastrami and corned beef. Outdoor seating for warmer weather away from traffic with secure railing. Ample parking and drive-through also. Great carrot cake. Staff personable and obviously enjoyed working together. Very clean. Abby was an excellent server. You cannot leave hungry.“

“The family and I decided to go here and try them out. We wanted some good food that is something that we can't get back at home. We tried Ford's Garage on the recommendation of the hotel staff. We had the Ford's Signature Burger with Truffle Fries, high-octane burger with onion rings, kid's cheeseburger with fries, kids chicken sandwich with fruit, and grilled cheese with fries. The sandwiches were great with service to match. Our server was friendly, engaging, and courteous to our whole family.The restaurant is clean and very nicely setup and decorated. Loved the cars in it. Only issue we had were that the truffle fries had a very strong garlic flavor to them. Other than that, everything was great. We would definitely visit again. Additionally they honor military and former military with a military discount.“

“The portions were huge. Melinda is an amazing server. She anticipated our needs--we didn't even have to ask. The food was fabulous. It was the most pleasant experience we've ever had. Texas Roadhouse has always been a great experience but this one topped them all.“

“First time ever at a Raffertys!When I'm back home in the Cincinnati area, I eat all the mid-west beef I can because florida restaurant beef SUX!!Prme Rib, rare, was outstanding. Damn near as good as the Gatehouse Taverne which no longer exists. Bar service was great, Shelly took very good care of me even though I don't drink alcohol. It was also nice talking it up with the locals, two older ladies that come every Friday, They even said, get the Prime, it taste like the old Gatehouse Taverne. I also informed them that I used to manage the Drawbridge Inn, instant friendship.“

“Been coming here for years. It had went down hill. New management seems to have picked it up. Burgers are always good. Could use a little more seasoning on them. That Goliath is my favorite. Grilled cheese and burgers! It screams america. Inside isnt bad but could use some updates. It's always clean.“

“I've never had a bad meal at this place. The food is always good and the service is exceptional. Considering this is a chain restaurant, it blows my mond how good their steaks can be. I've had a better steak here than what I've had at Walt's or Ruby's, I kid you not. Every time I eat here, it is consistently good, the food is fresh and well prepared.“

“Very good service and good food“

“Tonight was our first visit, and we'll definitely be back soon. I had 3 piece tilapia dinner, with fries. It was delicious! The fish was tasty, and I believe it's way too easy to make it with breading falling off, or too friggin crispy to chew, but this was just right, not greasy. The fries were crispy and good. Highly recommended.“

“Stopped at this restaurant a few times, ate there again Saturday and was blown away. Quick service, delicious food and relaxed atmosphere. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was hot and fresh and didn't feel like we were in a hurry. Already can't wait to go back!“

“I absolutely love this bar. Me and my wife have been coming here for a couple of years. Food is amazing. The owners treat everyone with courtesy and respect. There is usually a band every Saturday night. We love this bar!!Parking: Free parking on site“

“I tried the smoked wings at City BBQ and they were outstanding! However, I have to admit, I was hoping for a bit more smokiness in the overall meat flavor—it was pretty mild. The brisket? Well, let's just say it leaned more towards Sunday pot roast vibes. On the bright side, City BBQ's commitment to the community is commendable! They offer nonprofits a chance to raise funds by donating 20% of sales on designated days. Now that's some tasty philanthropy!“

“Food was tasty but not hot. They brought out the wrong dish. Set it in front of us. Came back a few minutes later and we told them they gave us the wrong dish. Watched them take it back to the kitchen where they looked to see what table it should go to. They then took that dish and served it to another customer. Be careful your food might have been in front of another customer before it gets to you. That’s a health code violation, wonder what else they are doing to save a buck“

“Lunas has a full menu, lots to choose from. My picky daughter found several things that she could order. I had the birria tacos. Delicious. The place wasn't that crowded at lunch time. Maybe because it is tucked away.! Would definitely recommend.“

“They have a large number of well taken care of tables. Prices are good. Pool is $5 per person per hour. Beer prices are not bad. Atmosphere is good. Under 21 till 9pm. Took some family for a Saturday evening and everyone enjoyed themselves.“

“Shannon was my server and she was so kind! From the moment we sat down she was an absolute ray of sunshine interacting with all of the other tables and was just truly happy to see people enjoying themselves. So lovely, honestly. The fresh fruit was also spot on very delicious ripe strawberries. Always feels like such a blessing to be able to have your choice of all of it. Will be back at some point and hope to see Miss Shannon again.“

“Can't beat it for the price.I asked how the sausage gravy was. Our waitress assured me that you couldn't go wrong with it. Tasted like Bob Evans Pepper Gravy to me. I ate it. French toast was nothing special. Breakfast was just okay. I was impressed that plate covers were used in a bar atmosphere but the WOW factor stopped there.Restaurant was very clean so there's that.The ladies bathroom light didn't work lol.“

“We went for anniversary!! I had never been there before but I love seafood We was pleasantly surprised by the menu and prices, affordable and delicious .... But I have to say our server Paul and his wife was extremely gracious!! They made the experience a very meaningful and memorable. “

“I am going to give it a five based on what I expected and received. Quick, great service in drive thru today at 2:40ish pm. Very courteous, quick, asked if I needed ketchup. Handed out great hot and tasty double cheese double burger and regular fries also hot and tasty. Place is always nice and clean when we go in after volleyball on weekends down the street. My meal was just over $5.50 with tax. Great value.“

“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“

“Decided to go to Barleycorns as the weather was great and they have a patio. Service was spot on from the moment we arrived. Decided to try something from the Lent menu and had the salmon. I was a little leery because the price was low. However, the quality was not and the dish was outstanding! Felt like I got a great value for my money. My son had the wings- doc style. I had to have one because they were so big. Really delicious, except he didn't get the Blue Cheese! Will definitely go back“

“We come here once a week almost and lived here since 2007. This Waffle House is the best. Ms Tina is an amazing waitress and is so kind even when the place is super busy. Food is always amazing. Place is always clean. And they play great music.“

“Always a fine dining experience at this Skyline!!! Today the service was especially outstanding!! Did not get this young girls name but left her a bigger tip than I usually give. She was a perfect at serving!! Thank you!!! TroyParking: Easy in, easy out!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access.“

“My family had another delicious experience at the Florence, KY, Cracker Barrel! Wonderful service, great food, and an enjoyable time spent together. I used the app to check us in as we walked from the parking lot, and we were seated in five minutes. Special shout out to the staff for always being courteous and hospitable to every guest - you make a huge difference.Parking: Extra parking available just past the hotel beside the restaurant and within easy walking distance.“

“Food and service were great. I'm disappointed that the owner fails to keep things like heat and bathrooms properly maintained though. It would be great if the heat worked for those choosing to dine in and if owner would hire someone to wash the windows and make needed repairs in restrooms.The food is excellent and the staff friendly, attentive and prompt to serve.“

“Took a few minutes before we were served, BUT when Matt got to us he apologized for the wait & did a GREAT job. Orders were correct, got to us quick, kept drinks full, & followed up a couple times. Polite & friendly. New manager also checked in. Ribs were tender & didn't need sauce to compensate for anything. Sides were good. Restaurant was very clean. Nothing to complain about here. I will go back & do recommend.“

“I eat Penn Station about once a week.This location is by far the best. The employees are fast, courteous, and made the best club dub I’ve ever had.Zyleasha took care of my order and I’m very impressed. Not sure if she’s the manager, but she should be.I’ll be back for sure!“

“Stopped off while driving home and glad we did. Gotta get the wings but we really enjoyed the deep fried pickles. Our waitress was great and if we pass through again we will be stopping in. Also they have tons of TVs with lots of different games on incase you are local looking for a great spots watching venue.“

“Due to Celiac, I’m always picky about where I can eat. Red Robin is always a good choice. I always rely on their website to navigate their menu. While sad to learn today that their bacon is not gluten free, not are their delicious fries, our server Mallory certainly made our visit amazing. She was very friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate us having a sleepy toddler and dietary restrictions. If I were local, she’d be my regular server.Dietary restrictions: Celiac and dairy free.“

“This is the best damn chicken you can get anywhere in our opinion! Always perfect, always consistent! We lived in Florence for 6 months 2022-2023... we have been gone almost a year now, and I swear we talk about Lee's chicken at least once a week! We miss it! Do yourself a favor don't pass this one by! If you happen to be headed down to Nashville, grab us some we'd greatly appreciate it! LOL“

“Taylor at the bar was amazing!!! She made sure we were 110% taken care of from the minute we got there until the end of her shift. She is such a fantastic team member. Also special shoutouts to Bryce, Madison, and Haley! (sorry if I spelt anyone’s name wrong) The customer service really makes or breaks an experience like this and the employees we interacted with went above and beyond for us.“

“My lady had never tried a butter burger. We hit the drive through late one night. Very little waiting with cars in front of us. Food was hot and fresh. The staff were efficient and polite. I've never had a bad experience at any Culver's and the food is always great.“

“We went to celebrate a birthday, a 2-year-old girl spilled a glass of swet tea on the table and the waitress was very rude, she did not want to clean up, she started talking to us very beaten, we had to ask another waitress because she treated us very badly and still mocked us“

“My fiancé and I decided to try out Waffle House for the first time after a horrible long night in the hospitals ER. We were exhausted and hungry. Mike and Savannah were just amazing, they instantly brightened our moods after such a difficult night. Mike helped us choose what to get because it was our first time, he was an awesome guy, and checked back in regularly to make sure we were taken care of. I was also shocked at how quickly our food was prepared, overall we loved our food, loved the friendly service, and will definitely be coming back for more!“
