After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Wow, REALLY good! Catfish Dinner Plate: excellent fish was…read moretasty and light. Rice was nice. Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

If you're looking for true Southern comfort food, Bazen's in Florence is a must-visit. The buffet…read morewas packed with delicious home-cooked favorites, and everything we tried was fantastic. The fried chicken was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the fried okra had just the right amount of crunch. We also enjoyed biscuits, collard greens, peas, cornbread, and washed it all down with some of the most delicious sweet tea around. And don't even think about skipping dessert because the banana pudding was absolutely worth saving room for! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Their Southern hospitality added even more to the experience. There were plenty of other options on the buffet, but these were the dishes that won us over that day. If you're craving authentic Southern cooking served buffet-style in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Bazen's is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back!

It was put on a bun the size of a hotdog bun, had no flavor, no peppers, I was just a handful of chopped chicken with some cheese on it. They clearly try to fill you up with french fries. Also they put mayonnaise on their Phillies, which I've never heard of. So without that it's dry as a bone. Go to Jersey Mike's if you want a Philly. .

Starfire Grill - Florence, SC…read more Very, very good food. My wife had the vegetable beef soup with Greek potatoes, and I had the Greek salad topped with salmon. The salad was very good, the salmon was nicely prepared, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. We liked the Greek flavors so much that we bought a container of their Greek seasoning mix to take home. Dining out can be challenging for us because I have Alpha Gal syndrome and a tree nut allergy, while my wife has a gluten allergy and is sensitive to dairy. Starfire made things considerably easier by clearly identifying gluten free items on the menu, and our waitress was helpful in working through our dietary restrictions. We were both able to find meals that worked for us without sacrificing the quality of the food. The atmosphere is comfortable and pleasant, although the dining room is showing some age. It has the slightly worn feel of a long established local restaurant, but nothing that detracted from our meal. Good for families, casual dates, and casual business meals. The dining room probably isn't the setting for an important business dinner or special occasion, but for a relaxed meal with genuinely good food, it works very well. We would absolutely return. The fact that we left with a container of their Greek seasoning probably says enough about how much we enjoyed the food.

I ordered the lunch special with two piece dark meat chicken and collards and pasta salad. I must say that it was very good. Chicken fried well and the collards and pasta salad was delicious.

Pleasant, funny, professional, knowledgeable of the food; you would wish she served you everywhere. I had the Shrimp & Grits Bowl with spinach, roasted tomatoes and andouille sausage... they also offer a garlic toast which I think was a thinly sliced ciabatta that was off the hook. Our server informed us it is something that is offered in place of the regular toast. Eddie had the Hash Benedict with grits. Near the end he ordered one of the griddle cakes which to our delight was a little corn mix and super light. Our 10YO had a Mickey Mouse shaped pancake, bacon and sliced banana. It was a very reasonable 5.99. So, what did we get on our way out of town.... Really well seasoned, tasting food for a great price and none of it would have been half as wonderful if it wasn't for the friendly, smiling server!

Zero stars would never recommend! Small space located inside of the TA(Petro) truck stop. I noticed…read morethey had a sign with a deal stating it was a deal they had with steak. (That was a lie) they simple claimed they were advertising they had steak vs an actual special in which they listed a special price. They don't have a combo for the steak special you just have to order a regular steak meal. Most items are À la cart. You come in and seat yourself. Staff was busy complaining about the steak "special". My server actually was the same boy one with a bit of manners as she stated "please don't say that out loud things like that reflects my tips" and yes she was right about that. But let's get to the real part of this review. The food was nasty! Lacked flavor as wel as not cooked as asked. Clearly they did not clean their grill or even keep an area clean as you can see on the hash browns as well as the pancakes just flat out burnt with char on them. Yet to actually serve burnt pancakes is wild but even more to flip it over so I won't see that it's burnt is even wilder! As well as I asked for extra seasoning on my steak it basically had no seasoning. I almost had to send the whole plate back but in the mist of about to do so a woman cook(had locs) was boldly speaking about this is a truck stop not a real restaurant. Which was unpleasant yet unprofessional for a Job she chose to do. Just know based off this TA experience TA/PETRO will never get any money out of me via food. This was the worse meal I had all year honestly. The best thing I had on the plate was the eggs. I literally took my food and left it low-key went in the trash once I did leave. Management needs to review/retrain their staff of how customer service works.
