Chicken tenders
Jen D.

The cheese curds were good. The burger was super greasy and underwhelming, but not terrible. The fries are crispy, but bland. The chicken tenders are possibly worse than the ones that come in a tv dinner. The service was great- wouldn't change a thing there. She took a soda off (I didn't ask for anything, just expressed that the chicken strips weren't great) to make up for the little disappointment. It's nice sitting outside and there was a cute little family of baby birds in a nest near our table that offered some free entertainment. I'd just say, mostly unless they change their chicken tenders, I'd avoid them. Otherwise not a bad stop.

Fried chicken with squash. You should also try the chowder.

We had a great dinner at Clawson's, which generally serves American diner fare. Our server took our entire order by memory and nailed it. He was able to achieve the balance of attentive without being overbearing. Genuine. Although my whole party chose breakfast for dinner, I got the fried chicken with vegetables. Those squash were really good. The chicken rivaled the best fried I've had in Kentucky. I'd totally come again!

The worst. Lasr Sunday morning 11 am. Here for brunch. Service. 1 star. Started out casual/friendly but no follow through. No offer to refill our coffee. Not even once. Ambience. 1 star. For the nicely framed American flag. No curtains. All hard surfaces. Very loud as diners chatted and sound bounced off hard floors, walls, pictures... absolutely no piece of fabric in the whole room. The place is split into two rooms, we were on the left side. We started out on the right side but it was so loud with a woman at the next table that we moved. Either side is very loud. Wait time. 0 stars. Incredibly long wait. Food. 0 stars. Piss poor quality frozen and/or boxed food heated and plated. Eggs from a carton, from the looks of it. Bread products of the lowest grade. Hash browns frozen, heated. Bacon low quality. Coffee, low grade. Thanks. 20 bucks down the drain and we immediately felt ill shortly after. And hungry. We had been staying at the casino hotel and didn't know how good we had it!

Menu

First off, all of the food is homemade so it was already super good. The gravy was fantastic and the biscuits were really big and some of the best biscuits I've ever had. My dad got the ham and cheese omelette and he said the ham to cheese ratio was perfect. The service was amazing they always made sure we had what we needed even though the restaurant was full. Also the ambiance was a nice comforting place where you everyone was really nice.

A group post on Facebook about a breakfast special here that includes fluffy blueberry pancakes…read moredrew me to Florence on a rainy weekend morning. I followed another couple in and overheard another table expressing the regret that they had not spent more time so they could eat here again... not too bad for overheard customers reviews. The table behind me ordered a crab and crusted halibut with a side of linguine that you can order it with Alfredo, marinara, or sausage sauce. Next time. I was here for the breakfast special which includes fluffy pancakes, bacon and eggs and fresh fruit...but on another day I would need to try the brisket Benedict. Chef Mari, the Bulgarian name sake of the kitchen, smokes the brisket in house. Breakfast is served all day; they are only closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. I decided to order a virgin Loaded Bloody Mary (they also have a Bloody Maria which is tequila). Sarah the server was the bartender and knew what she was doing. Bloody Virgin Mary came with steaming hot shrimp and just made bacon. Holy mother of God. Spiced with solid, well-deserved tangy kick...to off set the heat. Absolutely beautiful. The pancakes were incredible and lavishly covered with a rich blueberry compote that was thankfully not too sweet. The bacon was thick but not too thick and just salty in just the best way. Very excited about coming back for the other dishes that I saw being served. That's a good sign. Then Mari came out from the kitchen to say hello to some of us. Wonderful.

From the…read moremoment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed, with that perfect coastal Hawaiian fusion vibe that just fits so well. The food was outstanding across the board. The kids' fish and chips were a pleasant surprise--made with real rockfish, which you don't always see on a kids' menu, and it was done perfectly. Emma loved her sushi roll, and LaRue's shrimp sliders were packed with flavor and cooked just right. I went with the panko fried prawns along with the Hawaiian pulled pork, and both were absolutely excellent--crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. Even the appetizer set the tone for the meal--it was clear right away that they care about quality. What really stood out, though, was the combination of great food and great service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable without being overbearing. Overall, this was one of those meals where everything just clicked--food, service, and atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, and it's an easy recommendation for anyone looking for something a little different with really solid execution.

The attitudes are positive. This restaurant feels like a good time. The prices have gone up. I blame the economic conditions rather than the owners themselves. The food sometimes I feel like the sauce is too much or the food is too sweet or too salty. I don't feel that the food is super consistent every time I go. I love supporting local business owners. I love the story of the restaurant how it started as a food truck. I just wish the food was more consistent when you order.

The caprese was great alongside-- I was already full and still housed the house made focaccia and pesto, truly so incredible. for our main we split the cajun salmon with pico de gallo, mashed potatoes, and side caesar salad. delicious!!! I don't even really like caesar salad that much, and theirs is top notch. they split our plate for an extra $3 and it was plenty after appetizers. lastly, interiors: our table was perfect. they sat us right by the window on the water for sunset.

You know what you're paying for, the view.....unless you're willing to pay even more; most likely the food will suck and the service will be bad because your waiter is crazy busy. Positives: -the prices were very reasonable and affordable. We got a lot of great tasting seafood and finished everything we had. The seafood boil was great. The stuffed mushrooms were amazing too. -service was great, our waitress was very honest giving us her honest opinion on what we should order. She recommended we share too instead of trying to sell us an additional dish. -ambiance, sitting outdoors on a waterfront you can't beat that. Overall 5/5 I honestly loved my experience so much that I'm ready to leave California behind. California is overrated, that's my honest opinion being a California native of almost 40 years. I used to love it and think that I would never want to leave. I can't say that anymore, especially recently.
