We were in the area and decided to try Ruth's Drive In. I was expecting a bright green building,…read moreand was surprised by a demure off white building, we nearly passed it. My husband and I got out of our car and were met with an employee who pleasantly asked us to move to the other side of the building, so she can serve us better. This employee didn't give us her name, but she gave us a menu and explained the Big Hot and Little Hot, she wore a mask the whole time. Due to Covid, they were not seating indoors, she would deliver our food to the vehicle. One young man pulled up beside us on a bicycle and he, too waited outside, while his beverage was made and delivered to him (see photo). She also remarked that this restaurant has been in business for 75 years and they sell 100 lbs. of hamburgers daily. I ordered a half Doc Hot and my husband ordered a full Doc Hot. Our bag was brought out to the vehicle and we left, not wanting to eat in our vehicle. We had a 25 minute drive back to where we were staying and we opened our bag to find our food relatively still warm enough to eat without needing to microwave. My Half Hot was 5 oz. burger on one slice bread, coated with carmelized onions and gravy. My French Fries were still warm enough to enjoy and coated with gravy. Both items were delicious, although after eating our meal, I did note that I had a strong salty flavor in my mouth. I hadn't noticed any greasiness to the burger at all. My husbands order was exactly the same, except he ordered a Big Hot, he received exactly the same as mine but with two burger patties. He didn't receive the two slices of bread he was told he would. All in all this was a nice, nostalgic place to dine at and the food is inexpensive and good. If you're on a salt restricted diet, I would not recommend. The food did not taste overtly salty at the time we were eating, but it was noted on my tongue after the fact. We enjoyed our meals and will go back.

Hey Yelp Fam! Hey…read morey'all, I'm back with another review, and this time we're in Florence, South Carolina. We were out and about and wanted to try a new place to eat. My sister mentioned that she came across a spot on TikTok that everyone was talking about--apparently, they serve huge portions of seafood at a reasonable price. Honestly, there wasn't much convincing needed. She had me at seafood, big portions, and affordable prices, so I was like, let's go. When we got there, the parking lot was pretty full, so we expected a bit of a wait once we went inside. They do have a drive-thru, but since this was our first time and we weren't exactly sure what we wanted to order, we decided to go inside instead. For it being our first visit, we ordered quite a few things: shrimp platters, a hamburger just to try it out, and even a couple of hot dogs. When the food came out, they weren't kidding about the huge portions. You get a lot of food--served in what looks like a medium-sized pizza box, overflowing and a bit greasy. But the food was good. I really enjoyed the shrimp and fries, and the hushpuppies, fried okra were good too. I didn't care too much for the hot dogs or the hamburger, or salad, the bake potato. The grill shrimp was ok but to be fair, when I go to a seafood place, I usually stick to seafood. When I post the photos, you'll see just how much food they give you. Overall, the food was good and the service was solid. Would I go back? Probably. I'd likely check out a few other seafood spots in the area just to compare, but if I couldn't find another option, I'd definitely come back here and order the shrimp platter again.

We had a party of 20 for dinner at Peddlers. The food was exceptionable, but the cocktails, not so…read moremuch. What REALLY ruined it for us was the very poor service. When we arrived, the hostess gave us a half-hearted greeting and pointed us to our dining room instead of escorting us. The waitress was cold, never smiled nor did she introduce herself. For the most part, the men were on one side of the table with the women were on the opposite side. The waitress started taking the orders of the men before the women. The food came out in a reasonable time and we all enjoyed our meals. Once we paid our checks the waitress disappeared. There was no "goodbye and thanks for dining with us" along with an invitation to return, and we won't. I hate to go there but the entire service experience wreaked of discrimination, because that atmosphere did not extend to the rest of restaurant patrons which were mostly Caucasian. My husband and I were visiting from Georgia, but our family lives in and around Florence, SC. Needless to say that's 18 other people that will not return and will likely share their poor experience w/others. In case you were unaware, word-of-mouth advertising is worth its weight and gold for a restaurant.

Our waitress social skills were zero out of ten, despite the table beside us she talked up. This sort of poor customer service drops score quickly even if food is great, but the food was also blab. All these negatives, and got stuck w a wobbly table, facepalm. This was a birthday meal so tried make most of it. Order was lobster bisque, half; miniscule lobster pieces; oysters Rockefeller more spinach & cheese than oyster. Petite filet w mushrooms and salad. The salad bar wasn't bad and the mushrooms were quite good, but my filet mignon was way salty. I did also have Southern Gentleman bourbon that was tasty. One comes to Peddler for steak & mine was disappointing compounded by horrible waitressing. Leaves bad taste in mouth prolly won't return.

If you're looking for a true country diner experience done right, **Cafe My Place** is absolutely…read moreworth the drive. There's plenty of free parking right out front, and when you step inside you'll find a spacious, welcoming dining room that immediately feels comfortable and unpretentious. You can order from the regular menu, and they also offer daily and weekly specials that give you plenty of reasons to keep coming back. I went with the cheeseburger and crinkle-cut fries, and it hit exactly the way a great diner burger should. The burger is hand-formed and made in-house, juicy and well-seasoned, with that classic homemade taste you just don't get everywhere anymore. The crinkle-cut fries were hot, crisp, and familiar in the best way. One thing that really stood out is the variety of fry options. They don't just stop at one style -- you can choose from multiple types, including their "raw fries," which are basically thin, crispy potato chips made fresh. It's a small touch, but it shows they care about giving people choices and doing things a little differently. Beyond burgers, the menu covers wings, seafood options, and all the comfort food you'd expect from a classic American diner out in the country. On weekends, they also offer a Saturday morning breakfast buffet and a Sunday buffet, making it an easy place to come hungry and leave satisfied. Cafe My Place isn't trying to be flashy or trendy. It's good food, good portions, friendly service, and a relaxed small-town atmosphere -- the kind of place you'll want to return to and bring friends with you next time.
