    The Benny: Black Forest ham, scrambled egg, salt and pepper, with cheesy benedict sauce on an all-butter croissant. Delicious.
    Alan Y.

    **A Comfortable Visit to Panera Bread - Florence, SC** I stopped by the Panera Bread on David H McLeod Boulevard recently for a quiet breakfast, and while the experience had its charms, there's certainly room for this location to shine a bit brighter. I ordered the Ham Croissant Benny - Black Forest ham with scrambled egg and cheesy benedict sauce nestled in a flaky, buttery croissant. The flavors melded. That croissant had good texture, and the benedict sauce added a nice richness. My only small disappointment was that it could have benefited from a bit more time on the sandwich press - the center was a touch cool when I bit in. Still, the taste was there, and I enjoyed every bite. The Bold coffee was... well, coffee. It did its job and paired nicely with breakfast, though I wouldn't call it particularly memorable. Sometimes that's just fine when you need a reliable cup. What I appreciated most was the relaxed atmosphere. This is an older Panera location, and it shows its age a bit - the space could use some freshening up here and there. But honestly? The quieter pace was a blessing. I never felt hurried, and I was able to spread out some paperwork and take my time without feeling like I was overstaying my welcome. There's something to be said for that kind of comfortable, unhurried dining experience. I've always loved Panera's aesthetic - that inviting combination of stone and wood creates such a warm environment. This Florence location has good bones and that classic Panera feel. With a little TLC, it could really be something special again. The bottom line: If you're looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy a decent breakfast without the hustle and bustle, this Panera fits the bill. Just maybe double-check that your sandwich is heated through before you settle in.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Had 2 half sandwiches A small apple and a small bag of chips and 3 soups. Potato soup Chicken noodle and Creamy chicken and rice soup. The chicken noodle was Salty and was mostly broth. A small soup is about $7!!! Overpriced in my opinion. Spent $34

    Bread station behind counter seems dirty

    No customer service when I went in the morning. Waited and no customer service to take my order. Also not sufficiently clean. I definitely do not recommend this Panera location.

    Walked to the register and there is a full page of items they are out of. Over half the menu. Ordered anyway. Go into the dining room and it's filthy. Food on the floors, everywhere. Several unwashed tables. Place was near empty and two employees were just sitting around doing nothing. We canceled our order and left. Gross and no food choices? No thank you.

    Dishes piled up while workers stand around doing absolutely.  Very sad

    Sandwhich was not filling, and expensive prices on all food items. I did enjoy their Chili, but not worth the money you spend there,

    Julia Belle's in Florence, SC is perfect casual Southern dining--clean, no-frills, and welcoming…read more The food is consistently good, with generous portions and real home-cooked flavor. Start with the crispy fried green tomatoes--they're a must. Pair them with the creamy cheese grits. And the Mayberry pulled pork sandwich? Juicy, smoky, and piled high on a fresh bun--total winner. Great value, friendly counter service, and spotless every time. I'll be back. 5 stars.

    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!

    Mixed opinions here, some things liked others didn't. Start with it's namesake the smoothie, ours…read morewas the Sunrise Sunset, to me it was ok but I've had better. It tasted more watery and less creamy but we didn't add any of those add on or supplements so it's hard to say if those give it the desired flavor. For just the basic Joe Blow person off street it wasn't that memorable, the portion I did think was large so I does reflect price well. For food we got Buffalo chicken & Caribbean jerk wrap respectively. The Buffalo wrap was good, spicy enough, and filled me up despite the portion not looking like much. The Caribbean wrap was in name only, rice, beans, and a Caribbean sauce w plain chicken but for Tropical Smoothie standards it's probably alright. There is one table w chairs inside but it's for waiting not eating inside. This seems to be popular, lots of people walking in for smoothies only. For me it's not some place I'm gonna run back to, if I'm in the area I might do it again.
