It's in a cute building with a porch and a large outdoor seating patio area. The service was so friendly. It took my family and I ages to decide what we wanted, and they were so nice about it. The menu is a mix of Hawaiian bbq style dishes, which is a lot like regular American bbq with various Hawaiian inspired sauces. I loved chicken katsu. Each of the portions is generously sized with awesome side options like macaroni salad or fries. I'd love to go back!

And a salad bar which does have a sneeze guard but is still located on a busy hallway in a hospital. I couldn't do the salad bar, but you may feel differently. My turkey wrap was pretty good, well stuffed with turkey and spinach and pepper jack cheese. Quite filling and reasonably priced. If you're not wanting to hit up the actual hospital cafeteria and you don't want to leave the hospital, you won't to better than East Bay.

One bite of my turkey sandwich and I had to spit it out. The turkey tasted spoiled. Others tried my sandwich and agreed. My aunt got the Reuben and couldn't eat hers. My grandmother and mom split the chicken wrap and could barely choke it down. It was too pricey for the garbage we were served.

My wife enjoyed her lunch special, (as usual she ate too many chips and wasn't very hungry for her meal!! lol) But she enjoyed what she did eat. The ceviche was really really good, one of the best I have had in Florence. Nueva Villa (imo) in Hartsville still has the best. The Special Nachos were good but I will be honest there was too much refried beans for my liking (but that doesn't make it bad for someone else who likes that). I could eat my shoes with the cheese sauce it was sooo good. The meat? ... Ok, I don't know how to describe it, the texture was off. Like the bagged kind you get in Taco Bell items maybe? The taste wasn't bad, it was just unusual. It was different than I expected. All that being said, remember taste is extremely subjective so someone else may not have the same opinion. The service was excellent and our waiter was attentive. I would definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try. I would go back, for the ceviche alone, but I am open to try other items on their menu.

This is very unfortunate because I truly love McAlister's and the employees at this one are nice people but the food is getting to the point of walking . I pay extra for the extra chicken and lately I have been getting less chicken then you would normally receive . This is 2 of the last three salads we ordered the other day . Paid for and was charged for extra chicken . The last 4 times this has happened and it is not like I can turn around and go back while on a lunch break . I have been giving the benefit of the doubt but unless something changes I can not keep supporting one of my favorite places to eat .

**A Comfortable Visit to Panera Bread - Florence, SC**…read more 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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
