We were greeted…read moreby the staff as we entered and were told to sit ourselves wherever we wanted and someone would be right with us. Our server was friendly and efficient despite the crowd. She quickly took our orders, bought us coffee and our food only took a few minutes. This was my first time having the pork chops and they were delicious- a must try. My mom had the corned beef with extra onions, scrambled eggs, grits and toast. We usually always get the pancakes which are very good, but decided to switch it up. We have been coming there for years and the restaurant is always inviting and welcoming. If you're in Florence and never been there try them out you won't be disappointed. You will be full and happy. Even though we usually have breakfast there, their all day menu is good overall and ask for the daily specials.

Price: very reasonable and big portions Food: We had the Zion grit bowl, the lil Jax combo and an omelet with eggs n grits.

Our total was just over $50 and slightly higher than I would have said was a good value. The French toast was good, the cinnamon added after was a nice variation, the pictures show berries but it only comes plain. My children's eggs were a little runny, making them inedible for them cause they're picky, but I thought it was fine. My husband loved his omelet. The homes fries were the best part for sure, hot and seasoned and plentiful. The AC seems to be having some condensation issues and left water on the floor. Our server was sweet and friendly. Food was out quick as well. We also got to meet the owner and she was great. Love seeing people involved in their businesses.

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!

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.

(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.
