- DDavidOrlando / Central Florida East •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe were traveling on the day of our anniversary and I was concerned we might end up celebrating it at Cracker Barrel. Who knew this gem existed in Florence, SC? From the very beginning the experience, the service, the food were all outstanding. We were greeted with a sign and a signed card congratulating us on our anniversary and given a complementary glass of champagne. The food was unique and delicious. The local pea based hummus was delicious and I had a hanger steak, a unique menu item to be sure, which was fantastic, as was my wife's salmon. A great anniversary celebration from start to finish - I'm just sorry we don't live in Florence to visit more often.More infoTown Hall - FlorencePrice: Moderate• American• Florence•4.7
