We pulled into the restaurant at 6 am to dark and after parking for about 10 min. Drive to the back of the restaurant to ask someone sitting in a car if the restaurant was open. They stated, yeah-6 am. Then noticed it was going on 6:15 am and threw out there...or whenever Pat shows up..any minute now. It was slow going through the whole process but everyone was friendly and the food was good. My husband had the pancakes and sausage. He said it was good-pretty hard to screw up pancakes. I had an everything omelette that was tasty. I had the biscuits and gravy for my toast selection. The biscuits were light and fluffy and the gravy ok. I probably should of added a pinch of salt. This is a small town and you can tell this a a local favorite. We were passing through but I would stop off again if I. The area.

We live about 7 miles from The Shoals Shack and decided to try it out. The person that took our order was very nice and recommended a few choices which was spot on! I had the Shoals burger and onion rings and my husband had the Shack Attack with fries. We also ordered the pecan pie bread pudding. We were both blown away! The burgers were so good and the onion rings were perfectly crispy! The place was very clean and the staff were friendly. I absolutely recommend this place!

Shoals Shack was my personal choice, and I think I out bought the rest of our crew compared to the restaurant they chose. ;) it was so good! This is a small building on the outskirts of Florence. There's a little parking lot but it's carryout only. I was able to place my order online about 20 minutes before we got there. It was easy and you can even make modifications to your order, which is great! The website said my food wouldn't be ready till 1:45 (I think I ordered ~1:15 or so) but we pulled up at about 1:35 and it was waiting for me! I walked right up to the window and a friendly employee asked if I had an online order. I agreed and confirmed my name and the food was mine! Easy peasy and it was still super hot and not at all soggy. I ordered the Bella burger, which is a burger with mushrooms, Swiss, garlic mayo, and fried onion strings, though I asked for no onion strings on mine. I got a side of French fries and a cup of ranch for dipping. My order was made correctly. The fries were pretty basic but good -- hot, crispy, adequately salted. The ranch was delicious ranch and perfect for dipping. Unfortunately one of my fries did have a small, straight, dark hair attached to it. I'm not wildly squeamish about these sorts of things and it was sort of sitting by itself not touching other fries anyway, so I just chunked it and went about my business. This is really my only complaint for the whole experience. That burger...wow. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked, juicy, a little unctuous but not too much. Soft bun, not soggy, right amount of melt on the cheese, meaty mushrooms in the perfect proportion. And lastly, the garlic mayo really pulled it all together. It was creamy, not overly garlicky, and spread just enough to get a little bit in every bite. I will be hard-pressed not to return here when I'm next in the area. Truly, an awesome burger! I'd be curious to try their other menu items like chicken sandwiches or tacos as well. Thanks, Shoals Shack!
