College Staple - Late Night Gold…read more There's just something about a college town spot like this. After a night out, you end up at Chicago Cafe like it was meant to happen. This food is excellent and honestly one of a kind for what it is. Prices are dirt cheap, but the quality is way better than you'd expect. If you go, get the classic sweet heat dog, the meat lovers pizza with ranch, and a Pepsi Zero. That combo doesn't miss. It's the perfect place for lunch, a midnight snack, or just hanging with friends. Seating is limited, but you can usually find a spot. Overall: 5/5 this place has my heart.

Drinks were ordered and it was nice to see non-alcoholic beers on offer. We got one of those and one local draft. For dinner, Mrs. K. selected the veggiewich and I chose a Dapper Dog. Real pub grub stuff here and it was fabulous. My "loaded" chips included cheese and banana peppers. It was all delicious and a special credit for an actual crunchy pickle! We had a nice time and I can see a return in the future!

Was a bit skeptical at first, they have a limited menu focused on 'hot dogs'; So I ordered the Jalapeño Popper Veggie Dog, .. .. Hit The SPOT. Loaded with sliced jalapeños, and a novel ranch type condiment. Never had a 'dog' like this. Everything comes loaded with their custom 'chips', plastered with chz, onions, & I don't know what.

Very casual, nice folks working hard, and friendly people in line. I sat at a table outside and ate with two new friends I just met. They've got everything in all sizes and combinations, but I'd gain too much weight if I ate here every day. Wonderful.

The chicken was okay and it was tender. Not a place for out-of-towners, like us, because the only seating are dirty picnic tables outside in the heat. No wet wipes to clean up (a necessity for a good BBQ restaurant. I can't recommend but since I didn't eat anywhere else in Florence, I don't know if that's standard for around here.

The inside dining area was very clean. Ice tea is brewed fresh every three hours. The sweet tea was perfect. 40 plus different milkshake flavors. My Granddaughter had a caramel shake. It was delicious. BLT was very good. Bacon dropped to order and cooked perfectly well. The Cajun fries are quite tasty and the Cook Out sauce is delicious to dip fries The young man who took our orders was polite and answered our questions. This is one ofnthe best fast food places I have ever been to. Prices are very reasonable. Easy to get in and out of. Located right off the main highway. Plenty of parking.

My go-to is their chicken salad sandwich with a classic glass bottle of Coca-Cola; where else can you order soda in a glass bottle?? If you visit Trowbridge's then you can't forget the ice cream. They serve it by the scoop, but also have sundaes, shakes, and banana splits if that's your preference. I've tried most of the flavors, but I almost always go back to a cone of the orange pineapple, which has been Trowbridge's signature flavor since they opened. This will be the top lunch recommendation most locals will give to tourists and visitors, and for very good reason. Trowbridge's is a must-try if you've never been!

I had been wanting to try this place and had high hopes. In short... The food is/wise at best…read moremediocre with ridiculously high prices for what you get. I ordered a regular hamburger which came with lettuce, tomato mayonnaise, pickles, onions, mustard, and ketchup, whole mustard, and ketchup. Had it not been for pickles and onions there would've been pretty much no flavor. The tomato was all but missing. It was a very small thin slice completely covered with shredded lettuce and pickles. The burger with fries and Coke, their number one on the menu, came to $9.63 !!! Leave Jack's small burger comes with pretty much the same toppings for a couple dollars less if you're comparing just burger prices. Burger Depot drink looks to be about a 10 ounce cup, which comes with mostly ice at about 4 to 5 ounces of actual drink for $2.19 if you order it individually. Like I said... the pricing is ridiculous for the quality and the amount of food and drink you receive.

Just had a couple breakfasts here, but looks like a really pleasant place for drinks and dinner…read more There was always live music wafting through the hotel lobby from Swampers each evening. Service efficient and really pleasant and helpful. Buffet scrambled eggs were the low point - clearly Industrial powdered eggs - but they'll happily make you fresh eggs or a great omelet. So long as you get good eggs, the bacon, sausage, gravy biscuits, etc from the buffet are breakfast worthy. Else order off the menu, it'll be a good plate of food as well. Probably the tastiest thing about any breakfast in Alabama will be the Conecuh sausage - If you're not already a fan, do give it a try (just order sausage in Alabama, it'll be Conecuh!). Wherever you travel, those local specialties are worthy of your attention.
