We found this place online and decided to give it a try based upon the positive reviews. There was plenty of parking in the lot. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. The young lady that took our order was also patient. We ordered smash burgers and a side of the potatoes + a chocolate milk shake. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. After a long day of driving, we are so thankful to find a local place to enjoy a quick meal. Thanks again!

It was easy to park, easy to get seated, and everyone was genuinely kind, especially to the kids. They had a nice variety of local drafts along with plenty of canned options. It felt like the perfect place to sample local flavor all in one stop without having to hop between breweries. A solid pit stop we would definitely return to if we are passing through again.

I was able to visit Birdsnest on March 4, 2026 for the first time with colleagues attending a…read morelocal conference during lunch. We never received our order after the male waiter sat down with us to take our order. We waited 45 minutes no food nor communication. Every other table around us were serve without any concerns including the ones who came after us. A colleague decided to go to the front to check on the status and said waiter procceeded to yell at her very loudly. We immediately got up to leave and waiter continued to yell at the 3 of us as we were leaving. I've never experienced this type of behavior from any restaurant before. There's a difference in being very busy and kind verses being completely disrespectful and loud. Signed, An Embarrassed & Hurt Customer

Wow, REALLY good! Catfish Dinner Plate: excellent fish was…read moretasty and light. Rice was nice. Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

Solid experience. Staff very friendly. They had a double smashburger running so I got that. It was…read morevery good. Place was fairly empty and this quiet. Staff checked in on me while I ate even though it's not true table service. Nice touch. The fries tasted like those frozen / flash fried preseasoned ones. Not very good. Green beans and Cole slaw were good. Check em out if you are in the area.

Run, don't walk to Aloha Kitchen! This is the loveliest business in Florence. It's located right by…read morethe farmers market. 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!
