The duck was extremely salty!! I mean tasted like they don't measure and had a bad taster. It was terrible. The calamari was the tiniest and saltiest appetizer I've ever seen for $15, The catfish had a bed of extra spicy, salty rice again with the salt. The collard greens were both too salty and too sweet. Cucumber salad had an unpleasant taste. The shrimp skewers, steak, burger, truffle fries, mashed potatoes and cornbread with guava butter and were seasoned well. I ordered the $49 filet mignon and my receipt showed a $54 charge, with not 1 side. The waitress dropped the birthday cake off and kept going. I asked if they would sing happy birthday she said no and walked off, extremely cold. They made us sort the $1027 bill out among 18 people, awful experience. Almost all of the group's food needed to go back bc of the salt overload, except the burgers, shrimp and steak. Definitely won't be returning.

I rarely leave reviews like this, but after our experience at Wholly Smokin' BBQ & Ribs, it feels…read morewarranted. After driving 15 hours on March 21, 2026, my husband and I were genuinely excited to try this place and planned to take our food back to the hotel. Unfortunately, the experience started off poorly and never really recovered. First, parking is extremely limited out front, which is frustrating when you're tired and just want a quick pickup. Inside, things only got worse. The front-of-house staff was shockingly unprofessional. The employee helping us clearly didn't understand her job and had to be corrected multiple times by another staff member--something no customer should have to witness. It created confusion, delays, and zero confidence in our order. We paid about $50 for a sampler, which is not cheap, and yet the same employee argued about giving us the sides because she entered the order incorrectly. If another, more competent employee hadn't stepped in, I'm convinced it would have escalated further. Even then, we never received one of the four sides we paid for. To make matters worse, we were never asked if we wanted drinks to go, and we weren't given plates, silverware, or even BBQ sauce--basic essentials for a takeout order. That's just unacceptable. While waiting, we also watched this same employee tell three separate dine-in families to go sit and wait while she stood there rolling silverware. Completely rude and dismissive. If I had been one of those customers, I would have walked out. This is the first impression customers get, and it's a terrible reflection of how the place is run. Between the disorganization, poor communication, and outright unfriendly behavior, the service was a mess. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the food itself was actually very good. The burnt ends and ribs were the standout--absolutely delicious. But great BBQ can't fully make up for such a frustrating and poorly managed customer experience.

He was SO hospitable, sweet and genuinely welcoming. He gave great recommendations and did not steer us wrong. These days, it's not always easy to come across service like that, which made it even more appreciated. I ordered the Sunset Blush drink and it was delicious. We also got the cornbread and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the BEST cornbread I've ever had. So soft and flavorful. The brisket sandwich was a little dry (could be because we went during closing) but still had really good flavor. The mac and cheese though... WOW. I am very picky with mac and cheese and most places miss the mark, but this tasted homemade. Easily a 10/10. My husband got the peach bourbon burger and said it was great. The kids ate everything in sight which is always a win...lastly the cinnamon roll cheesecake for dessert... phenomenal!!! Overall such a great experience and I'm really glad we stopped in!

Seating is high top tables around one side and other side is bar with stage at back for musicians or miscellaneous. Waitress tells me music starts at 10 till 2am, one of only places in Florence open past 9pm. The menu has the most variety of two other similar restaurants in Flo, steak, po boy, bag boil, crab, pasta, soup, prices are reasonable. I went with Grouper Po-boy wifey w shrimp/crawfish boil bag. Mine was pretty good , she said hers was too oily but she did eat most of it. Note: plain rice is not a side only rice pilaf for all you rice fans. Bahama Mama mixed drink strong refreshing. 4% charge if paying with credit card, written in small print on menus. I would give it another try or two to sample steak or for cocktails. Not bad, might say a local gem.

Only $7 to taste multiple wines (which change week to week), and you don't have to wait a month for the next 'wine tasting'. Grotto has an actual tasting bar, plus an option to order a plate of exotic salami and cheeses which can't be bought locally. This gives Grotto a huge advantage over Mickey Fins which is set up like the inside of a gas station. Mickey fins has competitive pricing, and a very large selection, but does not do daily tastings, nor do they have a bar/sit down area. Both know their wines well, both have been friendly and helpful. Overall, this is a wonderful place to buy wines or to relax and socialize with friends!

All of this is true of The Grotto, and more. Vince and Maura, the owners of this lovely wine bar, are amazing! They have really managed to create something special. They both really love and really know wine! And they love to talk with people, from the beginner to the expert, about vino. Vince has amassed a truly impressive and unique collection of wines that you won't be able to find anywhere except maybe Charleston.
