Very disturbing experience at the Maryland Fried Chicken on South Irby Street in Florence, SC. My…read moresister was in the drive-thru and accidentally dropped something out of her car window while trying to grab it--it just flew out. She was trying to pick it up, and instead of being understanding, the employee at the window became hostile and spoke to her in a very disrespectful manner. The employee made offensive comments that were clearly disrespectful toward African American people. That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. After eating the food, my sister also became very sick, which raises serious concerns about food safety and handling. This incident has been reported and needs to be taken seriously. Management should address both employee conduct and food safety immediately. I would not recommend eating here. Your own risk! I'm just warning you. This incident will be reported!! This is unacceptable!! This situation may be escalated to local media and shared publicly if not properly addressed."

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!

Overall the food was good . Having the shrimp on top of the fries made them soggy and greasy.

We tried a few different things to get a feel for this place. Mac n cheese was very cheesy and what you'd expect from fast food - so thumbs up! The Fried mushrooms and the garlic parm dipping sauce was a great match! Button mushrooms were fresh and juicy! The Cayenne Chicken Ran h sandwiches were cooked nicely - had one who added Monterey Jack, one tossed in parm/garlic sauce and one with no bun with honey bbq. All great choices and happy peeps! Lastly we had chicken tender plate with pickles and some fries....all good! Nice change from zaxbys and Chik fil a ....worth a stop at this chain/city! Clean facility and kind staff!

The chicken sandwich tasted very odd and was not good. The people are always nice and helpful but the food today was unacceptable. I had work after and i was in the bathroom three times due to it.

My bestie, who lives in Florence, had heard about this place and was hoping to try it out. After…read moresome geocaching adventures, we used GPS to find Kaleen's Homemade Favorites. It's a cute little shop, with sandwiches, cakes, dips, appetizers, all sorts of homemade goodies ready to take with you. The menu also has a selection of casseroles, lunches and dinners. The cakes are HUGE! We settled on buying a red velvet cake. It was a bit pricey at $32 BUT it was so dang heavy, we asked if it was perhaps frozen?? It wasn't. While checking out, the lovely people behind the counter offered us a sample of the chicken salad. To me, chicken salad is good, but I can't say I've ever had chicken salad that blew my socks off... UNTIL THEN! Mmmmmm it was VERY good. It's been months and I still remember how incredibly tasty the chicken salad tasted. I'll be honest, I didn't say anything, but I'm hit or miss when it comes to red velvet so I was hesitant. Sometimes red velvet can taste bitter or just not good. My friend really wanted that one so I kept quiet. Boy am I glad I did! It was literally the most amazing red velvet cake I've ever tried. It's VERY rich so a small slice will do you (which means the cake will feed more!). Even as rich as it was, I was like a crackhead, wanting just a bit more. Since my friend lives solo, she insisted I take some cake with me. I should have taken more!!! I try not to live life with regrets, but that's one regret for 2015. :( My daughter will tell you she does NOT like red velvet. I forced her to close her eyes, and take a bite. She LOVED it! She scarfed down the slice I brought for her and wanted more. As I mentioned earlier, this was months ago and I still think about how great the cake and chicken salad tasted. I was shocked to see Kaleen's hadn't been created on Yelp yet! If you're anywhere nearby, STOP AT KALEEN'S! Totally worth it.
