    Fried fish, fried soft-but done-for me, since I just had a great deal of dental work done and a baked potato.

    I don't frequent this business often and today is my last visit. I speak to EVERYONE and ONLY THE CASHIER responds. It's disheartening and it makes no sense. The majority of the back of house staff is known by me because I work another business in this same neighborhood. I simply will not return here. Peace.

    Hamburger steak

    Worst hamburger steak I have ever had. Wasn't all beef. Was processed with lots of filler. Fries, onion rings and salad were good but skip the hamburger steak. Had sweet tea with hamburger steak was over $17 so definitely try something else for the money.

    I opted for the Greek Chicken Salad and got a ginormous salad. Yuge, even. Not much lettuce here at all, it was tomatoes and cucumbers and grilled chicken and green peppers and olives and boiled egg and a ton of feta cheese. I couldn't finish this monster salad. Service was okay, the interior of the restaurant was okay. But you're not coming here for the ambiance, you're coming here for the Americanized Greek-style food. And if that's what you're looking for? You'll be very pleased.

    Early last week, while sitting in on a murder trial to get some school credit, I was hungry and just wanted a great meal (murder trials will do that to you). Being that I am a law student, I love affordable prices and found this GEM! I am obsessed and I had to work hard not to go everyday I was there! This is truly a small little diner so if you want to sit inside during lunch traffic, get cozy with a neighbor because it may be hard to find a seat. The set up also is old country diner style. You walk in to the register and a bench for those waiting on their order, and to the left of the registers are various rows of benches and tables to eat. I order a large hot dog meal. Now they didn't give me much info on what came in the meal other than hot dog lbs and fries but I was fine with that. On my hot dog I got chili, onions, mustard, and cole slaw. The meal came out hot and fresh with my loaded hot dogs, fresh thick cut AMAZING fries and a small salad! I was so happy about the salad because I've been doing my best to get in shape so it made me feel like I was being healthy lol. Y'all. When I bit into this hot dog- IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING HOT DOG EVER! I wish I was exaggerating but I'm not ! I am a country hot dog girl, all the way down to my favorite NC red hot dogs (yes red hot dogs are a thing). This hot dog was an all-Beef hot dog loaded with fresh slaw that was well seasoned and added a great crunch, and amazing chili! This hot dog was so good I did not even attempt to add anything at all to the hot dog - not even ketchup !!!! The fries were heaven sent. You can't go wrong with perfectly crispy, long, thick-cut fries! And the salad was fresh and I loved the added pickles. Also they had homemade ranch. So I basically fell in love and recommend this little diner TO EVERYONE! I can't wait to go back and try the barbecue!

    Throughout the different places that I've lived, I have noticed that the definition of "Greek Restaurant" is different in the South when compared to other parts of the country. It seems that in most places a Greek restaurant primarily consists of Greek food such as: Gyros, Greek salad, Dolmas, Pita Bread, etc. But it seems like in the South, the term Greek restaurant is a place that is owned and run by someone of that nationality, that still has some Greek dishes, but mostly has fried seafood, chicken, and other local staples on the menu. This is a real interesting phenomenon to me, and one that I only thought about when someone not from the southeast came to Town House and asked "Is this a Greek restaurant?" I have many theories on how this came to be, but I'll write that somewhere else. This review is about the Mecca of restaurants to me when I come visit SC. If this place ever drops in quality, it will crush my spirit! Town House is a definite stop if you are driving up or down I-95. I've gotten a lot of different meals here throughout the years, but recently I have stayed with the flounder/oyster combo box. I will say this first of all, the cup of salad can be left out. I always say that next time I will just tell them that in advance because I'm not touching it or the salad dressing, there is no room. All of the seafood is so fresh! The flounder is so tasty and cooked to perfection! The oysters are so big and juicy! My mouth is drooling right now as I type this! Even the fries are seasoned well, but don't start with the fries..there is no room for that either! They give you so much fish that this box is easily two meals, so if two of you are going and you want the same thing, just get one dinner and share. Their menu runs the spectrum of seafood, burgers, chicken, cake, etc. Shrimp, catfish, oysters, whiting, flounder...if it swims it's fried here! This is a staple in the Florence SC area, and there's a reason for it! Good food and good people too! The staff is just as good as the food that they serve! Oh yeah, one more tip. Since you are already indulging in thousands of fried calories, ask for cherry Pepsi. I don't think it's on the menu, but they put a lot of syrup and cherries in it. You might as well drink down a few more hundred calories. It doesn't matter at this point.

    Fried chicken, baked potato, yum!

    This started out as a four star review, but I changed it because while it is not upscale dining, it is great at what it is. My job has me in a different city nearly every night, so I eat out waaay too much, although the upside is that I get to try many different places. Tonight, I decided to try this one. The menu is homestyle, southern cooking, at least the part I looked at is. The prices are reasonable, portions generous, and taste......spot on. As a southerner, any restaurant that doesn't have sweet tea is simply a place to grab a water and ask for directions to an actual restaurant.........with sweet tea. The sweet tea didn't dissapoint. The fried chicken was like home cooked, the baked potato was good size, and came with butter and sour cream without asking, as it should. The one thing, and it is very small, is that the salad came with thousand island dressing already on it. I have no problem with thousand island dressing, in fact I used to live on it as a kid, but given a choice I would have preferred ranch. For what it's worth, I'm not hard to please. Good food, decent prices, friendly atmosphere, and I'm happy. When I find such a place, I'll be back. I'll be back to Town House.

    Bbq sandwich.  I sub'd slaw instead of fries

    We stopped by while passing through South Carolina during a roadtrip and I'm so glad we did!!…read more Our server **Johnathan** completely made the 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!

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.

    A Florence standout worth returning to!…read more As a San Francisco Bay Area foodie, I'm always searching for restaurants that care about sourcing, seasonality and the entire dining experience. Town Hall checked those boxes for me a couple of years ago, so when work brought me back to Florence, I knew exactly where I wanted to eat. I looked at other options first, but nothing appealed to me at quite the same level. Town Hall's farm-driven, Southern-inspired menu, shareable plates and beautiful setting won me over again. And I'm happy to report: the second visit was every bit as memorable as the first. We started with the house-made cornbread and honey butter at our server's recommendation. Be warned: this stuff is dangerous. Hot, sweet and almost cake-like, with that honey butter melting into it. We promptly ordered another basket. Cocktails were equally impressive. I ordered a Sidecar, and when our server asked my cognac preference, my colleague volunteered Hennessy. Hennessy it was--and it made one spectacular Sidecar. For dinner, our server described a scallop special served over a shrimp étouffée-style preparation with microgreens. Sold. I paired that with the wedge salad because, well, I needed some roughage. The wedge came beautifully dressed with blue cheese, tomatoes, pickled red onion and bacon. The scallops were beautifully seared and tender, and the rich sauce underneath made the dish. My dining companions joined the fun with the house-made sausage, another order of the scallops, and a ribeye with French fries swapped in for the creamed corn--a little steak frites moment. Everything landed beautifully. What impressed me almost as much as the food was the service choreography. Our server was knowledgeable, personable and attentive without hovering. There was thoughtful table touching throughout the evening. Our dishes arrived together, and no plates disappeared while someone else was still eating. Those details may seem small, but polished hospitality lives in those details. We were far too full for dessert, so we called it a night--happy, well-fed and already talking about how good everything had been. Town Hall is the kind of restaurant I hope to find when traveling for work: locally driven, interesting food, strong cocktails, beautiful surroundings and service that understands hospitality. Two visits several years apart, and both delivered. If you're in Florence--or passing through South Carolina on your way toward the coast--Town Hall is worth making part of the trip. Life is too short not to eat well, sleep well, travel well and shop well. Get out there and find your next destination.

    They were kind enough to let us order from the menu but eat upstairs. Service was a little slow but…read moreotherwise great. Such wonderful vegetarian options! The creamed corn was delicious. Collards are technically I think cooked with meat but didn't have super heavy flavors for those that may still eat meat. Corn bread was absolutely delicious.
