Best Southern American Restaurants in Florence

Went for brunch today (11/24/24). We got there 1/2 hour early and were seated within 10 minutes at a table we requested. We were greeted immediately by our server (Dawn) who was extremely pleasant and friendly. She told us they had carved turkey today since Thanksgiving is this coming week and that it was amazing. She was certainly correct. Everything on the buffet was perfect. Their wonderful fried chicken was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I have to say it is probably the best fried chicken in the area. The carved turkey was tender and moist with home cooking flavor. Corn souffle, dressing, gravy, green beans - all wonderful. Sorry for all the adjectives but they are all applicable. Had some of the breakfast items as well. Good scrambled eggs, my husband liked the bacon - it was a thicker type than I like but still high quality. Loved the sausage gravy but the biscuits seemed a bit dried out - this was the only item that fell short. The broccoli salad was outstanding. Had blueberry bread pudding and chocolate chip cookies for dessert - again great. I cannot believe they are able to put out such a spread for $25/person. We will be back again and again.

Always delicious, relaxing, accommodating with great service. Never disappointed. Menu is creative and seasonal. Love the pick three option and we always do that to get a broader sampling of the chefs creations. Last night we got into a real traffic mess and were quite late and they were so gracious when we finally showed up!

I always enjoy my dinning experience here, wonderful service & tasty food. Only disappointment today, was it wasn’t decorated yet for Christmas. We had a ladies day of holiday shopping & selected this place thinking it would be all festive & ready for the holidays.

My second visit to Nolia was even better than the first - didn’t think that was possible! Food, service, and ambiance are all 10/10, “no notes”. Best restaurant in the city!!

My wife and I went for the first time for her birthday. We were greeted at the door by our waiter, and he acknowledged her birthday, which was great! We were seated early, which was great, and our server went over the options and his favorites. We went with the flat bread, and then the filet. It was all very delicious. We plan on coming back to try the brunch.
