I am not sure why no one can make that place work. The location is prime, and just the "runoff" from the overflow at Olive Garden should keep a good place in business.  Everything that has been there since I have lived here was either to expensive for the local clientele or the food was sub par for the prices.  Would love to see something "different" there.

Perhaps I have become a little food snobbish, but I don't care how good the service is, if the food is mediocre, I won't continue to frequent their establishment. We need to hold all of these establishments to the same standard. To be honest, you can get great service at Hooter's, but their food (other than their wings) can be found just about anywhere, so why bother. Crash  is right though, for the most part, around here, people will continue to go to a place with overpriced food, despite the quality, as long as the service is good, which is why we have a plethora of places to eat. I would like to see something new, like Cheddars, or Macaroni Grill, even if it is a chain, it will beat the same old Burger, fried chicken, mexican venues we have now.

Agreed, on Macaroni Grill, their Italian menu is competent and one can even order Campari and soda.

One other location is being made ready for a new tenant.  The last vacant building in the complex with Five Guys and Blue Coast Burrito has lots of activity going on.

Word has it that it is going to be an Asian restaurant something with Angus in the name from what I've been told.  Time will tell.

I thought Crocodile Ed's had some good food.  The biggest problem I saw with them was the service.  It seemed that most every server that worked there looked down their nose toward most every customer as if they were better than the people they were serving or that the people served didn't really deserve to be there.  I just kept getting the idea that they wanted people to think this was such an elite place that only the 1% of the 1% would be welcome and the others could maybe justify being there for the scraps that fell from the elite's plates.  Then there was the few servers that seemed to walk as if they were carrying a corn cob up their rear while trying to walk and their face was continually contorted as if they were forced to smell someones flatulence.  

 

Even when the food is great people enjoy a great or friendly server and not someone who feels that you are beneath them and somehow don't deserve to be there.  That was just my opinion based upon what I observed on several visits.  Food was great, service was substandard and insulting at times.

The truth:  Breastaurants are the only positive sign in the restaurant world right now.

Well, at least they are upfront with the dining public.

Maybe an all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet called Tooters and Pooters.

prize bar......

I always thought Danver's was pretty good but that's what the place started out as ( I believe ) but now there aren't any Danver's left as far as I know.  I doubt that there will be a Hooter's here in Florence but they do at times locate in a University town but UNA might not be big enough for them to consider it even if the restaurant could be brought in.

Oh Semi,

 

A hungry man who has a hankerin' for seafood and satisfies his appetite by starin' at an aquarium ain't never gonna catch any fish.
