I went to 301Drive Inn at 7pm tonight, placed my order to sit there 35minutes for my food while other people came and left. I ordered a 3pc with both of my sides being salad. For my wait I am brought a tea, to satisfy my wait. I dont drink tea. At no time did anyone apologize for it taking so long, but they made sure I still paid full price of the meal. I drove all the way cross town from BCBS because i thought they were better then Cruise the View but couldve went there instead. The salad has big ass white onions on it. Salads are best with red onions, i use to work in fast food to know. I will not be going back anytime soon or never. This was very disappointing.

Made it clear ( I thought) what we wanted - two chicken salad sandwiches. We got one chicken salad sandwich with fries - which we did not order, and a fried chicken salad! Over $20 for two sandwiches and two cokes! Got a $2+ refund for the difference in price of the salad and the sandwich. Still paid for the fries which we did not order, nor want --- plus there was precious little chicken salad in the sandwiches. Sorry, not again!!

I stopped by on my way for a doctor appointment, because I wanted a Cheeseburger and I heard they had good food.. Not only was my bread old, the patty on the burger was so thin, I finally took the bread off and ate just the little patty. It was just ashamed to know I paid 16.00 for 2 Cheeseburgers, FF and drinks and so disappointed.

I really wanted to like this place. The concept of an old fashion car hop type establishment sound appealing but only if the food is great. It wasnt. I was also put off by the fact that the cashier was so caught up in her conversation with her coworker, she couldnt even take my order. I had to repeat each thing three times.

VERY POPULAR in this area. I have eaten here since I was a child (over 50 years). They specialize in fried chicken. It is the best. There is always a big lunch crowd, but things move quickly and somehow there always seem to be an empty table just as you need it.

Everytime my Husband and I come down from NY this place is a MUST VISIT. The food there is prepared FRESH daily and seasoned just right. The prices are reasonable and the service is FABULOUS! I recommend this place FOR SURE! LOVE IT

Because of the drive in, chicken not so good anymore.I always looked forward to coming home just to eat at the drive in. I have been disappointed the last few times, chicken just doesnt have that same great taste anymore.

Great family restaurant, great food and service! The grilled chicken dinners and onion rings are my favorite! Right across the street from the Performing Arts Center, The Drive In is in the center of downtown Florence.

Spent $11.06 on a Beef Gyro and Fries with a Clarinet. Asked for a cup of house sauce and they asked for a quater.. I guess $11.06 worth doesnt include sauce.. forget nickle and dime you.. they quarter you..

Horrible. The burgers tasted like they were frozen patties thrown in a microwave. Service was extremely slow and far less than accurate. Not sure how theyve been in business since 1957.

I go there for lunch at least 3X a month. The food is always good and the service is always great...Something about those fries...love em. A little pricey but the food is worth it!

Today was not good but I come here often from out of town. Food is always great but fries was barely warm and chicken was not good. Very unusual so giving a 5 anyway!

I had the Philly cheese steak with fries. My husband had the rib eye steak sandwich with fries. We both enjoyed our meals. The inside is comfortable and clean.

Fast service and great food. I can never get anything other than the fried flounder. I also loved the grilled chicken salad.
