Best Casual Restaurants in Florence

Service and food were excellent. Took my family here for Christmas since my wife and i had a great experience our previous visit. I left my wallet there a couple of months ago and they kindly called me right away. So, we came back for the repeat visit. I had the cioppino. Fabulous!

Friends from Ohio asked about going here recently, so we decided to take them. It’s not far from our house, but there are so many restaurants in the Boone County, KY area that it doesn’t come to mind. The friends LOVED everything about Tousey! The food, the ambiance the service were all on point. They even declared the Fried Chicken to be better than The Old Mill in Gatlinburg! In such a tough season for restaurants, with several closing for good, I’m hoping this place remains!

BJ's service and food were very good. Our waitress was very helpful in letting us know about specials being offered. She came back just enough to check on everything. I would recommend this BJ's restaurant in Florence, Ky.

The food was excellent and well presented. Our server was pleasant and efficient. We really enjoyed our night at the races!

First time eating at this fascinating restaurant with a really excellent view that is different from most Cincinnati Riverside views. Great outdoor and indoor venue at this 7th floor rooftop setting. Unique cooking system with a complete wood-burning grill centered in the dining room, I walked up to look at the fire and the engineering for the immense grill/oven. There is an enticing, smoky aroma in the restaurant when you first enter. If smoke bothers you then what the heck are you doing coming to this restaurant? Because all of the food tastes absolutely wonderful imbued as it is in that incredible white oak, cherry, apple and pear wood smoke. I would get an appetizer or a side rather than the dessert, because the mushrooms were lovely though with a tart taste that I’m not used to having.. That melded with the smoke did make them very memorable. We also tried the crab/scallop/cheddar cheese, dip. Paired with large brioche style bread, freshly toasted of course, which I actually saw them do over the coals. Cheddar and shellfish, who knew? My barbacoa style short rib with sweet potato, tomatillos and quest fresco was a smoky deliciousness. My wife’s chicken was moist with crispy skin. My daughters duck did not stay on the table long enough for me to examine. It was great I’m told. Every morsel of meat had that smoky undertone. Fascinatingly enough the mushrooms stood the smokiest. Will definitely come back, with friends to smell, eat and gaze at the view. Half off bottles of wine on Wednesdays!!
