I would do some more research for Pickens County. Dozo’s is alright but is not the best place by far.

I know all about Victor’s. It’s a good place. However if you ever expect new good local restaurants to open in Florence you should think about spreading the love around and growing a friendly food culture rather than disrespecting small businesses. Also just because a place is more popular doesn’t mean the food quality and taste is better. Thanks for reading. I can’t wait to get back to Florence and eat.
