Bazen’s Family Restaurant

Good solid breakfast, but we should have waited for the lunch buffet. Looked great, even asked for a sample of the delicious fried chicken, which was a great call! Best fried chicken I’ve had I years.
Do yourself a favor and stop by Sunday morning at 11 for what I know is an excellent Buffett

Use to cine for lunch buffet years ago. Good food. Good prices. Nice staff. Love the southern specialties.

I love eating here! I use to live in Florence, SC and I would eat here everyday. There food tastes like someone’s grandma is cooking in the back. All of the food has the perfect amount of seasoning, the staff are very friendly and if you eat there everyday like I did when I lived there you will become family. I love their fried chicken and their liver and onions! If you go there please do your stomach a favor and eat the fried chicken. The cost of eating there is definitely worth the money and it is cooked with love.

This is my favorite restaurant. I love the food and the employees. To me, the food is is seasoned similar to a homemade, and not just poured out of a can. Some of the food (baked pork chops) is better than my Mom’s and my mom is a great cook The waitresses are always friendly and personable, the tables are not too close together and very low to no employee turnover, they all seem to be long term, so they must be treating their employees well.
The waitresses are great but I hope that the share their tips with the cooks, the cooks are a key ingredient for this place being great.

Awesome food! Wide variety of home cooked southern food. Great seasoning and flavor. The staff is very friendly

I enjoyed their breakfast. Fair to low prices and you get great food. Only complaint is bathroom wasn’t very clean did not have area for baby changing and you seated yourself. Otherwise I’d have given it 5 stars

We stopped by here on a Saturday morning on our way to Florida. They had a buffet for breakfast which I would not recommend. My wife and kids ordered off the menu and the food was decent for a cheap price. We find ourselves always looking for a Diners Drive in and Dives type place and this did not live up.
Waitress was pleasant and attentive but food quality not there.
Will skip this place next time

When traveling we like to avoid chain restaurants as much as possible, but that can be risky if you are passing through an area for the first time. We tried Bazen’s tonight and we are glad we did! Everything was excellent, especially the fried fish and the sweet tea. We will definitely make this our regular stopping place when we come through Florence again!

Within seconds of sitting down we were asked by 3 different members of the waitstaff if we had been helped — each friendlier than the last. They smiled as if it was their mission to distribute coffee and grits to the hungry denizens of Florence, SC.
Our shock at the speed and quality of service escalated after seeing the low, low prices on the menu — especially the 0.50 cent egg meal add-​ons. We hope this was a typo since we want Bazen’s to be is business for a long time.
The hash browns with a slight char, seasoned to melt-​in-​your-​mouth perfection were a dream come true.
Bazen’s is a treat for locals and passersby alike. Drop in!

Food was hot and fresh, server was friendly and attentive, lunch buffet price included tea. Loved the fact they had a good selection on salad bar. Food seasoned just right and not salty like you find at some places that sell southern comfort food. I wil definately go back when I visit my family again :)

We arrived here on a Saturday evening to meet a large group. Upon entering, there was a bit of congestion at the front door and we didn’t immediately know what to do or where to go as it was our first time there. This was partly due to the cashier’s counter being at the entry. We didn’t know if one should pay first or get in the cafeteria-​style line first and a lot of people were milling around. Maybe I missed some signs or something. Anyway, we saw some members of our party who told us to go ahead and get in line. So we did. The food is self-​serve, buffet style. They had several main choice options like chicken and dumplings, fried chicken, baked chicken, beef stew, etc. They also had sides like rice and gravy, dressing/​stuffing, peas, beans, corn, etc. Then there were two small salad bars. One for green salad and one for chicken salad, tuna salad, etc. And finally, there was a small table with a variety of desserts on it, including various types of cakes and banana pudding. Everything was prepared home-​style/​southern. The manager was very friendly and staff kept drinks refilled. The food was okay. Some of it was tasty. Some of it was not. If you like buffets, you will surely find something tasty that you can enjoy. Also, you can get your buffet «to go» in a styrofoam platter.
Hours are from 6 am to 2 pm everyday, except Saturday. On Saturday, they close at 11 am instead of 2 pm. On Thurs, Fri, and Sat., the restaurant reopens at 5pm for dinner. Dinner is served on these days until 9 pm. And on Sundays, the hours are from 6 am to 3pm They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets.
Apparently, the price is a bit higher on Sundays. Approximately $ 9 or so.

We were traveling through florence with our two kids, 4 and 2, land wanted to eat at a local family place. So, we had breakfast here, and really enjoyed it. Nice old fashioned low key place. My wife loved the corn beef hash, the kids and I liked the French toast, and the sausage was good. Service very friendly.

You know what is wonderful? Visiting family in the South, having an hour to kill… not knowing where to go to breakfast and typing «family restaurant» into the GPS.
Where does it send you?
Bazen’s Family Restaurant.
If you are a pregnant woman and order the corned beef hash you will dream about it for days.
Even better, you will get out of there for less than a value meal at a fast food restaurant and a very happy and full tummy.
I can’t wait to go back for lunch on my next visit!
