Review: Ozzie’s Jersey Boys Pizzaria
Ozzie’s Alamangia was one of my favorite places for a hot sandwich. The Cheesesteak was my favorite. I even wrote a specific post here on PeeDeeFoodie.com about it. Thankfully, (Ozzie’s) Jersey Boys Pizzaria’s food is just as good.

Review: Cook-Out Restaurant
This burger and shake restaurant located in the old Fazoli’s on South Irby is a terrific place to grab a delicious burger,a milkshake and a Cheerwine™ soda inexpensively. We’ll tell you why.
Review: Playa Azul
The food is made fresh to order using fresh ingredients. Taken together, this authentic Mexican (not Tex-Mex) menu is unlike anything we’ve experienced in recent years. We say, “Go ahead, leave the Taco Bell behind and try this true taste of Mexico.”
Review: Ann’s Kitchen & Taste of Thai
Ann’s menu is as mouthwatering as it is well-prepared. Each plate’s colors and flavors wrap around your hunger, providing it with a gratifying embrace. That is, unless you tend to spicy side of life. Those same flavors, at your request, will also provide you with a wedgie that you won’t soon forget.
Review: Miguel’s Grill
Despite the social media attention large restaurants receive when they locate in Florence, our town truly has amazing family-owned, local restaurants. Each restaurant is a little different and strives to add a family touch with unique menu options and homemade sauces or dressings.
Miguel Grill offers a Greek flavor with dishes such as gyros and pita bread as well as a touch of Latin flavor with fajitas. Whether you want a gyro, a burger, chicken, fajitas, or seafood, Miguel’s is an excellent lunch or dinner choice.

Here’s our review.
