Adriane LinebergerTonight, we got fried catfish and shrimp. Also ordered wings and chicken tenders. Breaking it down: We got food to go. Cornbread is exceptional. Heating it in air fryer for a minute it so crisped it. Delicious. Catfish was perfectly fried, tender. Shrimp, also delicious. The wings were perfect, moist, and different toppings were all good. I don’t know where you could go to find better food. But one thing I do know…you will not find better chicken tenders anywhere! I cannot even describe how good they are and do justice. You have to try them! (and everything else)

Eliezer MartinezGreat little place in the neighborhood we decided try out for the first time. We loved our Pimento Cheeseburger and the Fried Green Tomatoes.

CrystalIf you’re looking for real Southern food and genuinely exceptional service, go to Notch 8 Carolina Kitchen. Seriously. The hospitality starts the second you step onto the pavement. Before you even make it through the door, you’re already being welcomed. They opened the door, welcomed my family in, and made us feel like we were guests in someone’s home instead of customers walking into a restaurant. And the FOOD? Phenomenal. True Southern cooking that tastes like somebody actually cares about what they’re putting on your plate. Everything was amazing, and the kind of good that makes you slow down because you’re already thinking about when you can come back. But what really got me was the service. Warm, attentive, genuine, and completely unpretentious. That kind of hospitality is getting harder and harder to find, and Notch 8 absolutely nailed it. From the moment we arrived until we left, they made my family feel welcomed and appreciated. 10/10. Would absolutely recommend. If you haven’t been yet, go. Come hungry. Leave happy. And probably start planning your next visit before you even get home. 😂❤️

Suzanne La RochelleMy family of food critics was pleasantly surprised. My son claimed, "Truly one of the best meals he has had this year." And he has traveled all over the world this year! I served Notch8's Angus burgers, pork shoulder, and a variety of wings with homemade side dishes. Truly grateful to know there is a place in Florence to order high-quality meat dishes at a very reasonable price.
