The restaurant is historically known for its breakfast all day food options and savory Southern and Greek American food classics menu; however, the local indoor smoking ban has and the more recent allegedly temporary pandemic regulations have all but shut down the dinner/supper operations the locals have always loved this local institution for. It’s almost as if they’re giving up and closing the doors slowly, but surely. Best breakfast for supper in town, IF YOU CAN CATCH THEM OPEN, but it’s looking like that’s never going to be so again! Mr. and Mrs. Doulaveris, if you turn over the reigns to someone else, even if they’re not in the family, please don’t make them have to buy the name separate from the business. There’s been enough of that and it’s destroyed the feel-good Florence once had. Do this community a favor and let any new owner/operators be able to do so as The Venus Pancake House without having to pay a fortune for a name. We all know Cruise the View failed from not being able to call itself Sky View and now no one wants to buy just the name and all of Florence thought it was incredibly petty of the previous owners of 301 Drive In to not allow the use of the name when they sold the business over to new owners and the whole community STILL calls it 301 regardless. I hope you’re not retiring or selling, and I hope your family plans to reopen at full hours again very soon, but if selling and getting out is the plan, do better by the Florence Community than other local proprietors did when they sold and retired. With much love and respect, Venus’ biggest fan!
