Seven of us went to Drummonds for lunch and ordered the seafood baskets. The fish and shrimp were excellent and the natural cut fries were good. I don’t normally eat onion rings, but I tried these, and they were the best I have had.

I’m not sure anyone has tried Drummonds Meats. But, I bought some brisket, ribs and pulled pork yesterday. Hands down, the best Bbq I have had in the Florence area. -Their brisket is the best I’ve had this side of Texas! -Their bbq isn’t as good as they make it in Tennessee. But, it’s a lot better than any place I’ve eaten in our area. (Same style, but, it isn’t overwhelmed by VINEGAR!) -Their ribs are hands down the BEST around here. The portion size of a full rack is huge and meaty back ribs. They are cooked dry rub style and perfectly smoked. The only fault I found was the rub is pretty spicy. (But, very flavorful)

Absolutely worth the time and drive to check them out. Fresh quality food and a chance to snag up fresh meat to take home as well. Will definitely be on our list of return visits when close by.
