Usually only come here in the evening when there's no crowd, and it's great. The staff are friendly and the food is good.

Me and my mom got there about 10:30AM and it was perfect timing. It wasn't busy at all and there was all fresh, full breakfast and lunch foods on the buffet and they were just bringing out the fried chicken. I ate 3 full plates and it was great. I haven't been to Shoney's in over 20 years. I used to have the bear as a kid.

Our breakfast go to on most weekends. The food is always very good. The service has been excellent every visit.

Parking was a breeze, Breakfast buffet was hot, fresh, and stocked full of everything I could think of, even with it being "the after church rush".. The fried potatoes, white gravy, sausage links, and French toast sticks were my favorite. Even had some lunch stuff to choose from like salad, mac n cheese, mash potatoes and chicken tenders. Server team worked phenomenal together-helping eachothers tables, you could tell they enjoyed their job. Empty Plates were taken off our table within a few minutes after finishing. Refills were on the table before drinks were empty. Karen was our server and explained how cards were taken at table and cash was upfront. This was my first time in a shoneys so it was nice to know how to pay without having to ask or sit there looking silly. We will definitely be back (:

The food was already. They needed to keep things stirred up to make the food more presentable. The staff did not need to be hollering back and forth about the customers whom left that was complaining. Never really got checked on til the end of eating. This place needs to change or won't be open long. It will be closed like alot of the other places.

I got there for brunch. They were switching over the buffet items. I also notice that the waitresses were wiping down tables, sweeping, and even wiping the salt and pepper and ketchup bottles.

I loved this shoneys location one of the waitress there gave my son a paper with stickers to decorate and the food was so good I will be coming back

I can honestly say this has been the worst experience I've had. My waitress (Amber) was litteraly the only thing that made my visit pleasant in any way. I watched the manager (Britney) mixing older food with fresh food that came out, the food over all was less than desirable. I also watched as the same manager wore the same plastic gloves while dealing with the food buffet walk past a trash can and ran her fingers/hands around the edge of the trash when walking by it several times in the back (which was straight across from my seating area in very plain sight).And as my family and I were leaving and I paid I watched this same manager remove 2 tips left on tables for the same waitress that I had and she had no problems putting the tips straight into her pocket. I made sure to hand my waitress her tip so I knew she received it. Maybe this is why you all can't keep workers if you have no respect for the patrons paying for the poor excuse you call food being served or the hard working waitress getting their tips stole by their boss ? !!!!!!!

Seated Ourself (as did the 2 other famalies that came in). Food Was Cold an Burnt To Warmer Pans On Food Bar. Super Messy, Food Bar Needed To Be Cleaned. Never asked to give us Refills. Plates Left On Tables From Previous Ppl Who Had Ate well Longer Than Should Had Been I'm Sure. All Employees Walked Out To Take Break. Aquintances of the workers would come inside get Food in to go boxes an walk out..our... w/out paying!Not Sure How This Place Stays Open ?

Was so yummy. Wish they had better pricing for kids. Pricey if we bring them. Service was great.

I was really disappointed with the buffet. I haven't been to Shoney's in years and was really looking forward to it. My husband made sure we had a hotel close by for breakfast. I guess some memories are best to keep as memories. Plus the price was outrageous!!!

Was good. Unfortunately we were the only one there. Really hate the way gas prices are affecting restaurants

Always nice servers...and service. Food for breakfast can be iffy with sometimes rawish bacon and we'd like to see the eggs cooked longer. Offers salad bar during breakfast hours. Seems to be a nice place for seniors to eat. Overall pretty good food.

First time eating breakfast hot bar since covid hit. Food was hot and fresh. Everything thing i expected and wanted.

Tables were dirty, floor & oh my the shades were covered in heavy dust & whatever. There was barely any food on the bar, including salad. Also, NOT TODAY, was the answer to the veterans discount, Holiday meal it was?.I probably didn't eat a saucer of food, expensive $15 glass of water. We hadn't been there in quite sometime, we'll probably not return.
