“We had an excellent lunch here today! The service was incredible. I think our server's name was Drew? He was enthusiastic, attentive, and kind. We so appreciated him today! Our food was delicious; my Cubano, in particular, was maybe the best I've ever had. The beer selection was expansive, and we enjoyed everything we got to try. The building itself was also really fun to be in, as it's an old train depot. We are lucky to have such an excellent spot in Loudon!“

“We live in Knoxville Tn. and we were on our way to Panama City and decided to stop by Shoney‘s in Lenoir City Tn. for breakfast. We had never been there before but the moment we walked in a lady seated us and she made us feel like she had known us forever. We didn’t know her before we went in but later found out her name was Denise. After seating us she was also our waitress. It did not take us long to see how much she loved her job by the way she served people. Not just us but everyone we saw come in the door she greeted with a smile and joy. She was such a huge blessing to us first thing this morning. We hope Shoney’s knows how valuable she is to their company. A genuine person with a sweet, sweet spirit. The food was good too?“

“The staff was so friendly and the food was delicious!“

“I found this place while exploring the local roads near the house and I am so glad I stopped here. The food is wonderful and it so much reminds me of my Mamaw’s cooking. The service is good too and the drag car atmosphere I adore.

I’m super excited to go back again and try the breakfast out now tbh I’ll definitely become a regular here.

Yall are awesome 😎“

“We went to Aubrey’s twice in one weekend. I’m still dreaming about my Cranberry Chicken Salad, but then I had the really yummy Chicken Salad Club. I would have both again. We didn’t have a wait, but we went at just the right time. There seems to be no way to make a reservation or call ahead. The place can get a little noisy and hard to hear each other but we had excellent service and time with friends!“

“Absolutely Outstanding Experience!
From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and well taken care of.
The food was nothing short of exceptional—each dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The New York Steak was a standout, and the dessert was the perfect finish to an already perfect meal.
You can tell the team here truly cares about the details, from the ambiance to the plating to the timing of each course. It’s rare to find a place that nails every aspect of the dining experience, but this restaurant does just that.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal. We’ll definitely be back!“

“First of all the Valentines day waitress for the evening was incredible, she zipped around like a worker bee trying to get a promotion, I mean girl was polite and fast. We got our breakfasts and ate and ate till we were stuffed full. Watched the show a little longer, as a ex Pub owner I so would have tried to snipe her for our place, she was good. Also as you can see, thats how you plate food and it was great. Thank you to the kitchen staff for making our Valentines Day a yummy one. -DW & Cin“

“Anna was my waitress and she was wonderful.“

“My sisters and I shared a very relaxing and totally pleasurable evening at the Chili's in Lenoir City, TN this evening and we intended to leave a rave review for our server Heather. Alas, something went awry, so we're using Google to thank her for her efficiency, thoughtfulness, quick response, and joyful outlook. It had been a blessing. And the food was wonderful, too.“

“I highly recommend! There were 9 of us & all of us said the same thing about the restaurant! The service was great, the food was delicious, & the service was fast! We will definitely be eating there again, the next time we're in the area!☺️“
