The staff is always exceptional and extremely nice. Plus if you go on Tuesdays it's all you can eat breakfast, and you can't beat that.

The food was good but they had breakfast still on one side of the bar and made it not a lot to make a selection for lunch after church meal which around 1pm I would have thought breakfast would not be on the bar on a sunday after church. The service was great.

Usually we like Shoney's. This visit was a waste of money. Buffet items.. fish, shrimp okra and other food was cool or cold. Shrimp was not crispy... outside was soft, inside was rubbery. Broccoli soup appeared to not have been stirred or refreshed in awhile. There was an unappealing crust on top. Soup had a burnt, old flavor. Un-eatable. Mashed potatoes and green beans were the only hot items I ate. The restaurant supervisor told me the food sometimes was like this during slow times. I guess they only keep it fresh during busy hours.
While the manager was apologetic and didn't charge us for one buffet.... we still felt like we paid too much for such poor quality. We left hungry and disappointed. We will think twice before choosing Shoney's again.

Food was fairly good, not too many choices of hot food the day that I went. Also way more expensive here than other Shoney's restaurants, so I recommend going elsewhere if price bothers you.

It's Shoney's and I don't have high expectations. The Friday night buffet was not great and most of the food options were quite dry.
The staff is always very nice, helpful and hard working.

Went for breakfast I had fixed my plate and a lady came in with her dog and went to the Bar with her dog fixing her plate. Now I do not hate animals but I don’t want them around my food or the food I have to pick from. There should be guidelines on how far this can go. And no she wasn’t bind so I don’t understand why this is allowed. Paid for the meal and left. I will not go back!

It's been a while since I have eaten at Shoneys. I must say I wasn't impressed at first with the breakfast bar. However, going back for seconds it was much better. Place was clean and my server was absolutely awesome 👍

Went at 5:30 pm and found a full Breakfast bar and Dinner bar. Plenty of available seating with Hot Fresh food.

One of THE cleanest Shoneys I've ever been to. Buffet was amazing.
Waitress didn't too well with refills on drinks or checking on us is my only complaint

Buffet selection is very limited for the price. Might be better to order off the menu.
