Wasn't as nostalgic as when I was a kid but food was great service was great just wish the food was put out a little faster but not a complaint

Kid-friendliness: Very much kid friendly, just wish the bathrooms were bigger than 1 toilet + 1 urinal = disaster for the restaurant to be so big I'll never understand who thought that would suffice

The food was horrible. Several people in our party were sick afterward! The server was the only high point.

12/19/24 - We went for the breakfast buffet on our vacation. I haven't been to a Shoney's that I remember since I was a kid and our local one closed. Service was excellent. I wanted hot chocolate with whipped cream like I had when I was young. The waitress thought they were out until tomorrow. She apparently went looking and found one pack. The hot chocolate tasted just like I remembered and the whipped cream was so thick and yummy. The breakfast bar was disappointing. I think they had 2 types white gravy. Gravy from one side of the bar was flavorless. Biscuits were good. Bread pudding looked good, but was blah. Bacon was good. They had 2 types sausage once they finally put it out (it wasn't on the bar when we got our first plate). They had pancakes, French toast sticks and scrambled eggs, flavorless ham, rice with peppers, onions and sausage. The best thing was probably the thin sliced boneless pork chops. They did have the salad bar items and fruit out as well. We got full enough. Breakfast buffet and lunch buffet prices are $14.99. Bathrooms we're clean. If I based my decision to go back on the service, I would definitely go back. If I based it on the hot chocolate with the whipped cream, I would go back. If I based it on the breakfast bar food, I probably wouldn't go back.

We never got my nephews hot fudge cake for his birthday after waiting forever after we finished eating. The bathrooms smelled so bad we couldn’t even handle to smell long enough to use the bathroom.

Had a delicious meal at Shoney's. First soup from the salad bar, then the dish. Service was excellent despite being new. Then we had dessert from the salad bar. In short, we went home with a satisfied feeling

We were here between lunch and dinner. The food was being maintained well even though there were very few people in the restaurant. We had excellent service and our birthday mom was given a great fudge brown sundae to celebrate.

Dietary restrictions: If the buffet does not have what you need there is also a menu.

Kid-friendliness: There are plenty of kid friendly options on both the hot and cold sides. There is also a menu to order from if you prefer.

Not many Shoneys left!!! The breakfast bar is what's it's all about!

We had about 40 people attending the National Quartet Convention. Need someplace that close by, that could handle our group quickly. They could not have been nicer. Very efficient, very nice, and food at buffet very good. The buffet option met our time frame needs. Would use again!

Parking: We had room for our bus and did not hinder the rest of the parking spaces.
