Long-standing buffet favorite delivers plentiful, comforting plates, friendly service and ample parking but shows uneven execution. The buffet, salad and breakfast bars offer variety including vegetarian sides, while fried chicken and desserts earn praise. Diners report intermittent cold hot dishes, wilted salad items, spotty cleanliness and inconsistent policies—especially a dine-in–only military discount and strict takeout rules for children. Ideal for families and road-trippers seeking hearty, affordable meals, but expect variable freshness and occasional service or policy frustrations.

It's the Shoney's Breakfast Buffet we remember from our childhood! The delicious food, familiar layout, and excellent service are just as we remember! Food: 5/5

We stopped here during our family road trip and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the food was enjoyable. Just a heads up, this location only offers a buffet. For vegetarians, there are options like mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, a salad bar, and more.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! Came in from Memphis stopping for a bite on the way to Florida. 10/10 worth the stop. Staff is very friendly, restaurant is pristine, and the buffet was full even an hour before closing. The one we have in Memphis is a dump, so this was a breath of fresh air in so many waysFood: 5/5

We decided to try it again after many years of not going there due to very unimpressive foods hardly fit for the pig's trough. It was a mistake. The waitress did her best and deserved getting a great tip! We really hope she and others will have thecourage and find the incentive to find a real job working for a company that actually cares about both their employees and theircustomers!
