Description

A nostalgic roadside Shoney’s offers dependable, all-you-can-eat comfort with a well‑kept breakfast/lunch buffet, standout salad bar and catfish, and attentive, friendly staff. Clean dining areas and restrooms, a small gift shop and reasonable prices add appeal. Occasional buffet‑only service or limited variety occurs when understaffed, but consistent quality and warm service make it a reliable, family‑friendly stop for travelers and locals alike.

I spotted the sign about 10 miles before reaching the exit, which really built up my appetite and nostalgia. The restaurant looked just as I remembered it, the staff were friendly, and the food was excellent. They only offered a buffet, but who could complain? The breakfast buffet was very well-maintained, and the attentive waitstaff ensured everyone's drinks were always filled. If you’ve never experienced Shioney, you’re truly missing out—it’s consistently great!

Great service and the food was great. Only had the buffet due to staffing issues but I reckon that’s to be expected in todays world. Would definitely go back and. Prices was reasonable and cost just as much as you would get at any burger joint and this food was way better and it was all you can eat. Give it a try on your way by.

I enjoyed my experience at Shoney's and really wish there were more locations nearby. I visited on Sunday around 1:30 PM, and due to staffing issues, only the buffet was available. The salad bar and catfish were fantastic. I also tried the fried chicken, which was decent, but it had a flavor that suggested the cooking oil might need to be changed. The service was excellent! Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a great experience at the breakfast bar, which offered a wide variety of dishes at a reasonable price. Everything my husband and I tried was freshly made and perfectly cooked. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, ensuring our coffee was always topped up. Both the restaurant and the restrooms were clean. We also noted that the health department rated the establishment a score of 99 on the day of our visit.
