    This is a slice of nostalgia that took me back to the 80s . We were traveling through georgia when we found this gem and decided to eat. We got the burger, spaghetti, steak. And chicken stripe and if course the chicolate cake. It was all good, not great, but good. It's average bar and grill level food like you find at Applebee's or chili's. I have to remember that nostalgia set the bar of expectation a bit high but all in all it was very good food with great servers. Food came out as fast as expected with this style restaurant. My regret was that I ordered from the menu and not the buffet. It's small but it looked great i just was not in the mood for fried chicken or pot roast, pretty much the two main meat offerings. The prices were very decent and we got a lot of food for that price.

    The fish sandwich and onion rings were very oily. Frying oil tasted old.

    A server didn't even confirm if we left or not before we moving our drinks and utensils, a customer I assume had to remind her that we were busy getting more food. Not only that as somebody who has never been to shoney except for one time, it would be awesome if the servers will automatically let people know that if you get food from the buffet you cannot order food from the menu which I think is absolutely crazy in the first place but I wanted to get food from the buffet because I wasn't much food variety offered at the buffet so I also wanted to order extra food and I was told that was not allowed. The atmosphere wasn't that bad, it was pretty busy but people were friendly. The food offered at the buffet, in my opinion was not worth the price. Like it tastes good especially the French toast sticks but there was not enough variety for me to see it as a buffet, so the price for two people to eat at a "buffet", let me know that if I do want to try out this location again I will never waste money at the buffet.
