    Was pleasantly surprised with the experience. Reminded me of my younger days going to Shoney's growing up. The waitress was very attentive, brought us drinks and clear the table without us having to ask.

    Shoneys!! Excellent food just as always. Nothing beats a good breakfast from their breakfast buffet, scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, cheese sauce and bacon is the favorite. Plenty of other options too if that doesnt temp your taste buds. Sausage links, pancakes, fruit, French toast sticks, etc.

    First of all, service, AMAZING. A lot of the day time server have been there for 10+ years. They take time to get to know their "regulars" & we always enjoy eating there. Stephanie & Stacey obviously love their job & show it with their attention to making sure guests are content!!
