    Traveling and made a beeline for Shoney's when we saw it was coming up on the next exit. Haven't had Shoney's since the 1980s. Did not disappoint. Had the breakfast bar buffet and it was hot, fresh, and tasty. Excellent service, very attentive. Clean establishment and bathrooms. Will try to come back on our next adventure down 65.

    I haven't been to a Shoney's in decades but I'm glad we stopped at this one. It was packed but we were seated quickly. Our waitress was a really sweet person and did a great job. She tended to our needs but didn't hover. I had the breakfast bar and it was better than i remember. I don't know if we'll be in this part of the country again any time soon but i would go here again. Keep up the great work Shoney's!!
