    We have been eating breakfast at Glasgow for several years every weekend and the price continues to increase. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming. Today was probably our last visit because of the cost of a breakfast. Two people with a tip was $42.00. That’s not including the tip I generally leave the guy working hard on keeping the buffet stocked and cleaned because he never stops. I’m sure cost has risen to cause the increase. Thanks.

    Okay.Well first of all , I ordered online , and I didn't know that it was controlled by uber or whatever. So I got charged for using that , even though I went down here and picked it up. There was only one other vehicle there. So, i got my food and went back to the room. I do not like brown gravy , especially when it comes to restaurants making it .. So I did not order brown gravy because I didn't want it on my mashed potatoes, It's nasty. I never had theirs, but for the most part.Any brown gravy from a restaurant is nasty to me. Well guess what's on my mashed potatoes? Yup ... Brown gravy.... So I'm trying to get it all.Added the cup is best.I could because I did not want to go back for that. After tasting the masked potatoes , it would have been better to leave the brown gravy on. Kind to find out later , anyhow , their instant. Well , I looked at the fried shrimp and thought , well , let's give this a try. I don't know to me would be like comparison of seeing that shrimp inside that crust... Would be like zombie meat.... Why would shrimp look gray..? And it was so mushy inside. I brought my food back. Nobody had an ideal as to why the shrimp looked like that.Because she only put it in for 5 minutes. And the other lady... She said that she was sorry.It was her decision to put the gravy on the mashed potatoes. After tasting the mashed potatoes, I know why she did it. They had a whole buffet out there... of... I think it was pasta...on the thursday..... They said nobody likes it.... That's why nobody was there. Say you telling me the business is doing so good that they're going to throw away all that pasta , even though nobody's going to eat it. They did refund my money. But unless you you wanna end up in the hospital with food poisoning , I would not eat in that place even if they were given it to you for free. But the people were nice that I was dealing with. They recommended. Me I don't know was two or three plates that were pretty decent. That's what they said. The most popular meal she said was breakfast. I was thinking of my head if it was that was so... Why do they waste their money on keeping it open in the evening then? I just can't believe that there would be 2 or 3 plates, that would be decent when you served me gray shrimp and mush. Well I just know that i'm not gonna be back and i'm not gonna trust anything else they serve.

    When I was a kid this place was great. Went here for the first time in YEARS and it was absolutely awful. The service was horrible. It took and extra 30 minutes to switch the buffet because one person wearing sunglasses was the only one doing anything. I will not be returning to this establishment.

    Night shift is a bunch of kids playing. Bars been out of chicken (and other stuff) since before we got here with a promise of going to be coming out soon. About an hour into dining still nonstocked bar. Asked the waitress to find out how long and hear the cook shouting and cursing it's coming damn. Then back to playing around with who im assuming is the manager. (Skinny tall guy). If wanting to come here, dont. Place is a joke.

    When I first moved here in september of 2016, this was the place to eat at breakfast lunch, and dinner even all you could eat steak night no more. Somehow after the covid shut down this place has never been the same.The food is horrible.The service I know the waitresses can't help it because they're understaffed. I've only been there twice since 2022. They turned a great place to take your family to have fun, and eat buffet to a terrible place to go now. RIP Shoneys.
