    Glad to finally see a Shoney's not shut down so while in town I had to check out the breakfast buffet. It was amazing!!! I wanted to see who the chef was back there! Best biscuits and gravy anywhere in the US. French toast sticks were light and fluffy, eggs perfect, and they had cracklins! There's even a drive thru and it's nice inside! Way better than the Shoney's of my childhood!
