This is the cleanest Shoney's I've been in in a while. The buffet was kept up well and the staff was super friendly. Can't go wrong with the breakfast bar, but the other dinner buffet offerings were good too. Perfect for picky eaters and families.

Had the salad bar, for the most part the food was good. The part that didn't impress me was the condition of the bathrooms. Not clean at all. The building is very dated, and could use some updating.
