    We came in 8:20 pm Sunday night 12/21/2025. Bar was being pulled. Ordered, notice someone in the back throwing their arms up. Completely unprofessional.

    Classic Shoneys with a fair sized soup, salad, fruit, soup and main dish bar, all you can eat, or order from the menu. The salad bar pricing is confusing, they definitely intend for you to order an entree and add the salad bar as an add-on. Prices for the standalone AYCE bars are not on the menu. Several options, you have to ask your server about them-- whether you want the full bar, or just the soup, salad, fruit bar. Salad bar options were standard, but nicely kept and fresh looking. The soup bar's two soup choices were limiting, but were tasty, if maybe a bit on the saltier side. Meat options this evening were fajitas. The meats were a bit dry, and the tortillas were tough, but still not a bad overall deal, especially for the salad components. This wouldn't be my first 2nd or 3rd choice if I were looking for mexican cuisine, I was definitely interested the salad bar. BTW, the full AYCE bar ran about $15 if ordered alone, salad+fruit was $12, or if your ordered an entree, the full bar was an additional $5. So, the most value option is to order a $15 entree and add on the salad bar. Take the entree as a to-go meal, and enjoy the full salad bar. Two meals, $20, plus drinks, taxes and tips.
