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.

A wonderful place with a small buffet. Tucked away, we enjoyed this restaurant during a recent trip into Tennessee. Definitely will be looking for this place next time we are in the area. Can't wait ,

My boyfriend and I usually eat shoneys every sunday that I am home from college. Today we went and it was a very different experience. The server we had I was familiar with because I know her through mutual friends. Her name is Alex. She noticed me at the table after dropping off drinks and proceeded to pass us to another server, which is understandable from one server to another it’s awkward serving someone that you know, knows a lot of information about you. After that the server she passed up too rushed us the entire time we were there. My boyfriend didn’t even have his plate yet and dropped off our ticket on the table. She proceeded to rush us, offered no refills, and was rude. Another server came up to us and treated us as if we were her table giving refills and more. I went to get another plate from the bar and I overhead the server we got passed to from Alex say that we had been talking about Alex and that’s why she took our table. The service was VERY unprofessional and I am very disappointed. Something need to be done about the unprofessional behavior from these two servers.
