    Im a huge fan of Shoneys and always hit it on road trips. This was easily a top 3 Shoneys experience for me. Clean open floorplan, and bathrooms also nice. The bar was hot and fresh, the actual owner of the restaurant sat me and was very sweet, and my server Marti was excellent, helpful and let me talk her ear off for a few minutes!Will definitely keep this location in mind next time im between knoxville and Nashville!

    Most of the breakfast bar was not very hot and the gravy was runny but the pancakes were good

    Shoney's is 90's nostalgia! We love it over here! The food isn't going to blow you away BUT the cost is reasonable, they have a hot bar for all you can eat if that is your thing, and the service feels like you are at aunties house.

    Brunch buffet until 2pm… Dinner buffet after 2pm. Salad bar is always fresh with numerous options. Both do not forget to look at the menu items… Great choices for everyone, including great kids menu choices. Desert options are plentiful and delicious. Try classics like hot fudge cake and ice cream, strawberry pie, coconut pie, etc., etc.
