LOOK HERE, 5 STARS *****This place is definitely a winner in my book. They far surpass my 2 local Shoneys in both Alcoa and Maryville. The staff was great, the food was certainly fresh, rest room was clean. They had a crowd so it shows they are doing everything right. Great job and many thanks to Brittani, Deana,Dave, Christy and Miranda. Hope to see yall again one day
