Was seated and had 2 different waitresses walk by look at me. Never ask if I had been helped. Waited over 10 mins for service and ended up walking out. Other people were seated after me and were helped. Very poor service!

Shoney’s was great!The food was good and fresh, and our waitress was very nice. My only small gripe is that there wasn’t a huge selection of food, but what they did have was tasty and well-prepared. Overall, a pleasant dining experience!

Hadn't been to a Shoney's in years but stopped on our travels. Was surprised how limited the menu seemed BUT we stopped merely for a sandwich.
Fast, hot, delicious & the service was friendly and excellent.
