This is the BEST Shoney’s I have been to in a long time.
The breakfast bar was fresh and clean!

We went to dinner tonight as a family of 5. We walked the buffet and decided some of us would eat that. However, the only thing good was the salad bar and catfish and sweet tea. One person was just adding water to all the things on the buffet to keep the food going. It had a very limited selection. My daughter didn’t eat anything she got like the mac n cheese, ribs, wings, and fried shrimp, instead she ended up eating some of her brothers spaghetti that he ordered from the menu. We should have known when we were the only car in the parking lot at 730, a waitress was walking out and I asked her what was wrong with the place and she said it just died down but the food was all old and cold so I’m not sure how long ago people were there. Also, with us being the only ones in there it was dead silent the entire time, no music or anything so we could hear the entire kitchens conversations.

Me and my mother ate here yesterday for my birthday dinner and the All You Can Eat Bar was sooooo delicious and tasty! The food was hot and fresh! There was variety of what you could pick and eat! We also recommend the dessert and fruit there! Also the All You can Eat Bar was not expensive compared to other restaurants that costs so much more! The waitress was so nice and kind! There is also fast service! Everything was perfect! Me and my family has always loved eating at Shoney's and we definitely recommend eating here! Thank you all at Shoney's and making my birthday special! Definitely we will come back to eat!

Anne greeted us promptly with a sincere smile and then efficiently led us to our table. Helen was a great server with a genuine sense of humor and did a great job! Our Shoney's location in Manchester, Tennessee closed many years ago and this is our first visit to a Shoney's since. This experience was amazing. We will make it a point to come here when back in the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge area.
