Bland tasteless yuck. If you're old or poor then this is the place to go otherwise pass it by.

My sister and I stopped here three weeks ago. I had misgivings before going in, as the outside was so messy and overgrown that we couldn't tell if the restaurant was even still in business. We went inside and there wasn't any soap in the restroom for the employees to wash their hands before going back to work. I had a really bad feeling about the cleanliness of the place and we left without even sitting down at a table. I have to give at least a one star rating in order to leave a review or I would give it a zero.

Not the shoenys of 90s. Buffet was excellent.
I should 1 star for no country fried steak. But our waitress tried to get it. She had just started back a for a couple days after not working there for years.
So it's definitely different, but still good.

All the plates were dirty and the selection of food pales compared to other Shoneys. It is the worst one of all of them. Management issues??
