  First time ever visiting a Shoney’s, and I honestly didn’t know it was buffet-style—but what a wonderful surprise. For about $14, the value was excellent. I had two pieces of fried chicken, a piece of baked salmon, a fresh salad, and coffee. Everything was fresh and well prepared. I believe Monday night was BBQ night. What truly stood out, though, was the service and atmosphere. My server, Bri (B-R-I), was absolutely lovely as was Alisha, and the manager (I believe his name was Greg) was warm, welcoming, and clearly proud of his team. You could tell the staff genuinely wanted to be there, and there were lots of happy regulars, which says everything. Even though I’m not usually a buffet person, this felt comfortable, unhurried, and genuinely homey—especially appreciated while traveling. Five stars without hesitation.

  I was disappointed by this visit, especially given positive memories of Shoney’s from years ago. Unfortunately, this location appeared dingy and unclean, including the bathrooms and common areas. The buffet presentation was sloppy, and while the food rating may be acceptable, the overall appearance made it unappealing. Service was friendly but very slow and inattentive, and the buffet selection was limited. Overall, the experience fell well below expectations, and I would not recommend this location.

  Don't waste your time or money! Stopped on our way through town, were greeted and sat without menus assumed our only option was the food buffet where everything looked like it had been sitting out for hours. Soup had a skin on top of it so much so you couldn't tell what kind it even was! 🤢 Salad dressing had a sour taste, selection was overall MINIMAL.

  My first time ever and after this experience, it will be my last. I arrived for lunch at approx 1pm with my fiance. Autumn 🍂 who sat us was polite and attentive as well as our server, Pamela. This is where everything amazing..ends. I got to listen to the "manager" (skinny girl with brown hair pulled back in a clip and a sweater) be absolutely 💯 inappropriate to Autumn in ear shot of the ENTIRE restaurant. She stated that Autumns pants were too short and needed to look a certain way and stated that "she knew she was tired but.." and went on AND on. Autumn obviously embarrassed 😳 stated she would get new pants...you would figure this would end here... but it didn't. The manager continued with berating her at every chance she got. If I had been the employee-I would of politely told her where to go. Meanwhile, Miss Manager: Your floors are STICKY, the backroom extra seating is blocked off for storage of boxes of holiday decorations, the bathrooms are gross 😝, you were nice to the male staff that kept coming out of the kitchen every 10 minutes (especially the guy with the baseball hat 🧢), and the lunch buffet selections made ZERO sense. Strawberry 🍓 Sauce and nothing to put on it, dried out chicken, soup thats been sitting ... NEVER again.
