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.

If it came down to eating out of a garbage can or walking through these doors again ill be buried in garbage.
Avoid at all costs, completely disgusting and the worst 50 something bucks I ever spent.

This is probably one of the worst Shoneys I have been to, which surprised me being in the tourist town of Summersville. Our waitress never came to the table after she brought the drinks, not a refill, not to take some plates away, and not even to bring the bill. We walked up to the front where she kept telling us she had forgotten we were there. After the third time of telling us we were forgotten i finally spoke up and asked her to quit saying it. So as we were finally paying she slid the card reader over and kept saying theres a zero option for the tip, which we would never do even for bad service. When she realized she was actually getting a tip she did get a bit nicer. Anyway, the resteraunt is not the cleanest and the table we sat at felt gritty. I can say that even the restroom was not a surprise when it wasnt the cleanest, but it did smell really nice. Not sure what kind of freshener they use but it smells really good. Because there wasnt a large crowd the food was a bit overcooked and dry on top from the heat lamps, even the soup needed stirred as it was like a sticky sheet on top and stuck to the serving spoon. Not to mention there was a guy on the outside speaking abusive language as we left. So, if you like overpriced food for not the greatest and horrible service, THIS, this is your place, otherwise you might want to make sure there are more than 2 cars in the parking lot. Lesson learned.
