Shoney’s

Was hoping that Shoney’s was going to be good but not. Told my husband by the way the parking lot was empty it wasn’t a good sign and it wasn’t.
NThe buffet was extremely small. The food was dry and tasteless. The steak that my husband got was terrible. Like he said he couldn’t tell if it was steak or possum. Very greasy and the worst cut of meat there was. Couldn’t tell if it had been boiled or fried. Chicken tasted like it had been setting under the hot light all day. Just not good at all.
We couldn’t finish anything on our plates. Even after walking away from it and pay almost $ 40 all they could say to us is that they were sorry (we know that already) and come back and try us again. I don’t think so .
P. s. Didn’t even try to give us any kind of refund. You they could clearly see we didn’t eat and didn’t like it. It would have been different if we had set there and eat plate after plate and then complained but we didn’t. We got one plate each tasted it and walked away.

This is the first Shoney’s I have visited since the Shoney’s on Piedmont in Atlanta closed. Since I’m traveling with my elderly mother who has Alzheimers, I thought this would be a good place for lunch.
We both had the $ 6.99 buffet. I made both of our plates. Mom had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, okra and creamed corn. I had a couple of small pieces of fish, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and potato salad. With all if that fat ridden food, we each had very small portions.
Of course, Mom loved her food. She ate nearly everything. I hadn’t eaten in nearly a day, so I was really hungry. It is obvious that most of the buffet items are not prepared from scratch. The potatoes and okra are definitely pre packaged. I think the macaroni and cheese was also instant, but it was really very good. The potato salad was too sweet and it sucked.
Anyway, for $ 6.99, you can eat all the high quality pre packaged food you desire. My reviews are usually based on quality, service and price. If I had paid over $ 20 for this meal, I would have given this place 2 stars. If you’re a big eater, this will be a paradise for the money. Most of the menu items were priced over $ 6.99, so who wouldn’t choose the buffet?

if you like american southern style foods this is a great place to stop. the buffet is great with many selections from eggs to french toast, biscuits and gravy, a salad bar and a fruit bar. my kids like it for the options and its alright for me and my wife. the staff at this location was very friendly and we were taken well care of.
