"Big portions. Good price."
Got a lot of food for what I paid. Really filling. Left stuffed

"Quick and easy stop"
The food came out quicker than I expected, and the staff were attentive, so we didn’t end up waiting around much. It’s not necessarily a place I’d go for a long, relaxed meal, but if you’re in a bit of a hurry, it’s a solid option

"Food was okay, but the mess was ridiculous"
The food was fine, nothing amazing but good enough. The staff seemed nice, but the place felt messy. Tables weren’t getting wiped down fast enough, and the bathroom definitely needed some attention. It was kind of ridiculous because it really took away from the whole visit. I’d probably come back if they kept things cleaner.

"I ordered dinner from shoneys.com and was genuinely..."
I ordered dinner from shoneys.com and was genuinely surprised by how good it was. The chicken showed up hot, the sides tasted fresh, and the rolls were soft instead of dry, which feels like the bare minimum every place ought to care about but not all of them do.
The portions were solid too. It wasn’t trying to be fancy, just honest comfort food that tasted the way it should. When a place gives you a fair meal for what you paid, that matters to me, and I’d definitely order again

"Usually easy to find nearby"
I’ve used this spot a handful of times now, and it’s been in a good location each time. It’s usually just a short walk from where I need to be, so it makes things simple.

"Food was just okay"
I ordered through shoneys.com and it was fine, but nothing I’d be excited to order again. Some of the food tasted like it had been sitting around for a while, so it didn’t feel as fresh as I was hoping. It wasn’t awful or anything, I’m just kind of tired of paying for food and ending up with something that feels a little tired too.

"Breakfast was okay, nothing too special"
I stopped by Shoney’s for breakfast and it was fine, in that dependable, you-pretty-much-know-what-you’re-getting kind of way. The buffet had the usual eggs, bacon, biscuits, fruit, and a few other basics, so at least they didn’t try to get too creative with it.

Some of the food was warm enough, though a couple things definitely seemed like they had been hanging out there longer than I had. The coffee was decent, and the server was really nice, which helped the whole experience more than the food did.

Overall, it wasn’t bad for a quick breakfast if you’re already nearby and not feeling picky. I wouldn’t exactly plan my morning around it, but for something average, it managed to be perfectly acceptable.

"Decent buffet, but I expected an apology"
The buffet had a good variety of choices, so that part was fine. However, something about the experience felt off, and I expected at least a quick apology from the staff. It wasn’t a terrible visit, but a little acknowledgment would’ve made it better

"Pretty nice spot for a quick dinner"
Stopped in for a quick dinner and it was a cozy place overall. It was maybe a little on the noisy side, but still comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the meal.

"Fine, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way"
Shoney’s was alright, but I left feeling like it wasn’t quite worth what we paid. The food was decent enough and the portions weren’t bad, but nothing really stood out, and I kept thinking the price felt a little high for what it was. I wouldn’t say it was a terrible experience, but it was more forgettable than anything. If I was already nearby and needed a quick meal, I might stop in again, but I definitely wouldn’t make a special trip for it.

"Pretty good experience overall"
I had a good experience using Shoney's. It was easy to find the info I needed, which made me feel less frustrated than I expected. A few pages did load a little slowly, and that was kind of annoying in the moment, but it didn’t really ruin the experience for me. Overall, I left feeling happy with it.

"Nice staff, but a average visit"
The staff were friendly and polite, which I appreciated, but the service felt a little slow overall. Nothing was really bad, but nothing stood out either. Personally, I’d say it was just an okay experience.

"Good breakfast, no complaints"
Tried the breakfast bar and left happy. Most of it tasted fresh, especially the biscuits and sausage. Eggs were a bit plain, but fine. I’d eat here again.

"I ordered through shoneys.com, and overall the..."
I ordered through shoneys.com, and overall the food showed up fine. I was in a decent mood at first because the process was easy and dinner was basically handled.
The main meals were right, so that was a relief, but one of the sides was wrong and we were missing a sauce that we paid for. It wasn’t the end of the world, but after getting everything home and sitting down to eat, it definitely put me in a slightly annoyed mood.

The food itself tasted okay, and the website was simple enough to use. I’d probably order again, but I really hope they double-check the bags better next time so the little stuff doesn’t take the shine off the meal.

"Super easy online order with no issues"
I ordered online from Shoney's, everything went smoothly from start to finish. The checkout process was quick and simple, which I appreciated because I wasn’t trying to spend a bunch of time figuring out where to click or re-entering information. My pickup time was accurate too, so I didn’t have to stand around waiting or wonder if my order was even ready. When I got the food, everything was correct, which is always a relief because sometimes with online orders something small gets missed. Overall, it was just an easy, no-hassle experience.

"Pretty good, but maybe a bit limited"
The menu has some decent options, and I think most people could probably find something they like. After a couple visits though, it starts to feel a little repetitive. Not bad at all, but I’d say it could use a bit more variety.
