Pros: Right off the freeway. Cheerful and friendly staff. Cons: Sticky floors, messy chair, dirty cup. Cold food, greasy onion rings, must have run out of salt in the kitchen. Three adult meals and two kids meals set us back about $45. *sigh* My husband remembers enjoying eating at Shoneys as a kid and this experience ruined any chance of... More

We stopped here on the way home from Gatlinburg. At 10:30 they had a breakfast bar and lunch bar up. Everything was excellent. We expecially enjoyed the fried chicken, catfish, and meatloaf. Very good price - about $7.

Shoney's as always had a very friendly atmosphere and the food was great. Lots of choices to choose from on the food bar.

We had the buffet and it was hot and yummy. My husband loved the fish and I loved the pot roast. Good value.

Stopped here on a road trip, my husband must have had good memories of a Shoney's somewhere in his past, but I didn't have very high expectations. It was mediocre, we had the buffet...but my 6 year old liked the fried chicken. I had a couple pieces of catfish, green beans and mashed potatoes from the buffet but that was... More

We ate here for breakfast. It filled our bellies, but that was it. Fruit was not ripe. Everything else was bland (we got the buffet). Would not eat at Shoney's again.

Went here with my family whilst on road trip and staying at hotel up the road. It was 'seafood night' which my family loved. They had crab legs and so on, nothing too amazing. I don't like seafood so ordered from the menu. The steak was not bad and got to have soup and dessert included. Small kids are free... More
