Reviews of Shoney's
Bruce Seiler
The service and hospitality were beyond great. My daughters commented on how it was genuine and not just someone looking for a tip. The breakfast foods were great. The eggs cooked as ordered, and the bacon was crispy. Also, they have strawberry pie. We got on to go because we were full from the food.
Larry Holcombe
The staff were very friendly. They really seem to care for the customers. The food was average to mediocre. Most items were bland. The only lettuce they had on the salad bar was iceberg lettuce. Good value for the money though. You won't go away hungry.
Valerie Johnson
We had our Thanksgiving dinner here and it was absolutely wonderful! They had a wide variety in meat & sides. They offered a real sliced turkey and also processed turkey. They said customer's preferred both. I prefer processed and my husband prefers real sliced. The had a beautiful smoked apple ham. Fried chicken, country fried steak, spaghetti & meatballs. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, creamed corn, Mac and cheese, cabbage, and so much more. If people left hungry, I couldn't understand that! They had their beautiful salad & fruit bar & pumpkin pie.
Nothing at all to complain about at all!! ❤️❤️❤️ This is the first time David, Olivia, I have gotten to visit since before COVID and we weren't disappointed at all. I think the price was appropriate per person and we were happy to find Shoney's was open and not just 2 other restaurants further away that was serving no variety. Thank you so much Kanawha BLVD Shoney's for always being delicious and there! 😀
Kristen Gates
Service (waitress) was great, restaurant was clean. The restaurant was definitely a family atmosphere, which was great because we had our 3 young children with us! Every time I went to the bar, there were more and more empty pans of food. Not sure if that’s because they were switching to dinner or what, but it was only 2pm 🤷🏼♀️
Jacob Scott
All the staff is so friendly. Calvin, the gentleman who waited our table gave us the best service we've ever received. He knows how to interact with people and make them feel at home. I would definitely recommend checking this shoneys out!
Barrett Justice
The service was great. Our server was very nice and attentive. The breakfast bar was mediocre across the board. The biscuits are obviously frozen. The sausage was burnt. Some of the food containers were empty. Disappointing.
Judith Pritchett
Very sweet servers but unfortunately cold and odd tasting food when I been there twice recently (only the green beans and mashed potatoes have been satisfying) and I had an odd conversation exiting last time with my food trying to get to go box that I ask the server for and they must have forgotten.. at the front they claimed that you can't leave with their food and I just didn't bother to argue. But yeah. It's worth a shot.
Baby Frank
The breakfast bar had, over baked biscuits , french toast was hard. Had to wait for three dishes to be refilled
But we were blessed to have a gentleman from the military to pay for our breakfast. That was Amazing 😍
Jay Frazier
Had been awhile since we'd been able to eat at this particular franchise, mainly because their far and in between anymore. Food was good as expected and our waiter Calvin was very polite and attentive. Definitely recommend and would return if we happen to be in the area.
Bryan Cook
Great food and service. Would have been an easy 5 star but eggs had a litte bit to much water in them. Other than that great food.
WV Gigi
Food could be better an bigger selection at the bar. It would also be nice if the ice cream machine worked. Most of the ice cream cups in the cooler are freezer burned
Angela Schuchman
Stopped on our way home from visiting family. Everyone was so polite and had positive energy! The food was great!!
Nikki Lange
This is the best Shoney's we have been to. We enjoy Shoney's in general - the prices are decent, the food is usually a step above the average and the selection is much larger than most. They have a good buffet - a large cold food area (fruit, jello, pudding), a large salad bar (including an Asian salad section with sliced strawberries!), a dessert bar, and then a hot food area that has about 20 things to choose from including a few soups. This Shoney's was very clean and felt modern with a bar to sit at and a more open dining area making it easier to move around. They also have a neat gift section including many different items likes stuffed animals, clothing and accessories.
Angel Heaven
I ordered a Slim Jim and a piece of Strawberry pie. The sandwich wasn't good to much dressing. The Strawberry pie was good 😊
Joy S
We had the food off of the bar and it was good. The waitress brought us some hot and fresh catfish and crab cakes. When in the area we will definately visit again.
Amanda
I’m so glad we still have a Shoney’s around. The salad and buffet bar is still delicious. Our waitress was bubbly, singing Christmas songs, and assuring our drinks were refilled.
Life With Kathey
I was disappointed that you can't order much anymore. The bar is 11.99 and has typical stuff. We really wanted made to order but the choices were slim. My mom wasn't totally happy at the choice of restaurant anyway, then she was less than impressed with the food.
Noah Barker
It is classic West Virginia fare, the breakfast bar was delicious but unhealthy. I did enjoy the food but would have like the option to order from a menu.
Linda Burdine
Great friendly service. Great selection of food for breakfast. Love the biscuits ! Clean restaurant but women's restroom needs a professional remodel.
Valerie McVey
We found a table quickly and it was clean, our waitress was beyond friendly and efficient. We all left with a tiny little toy... It was definitely a very pleasant experience.
James Mcdonald
Food was good service was great just needs an up date on the interior. It's like walking into a 1980's shoney's nothing has changed the seats the booths and the buffet bar are still the same.
rk ow
Food and service was good. People's habits were disgusting. Licking and sucking their fingers. Then touching everything. Kept my hands on the table. Was afraid they would try to lick my fingers.
Trevor Goins
My whole family loves shoney's for the buffet and just a friendly atmosphere
Philip Polstra
Took my son here. He had never been to Shoneys before. Both of us had the buffet for lunch and it was great.
Roger Eckenrod
Admittedly, I haven't been to a Shoney's in quite some time, so my memory is being tested. That being said, this visit was disappointing, at least for the breakfast buffet. We were on the late side, for breakfast; that may have have been an issue, but it shouldn't matter. All of the items were plentiful and the buffet was and the facilities were clean.
The service was good. Next time, I believe I'll order from the menu.
Bobby B
Food was good, Staff was friendly.
Service was very good.
Liked the individually wrap frozen desserts!
WVcatfish85
Food was excellent. Price was fair for a buffet. Server was the best. Will be back
Rick Mullins
Very surprised and glad to see a Shoney's in the area. The food and service was just as it was 20 years, my son and grandchildren were very pleased! I will go again and again!
Hank Kimble
I have upgraded my previous review to five stars. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious and they have a new ice cream machine! The service was great. The manager here runs a great place!
Jason Fields
Shocked that almost everything we ate off brunch bar was outstanding!
Jonny Weber
The food was so good! They have a $9.99 buffet with a salad bar and hot food too from 11am till 3pm.
Joseph Kinder
On a budget, this place is for you. Friendly staff. Great food. Clean establishment.
Jacob Jennings
Food was amazing as always, service was excellent
Dan Walker
The food was fine, but the service was not great. We got the breakfast bar that was being transitioned into lunch. It was good. I've had Shoney's many times and enjoyed it. The hostess showed us to our table and it took a while for our waitress to realize we were there and get us silverware and drinks. She said no one told her they'd sat us there. When we left, our check had been paid by someone else by mistake and so they had us pay for that person's check. Luckily the totals were within a few dollars of one another. As we left there was a verbal altercation between staff in the kitchen area that could be heard by most of the restaurant. Overall, just a bleh experience for brunch.
Donald Mayhue
First time in this place. Very impressed! Great food. Friendly people.
Tom
Went there yesterday for lunch, even after reading the negative reviews, and was very happy I went. The waiter was extremely nice and the buffet was great. Spoke with the manager afterwards to let him know how good their place and staff was.
Ron Fowler
Most of the staff is great,cant remember the great waiters name? Slender black man funny AF makes it more enjoyable everytime we go. Nice to have someone think ahead and bring us both 2 drinks and everything we needed without needing to ask him. Will update when recall his name so you can get him to wait your table.Hes truly the best shoneys has to offer. Great job buddy..you know who you are. Sorry forgot your name
Hairy Style
I've been to 3 different Shoyney's this year and they are all different now. Limited menu, more focused on the food bar/buffet option. Food was good. Service Ok. Pricey. I would call and ask what menu items they have and which bar they are offering.
Meagan Carmean
I wish they had more of a variety however at least it's always fresh and service is great.
chris lietz
Very friendly staff and service. Food is fine, lots of heavy Southern dishes.
Yvonne Martin
Everything was good. The selection wasn't huge but was very good. The service was great. The waitress was very accomadating. Looking forward to our next visit.
Patrick Brown
Stopped in for lunch and ate breakfast instead. Good food, great service. You can even plug in usb or 120V chargers while dining at the bar.
Danial Martin
Great selection on the buffet! Food was hot, fresh and delicious 😋! Highly recommend you show up hungry you will leave satisfied! We will overeat there again!
Charlotte Lacy
Just a friendly place to eat. Salad bar is great
Brian K Zimmer
I loved Shoney's from my hometown Richmond, Va. as a child and still do here in Charleston ( its native origin ). Wish there were more around like older times.
Jo-Hanna Chase
Pamela was our server today and she was absolutely phenomenal! We're not from the area and she was super helpful and great with our kiddos! She is more than a 5 star server! Thanks for the awesome service, Pamela!
joey wilson
Seafood bar was great and our server was fabulous
Matt Bucklen
BUFFET REVIEW: For the price this place is a 3 star. The main dishes should stand out if you're gonna charge about the same price as other buffets, who have loads of more items to choose from. The mashed potatoes and all the other southern starch side dishes are good but usually wherever you go they are good. Just kinda bleh buffet overall.
Joseph Kinder
Love the price and and service. Great place to take the family.
Jenny F
Food is pretty good and affordable. Serves all day breakfast 24/7. I ordered wings and taste great! Chocolate fudge was really nice too!
Michael Koehler
It is shoneys Buffett so it is what I expected. The service was ok - the food was good but not really good. They have a senior deal on the buffet so it was a great value. I would stop by again because of the variety of food on the buffet and the senior pricing. The ice cream machine was broken so that was a little disappointing
Nina Higginbotham
Shoney's food to me sucks really bad I hate to say that it's not too badly priced for going to lunch you basically have hamburger spaghetti potatoes Fried Chicken catfish it's not a whole lot of options it's very small but for a small Buffet it's not too bad it's it's around $12 a head for lunch plus your drink if you get water it saves you money
Philip Nicholas
Food quality was not worth the price. Filling, but not really that good.
James Jarrell
I love Shoney's breakfast bar. This place was a great place to stop for breakfast. The staff was very friendly and the buffet bar was stocked with everything you would want. Stop buy and enjoy a great meal.
Morgan Monroe
We had a wonderful server who was really understanding with us having kids but I do believe we may have got the buffet at just the wrong time food wasn’t super fresh and the Mac and cheese had some hair in it
Ron Fowler
So thankful this Shoneys is still here.we love Shoneys and miss the cross lanes and st,Albans ones
James Forester
The food was great the hostess was wonderful the manager Steve was very professional he came to our table and ask about our experience the food and the overall quality and experience was top notch 👌
Terry Adkins
It's been years since we were able to eat at Shoney's. The food was very good and the service was wonderful. But on one of the hottest days the air conditioning wasn't working. Hopefully they were able to get it fixed. Looking to dining there again.
Jonathan Miller (Jonfun)
Shoney's isn't what it used to be but on this day a Philly Cheese Steak and fries hit the spot.
Karen R Hinzman
It was great having our hometown Shoneys back open. Our waitress was so cheerful and efficient. The food was great. The lady at the bar kept it clean and full. Great family place. Good to have them back.
Vickie L Maynard
What a great experience we had!! Our food from the bar was fresh and delicious!! Our server, Pam, was just plain wonderful!! We will definitely be going back and requesting her services!! Thank you Pam for making our experience one to be remembered!! God bless you, you are one fine addition to Shoney's!!!
Daniel Stiles
Food was a bit on the cold side my server was sweet as pie. However one server a male maybe 40 stout black hair and queenish had a really bad attitude complaining very loud about how he makes $2 an hour and shouldn't have to wash a dish because that's not his job title. His general attitude made the entire dining experience horrible. And so I rushed eating and left just a bad vibe. But shayrell my sever was a great personality and I think her name was Katy was a delight she was working hard and had a smile.
Susie Farmer
Had never been to this location but was pleased. Device was friendly, we had the lunch bar everything was great. Only issue was I'd rather they had a bread choice like rolls vs bread sticks.
George Landers
Food on bar was dried up, service was poor.
James Smallridge
First time having Shoney’s in many years since they closed almost all locations. We drove from Huntington area to Charleston on business and were delighted that there was a Shoney’s right where we were going.
Food was excellent and our waitress Cherelle was probably the best waitress I’ve ever experienced. She was very friendly and attentive without being pesty. All the other staff was just as friendly too even the cashier was wonderful.
Jessica Campbell
I was so excited when I realized this area still has a Shoney's! It is exactly as you remember it from the 80s / 90s. They still sell the Shoney's bears up front, along with a wide selection of Shoney's memorabilia that would put CB on edge. Pies are also on sale for takeout. The brunch buffet is unparalleled with all your traditional fixins alongside some healthy favorites.
Idaumi Castro
Great for scheduling get-togethers with friends if you're like 40. The food here is exceptional and the breakfast buffet is amazing. Great little shop area, and very good service.
Dustin Garretson
Breakfast was good something were out but over all it was enjoyable. Love eating here in the mornings you have a good variety and you can eat what ever you want.
Charles Shell
It's been a few years since I've ate at Shoneys. The buffet was really good. The prime rib was excellent as was the shrimp, veggies, and hush puppies. The staff was also super friendly and helpful with our airline vouchers. Great dinner experience.
James Steele
Our waiter Calvin was great. Funny, personable, and overall very good at his job. Food was good. Every staff member we interacted with was very nice.
Jim Gray
Hadn't ate at a Shoney's in a while. Food and service were great. Had the buffet and it was better than the last time I had ate there. I would recommend that they drop the artificial bacon bits from the salad bar they are tacky and tasteless.
Mike Hill
Excellent service. Great food. Homestyle cooking. Friendly staff.
Teresa Smith
Food was great, but our server Pam was the best! Highly recommended requesting her when you go there!
Jack Fondrliak
The food was great - as usual! The waiter left a great deal to be desired. He seemed to be bothered that we expected service from him. Several of us had to go get our own beverage refills. Dishes and glasses stacked up and we moved them to surrounding tables so we could have space to set the dishes we were using.
Rashelle Stiltner
It was very nice and the food was very good. Right now they are only doing the buffet but still was good and glad they are back open. Our waitress Saylor was very sweet and attentive. I appreciate a waiterss who you don't have to ask for a refill. Fantastic service I definitely recommend her.
Tom Koenig
Charleston is where it all began. Now, Shoney's are disappearing. I've never had a bad experience at any Shoney's. It's always good.
Richard Clark
Always loved Shoneys menu. Sorry to see how much they have gone down hill. To much good compition I guess. Never see advertising from them anymore. And most of their restaurants have been leased out and are now something else. And the ones that are left have been poorly maintained.
Archer Grey
Excellent, Donna an absolute delight. The food was delicious and perfect. We have an excellent visit every time we stop in.
Cas S
It was OK. All you can eat bar was fine. Food was hot and replenished fairly quickly. However, I ordered off the menu. That was a disaster. My food was slow coming. Didn't get what we asked for. A very lame reason why we couldn't get what we ordered.
So I guess they r so focused on the all you can eat bar everything else suffers. Thankfully the manager fixed the problems promptly. Gave us 10% off the bill. I felt should been more since food went back 3x and I didn't eat but the bread. Til next time I guess.
April
Had to visit Woody’s favorite spot!! Staff are great and love the breakfast bar!! No wonder Woody loved coming here!! ❤️🇺🇸
Mary Rizzo
You may want to wait a little longer to eat at the Charleston Boulevard Shoney's, as it is only offering its Buffet. Also, not everyone wore a mask, while serving themselves AT the buffet....or plastic gloves...THEY provide. We did, even tho we both were fully vaccinated. Just hope I will not be getting any Covid side effects from the experience. Please exercise caution, as we did!!! 🙏
Tara Tooley
It was ok. Ordered 4 buffets. They did not have any desserts. Was there 2 hours and they didn't put out any cake or pie. I had two very sad boys.
Nancy Ann Petersen
Love the food here you can always find cabbage and potatos and the salad bar has lots to offer mornings they have western eggs and they are so good i love to catch the brunch hours so you can have a little of both for those i don't know what i want moments
truetexas
Always a great to get find a Shoneys on vacation. We love the breakfast buffet.
Elizabeth Howard
The downtown Shoneys recently renovated and added a bar. A real bar! It's only open until 11 p.m. but what an unexpected change.
The food is still the same, which is fair enough. The soup, salad and dinner bar is a favorite, where one can fix what they want and as much as they want, for there are plenty of choices. Just be careful not to over eat! The order menu is a nice option to prevent that behavior, and servers are super friendly and fast.
Joe Cook
Excellent place to grab a buffet and go!
william forsythe
Fantastic place, staff is always very nice and welcoming. Every meal I eaten has tasted like it was made with care. Will definitely be going again.
Bridget Hanshaw
I went on steak and sea food night. The steaks then had on the bar were small I am guessing tenderloins. They were very flavorful. I also had the mashed potatoes. mac and cheese and rolls. Their brown gravy is one my my favorites. Did not try any seafood
ashley johnson
The waitress was really nice but thats all I can say. The food was not what we expected the manager did not seem concerned about are disappointing meal so I doubt we would eat there again.
William Blevins
Overall good experience, my waitress was awesome my only complaint is y'all changed from sausage patties to links. I like the patties better and make more bacon. Honey them people were like vultures on that bacon when that lady would fill it. It would be gone in less than 5 minutes. I watched her refill it 3 times while I was there and every time it would be gone in minutes. Again great experience just like the old sausage patties better.
Mario Dotson
The turkey club sandwich is good but imo that’s about it. Definitely not the Stoneys I remember as a kid.
Anna InNevada
So nostalgic. I'm from Georgia and most of our Shoney's closed. The food was great and tasted just the same as I remembered.
Nick Evans
Food was great as always. Best breakfast bar. Just needs to stock up more quickly. Foods so good it's gone fast lol.
Charles Struble
First time there for dinner. Sorry I got the buffet. Only protein was over cooked chicken or chicken gizzard. Chocolate pudding was good.
Charlie Decker
Food was ok, I got that bar. It's still expensive and when you add 2.50 for a drink it's cheaper to eat at home. The waitress was good , nice and pleasant.
Donna Didone
We spent last Thanksgiving at this Shoney's and the staff was amazing! They really made us feel at home. This was important for my grandmother now that she's at the age of not being able to cook for everyone. Thank you for your hospitality!
Mark Withrow
Had the buffet the eggs are good the French toast sticks were great best grits I've had for a while the bacon was bacon sausage was good the fruit was fresh and juicy and the price was right give the buffet a try
Lauren Nesbitt
We had a decent time. The food wasn't fabulous but our service was. How could it not be when it's a buffet and you pretty much serve yourself? The upsell on the drinks to go should be mentioned. I mean, I guess I should know a to go cup costs extra but the server should have confirmed that during the upsell.
Angela Young
It was a Friday night, and they were not really busy at all. The prime rib/seafood bar was adequate, tho the prime rib was very fatty.( so we didnt try it) our waitress was very friendly, and checked on us often to refill drinks.
Bruce Jones
We ate from the prime rib salad bar. The meat was tough and overcooked. Fish was overcooked.Salad bar was fair. Our waitress was wonderful though. The prime rib didn't look good enough for me to try. The collard greens and green beans with potatoes were salty but really good. Sorry guys.
John Luikart
Food is great service was great.
Shirley Sergent
Waiter was outstanding. Took great care if us.
Coffee was awesome. Very fresh. I had 3 cups. Food excellent
Brooke Adkins
This place has come up within the past year or so. They now have a bar and serve alcohol. They offer very cheap beer (cheapest around town). The food is pretty good. I recommend the hot fudge cake.....so delicious. They even run a special every so often for a free piece of the hot fudge cake.
Richard Clendenin
Fantastic!! Potato soup was the best and the onion rings are great.
Dan Reed
I had the breakfast buffet and coffee, as is my wont. The food was hearty and hot, and sated my carnivorous cravings. The coffee was hot and bitter, like the tears I shed when paying my bills, and the staff was attentive and cordial, unlike myself in social gatherings. I've been going to Shoney's restaurant for fifty years, longer than I've been alive, and they rarely disappoint my gustative requirements.
Of particular note was the kindness shown by the staff, in refilling my coffee. Not only was my waitress attentive and perspicatious of my coffee requirements, but another waitress saw my lowered level of java, and, like God on high granting succor to the Israelites wandering the desert in their time of need, refilled my coffee.
Mike Kinder
Showers used to be a powerhouse. Now it's a mediocre place to eat. Feels like it could use a good cleaning and the food is not good enough to justify the prices
Alaana Maree
Good Service, the food on the bar could've been better. The hot fudge cake was delicious. Family Friendly. I'll give 4 stars. Will definitely come back.
Jessica Bass
It was the seafood bar night it was very good
Teresa Stephens
The service here was wonderful, the food was great and our server Donna was the best. We live about 60 miles away from here but it was well worth the drive for the quality of food and the service. The Shoney's in Huntington can't even compare to this Shoney's.
William parsley
Got the Breakfast Buffet the food is Delicious and the waitresses are always extremely friendly every time I have been there....
Susan Linden
They have a nice variety of breakfast items until 2 p.m. on Sunday. And all day on Wednesday until closing.
Toni Delph
Food was pretty good. Victoria was an awesome waitress. It took 10 minutes for us to get waited on because the person who seated us didn't tell anyone. Then several minutes to get check out because she was busy stocking something.
Wayne Smythe
Go-to place while in Charleston, Has accommodated party of over 30 many different times with a smile. Steve and Kenny manage a great restaurant with friendly staff. Newly updated, looks great inside and out!!! The all you can eat buffet has always been hot and fully stocked. Will continue to enjoy this establishment every time we come to Charleston
Ronald “WVron” Fowler
Most of the good was good and fresh.some of it was overcooked not enough water under it in warmers. Waitress was 1 of the very best we've ever had..MY wife Dar& I enjoyed our nite out and dinner at SHONEYS..WE WILL RETURN. NEED PART BREAKFAST BAR INCLUDED.
Robert Absten
The breakfast bar, with made to order eggs, is still a great deal. Service was fast and friendly, and it was a pretty good price. You won't be wowed by the food but you'll get solid value for your time and money. Worth a stop.
Chrissy Hashman
Super friendly staff. Salad bar is always good. Everything else is typical buffet food, as good as can be expected. Recent remodel includes the addition of a bar which will soon serve beer and wine with a limit of 2 drinks per person.
SM BM
Best onion rings ever!! My grilled chicken sandwich was tasty. Buffet is open, but limited menu during Covid.
Katelyn Jacobs
AMAZING staff! Very friendly
Michael Roberts
breakfast bar Wednesday, + lunch food items. Becky outstanding waitress!
Suzanne Davis
Glad they are open again. Food is good even if only the buffet is all for now. lots of new employees and a few old ones.
Gene Armstrong II
Sunday breakfast bar was messy. The food on the bar had started to show that it was getting old. The bacon cheeseburger and fries madw up for the bar failure.
Robert Johnston
Outstanding waitress. Jessica was friendly and very efficient. Thanks to everyone at this Shoney's my dad and I had a very good experience.
unicorn4676
Awesome as always. If you get a chance to ask for Miss Donna she is an amazing server
Respectful Rebel
I had a nice breakfast at Shoney’s this morning. The restaurant is clean, the food is delicious and the staff is kind and friendly. Thanks to the team at Shoney’s for doing their jobs so well!
Keep rockin Shoney’s of Charleston, WV!
Lanora Evans
First time at this location in Charleston Wva.our waitress Pam was great
Beth Plumley
It's home to a genuine feeling of home town hospitality . Always someone there to do what needs doing. Anything anytime. From serving you just some freshly brewed coffee or tea or fixing flavored coffees or teas , to just appearing with the napkin or straws or refils at the right time. Timing is key. To presenting you with you're updated check to include dessert choices after dinner drinks such as coffees flavored it plain fresh brewed. It's an amazing cup of coffee whether you like them flavored or with cream flavors such as french vanilla Carmel macchiato it sweet Italian cream or just plain half and half creamery. It's all the little touches that get done for every single guest all day long from beginning to ending. Realize every one is loyal to you if the keep coming back or ask for you . If you cannot find uit better anytime anywhere really, anyhow...I make thought want to come back and see us to havardinhg our buffet daily. Even thought it's only changed twice on weekends three times during week
Jim Shorts
This is the best Shoney's that i have been to. The breakfast is always fresh. The bacon is unlimited and the eggs and melted cheese is addicting. This establishment is a safe bet if you are looking for something convenient and satisfactory.
Norma
Waitress was very nice. Kept checking to see if we needed anything even though we had the buffet. Was nice breakfast
F C
Pretty good, still more pricey than it should. Since yall can't see the price on here. 11.49 for evening buffet. There wasnt any desert on desert table, and the ice cream station was gross. The little tubs if icecream was hard as rocks. But mostly food was good.
Robert Long
The employees was very helpful to their customers some of them helped them with their food. Excellent food and very clean. Highly recommend for a place to eat. If I could I would gave them a 10 star
Duke Ellington
The dining experience is always exceptional here. They NEVER disappoint in regards to quality and service. My only request would be an improved dessert bar for my children.
ShaWn Anderson
It's buffet breakfast food.... What ya expect?
Roy Justice
Good food. Got breakfast bar, lot to choose from. Waitress very nice and polite.
Martec Washington
Some staff is just unpleasant. The food was good. But the staff took away from the trip we had there on mother's day at that. But Shoneys is A Great place to get a Bunch of food for cheap downtown.
Rachel Ulman
I enjoyed it very much. Needed rolls. They were out.. few minutes wait to be seated and a few more minutes for a waitress. Ice cream machine didn't work
Billie Kinder
Good food. Good service. But the bar was a bit unattended to. No excuse for that. Most all times we go it looks great.
John Fechter
The inside was set up & designed really cool. The way the gift shop was set up was very cool. This Shoney's was simply unique & has a great view of the mountains.
Shane Scyoc
Like I always say you either like Shoney's or you don't. This one is clean and kept up pretty well. Give it a try!
Steve Karras
Great servers, expected fare.
D Smith
Being that I'm from Florida. It's been a while since i've been to a Shoney's Restaurant. I'd have to say I really enjoyed myself. The server could've been better but I won't complain. The food was delicious...
Ian Dobbins
After an exhausting run I found myself 4 miles from home with no water and no money. I stopped at Shoneys in hope of getting some water. They gave me a smile and some water with no questions asked. THANK YOU!
Customer service 10 out of 10!
Debra Mooney
Service was great. Food was excellent. Delicious fluffy pancakes and great slimjim sandwich. Crispy onion rings. Great job Shoney's employees.
Teresa Sanders
Food was exceptionally good today!
Mo Mo
The staff was helpful. The food was great only had the stomach for one meal not the buffet.
William Luoni
It's nice to have Shoney's back. Even better on Christmas day. Christmas buffet is always great.
Alfred Jones (A J)
Excellent prime rib and seafood buffet, all you can eat for only !17.99. Seafood consist of various types of shrimp, scallaps, fish (variety) crabs, crab cakes, stuffed crabs plus salad and fruit bar with at least two type of soup. Prime rib freshly sliced. With au jus. A large selection for dessert. (Drink and dessert not included in price
Kimberly King
Waitress was on point. Took care of everything wrong. Even gave her an excellent tip. Half of what the bill was
Tami H
First time to Shoneys on 20 years. Was just like I remembered it. Wonderful!!!!!
danielle allen
Old, dingy, food was just ok but their hospitality was nice. It would be nice if the senior discount wasn't only 50 cents off the bill. You read that correctly, 50 cents off.
chris hicks
A winner for breakfast in my book. Probably the first place I went to here in WV that makes a decent pot of grits.
Richard Boyd
This was in Morgantown. Good service and food. Since no one wants to work right now they are only open five days a week from 8-4. Go dems...
Pam Chase
Great place for Sunday buffet, especially for older crowd. Both breakfast and Sunday dinner fare are served. Frequently crowded right after church. Recent remodel makes the place seem cleaner and more spacious.
Mary Squires
The staff were very nice. Restaurant was very clean. We had the buffet and the food was fresh and hot. It was a very good experience overall.
stacey tully
Nice place to eat, nice people working there. They have prime rib and shrimp on the bar on the weekends now. Will be going back for that. They need to get the air conditioner fixed though.

I think my server's name was Cedric. We had a great experience!

Friday night my wife and I chose the all-you-can-eat bar, prime rib and seafood. Good food and good value. The only downside was the temperature was way too hot😓. …
Brett Thompson
I eat at Shoney’s for lunch at least three or four times a month, I like the fried chicken especially the chicken legs, I asked my waitress if they had any more chicken legs and she said they are frying some would be ready in about 15 minutes, the chicken fryer personally brought two chicken legs out my table, fantastic service.
Eric Meadows
We were here during the buffet. Good selection of fresh items. General American comfort foods. Fast friendly services when needing refills and care at the table.
Char Elliott
Love their salad bar. Glad it's opened back up after the pandemic. Though I wish the desert bar would reopen.
Lynn Bellomy
Service was great. Sweet Waitress. Food disappointed. Onion rings were burnt and fish on sandwich much smaller than the last time I ordered.
Lynne Zotzmann
This is by far the friendliest restaurant I have been to in years. I am very picky but walked over from a hotel to get a dessert to go. So friendly!!! Incredible staff!!
David Lawley
Had to drive downtown, but by the river! Had great tasting food both breakfast or lunch you could have off buffet. Friendly staff and nice, clean restrooms!
Geri Legg
Wow...the salad bar was fantastic and my onion rings...only fault was we sit under an air conditioning vent at a booth and the fish and onion rings got really cold fast...the other 2 ladies ate from the bar...
Georgette Alford
Loved that they opened early and that they had grits!! SC native out of state working. Bought a Beenie Baby back pack for my granddaughter. Very good food!!
Chase Williams
Best food around not one thing on that Buffett disappointed me. I would 100% recommend coming here for breakfast, lunch, dinner and any snacks in between
Lynn Goldsberry
NOT a family-style restaurant anymore! Although the food bar DOES have a lot of variety, don't go here if you're looking for a family restaurant like most Shoney's restaurants. Can you believe this one has an alcohol bar? Whatever happened to the old Shoneys that used to have "Family Night" and the Shoney's Bear with balloons?
Anthony Winebarger
Affordable buffet excellent salad makings
Professional Legal Process Services Dunbar WV
Buffet not bad, salad bar fresh. Service could improve and if it had been better would be 4 stars.
Minnie Leonard
Friday is prime rib and seafood. Arrived around 6:30pm 1 piece whole catfish left. This happens on a regular basis. I am not fond of catfish nuggets.
Marie Mason
To my surprise they have renovated and now has a bar and all kind of new goodies. The food was good a need see place.
Starr Leeson
Wish they didn't close so early. Food was good. Nice friendly staff
crboothjr
We very seldom we eat there usually Sundays after church last time maybe a couple two three months ago but the waitress still remembered my grandmother and how she liked her coffee right down to the hazelnut creamer I was very impressed
Sarah Grace
We always like to stop by Shoneys when we are in town. The food is always good and the service is always really nice. They have a cute gift shop as well. An excellent trravel stop or a good meet up for family.
Bobby McCarver
Overpriced. Also, the A/C wasn't working and our server said that it has been broken for 3 years! Don't plan on visiting this location again.
Margaret Tallman
The food was really bland but the service was ok there needs to be more of a variety
On the bar
Aaron trimble
Food was ok. Alot was over cooked had to dig through to get good food. My waiter was awesome though
amber Brumfield
Didn't know it was a buffet so we left but the place was clean and the staff was cool
David Log
Shoneys at quincy has tastier food. Don't know why but it's just fresher and better. Management should go there to eat and see what I'm talking about.
Renee Hunter
Buffet bar. Fish tenders were reminiscent of Arthur Teachers. Fried chicken is always good. Comfort food is always fresh.
Brooke
Food & service was great!🍽️ They were open late so it was one of very places open for late night dinning. Plus they had cool merchandise available to purchase!🛍️ …
Jd Hall
Excellent variety for breakfast. A little pricey but good enough to be ok with it
Gary Hoalcraft
Friendly late night waitress Friday and Saturday during the all night breakfast bar. But, the bar could use some consistency as to what is put on it and items could be kept a little more fresh.
J K C
I don't always like the food that well, but I always seem to get the best waitresses. That certainly helps to make dinners better.
Hayes Natasha Shamblin
Never went here yet it appears in my Maps Timeline as a visited place so I am unsure of why this is showing up. Last I visited this place, I was not impressed. The Shoneys in Belle or Quincy is much much better and cleaner and nicer. Go there instead of here.
Brian Markland
A refreshing change from the usual restaurants
Jay Bradley
Very clean and the bar was always stocked and fresh . Just watch out for town pigs they will push you down for the biscuits.
Albert Tinsley
Eat here often. Food has always been good and fast. Atmosphere is nice. Servers are always great.
Keyth Danielsen
Excellent breakfast and lunch buffets. And the staff is top shelf.
Tim Graham
Clean, people were extremely nice, and though I didn't taste everything on the buffet, it was all fresh and delicious! I will stop again if ever in town.
T-Sin
It's an ok place to have breakfast, but our server Robyn at the Kanawha Boulevard location was AMAZING!!!! She should be an example to all servers!!!!
Christina Abbott-Leclercq
Food was great.. the manger Steve is wonderful..he is the most sweetest manager I've ever come to know at any restaurant I've ever visited..
Rowan Cook
We would gladly travel 100 miles to share their food. But we are kind of prejudiced - growing up on it for so many years. Sorry that many are closing.
David Birley
Service great. Some of the food on the hot bar was cold. Bathroom clean, but always has sewer smell.
Justin King
Hands down, the best Shoney’s I’ve ever been to! So good!! I will be back!
.Michael Ruff
I havent seen a shoneys in 20 years and it was worth the wait. Very good food and my waitress was delightful. I dined at the shoneys in charleston west virginia location.

Manager need to learn some manners. He asked a girl to clean a table on a very disrespectful way

Linda Norris
Fresh food on the buffet and great choice
JD Nicholson
The service was wonderful. Our server was Barbara. We ordered steak with buffet. The steak had a wonderful taste and was tender.
PolyMath
This place was very unique, the service was fantastic. If an out of town visitor was to go out to eat, this original restaurant would be the place.
Karl D.
The thanksgiving buffet was ok. Shoney's is never the best food, but for the price it was good. The turkey was really good.
Mike Scarbro

Faye Jones
Harry is the best waiter. He offered us great service. Definitely will be comming back and asking for Harry.
Pella Method of Queens
The flagship Shoney's franchise. This would be a hard 5 if it weren't for the fact that Fox News is always playing on the TV. Salad Bar is legendary.
Ronald Fowler
Food needed replenished at BAR. Was a tad bit dirty inside..was little overcharged but didn't realize till got home. But people were nice.
David Gentry
The service was great me and the food was terrific all the employees was very nice treat me with respect I would guarantee Shoney's to anyone
OldDragonLady#1
Needs a remodel. In bad shape. Accosted by wait staff manager like a street fight. Lacks professionalism. Fired I guess, they should hope.
Marie Dorsen
Shoneys is a great place to eat! You just have to make sure everything like lettuce/ salad bar is fresh

Buffet seemed a bit expensive for what was available. Food was ok, nothing exceptional. Place looks old - could use some updating.

Usually I'm a huge fan of shoneys but this one was not to great. Also one of the managers sounds like Mator off the movie Cars. Listen for him if you're there.
