Reviews of Shoney's
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.
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.
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! 😀
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 🤷🏼♀️
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!
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.
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.
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 😍
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.
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.
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
Stopped on our way home from visiting family. Everyone was so polite and had positive energy! The food was great!!
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.
I ordered a Slim Jim and a piece of Strawberry pie. The sandwich wasn't good to much dressing. The Strawberry pie was good 😊
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great friendly service. Great selection of food for breakfast. Love the biscuits ! Clean restaurant but women's restroom needs a professional remodel.
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.
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.
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.
My whole family loves shoney's for the buffet and just a friendly atmosphere
Took my son here. He had never been to Shoneys before. Both of us had the buffet for lunch and it was great.
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.
Food was good, Staff was friendly.
Service was very good.
Liked the individually wrap frozen desserts!
Food was excellent. Price was fair for a buffet. Server was the best. Will be back
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!
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!
Shocked that almost everything we ate off brunch bar was outstanding!
The food was so good! They have a $9.99 buffet with a salad bar and hot food too from 11am till 3pm.
On a budget, this place is for you. Friendly staff. Great food. Clean establishment.
Food was amazing as always, service was excellent
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.
First time in this place. Very impressed! Great food. Friendly people.
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.
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
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.
I wish they had more of a variety however at least it's always fresh and service is great.
Very friendly staff and service. Food is fine, lots of heavy Southern dishes.
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.
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.
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!
Just a friendly place to eat. Salad bar is great
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.
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!
Seafood bar was great and our server was fabulous
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.
Love the price and and service. Great place to take the family.
Food is pretty good and affordable. Serves all day breakfast 24/7. I ordered wings and taste great! Chocolate fudge was really nice too!
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
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
Food quality was not worth the price. Filling, but not really that good.
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.
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
So thankful this Shoneys is still here.we love Shoneys and miss the cross lanes and st,Albans ones
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 👌
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.
Shoney's isn't what it used to be but on this day a Philly Cheese Steak and fries hit the spot.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
Food on bar was dried up, service was poor.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent service. Great food. Homestyle cooking. Friendly staff.
Food was great, but our server Pam was the best! Highly recommended requesting her when you go there!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent, Donna an absolute delight. The food was delicious and perfect. We have an excellent visit every time we stop in.
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.
Had to visit Woody’s favorite spot!! Staff are great and love the breakfast bar!! No wonder Woody loved coming here!! ❤️🇺🇸
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!!! 🙏
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.
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
Always a great to get find a Shoneys on vacation. We love the breakfast buffet.
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.
Excellent place to grab a buffet and go!
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.
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
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.
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.
The turkey club sandwich is good but imo that’s about it. Definitely not the Stoneys I remember as a kid.
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.
Food was great as always. Best breakfast bar. Just needs to stock up more quickly. Foods so good it's gone fast lol.
First time there for dinner. Sorry I got the buffet. Only protein was over cooked chicken or chicken gizzard. Chocolate pudding was good.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
Food is great service was great.
Waiter was outstanding. Took great care if us.
Coffee was awesome. Very fresh. I had 3 cups. Food excellent
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.
Fantastic!! Potato soup was the best and the onion rings are great.
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.
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
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.
It was the seafood bar night it was very good
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.
Got the Breakfast Buffet the food is Delicious and the waitresses are always extremely friendly every time I have been there....
They have a nice variety of breakfast items until 2 p.m. on Sunday. And all day on Wednesday until closing.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Best onion rings ever!! My grilled chicken sandwich was tasty. Buffet is open, but limited menu during Covid.
AMAZING staff! Very friendly
breakfast bar Wednesday, + lunch food items. Becky outstanding waitress!
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.
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.
Outstanding waitress. Jessica was friendly and very efficient. Thanks to everyone at this Shoney's my dad and I had a very good experience.
Awesome as always. If you get a chance to ask for Miss Donna she is an amazing server
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!
First time at this location in Charleston Wva.our waitress Pam was great
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
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.
Waitress was very nice. Kept checking to see if we needed anything even though we had the buffet. Was nice breakfast
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.
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
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.
It's buffet breakfast food.... What ya expect?
Good food. Got breakfast bar, lot to choose from. Waitress very nice and polite.
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.
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
Good food. Good service. But the bar was a bit unattended to. No excuse for that. Most all times we go it looks great.
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.
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!
Great servers, expected fare.
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...
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!
Service was great. Food was excellent. Delicious fluffy pancakes and great slimjim sandwich. Crispy onion rings. Great job Shoney's employees.
Food was exceptionally good today!
The staff was helpful. The food was great only had the stomach for one meal not the buffet.
It's nice to have Shoney's back. Even better on Christmas day. Christmas buffet is always great.
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
Waitress was on point. Took care of everything wrong. Even gave her an excellent tip. Half of what the bill was
First time to Shoneys on 20 years. Was just like I remembered it. Wonderful!!!!!
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.
A winner for breakfast in my book. Probably the first place I went to here in WV that makes a decent pot of grits.
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...
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.
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.
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😓. …
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.
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.
Love their salad bar. Glad it's opened back up after the pandemic. Though I wish the desert bar would reopen.
Service was great. Sweet Waitress. Food disappointed. Onion rings were burnt and fish on sandwich much smaller than the last time I ordered.
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!!
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!
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...
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!!
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
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?
Affordable buffet excellent salad makings
Buffet not bad, salad bar fresh. Service could improve and if it had been better would be 4 stars.
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.
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.
Wish they didn't close so early. Food was good. Nice friendly staff
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
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.
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.
The food was really bland but the service was ok there needs to be more of a variety
On the bar
Food was ok. Alot was over cooked had to dig through to get good food. My waiter was awesome though
Didn't know it was a buffet so we left but the place was clean and the staff was cool
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.
Buffet bar. Fish tenders were reminiscent of Arthur Teachers. Fried chicken is always good. Comfort food is always fresh.
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!🛍️ …
Excellent variety for breakfast. A little pricey but good enough to be ok with it
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.
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.
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.
A refreshing change from the usual restaurants
Very clean and the bar was always stocked and fresh . Just watch out for town pigs they will push you down for the biscuits.
Eat here often. Food has always been good and fast. Atmosphere is nice. Servers are always great.
Excellent breakfast and lunch buffets. And the staff is top shelf.
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.
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!!!!
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..
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.
Service great. Some of the food on the hot bar was cold. Bathroom clean, but always has sewer smell.
Hands down, the best Shoney’s I’ve ever been to! So good!! I will be back!
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.
Buffet only. No menu service. A little wierd they can fix you something in the kitchen but no menu????
Quick, Easy and Delicious 😋. Always receive great service with a smile. …
Quick lunch with the buffet. Waitress was cheerful & helpful. Food was ok. Can hardly get through the lobby for all the merchandise.
Always good when I go. Sald bar is good and so is the fried chicken
Good service. Very good burger.
Manager need to learn some manners. He asked a girl to clean a table on a very disrespectful way
We visited with relatives including 5 kids under the age of 12. It's a great set up for kids, the food was good enough, and the staff was uniformly kind and helpful.
Come here every time I am in Charleston. Ask for Barb. Great server. I love the Fish and Chips.
The service was excellent and the breakfast bar had more food than any other shoneys I've seen.
Harry my server was exceptional. Food was good. Nice and fresh. Hostess was also very friendly.
The breakfast bar and salad bar are always nice and kept maintained, plus they have their license now for beer/wine.🍺🍷 …
Fresh food on the buffet and great choice
The service was wonderful. Our server was Barbara. We ordered steak with buffet. The steak had a wonderful taste and was tender.
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.
The thanksgiving buffet was ok. Shoney's is never the best food, but for the price it was good. The turkey was really good.
🤗😁 this place is always a great restaurant to eat with wonderful people and great food and great service to be at during any holidays. I love this place 😊 …
It was very clean, the food offered on the breakfast bar was delicious! The staff was very pleasant.
Enjoyed their breakfast buffet. Our waitress was very nice. Great coffee!
One of the last remaining locations nearby. Hope it stays around for a very long time. Good service, great food, fair prices.
Certainly one of the better Shoneys I have been to - all the good was fresh and the bar was well stocked. Very clean and the staff was very friendly.
The food was delicious and service was remarkable and prices are good.
Not what it use to be. It does have the food bar.
Haven't been to Shoney's for many years for breakfast buffet, was very good. Waitress, Jennifer, was very attentive and friendly.
Harry is the best waiter. He offered us great service. Definitely will be comming back and asking for Harry.
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.
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.
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
Needs a remodel. In bad shape. Accosted by wait staff manager like a street fight. Lacks professionalism. Fired I guess, they should hope.
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.
Buffet food is typical but okay tasting. However the menu is a step up. Food is real good. Service is friendly
All they offered was the buffet, very limited choices and quantity. Most offerings ran out, slow to refill.
Good food, average service. It was clean and the food was actually to the table pretty quickly.
Good clean place to dine on the cheap for vegetarian or non vegetarian alike. Very friendly staff. Close to Tesla parking charger too.
Went here for lunch today. The staff was friendly. Even woth the lunch rush our waitress was very polite.
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.
I love Shoney's, it's an inexpensive and I love their coffee and strawberry pie! Happy Thanksgiving
Food was good waitress was nice and we were in and out within an hour
Love breakfast buffet
Awesome place to eat.ive had that breakfast bar. For family sit down go to shoneys
Bar was great, always good for a great salad!!
Good food, couldn't believe and don't like the fact that they now have a bar inside
I eat here at least twice a month, the food is good with reasonable prices. If you can, get Dolly as your waitress.
It was a wonderful clean friendly atmosphere food was fresh & the bar was very clean would recommend this Shoneys highly
Nice clean Place friendly people my opinion the food is not so great but it's a okay place if you're hungry
Salad bar was good. Enjoyed the collard greens on the food bar. Fried chicken was also good.
They have a bar now. It took aprox 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged.
This is a place to go, taking patience with you.
Breakfast buffet was open. Awesome food. Friendly service.
Food was fresh on the salad bar, the wait staff was pleasant and accommodating
You can't beet the salad bar. And hot food. Easy to get to. Good service
Always great service.... Food always hood.
Just turn off the News on the TV.
Nobody wants to hear news all the time.
Food very fresh, service is fantastic, doesn't get any better for Charleston
A year before always get excellent service the food is good the waitresses are very nice always tip your waitresses.
Food was good but it was over priced and selection wasn't the greatest
Friendly, efficient staff and food pretty good for a restaurant⁉️
Classic taste that I can't duplicate. Try an Italian feast. Spaghetti, Meat Sauce, breaded Chicken breast ( not a chicken patty)
The staff and service is great... ive never had any problems there and if something pops up they take care of it right away.
I got a to go order and when I arrived hone , they gave me the wrong sandwich which was good ;I just had my tastebuds set on what I ordered. I will go back.
Our server was so friendly and funny.
haven't been to a shoney's stop this one .checkout there buffet . im not big on breakfest glad to see there was salad on the buffet. ask for teri
The buffet was delicious and our server was very polite.
This is my absolute favorite place for Sunday brunch! The buffet is very well priced and has a great variety of food.
Good food, decent service. However the building is in need of some repairs to the table, chairs, and tiles.
They had everything great and waitress are fast and get you anything you need or want.
Had Christmas dinner there. The buffet was kept full and fresh. The food was excellent.
Shoney's has great service. They also have a great food bar with a lot of variety.
Great service and good food. I love the potato soup from the buffet!
Love the lunch buffet. Wish there was a better desert selection, but that is all that is lacking.
Food is always fresh, just wish I didn't have to go to Charleston to eat here.
The lunch bar was very clean as was entire restaurant. Service very friendly. Food , bland, not like it used to be but it was still very good
We had the buffet. It was wonderful.
Went in for the memories of childhood, not as great as we remembered as kids but the employees were great
Was so looking forward to Shoneys opening back up. Was not disappointed!! Still awsome!!!
Wed eve with friends, great service and the waiter staff are great, my shrimp was over cooked, they are now open 24 hrs
This Shoney's has great food the bar is well kept and some of the best servers in WV.
Service was fantastic!! But all of the food was over cooked, dry, or slightly burnt.
Shoneys in Charleston, West Virginia was so clean and the food and service was great!!! I certainly recommend this restaurant!
Long time since we ate here. Was very pleased with food and service.
