Shoney’s Family Restaurant

This has to be the worst breakfast I’ve ever had! The buffet eggs are artificial and they taste like plastic with a weird texture. Horrible. The hash brown were stale and again no flavor just frozen hash brown warmed up in a microwave and tossed onto a metal bin. The ham oh lord a pound of salt and pure fat no real meat. I don’t understand how people could look so eager to come eat here this is the worst of the worst. Don’t spend your money or time BUFFET IS $ 10 per person not including beverage for FAKE FOOD all in all Mc Donald’s has a 10star breakfast compared to this.

Much better than expected! Very nice service. Brought our kid goldfish crackers and they ate free! Turkey, fried chicken, stuffing, green beans and cornbread with apple butter were all delicious. Not greasy at all. Some fruit was fresh and delicious (cantaloupe, honeydew melon, kiwi). Peaches were canned, unfortunately.
When I was a kid, the peaches at Shoney’s were delicious. They told us the peaches were from wawona orchards, so my mom started ordering them frozen; shipped from Georgia to Chicago.
I digress. Salad ingredients were also fresh. Not a food destination, but I’d definitely go back if on the road in the South again. Yummy and very inexpensive. Let go of your food snobbery and enjoy.

Terrible absolutely terrible food! Go down the highway a little farther and eat at Applebee’s or the Mexican restaurant. This establishment was very disappointing and did not live up to its name. Food was greasy, overcooked, restaurant was not clean. Food ingredients were not fresh they were frozen and quick thawed — yuck!

The dinner buffet was quite tasty. I liked that they serve breakfast on it. The eggs, cottage potatoes, biscuits and gravy, French toast sticks were all surprisingly tasty. The salad bar had a lot of variety. Our server was the best part. She was very nice, attentive and helpful. Would definitely eat here again when in town

All you can eat southern buffet. Hell yea.
This location is right outside the airport, so if you’re flying in or out, leave room to stop here before you leave. Whoever sits next to you on the plane is going to hate you however.
I had fried chicken (fried nice and hard), steak and gravy, mashed potatos, mac n cheese, green beans with fried onions, fried jalapenos and a big salad. There was much more to choose from but I learned my lesson last Thanksgiving (the Triple Turkey Day as I like to call it) about overeating.
The place was great and super cheap.

If you go other places outside of East Tennessee people will not even konw the name Shoney’s. But in this area, this name is synonymous with buffet style food, much of which is very good and at a very reasonable price. Their fried squash and baked fish is way above the norm and they always have a great selection, I have always loved their buffet, and you even get a nice sot serve vanilla ice cream dessert to boot. Shoney’s is the pinnacle of quality in the buffet world and this Shoney’s location will not disappoint, they have good food and good customer service. You will go back for the low prices if anything.

First time at a Shoney’s. Liked the all you can eat breakfast bar. Especially the biscuits and gravy. Would come back on next visit
