Shoney’s Restaurant

Unbelievably horrible. I’ve never had a bad Shoney’s experience until checking into this one. The food tastes and smells like it’s been kept and cooked in unclean equipment. The variety of the buffet is almost nil. Our waiter wouldn’t greet us in the lobby; but instead, gestured from the far side of the restaurant, with a look of displeasure because I wasn’t expecting that method of hosting. The table top was sticky. And, there was a prevailing smell of something which I can only describe as similar to milk vomit. This place deserves inspection – probably has needed one for a long time.

Unfortunately I used to work here many many years ago and it is NOT well kept. The kitchen, bathroom, and so called break area was highly disgusting and hardly cleaned. The office area was small and nasty. People smoked in the back area and left ashes all over the place. Some of the staff was unprofessional. The entire restaurant was filthy and did at one point have an insect problem. The reason I’m writng this review is because I had a relative visiting from Illinios and she stopped here to eat not long ago. Based on her experience nothing has changed and she will not return. She said the servers were unfriendly, loud, bad smell, just entirely nasty. I hate to say this, but being a past employee I’m surprised this place is still open. Should remodel the place or either shut it down.

I wish I could leave 0 stars. Please do not eat here. A red flag should have gone up when there was no one eating there at noon on a Friday. I’m not sure if the a/​c was broken or they just weren’t running it. The place is in dilapidated condition. The servers were unfriendly and did not know about a lot of things on the menu. When I received my drink, there was something black stuck to the inside of the glass. :(We had a party of 8 and they brought out 7 of our meals and the last meal came as everyone else was finishing theirs. Please do not eat here.
