Shoney’s Restaurant-Corporate

Food was old, waitress was nice. Everyone worked there looked nasty! Manager was loud and rude. Conversations were being held while assisting customers. The salad bar was old (lettuce) and the buffet wasn’t fresh. The bathrooms were awful, no napkins… no soap but had a good air freshener. Glass from drink was filthy like it hadn’t been washed with soap. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to eat at this location

This place is horrible!!! No one up front to seat us. Got to our table and our feet stuck to the carpet. They have never been cleaned… EVER!!! Waitress seemed upset that she had to do her job. Air was not working, shall I even continue. No plates at the breakfast bar. NOR WAS THERE ANY FOOD. OMG. WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN WHEN WE VISIT NASHVILLE.

Can’t really complain it’s a buffet! Good cheap food got to love it. Staff is good also.

To preface this, I didn’t grow up in the south, so didn’t have the pleasure of dining at Shoney’s until relatively recently, upon moving to TN. As such, my view of Shoney’s might be slightly different than it would be had I been raised in the area.
Now for the review. I like this place. I’ve had brunch their twice, the buffet each time. It’s cheap — maybe $ 7, and it’s on a road named «interstate Dr,» so it’s not going to be gourmet. If you want gourmet, pay a few extra bucks and travel up the street to five points. If you want something that’s fast, filling, cheap, and unlimited, come to Shoney’s.
This place is surprisingly well run. The two times I went it wasn’t too busy, and it seems clean and fresh. I’ve only had their buffet, so I can’t comment on other menu items, but for $ 7, it’s quite a deal. As a bonus, you don’t have to wait around for long to get seated, so it’s good if you want to get food in a hurry. The coffee isn’t bad, either.
This place is also great for people watching. The people who dine at Shoney’s are an interesting bunch, and because of the location there’s a lot of variety. Lots of cute kids, too. Overall, a good place to eat if you want to stuff our face with breakfast food and be on your way.

I have been to this location several times. I also go often at lunch. I had started to get upset with the buffet at lunch because of the same menu everyday. Fried Chicken or bite sized meat loaf was the only meat everyday. Fridays they would have catfish but if you do not get there before 12 it usually all gone and they never make anymore fish. I was very bored with their buffet menu at lunch. Buffets should have a variety. My biggest turn off for this location was when a facebook friend of mine posted a picture of their cantelope on the buffet that had a roach in it. I am so repulsed by this that I will never ever eat there again. The manager I was told was not very helpful about this incident as well. Come on Shoney’s let’s do better.
