    In the Campbell County area there are only 3-4 options that are family friendly. This is by far the most family friendly choice of them all.

    The buffet is what they are most known for here. It stays pretty fresh and is monitored well. The regular dinner buffet is good but I love the breakfast buffet. For the price and what you can get you cannot beat it.

    Some favorites of mine:

    Apps: Spinach dip is good

    Salad: Salad bar off the buffet is good

    Dinner: Grilled Salmon is good, Double decker burger is very filling. Not too much of a fan of the steamed veggies, perhaps substitute that for another side.

    Dessert: The cookie skillet is awesome

    My rating is 3.75/5.

    This shoneys has changed and not for the better. They have gotten slower and the buffet is really not worth the money. The prices are ridiculous too. I do not recommend this restaurant when not local people ask me where to eat.

    What can I say? It's a Shoney's. I haven't been in years because I remember it as a typical breakfast buffet. Dehydrated Hashbrowns reconstituted to perfection in a warming tray, eggs that were once powder or in a bag/box, canned gravy, once frozen biscuits and sausage patties, a few breaded items filled with apples, canned cheese sauce, and instant grits. It's fast, it's all you can eat, consistently mediocre, and all for around twelve bucks. The coffee wasn't bad and the service was fast and friendly. It is what it is. Shoney's does their thing and it is what it is.

    Food on the buffet is usually not hot and the last time we were there our waitress was pretty nice but I can't get over the food not being even warm so three stars.

    Fair salad bar but dry fried chicken and dumped from cans side items  takes any positive experience into the negative. I think 3 years ago I sat in the same sunken-in booth. I'm sure there's a pattern here and that's the way they want to continue.
    I won't be back,  I tried.
