We came all the way from Huntsville, I've always drove past while on the road for work. Food was excellent made a happy plate and Staff made sure you're taking care of too! read more

I have always liked this Shoney's. I used to live about 12 miles north of Fayetteville, but I have moved to Coffee County. I don't eat there as much as I used to, but it is worth the hour drive for me to still come and enjoy the good food and excellent service. read more

Friendly staff, clean environs, consistently good food. Well stocked, tasty and bountiful buffet...Sunday breakfast and lunch items. My favorite: STRAWBERRY PIE with REAL whipped cream. Nice, professional people. Thanks, Lisa and dimples! read more

Great staff, food was awesome and the place was well staffed. The place was what shoney's is supposed to be like, very clean.

This visit to Shoney's was pretty much as usual. We came this time for an early dinner. The place is an older Shoney's, and looks like an older one. There's a big fan inside the front entrance to add extra coolness. We both decided on the food bar. The food was okay, nothing special. I'm sure the time of day we were eating didn't help. Honestly, we should have ordered from the menu. Our server was great! Very prompt and attentive. Would we come back again? I'm sure so, but not for the afternoon food bar read more

I haven't had Shoney's since I was a kid in the early 90's. It was wonderful. It was full on Nostalgia and the food was great. Our server William was phenomenal. The steaks were medium rare and perfect. read more

Went to the breakfast buffet and it was full of choices, with LOTS of hot crispy bacon, fried chicken nuggets, sausages, scrambled eggs, fluffy biscuits and that's just the highlights. We were amazed at the variety of fresh fruits, too and our server (Will?) kept our tea glasses full the whole time we were there. This is the best Shoney's I have ever been to. read more

I went here for breakfast and prior to this visit all I had known about Shoney's was hearing it mentioned in several country songs. I have to say that I found it pretty subpar. Service was friendly, but uninformed. One point was when one of my party asked if they could have an egg white omelet and the server had a look akin to a deer in the headlights. I offered the server that I could actually explain to the cooks how to separate the egg whites from the yolks, but he went to the kitchen and came back saying that they could. There are not many breakfast places in Fayetteville, so I cannot say for certain that I won't return, however, it is not something that I am dying to return to. read more

Giving it one star for the service and fried potatoes. This place needs to close down for a couple of weeks and have everything deep cleaned. The ceiling tiles and vents are black throughout the restaurant. The window blinds were covered in grime. The floor was slippery from a coating of grease. The seats in the booths are starting to crack. The entire place needs a good scrubbing and refresh. I would not go back. read more

We end up eating at this Shoney's location OFTEN -- yeah, it can be Hit or Miss at times, but generally the food ranges from decent to good. For example, a few weeks back, my fiancee thought her steak was awesome, but the steak she received this morning was overdone. Like I said, Hit or Miss. But Shoney's is still a "Safe Bet" if you are wanting to eat in the town of Fayetteville -- for the most part, the other choices are limited and the food tends to be sub-par. We like the breakfast buffet more than the lunch buffet. Loved the seasonal pancakes they served this Fall (Gingerbread just before Christmas, Pumpkin earlier in the Fall season). Salad bar is pretty good also. Service is always great, staff is very friendly and attentive. read more

Where to start... The salad bar needed filling. The Cole slaw , I would bet I is out of date or very close. It had a funky taste. The food bar just didn't excite me in the least. Our table still has used plates but I did get the check. First and last time here.... read more

Unfortunately we decided to eat the buffet at Shoney's on Wednesday not realising it was all day breakfast. Were told they were open until 8pm, got there at 7:15 and they were telling us it was time to leave by 7:40. The food was atrocious. Four rock hard french toast sticks, stale pancakes, old coleslaw, corn that tasted fermented and no meat whatsoever. When I asked if they were going to serve any fried chicken or other kind of meat I was told no but they did refill the bacon. Their menu clearly states fried chicken on the Wednesday buffet. Begrudgingly they brought out 5 pieces of old fried chicken that had been in the fridge and tossed in the fryer to reheat. They tasted old. The brown gravy was congealed and disgusting. I feel they should have paid us to eat the miserable offerings they had tonight. Salad was reasonably fresh except for the slimy, off slices of cucumber. All in all I wouldn't feed this "food" to a pig. The icing on the cake was that even though the website says Wednesda Unfortunately we decided to eat the buffet at Shoney's on Wednesday not realising it was all day breakfast.

When asked about it they told us that's corporate and had nothing to do with them....excuse me? If it bears the name Shoney's then it has something to do with you! They dared to charge us $35 for 2 adults, 1 teen and a 5 year old for this disgusting mess. read more

Wish I could select negative stars, however. I have to select at least one star. Subpar waitress and glanced at the wall to find a roach. Alerted management and was given attitude. The feeling that you get when you see a critter, knowing there's more is an uneasy feeling right after you have eaten. read more

The service was the only real keeper here. Food wasn't bad but not many options. Place could use a good deep cleaning, my table was a little sticky and the fents above I could see dust and grime. The gravy wasn't fresh and it was prime dinner time, the Pork chops were something that reminded me that was fed in high school... There was no desert at the buffet the entire time that I was there. The potato salad tasted like it came from walmart and was nearing its expiration date. The last thing I had was a salad, and before I start I am not a smoked but as I was eating it had a fait taste of cigarette smoke. The place needs a deep clean and a revamp of there menu and their buffet. read more

For one of the very few Shoneys left, it's great! They are nice and the breakfast buffet is great. It's by no means my favorite restaurant, but my dad loves it! read more

Horrible and cold. Restroom stank like sewage and the bar food was cold. I don't know what happened to this place in the past few years but it sure isn't at all what it used to be and the value is very little. read more

Absolutely horrible. Ate the seafood bar. Seafood was filets (cooked too much), shrimp (no taste). Vegetables cold. Salad items lacking. Had to be the hardest cantaloupe I have ever tried to cut much less eat. Which i didn't. read more

Horrible, not a big fan of flies at the buffet but I guess it works here. The food had sat for a while before it was served and the pancakes were hard as a brick. Had an omelet, had to go somewhere else to eat cause yea that wasn't able to be eaten. Shoney's really let me down. read more

Just too many times got sick too many times and it just seems like it's never good I'm not really sure what the problem is but I will never be back:( read more

It's a Shoney's. The brownie with ice cream on it was quite good, though. I got the chicken caesar salad with blackened chicken and it wasn't blackened and there was too much dressing on the salad. Oh well. read more

Food is decent. Wait staff is good. I can't ever go back as I watched the food bar attendent picking up dropped food around the buffet & PUTTING IT BACK IN WITH THE OTHER FOOD. Two different times. If that happens in the open I can only imagine what happens in the kitchen. read more

Easy place to eat esp when you're traveling. Not the most edible, but the food goes down (-:

Called last night to make sure they would be severing Thanksgiving dinner and I wanted to make sure how early I would need to call in advance to get a take out order of the dinner. She said give a little bit of time before picking up and it wouldn't be a problem. When I called today to place a order the lady said that the Thanksgiving dinner was take because buffet and I couldn't place a to-go order. I asked to speak with and was rudely she was the manager. I don't understand when you have opportunity to sale one plate TO-GO to an all you can buffet the math would make since to me but..I guess I am not the manager of a Shoney's. This explains why most are going out of business. read more

Worst food and wait staff ever. Only 3 tables had customers and yet it still took over 40 minutes to get our food. When it came out, the pancakes were bricks and had been sitting so long that the butter didn't even melt when you spread it on there. The Mac n cheese looked like something I could make at home from a box. Kraft makes better Mac n cheese than that, which was served today. The veggie/cheese omelet barely had cheese on it. I think it was sprinkled on as a last minute thought. Additionally , the omelet and home fries were cold. The waiter seemed so put out that he even had to work. My husband and youngest son had a chance to eat 1/2 of their meals before the waiter even came back to check on us. When I told him about my son's pancakes and my single pancake that came with my omelet, he wasn't even phased by it. I had to suggest that they remake my sons pancakes. If I could give it a negative star or simply zero, I would. I've been throwing up since eating there. This was my first Shoney's experience and my last. read more
