    tables and chairs in a restaurant
    Debra V.

    Hadn't been to Shoney's for years. We were traveling through Princeton, WV, and decided to try it again at 2 p.m. We saw a lot of people! We walked around the lunch buffet and it looked nice, so for $11.49 we got the all-you-can eat buffet. It was good! I liked the fried chicken which was more like broasted than heavily fried. Other meat choices were Salisbury steak and lightly fried fish. They tasted good. Veggies that I took were the green beans with small potatoes and peas. The salad choices were many and the cole slaw was a nice choice. The menu had desserts, but we had the jello and pudding from the buffet. The waitress kept our table cleaned of used plates and kept our water glasses full. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. We made the right stop.

    for 3 people, we ordered butter chicken and vindaloo (chicken option), both on a medium-hot spice…read morelevel, along with two garlic naans starting off with the garlic naan, i thought it was pretty decent it wasn't hard, but certainly could've been softer. it did have a good amount of oil on it, but i only got a little bit of the garlic flavor 2 garlic naan orders came out to four half-naan pieces, which was alright but not great the rice was also fine - nothing special both curries had essentially zero spice to them at all. the butter chicken might've had negative spice, and i found the faintest hint of some on the vindaloo. in terms of overall flavor, i think the vindaloo had a few more spices and tasted slightly more authentic, but out of the two i preferred the butter chicken's taste as it was a bit more pleasing. thankfully both curries weren't super oily i did like the chicken in both curries - it was cooked well and retained some juiciness. the vindaloo especially actually had a good amount of chicken in pretty large pieces. both curries had a pretty decent protein/gravy ratio due to the lack of spiciness and 'real' flavor, i wouldn't come here if you're looking for authentic indian food, but for a facsimile to display for non-indians, it's not the worst imitation i've seen

    I didn't know what to expect with Indian food in Blacksburg but actually had a pretty ok experience…read morehere! I came after game day and it was surprisingly quiet. I got the chicken biryani and shared some garlic and regular naan with the table. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was pretty good! The naan was pretty good too. My own personal main complaint would be that the servers weren't the most proactive with refilling water- they weren't very available and we had to ask. Also, the chicken tikka masala was not good- don't get it.

    Great great best ever had would recommend it to the president the one in Roanoke VA .Try it won't…read morebe disappointed price is great. If. President Trump likes Chinese this is the place to go.

    This Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet is located in a relatively spacious building structure with…read morean extensive all-you-can-eat food items, including all types of chicken, beef, pork, fish, and seafood selections. Besides this, it has a small salad bar area, Hibachi area, Sushi area, and a very small dessert area with a selection of ice creams as well. The decor of the place is nothing fancy nor modernized and many of the furniture are a bit run down. The "make believe" what looks like a fountain, without water, in the entrance is nothing to brag about and the artwork on the wall look kind of cheap. As one enters the restaurant there is an order and pay counter where a person who seems like the manager gives you a warm greeting with a smile and efficiently takes your order, charges you and has one of the hosts take you to your booth. The price for the buffet is not too expensive and considering the large selection of food items available, this may be what continues to attract many people to eat at this place. We decided to eat here today because other buffets and opened restaurants around had a wait of more than an hour. Once you're seated at your booth, a server is assigned to bring you your drink and refills, and to remove your empty dishes once you finish eating what's on them. We had a very friendly and efficient young man who was always coming around to check on us with a smile and providing exceptional customer service. Now, if we talk about the food, which is the main reason one goes to a restaurant in the first place, leaves much to be desired. The quality of many of the items available is very poor and/or not cooked well. The turkey slices served were dry and not to fresh as well as many of the seafood items were lukewarm and not freshly served. The fried shrimps were crunchy and warm, however they were flat and not plumpy. The Sesame Chicken seemed to have more batter than meat. Even the squid looked and tasted cheap and was not warm. The Sushi Bar had a few variety of Suchi but they lacked craftsmanship. So much so that I didn't even dare to try one, and the employees working that station didn't encourage me either when they saw me there. In the Hibachi area, I noticed that the grill was not too cleanand the cook manding this area did not accommodate me when I asked if I could add two eggs to my items before he served them. If management addresses some of the above issues I mentioned, I think this Buffet restaurant will have a better chance to successfully grow its clientele and not lose many. I invite all of you reading my review to go experience for yourself if they have followed my recommendations, and this can only be done by trying you out.
