    a plate of sandwiches and onion rings

    I haven't eaten at Shoney's for over a decade and excited when I found a Shoney's near Flatwoods! I stopped in on a Sunday at Noon and it wasn't overly crowded yet. The breakfast/lunch bar was very well stocked, but I ordered a turkey club and onion rings. The waitress arrived quickly and friendly - she took my order, brought my coffee and continued at other tables. She laughed and joked with her regulars and neighbors. I love WV and the family-friendly restaurants where everyone knows everyone! The food arrived fast, hot and tasty. On the way out, they had a lovely little WV souvenier shop of hoodies, stickers, key rings, etc. The bathrooms were serviced and clean. The restaurant is in the Flatwoods parking area so you have several stores to stop at - WV Merchandise, Leggs, Fiesta stoneware, Walmart is next door, etc. I highly recommend you stop in and enjoy a meal.

    Christmas road trip dinnertime--our first trip to a Shoney's!

    We recently road-tripped our way as a fam' from Buffalo NY down to this area of WV for no better reason than to visit a place we had not been together. We stayed in Bridgeport WV, and one day our adventure'ing brought us about an hour from there to Flatwoods. We came to take in some cryptid lore at the nearby Flatwoods Monster Museum and WV Big Foot Museum, (both wonderful free museums!). Hungry from all of our monster hunting, we stumbled on Shoney's for dinner, a chain we are unfamiliar with in the northeast. Shoney's reminded me of a Ponderosa merged with a Big Boy. It is a casual diner-style restaurant with a decent sized AYCE buffet. When we stopped in, the buffet was really the only option, as we were told by the kind waitress that they were understaffed and not running the full menu. This was fine by us, as the buffet had plenty of hot and hearty options. There was a large salad bar with a lot of variety, plus several hot entree options. I am vegetarian so stuck to the salad, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and rolls and bread sticks, definitely a carbo-load splurge. My favorite item oddly enough was the bread sticks--they were so warm, soft, doughy, and a little sweet, almost like fair food. Good thing we were on vacation and nobody knows me there, because I definitely ate more bread sticks than I care to admit, ha! For meat eaters, they did have meat loaf, broiled fish, fried chicken, and meaty soups. To top it off, there was a dessert bar with some cake options, mousse, and jello. On the way out, Shoney's has a gift shop area. I finally found some magnets I liked to bring home as souvenirs to my fam' that said "Country Roads, Take Me Home". I was so enamored with Shoney's that my sweet husband actually bought me a Shoney's tee on the way out too, so I could remember Shoney's always, hahaha. For an AYCE buffet, Shoney's was clean, comfortable, reasonably priced (about $13pp, half off for our son under 12), with sweet and friendly service, and a good selection of WV souvenirs should you need them. In our future travels, should we come upon this or another Shoney's someday, I'll gladly stop again to gorge myself at the buffet; after all, you should only eat like you are on vacation when you are actually on vacation! :-)
