Won't open the business as afvertised; supposed to open at 7 on Thurs.-Sunday according to the front door sign. Not open at 7:30 when I left. (Lots of yellin' and storytellin' inside, but no cooking or serving the public.) Trainwreck. read more

I walked in With no wait. As I Sat in our booth, I got a Coke. Then I went to the buffet and got Bacon wasn't good or bad. 5/10 Pancakes were hard and crunchy 2/10 Syrup was 8/10. It made the pancakes better. The Music in the background was relaxing and a nice fit. Come here if you are starving and nothing else is around. If there's anything else. Please, go there read more

Service, quality of food. Cleanest of restrooms. Overall the restaurant was very well taken care of.

This was easily the best breakfast buffet I have ever had. It was all good, and the service was incredible as well. read more

See all

Good lunch buffet for only $10. Hamburger steak with gravy, baked wings, mac and cheese and fresh melon were excellent. Macaroni salad, greenbean salad and potato salad were also good. Only bad thing was the fried chicken. Way overcooked and dry. Servers and workers were all very nice. read more

DONT!!! Listen to these 1-2 stars they are stupid they either didn't read or have no patience. The good was great, service was fast, and everyone was nice. I can see how if it's busy the service might go down, I came at 2pm and i wasn't really busy, 9.99 for a buffet you literally can't find that anymore read more

If you are hungry, and you don't want to be hungry then you can accomplish that task at this Shoney's. When you walk in, everyone says "Hi, Welcome to Shoneys." The buffet had nothing great on it. It also had nothing terrible, although there were some things I avoided, I can't even remember what those were now a day later. The quality of the food was not really good or really bad. The service was given with a smile to seat us and then to drop off the bill and take our money, but nothing stood out about the experience at all. Th restrooms were clean but not perfect. The tables and ambiance were nothing really worth mentioning. I asked my wife after the meal if she thought anything stood out about the place, and she said, "well, I'm not hungry anymore." For an average meal experience that won't stand out in any way and is easily forgettable, stop in and get the buffet. read more

Exactly what we were looking for. Food on breakfast bar was fresh and good. Excellent hot coffee. Would recommend stopping if you are coming down I65. read more

We called on Friday ordered 2 pies and another one Saturday morning. 3 in all. we are from out of town and was going to pick up the pies at 7:00 p.m on Saturday. Got there and they only had one pie. the lady said "we have pies but no bottoms." Whatever that means. Never again will we go out of our way to go by this shoney's again read more

Me and my family were traveling and decided to get some breakfast. We decided to stop here, we looked up the hours online and it said 7:00am they would be open but on their door it says 7:30am so we decided to wait till 7:30am which we have been their since 7:00am. Waited till then and we tried going in but then their comes a lady to tell us they do not open till 8:00am! They waisted our time just because they can not update their hours online nor the door where they are at the restaurant daily as well as their sign out in front. If you are in this area and want to go their don't let them waist your time!! read more

The fried chicken was good but I had collard greens to it had a long piece of hair in it then for my breakfast I had hair in my bacon I do not recommend read more

Was traveling down interstate with my wife and saw sign for Shoney's Restaurant. I hadn't eaten at a Shoney's in years and had always enjoyed them. This one reminded me of those days. Everyone was pleasant and polite. They had the buffet going which looked very good but I wanted to order off the menu. My wife ordered the All American burger and said it was great. I had my old favorite, country fried steak, onion rings and green beans. All were excellent. I will make this a stop when I travel this way again. read more

Wanting a great breakfast need to stop at Shoney's at the Greenville exit manager is super nice the employees are great they have cafeteria type food but very very good breakfast Felt very safe great environment will be back just traveling!! read more

The food had no flavor, no texture, and looks terrible. 2.5 stars is generous

Do not come here. Food is subpar. If you can find any. Bench was dirty and table. Took 20 minutes for a server. Then charged me 50 dollars for rice and corn and string beans. Still hungry because no meats ready to eat. stay at home and cook. read more

The worst Shoney's I've ever been to. Called before we arrived, and was told that the breakfast buffet was out until 1pm. We arrived at like 12:10, and they were completely out of breakfast selections, and said they wouldn't be replacing them because it was "time to pull it". They slowly put out lunch items, but the same few pitiful pieces of dried up fried chicken stayed out there the entire time, and at no point during our meal was there ever bread on the buffet. "Supposedly it was in the oven, so I guess Shoneys uses that super slow rise flour. read more

Great service and restocked bar! All very fresh! The bathrooms could use some cleaning. Enjoyed my breakfast visit on my way through Alabama. read more

Ugh... I really regret my decision to eat here. I would use my servers name, but she never gave it to me. I was greeted like this, "I can get y'all a tea or coke or somethin.." okay cool, nice to meet you too she who is nameless. The buffet was pathetic, so I ordered a burger. It was ok. But while ordering I asked my waitress if it was cooked to order, she said yes so I asked for my burger to have some pink. "No problem." She said. "I'll let the cook know." ..... no pink in my burger and when she gave the ticket, beneath burger there was a note that stated, "no pink." Ok well that explains why there was no pink. After she dropped off the food she waited a full 30 minutes before checking on me again. By this time I was well beyond finished. I wanted dessert but she gave me the ticket with my food. Like she didn't even ask. So I asked for dessert where she proceeds to tell me, "you should know that this dessert takes 20 minutes to cook." ... well ok honey thanks for taking your precious time getting back to me I could have already had the order put in... There's more than that but this rant has gone far enough I believe. Last time I eat there. Thankfully I was just passing through. Wish I would have chosen something different though. That experience was not worth $30 and the waitress wasn't worth $7 but I gave it anyway. I understand the struggle is real. But those waitresses were really amateur. read more

Sign at street says breakfast served at 7 am. When you arrive at 7:30 am the door is locked. The sign on the door says open at 8 am. Need to change the sign everyone sees when entering the parking lot. I guess they serve their staff at 7 am and the paying customer has to wait until 8 am. read more

Visited this place a couple of years ago. The dinner buffet was very impressive, and the food was tasty!

I visited this Shoney's today and it was disgusting. Service was ok. Pudding was bitter.

Shoney's is the South's Hometown Buffet. Nasty looking buffet food hosed down in cheese and grease. The greenery in the buffet wasn't much to look. I hit up the chicken strips and fries because it is simple and you can't mess it up. Our server oozed Southern hospitality and made our meal rewarding. I only eat here every 10 years because I have forgotten how unimpressive my last visit was. read more

Shoney's - the name of the restaurant - American Near Me - Greenville, Alabama

AC was out, no mention to us as we arrived. Approximately 112 degrees inside. Ranch dressing was a shade of grey that I have never seen before. Two buffets one soda, $27. When asked if everything was fine, I did not answer and the lady just hung her head. I got food poisoning at a Shoney's in SC once and I would eat at that one before ever stepping foot back into this one. read more

Just stopped in and it was delicious. Lots of fresh choices, staff was polite and overall good experience l.

Stopped by here with a group of ladies on our way to Birmingham, AL. All the Shoneys on the Gulf Coast had shut down and after eating here I can somewhat understand why. The service was OK. They really weren't that busy but we had to talk to at least 3 different servers in order to get small items for our table: honey mustard for tenders and drink refills. The food wasn't really on my top 10. I got something that looked better than the buffet offerings, at least I thought so, and it really wasn't. Unless I had to go there again I would choose another place to go. read more

The service was horrible, THE FOOD WAS COLD, they wouldn't bring us our CHEESE, there was stuff floating in our drinks, THEY WONT LISTENand the food doesn't have any flavor, ALSO the bathrooms are nasty and they don't clean off there tables. I'm so disgusted. do NOT come here. read more

Ack! This must the armpit of the company. You would think as big as this chain is, the. Real fast buffet would offer much more items. There was barely maybe, 12 items? Bacon is super thin and crumbly. Half the pans were empty, so you don't actually know what was in them. Your egg options are just scrambled, nothing else. No toast, just old biscuits. French toast was sitting so long, they were like rubber. I wouldn't waste my money here again. read more

I don't think the wait staff receive training. The hostess showed us to a booth but did not give us a menu. A waitress came by and ask if everything was ok. I thought she was joking. We still didn't have a menu. When we ordered, my wife ordered eggs, ham and biscuit. No ham and no biscuit. OK then bacon and roll. No roll, only toast. Ok. I wanted to try the chicken pot pie. They didn't have any more. Ok, I'll just do the soup and salad bar. When I went to the salad bar there was no lettuce. I went back to my table and after a period of time I returned to the salad bar and still no lettuce. Is no one in charge of maintaining the salad bar? read more

Food wasn't the best. The buffet had some empty pans while I was going through to fix my plate, didn't have enough food to choose from. Restrooms were dirty. read more

Awlful food, worse customer service for a chain this big their food was all canned food taste and cheap. Never will return again to this location. I've ate at other shoneys and this place is the worse ! read more

Worst buffet I ever had. Roadside dinners are always iffy. Shoneys takes uninspired indifference to a new level. I would choose fast food over this any day. Does not deserve the star I gave it read more

Was not expecting to enjoy my lunch as much as I did! Greeted by a smile and sat in the exact spot that we wanted. We're given suggestions off the regular menu but I ordered the buffet. It was well stocked with plenty of options! Salad bar was decent, but the rest was mouth watering! I felt like I was back home eating at my momma's. Would definitely recommend! read more

Go eat across the street at Bates House of Turkey! This Shoney's was about the poorest excuse for a Shoney's that I've ever been to. First, the horrible smell when you walk in should have given us our first clue to leave. But, let's give it the benefit of the doubt. The table was dirty and I had to ask for it to be cleaned before we sat down. The air wasn't working so it was hot! I know... how many clues do you need to leave?!?!Geez.... fried chicken, fried pork chops, and smoked sausage. That's it for the meat. Nothing grilled, baked. The salad bar was lacking. The girl was doing her best to keep it filled, but no lettuce or tomatoes when I Went to fix my salad. Kids even said the cookies weren't good. Say What? What a mess. Waitress came over only once. So... save your time and money! Eat somewhere else! read more

Terrible is an understatement. Wound up paying $10.99 plus tax/tip for what I could eat from the salad bar. Greasy, tasteless food without many options. Even the salad bar didn't have a standard selection. read more

Shoeny's in Greenville did not live up to the free breakfast for veterans today. An army disable veteran went into the Greenville restaurant. The first lie they told was it was not available, then they would give it to him half price. He decided he would not make a scene, As they were leaving, they took the notice off the door. Shameful, these are they people who actually keep us safe!!! read more

Where should I start? First of all, we all ordered( me, my husband, my cousin and her husband).. A few minutes after ordering our waiter comes back to tell us that what me and my husband ordered was not available after all and so we ordered something else. The only good that came from that is she let my husband get a salad from the salad bar. 2nd-- The lady putting out food at the buffet was really really rude. She really needs to reconsider the way she acts because it's uncomfortable eating somewhere, where the employees are rude. 3rd-- The food was awful. The only thing I enjoyed was my salad. My bite size shrimp was nasty it tasted as though the batter wasn't cooked enough. I wasted my entire basket full besides a few pieces. What was supposed to be coleslaw looked and tasted nothing like it. And I went for some really yummy looking jello desert and it almost made me sick. So the food-- horrible. And 4-- the waiter kept flirting with our husbands which was really disrespectful and I did not appreciate it at all. Matter of fact if the waiter swept the spot she was sweeping one more time, she would have put a hole in the floor with a broom! Just saying. Will never eat there again. Would rather eat a turkey sandwich for dinner. read more
