    Pancake and syrup

    Okay Shoney's! Yelp! I see you. We made an early morning trip up I 65 South and lo and behold, Bae spotted it, SHONEY'S! When I say a flash from the past, you are still as we remember. Upon entry, we were greeted by their designated sweet hostess lady. Either, we look hungry, or like we were there for the bar, cause she didn't disappoint, she sat us just steps from the bar. Our sweet server was Brittany. She is attentive and on top of her craft. Thanks for your service girl. Let's get on to the real reason we here, THIS BAR! Everything looks fresh and stocked up. Then, the guy on bar duty is acting like the old high school lunchroom lady. He barking out orders reminding everybody, "the breakfast on this side we bout to change for lunch" hollering. Boy, it ain't even 10:00 am, stop all that carrying on. Note the stars. Hush. Okay, I'm back. Bae and I got eggs, bacon and sausage,. He got French toast sticks and I got a pancake. I also got grits and made a self served grit bowl out of my grits, meat and cheese, Yum. We were full from the first bar run. Shoney's you are the spot for a delicious Sunday breakfast. If we are ever in these parts again, y'all already know, I'll be back.

    Biscuits and gravy

    First time being at a Shoney's, and I really liked it. Our waitress Stephanie was very nice and got us refills when needed. I thought the chicken tenders and French toast was very food. My friend said the biscuits and gravy was amazing. Overall, I'd recommend

    My family and I visited the Clanton location on Christmas Day. We were a little worried when we pulled in because they were packed. We had nothing to worry about. We were seated right away. Their crowd control was awesome. Everyone was wearing Covid precautions. Our waitress was wonderful. Plates were taken away promptly and our glasses never got even an inch low. Our timing was perfect. The breakfast bar was out for 15 minutes and then they transitioned over to Christmas lunch. There was a good bit of variety on each bar. The food was hot and delicious. The place was spotless. If you haven't been to Shoney's lately go give them a visit.

    Of course there's Shoney's Famous Strawberry Pie by the slice or To-Go!

    Shoney's - Clanton is conveniently located off I-65, Shoney's is open early and late for those looking for comfort food. We are here often for their Saturday morning breakfast bar and Steak and Seafood Bar on Friday and Saturday night. Things They Do Well: - Friday and Saturday night is steak and seafood - Sunday brunch has both breakfast and lunch items - They have a good selection of comfort food on both the menu and the hot /cold bar. - Shoney's is not crowded and they offer meals at a reasonable cost - Easy access off I-65 - Although I haven't had it in years, the Strawberry pie to-go is a classic Challenges: - The lettuce, mushroom, carrots could be fresher on the bar. - It may be cold - in the main restaurant or the back-meeting room. We will be back, so hopefully I will see you there!

    We wanted to try something different in town so this was our choice for the evening. We had three…read moremeats with two sides and two meats with two sides. For dessert, we ordered beignet bites. Everything was very good. The pork belly was really tasty. Red beans and was did not disappoint. The restaurant is a small location with a few tables. You order attached he counter, then get your drink. I consider this a hidden gem in town. Service was quick and friendly. We will be back.

    We tried a new place today in Clanton, Alabama. This is real Cajun cooking. They started out with…read moreand still have a active food truck. The sit down location is fairly new. It's no frills just good eating. The included menu say they are open Tuesday thru Saturday. This could change. I would call them if you're planning on visiting on Sunday or Monday. They have a daily choice of meats and sides (which includes your drink) along with menu items. You walk up to the serving line to choose your meat and two or to place your order. They have fountain drinks along with sweet and unsweet tea. Due to the size of the building, there are limited seating with a few tables outside. The ribs had what tasted like cajun seasoning dry rub on them which was very good if you like dry rub. The red beans and rice was AWESOME and perfectly seasoned. The mac & cheese was oven baked and perfectly cooked. I will be back to try the other items.

    I just tried American Deli for the first time. The building is new and everything was spotless,…read moreinside and out. This location features face to face ordering at the drive thru, which I really like. Things here are a little pricey for the area, to be honest. I'm not saying it isn't worth it because the food was delicious. I got the Philly Combo with 5 wings. The sandwich was absolutely loaded with meat, onions, peppers, and cheese. The bun was fresh and had been buttered and grilled. It tasted amazing! Sometimes Philly Cheesesteaks hit a little sour note but not this one. It was tasty and tender all the way to the end. Their fries are quite good, as well. They are crinkle fries, crisp on the outside and soft inside, sprinkled generously with salt. Their wings are very good. They have that crisp fried bite while still being well sauced. I got the honey bbq and can't wait to try the other flavors. They offer a wide array of choices here. Wings come in around 12 different flavors. They have salads, beef and chicken burgers, subs that are available in ham, turkey, grilled and fried chicken, and Reubens. Gyros and Philly Cheesesteaks are available in beef, chicken, or lamb. They have chicken tenders, fried fish - Whiting, Tilapia, and Catfish, fried shrimp, egg rolls, and chicken, beef, or shrimp fried rice (yes they have yum yum sauce) as well as some regional favorite sides and appetizers. They offer combos with fries and/or 5 wings and a drink. They also have kid combos and family wing packs. Clanton is finally moving up in the world with food delivery service. American Deli can be ordered through WAITR, KATS, and DOORDASH. My only complaint is that the drive thru does not feature their full menu. You only see their offerings of cheese sticks, okra, fried pickles, Cajun ranch fries, fried green tomatoes, bacon ranch fries, onion rings, egg rolls, chicken nuggets, and fruit bowls inside or on fb. My experience was pretty awesome and my service was friendly. They are now under new management so if you had a bad experience, please do give them another try. I know I'll be back.

    I wish I could give this a big zero rating. Been here three times now and have sit for over 20 min…read more(each time) in their drive thru never to be waited on. I couldn't say anything about the taste, the quality.... I'm not even sure anyone works here.
