Shoney's - Alcoa

I have to say, this is only the second Shoney's I've been to in the past 30 years. And, I have to mention Ben, the young man who takes care of the buffet. That's one of the hardest working young men I've seen in a while! That buffet is spotless, he takes pride in what he does, which is the Christian thing to do! Ex Athlete Ex MMA fighter, you want to get yourself in shape? Go talk to Ben over at Shoney's, he'll hook you up! The food was good, and plentiful! I guess we have to be grateful we're not in the Ukraine right now! Stop on in, and say a prayer, cuz as bad as things seem, they could always get worse! The bathrooms were spotless, and if you ever go into a facility and the bathrooms are dirty? Get out quick, don't eat there. Special props also to the manager! A solid solid Man!

It's been several years since I ate at this Shoney's but when my wife and I happened to be in the area on vacation, we stopped in for their salad bar. It did not disappoint. Fresh, crisp lettuce was just the start of what made the salad bar so enjoyable. Everyone working was friendly and gave excellent service. Thanks for dinner.

I have always loved Shoney’s, since I was a child. They have good food at a reasonable price. Typically, we are regulars there, depending on the week. Most often, Bianca is our server, who we absolutely adore! She is very hard working and takes great care of us, when there! My only frustration is the reduction in store hours to 9PM, which sometimes, makes it difficult for us to go, as much as we would like.

IMPRESSED!! Have not visited a Shoneys in years but so glad we stopped at this location as we were traveling through Alcoa. The food was outstanding the restaurant was clean and the service was excellent. Bianca took very good care of us never letting our drinks get low. If you want tasty country cooking this is your place!

I enjoyed eating at Shoney's. My home towns Shoney's was closed decades ago, so this was a treat. The buffet is small but yummy, the employees are gracious, the atmosphere, well, it's a Shoney's. In all though it's a decent place for a meal. We never left the Shoney's... WE NEVER LEFT THE SHONEY'S!

My experience wasn't the best, but I've had worse. There isnt much to the menu. My burger was way to salty, so I couldn't finish my dinner. My children mother said her food was just ok. The sub roll was soggy and onion rings didnt taste fresh. The waitress which was a nice person could have come and checked on us more often. They weren't busy. My waitress forgot to put in my daughter's dinner order, when she realized she had made a mistake she did correct the issue. Like I said it could have been worse.
