I was impressed at the overall cleanliness of this Shoney's. Elizabethtown, KY. I noticed this even before we looked at the hot table variety. The young lady that was our waitress was very nice, respectful and professional. ( none of that how yall doing today honey bull-stuff ) I would place this particular Shoney's on a par with any top restaurant that I have ever eaten at. Food was very good and not too expensive.
We were just looking for a place to eat some breakfast and passed the Shines CV up. Turn around and we had the best breakfast buffet ever. Yum!!
Stopped on our way to Orlando for a convention. The staff was really nice and welcoming. Even though we arrived around 8pm, they took care of us and got us food without a wait.
It was a hint nostalgic too; we had Shoney's in Green Bay. WI, but it’s been a few decades. The mashed potatoes were a hit. They let us know well in advance that the salad bar was closing.
Was it best food ever? The service was was. We get it, we got there super late. We’d stop by again on our trip through.
Read some of the 1*s too. The economy was rough in KY. Staffing is hard. Could they do better? Yes, but when your driving 14 hours and happy to see food w/o a wait, who cares. Nobody got sick.
Wish all the staff the best.
Clean, food hot, great customer service. Fresh and ready. Great place for breakfast.
I am from Louisville, however, I was in the area to visit a friend in the hospital. After our hospital visit, we had gone to a popular restaurant in the area for dinner. However there was an hour and a half wait to be seated. That was much too long to wait so we decided to go to this Shoney's. I hadn't been to a Shoney's in years. It was the BEST choice! They only had the salad bar open but it was excellent!!! The fresh, hot, delicious fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and cooked cabbage on the salad bar were liked a "home cooked" meal at Grandma's house! The decision to come to Shoney's to eat, was way better than the restaurant chain we were originally going to go to. The staff was very friendly and accommodating!!! I will definitely go out of my way to make the trip back here to eat!!! 😋
Food was good service was good waitress Janice was nice and kept a check on us would eat here again
