Shoney's - Lenoir City

We are a bit disappointed with this Shoneys. I HATE leaving Bad reviews. I have to address this though. We came in Looking to eat at a Buffet that still served breakfast, of course Shoneys was the BEST option. Me and my Husband LOVE going to Shoneys. Let’s talk about why this was so wrong here, and why we just ended up leaving. When we first walked in we stood there by the Register hoping to be acknowledged. Instead, 4-5 girls were in between the kitchen- and the front register, talking. Whatever they were talking about must have been too Important to Acknowledge our Existence. So they pretty much ignored us. After a few seconds of blatantly being ignored I was looking around, at the restaurant, my Husband, Etc. to try to not seem rushing or rude. After a couple more seconds I heard someon

I'm from Oklahoma and haven't seen a Shoney's in years! This was so nostalgic for me! The breakfast buffet was amazing and just as I remembered. The strawberry pie woud be my only complaint.... It wasn't much of a pie. But my waitress was so sweet. Overall pretty good visit and I'd stop back in!

We thought all the Shoneys around were shut down, and we saw this one was still open, plus it had been remodeled, so we decided to stop in for breakfast on 2/21/26. The renovations are nice! We were greeted with a smile and seated in a timely manner. Unfortunately, I don't recall our waitresses name, but she was friendly and kept a check on us and the drinks filled. The bar needed desperate attention. Some items appeared to be there too long and were hard. Some pans were empty. And, there was a hair in the cheese. I reported the hair, which is gross, but obviously you can't help something like that happening at a buffet from time to time. If there was a worker present like there should have been (in my opinion), it should've been seen and corrected before a customer had to see it. Regard

LOOK HERE, 5 STARS *****This place is definitely a winner in my book. They far surpass my 2 local Shoneys in both Alcoa and Maryville. The staff was great, the food was certainly fresh, rest room was clean. They had a crowd so it shows they are doing everything right. Great job and many thanks to Brittani, Deana,Dave, Christy and Miranda. Hope to see yall again one day

Absolutely a knock out of the park Denise our server was amazing had a customer service level bar none!! Christy was continuously keeping the bar fresh with hot food, and by the way the food was amazing hot and fresh Andy was an awesome cook. We travel this area frequently and this is by far One great place to eat.
