Reviews for Shoney's in Charleston, WV
We had our Thanksgiving dinner here and it was absolutely wonderful! They had a wide variety in meat & sides. They offered a... real sliced turkey and also processed turkey. They said customer's preferred both. I prefer processed and my husband prefersreal sliced. The had a beautiful smoked apple ham. Fried chicken, country fried steak, spaghetti & meatballs. Stuffing, mashedpotatoes, green beans, creamed corn, Mac and cheese, cabbage, and so much more. If people left hungry, I couldn't understandthat! They had their beautiful salad & fruit bar & pumpkin pie. Nothing at all to complain about at all!! ?????? This is thefirst time David, Olivia, I have gotten to visit since before COVID and we weren't disappointed at all. I think the price wasappropriate per person and we were happy to find Shoney's was open and not just 2 other restaurants further away that wasserving no variety. Thank you so much Kanawha BLVD Shoney's for always being delicious and there! ???? Read more
Terrible, terrible food. I hadn't eaten at a Shoney's for a long time, so decided to give it a try, since it was very near to... the Tesla charger I was using. Ugh!! Big mistake!! They only offer a few "fresh" sandwiches and push their all you can eatbuffet as their primary offering. They don't even bother with having a menu, that's how strong they push the buffet. The qualityof the foods offered was quite low, everything I tried was overly breaded, over cooked and overly sweet or salted. Haven't had abad experience like this in some time. I guess when I saw Southern Cooking I was hopeful it would be more like Cracker Barrel(which I love!). Honestly, given the choice between another Shoney's experience and grabbing something off the roller grill at agas station, the roller grill will win every time! Even the atmosphere here was dark, old and stale. And the cost wasn't evenextraordinarily low. The staff was the only redeeming quality this Shoney's had. Very nice and friendly, but their only realrole is to take away your dirty plates and bring drinks. I can't remember the last time I walked away from an all you can eatbuffet hungry. I just couldn't find a single item on the buffet that was in any way satisfying. I stopped at a gas station onthe way out of town and picked up a bag of Doritos. Shoney's truly was that bad...

The server tried. The buffet was awful. The hot food was cold. The salad bar was fresh, but the salad dressing was watered down.... Literally, no taste it was so watered down. The server knew were not satisfied with the food left on our plates. It wasinedible. The restaurant is in desperate need of attention. It was awful. $31 later(the adjusted bill) and her tip (it wasn'ther fault) It was so bad. Read more
The staff were very friendly. They really seem to care for the customers. The food was average to mediocre. Most items were... bland. The only lettuce they had on the salad bar was iceberg lettuce. Good value for the money though. You won't go awayhungry. Read more
Ate here a month ago and had burgers, they were amazing, not this time, ordered the all day breakfast buffet, and at 430 pm I... think the food had been there all day, hard biscuits, cold gray cold eggs, hospital cafeteria food at its worst. Will not beback, 17 dollars a person, could have eaten at Texas Roadhouse and had steaks and baked potatoes. Note to self. Read more
Admittedly, I haven't been to a Shoney's in quite some time, so my memory is being tested. That being said, this visit was... disappointing, at least for the breakfast buffet. We were on the late side, for breakfast; that may have have been an issue, butit shouldn't matter. All of the items were plentiful and the buffet was and the facilities were clean. The service was good.Next time, I believe I'll order from the menu. Read more
I was disappointed that you can't order much anymore. The bar is 11.99 and has typical stuff. We really wanted made to order but... the choices were slim. My mom wasn't totally happy at the choice of restaurant anyway, then she was less than impressed with thefood. Read more
The lady?s bathroom sinks like sewer and you can smell it in the dining room. We was seated and waiting 20 mins before anyone... even noticed we was sitting here. But the Waitress said they was taking turns but it wasn?t her turn but she helped anyways andwas very friendly. Food is alright Read more
