Shoney's

The food is ok for the price but the problem I had was that one of the servers was standing behind the line talking crap saying "because all these people had to work so hard for their welfare checks". ..... wow just wow. Whoever was saying this should definitely find a different job. Fridays, Sat and Sundays will always be busy in food service. Also - this location is NOT in a major city either so it wasnt THAT busy....if the person talking crap couldnt handle that crowd then they are definitely in the wrong business.

For the most part you would think that everyone is familiar with Shoney's, but for those who are not it is similar to a Denny's in many ways. This particular restaurant was in Princeton, West Virginia. We stopped by doing our travels for breakfast. I personally only had the breakfast buffet, borrow our table did have one person order from the menu. Admittedly they do have an extensive buffet that also includes a salad bar at breakfast time, but it certainly not what you would consider high-end. I can say that nothing was particularly bad. Most items were very salty, so keep that in mind if on a low sodium diet. Overall, for the convenience I thought it was pretty good. Follow for more...

This particular location in Princeton, WV, is a disgrace to other Shoney's restaurants that I've visited. I'd actually eaten breakfast at this location a couple years back and was disappointed on that visit, but they've continued a downward trend since then and I don't foresee returning again. This location was fairly busy during this visit on May 4th, 2023, and there seemed to be plenty of serving staff on the floor, yet it took way too long to get our drinks after ordering and since we were having the buffet, we were only checked on one other time other than to bring us the bill, but I did manage to eventually get a single refill after requesting it. As far as the buffet, if you were only there for a salad and some fruit you were in great shape, otherwise it was subpar. The individual

Not the shoenys of 90s. Buffet was excellent. I should 1 star for no country fried steak. But our waitress tried to get it. She had just started back a for a couple days after not working there for years. So it's definitely different, but still good.

The food on the buffet was fresh. Great homemade salads. Many options. Great service by Tessa. Hadn't been to a Shoney's in many years. Not at all what we remembered - so much better!
