“ This was one of my best experiences eating out ever! Came to Alabama for vacation from kentucky, this place is amazing. The food was all hot and fresh, the staff worked quickly and efficiently, I even seen one staff meeting member help an elderly person make their plate. They were friendly to the children and the place was clean. I’m only able to write this review right now because they have free guest WiFi without having to consent to some contract. We walked in the door as a party of 5, was immediately seated, got our drinks within a minute, and the staff frequently checked up on us to ensure our drinks was full and to remove any used plates. I would eat here everyday. I see multiple awards on the walls and they are well deserved-Bravo! ”
“ This location has truck parking in the back lot behind the motel as long as the restaurant is open you can park there to go eat. For the first time going there it was an awesome atmosphere the staff is friendly ”
“ This is the 2nd time we stopped here for breakfast on the way to the beach. This is THE best breakfast buffet I’ve ever eaten! The food was kept fresh the entire time. You know how most buffets stop adding fresh towards the lunch charge over? This place DIDN’T, they just kept restocking. Our waitress was so friendly and sweet and the place was clean even though they were very busy. I highly recommend!! Thank you for such a great breakfast! ”
“ You just don't see many Shoney's anymore in the south and this one didn't disappoint! We went to the Friday's all you can eat bar and everything was so good. They were constantly replenishing the bar with more food. They gave you plenty to choose from. I think it was the steak and seafood bar and we didn't leave hungry! Everyone was super nice and constantly checking on us. Will definitely be back! ”
“ As a kid, I had many pleasant dining experiences at various Shoney's Big Boy restaurants in Birmingham, but hadn't eaten at one for years since an unpleasant lunch at the one on Hwy 119 in Pelham right before it closed years ago. But having read some positive reviews here, my wife and I decided to make a pilgrimage down to Clanton to give this one a try. We arrived at an odd time, around 2:30pm, last Monday Jan. 29th 2024. Even at that time they were doing a brisk business. We were seated immediately at a comfortable booth and our friendly and courteous server told us about the Fresh Food Bar (see photos) and also gave us menus (ditto), explaining that menu service had been restarted around three weeks prior. Just looking through the menu, I was pleasantly surprised to see my childhood favorites like the All-American Burger and Hot Fudge Cake! Despite those temptations, my wife and I both opted for the Fresh Food Bar. All I can say is that we were both extremely impressed with the selection and taste of the delicious items on offer, as well as the fact that all items were constantly being refreshed, even though it was the middle of the afternoon. The cold food was nicely chilled, the hot food was piping hot, and the bar was clean and tidy. Our server kept our drinks topped off throughout the meal. Altogether our meal was a surprisingly pleasant experience, and this Shoney's is going to be a frequent stop for us on our trips between Birmingham and Montgomery. ”
“ The most excellent food and perfect spot to eat! Tucked away next to I-65 in Clanton,Alabama,this restaurant has the best food amd friendliest people around. We travel 20 minutes every time we make a visit and we have never been disappointed one time! Highly recommend this place over every restaurant within a 50 mile radius. Wow just wow! 5 ”
“ 10 out of 10 recommend this lovely place!!! The selection of the food was insane & the PRICE! The price for their buffet was so cheap! I can not believe the quality as well. Our server, Stefanie, was incredible! So quick, friendly & informative. My coffee never got cold, our water was always full & we never had an empty plate sit for long. We would definitely be here weekly if we lived closer. ”
“ Hadn't stopped at Shoney's before. I am glad I did. I had the lunch buffet and it was very good. A nice salad bar and the entree selection was very good. The breaded pork chops were fantastic could cut it with a fork. My only complaint was whomever they had cutting onions for the sauteed onions needs to peel them more. The outside of the onion was still on and nasty. ”
