Shoney's - Powell 315 East Emory Road, Powell, TN 37849

"Breakfast was good, but be advised, if you order the pancakes, they will not send you any syrup with them. I called to see if they forgot it and they told me that they don't normally include it.... I'm sorry, but anyone who eats pancakes without a drop of syrup is a suspect. Other than that, no complaints. But seriously, dry pancakes? I'm not a psycopath."

"This place is a hit or miss on everything. Food has been awful to good. Service has been the same. It all depends on what day and time you go. Have been there when the buffet was un-eat-able, then times it was quite good. Breakfast has been the best all-around. The food selection has been varied, and the salad bar was limited, but you can always find something to eat."

"So I know shoney's gets a bad rap sometimes but honestly everything was solid here. Second time we've been here once at dinner and once early in the day. Both times the food was good the salad bar buffet thing is hit and miss. Some things are great some things are just okay but in general it's a giant selection at a good price. I've always found the service to be quite good everyone is super nice and friendly definitely not pretentious in any way. If you're looking for something simple with a wide variety of food and you're not expecting anything Earth shattering gourmet this is a good option"

"I will say that the salad bar was stocked and fresh items were on it, but the hot bar was a hot mess. Very few things were filled, the items that were on the hot bar had a crust like substance from where they had sat without being stirred. The entire time we were there, absolutely no hot foods had been replenished...even the soup tasted burnt. The price has also went up by nearly two dollars as well. Our server was non-existent and when she returned she smelled as if she had just hot boxed a cigarette behind the dumpster. SKIP IT!!!"
