Excellent service and the food was awesome only problem I found was they charged us for the lunch buffet and we were there for breakfast and left before the switch over had I looked at my bill prior to leaving I would have said something so that it could have been corrected food on the Buffet was always fresh and rotated often they're all very helpful and very friendly at the Darlington Shoney's in South Carolina
Nostalgia hits hard with this one. Just like you remember, but not shuttered like every other Shoney's in the country. We had the breakfast buffet and it was quality. Tried and tru, traditional breakfast buffet with salad and a few lunch-type choices. The entire staff was great, but Tracey stood out. Her care and concern for us was spot-on. Clearly this location is a Florence tradition. The restaurant was busy, but not chaotic. It added to the overall charm of the experience. Clean and homey, it's a great place to grab a bite on Memory Lane.
Food and service were awesome as always! Whenever I'm in Florence, I MUST eat here for breakfast.
The service here was friendly and the food came quickly! I was pleasantly surprised of the neatness and cleanliness of the restaurant, I would truly come here again!
So since I've lived in Florence wanted to visit Shoney's but they have early hours and not open after 3pm. We finally made it a plan to visit on Saturday morning before close. Located on N Cashau Dr. The parking lot is always packed here and this Saturday was no exception. Inside dining area is not as large as appears outside but everyone gets packed in. The draw in morning is definitely breakfast bar which also has salad bar for $13.99. After both of us sampling the buffet I would say it is OK, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuit, pancake, French toast sticks, cinnamon apples; I did not see grits or oatmeal. For me I would order an omelet next time since my appetite is not big. For ppl w big breakfast appetite they may get their moneys worth. The customer service was top notch & other patrons were friendly.
TO GO REVIEW. Stopped in this morning about 1000am for a bite to go. Soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted and asked if it was a dine in or to go. I was provided a menu to look at. The menu did have a lot of options available, but the menu was in a state of disrepair somewhat. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries (despite it being breakfast) and no questions or issues with time of day. I also fixed a salad to go. They had a nice spread for salad and it was clean, fresh, and stocked. I also glanced at the breakfast bar that was up just for a review. The food looked hot, fresh, and welcoming. My only criticism of the bar was the amount of bacon piled on breakfast bar, seemed a bit much to me that allowed for bacon at the top to get cold. The crowd was a decent size for a Tuesday morning and seem to be no issues. The restaurant was clean with nice "home feel" touches like plants and decorative end tables at the front. I was checked on several times during my short wait for my food. When I checked the food at home, everything was fresh, clean, and neat in the box along with needed utensils and napkins. All in all good experience for a chain with the age of Shoneys.
Good 'ol Shoney's did not disappoint. Breakfast bar was fresh, stocked and clean. Server was great !
On my adventures to drink less and eat more veggies , picked this in Florence across from my Hampton, this was a nice friendly change to my norm of high end sushi bars or steakhouses. Really nice girl serving me, picked the Buffett and loaded up on salad but really liked their choice of green beans and Lima beans- but 6 choices of wings that were quite good. I tried to limit the wings but kept that as my protein, loaded more from salad bar and for $15 can't go wrong. Place wasn't too busy so tipped well just to add some cheer, but happy with food quality and taste. No alcohol so another day I dodged my urge to have a beer like I'm having now while writing this!!
