Shoney's - Pearl

The breakfast at this restaurant is quite enjoyable. They offer a buffet, although the selection of options is somewhat limited. Nonetheless, both the quality of the food and the service are impressive.

Terrible experience! I would advise against wasting your time or money here. My family and I visited on a Saturday morning around 9:15, and the first two plates we picked up were dirty. The buffet was poorly stocked, and we had to wait for the gravy, which, when it finally arrived, was cold. We chose to sit in the patio area, but the music was blaring so loudly that we couldn’t even hear each other speak. We asked the manager to lower the volume, and another couple at a nearby table made the same request, but we were informed that it couldn’t be adjusted. Our server also failed to refill our drinks. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and I cannot recommend this place at all.

My family and I were visiting from Chicago, and all I can say is mmmm mmmmm! The food was not only delicious, but the hospitality was exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Personally, I loved the sausage, ham, peach cobbler, and cinnamon sticks. My daughter couldn't get enough of them, and the waitress was kind enough to give her a personal to-go box with a few sticks inside. These thoughtful gestures made us truly appreciate Southern hospitality. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! We look forward to coming back next time!

I went there for breakfast and left feeling quite disappointed. There was just one unenthusiastic server and the cook on shift. The buffet was mostly empty and wasn’t restocked, which was quite frustrating. To add to the issues, there was a problem with the steam table that caused the floor to flood, and two pans of water remained on the floor throughout our entire meal. I can’t help but wonder if the owner is aware of how poorly the restaurant is being managed.

I was really let down, as this used to be one of my favorite places from my childhood. When I arrived, several servers looked in my direction but didn’t acknowledge me at all, not even with a quick “Just a moment” or “I’ll be right with you.” I had to ask twice before being seated. Once I finally got to my table, I went to get my food and was extremely disappointed with what I found. Nothing seemed fresh, and some items were actually burnt. When I asked if they could bring out fresh food, the manager responded with an unfriendly attitude regarding my question. Suffice it to say, I chose not to stay any longer.
