Shoney’s is a family restaurant, mainly in the south. there are two locations in Ohio…one in Marietta, and the other in Dover (which I believe is the farthest location north). I have eaten at other locations in the south, and have grown very fond of their weekend brunch buffet. They have all your hot breakfast favorites…pancakes, eggs, French toast sticks, biscuits (and gravy, if you like), bacon, sausage, chicken, among other things., Since it’s brunch, some folks like to have some salad bar items. They also have strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream. Mmm…
My only criticism is this…location. I have to drive nearly an hour to get to the Shoney’s in Dover. However, it is indeed worth the trip. If you are in the Dover-New Philadelphia area, give Shoney’s a try for weekend brunch. They serve the brunch buffet until 2 on Saturdays and Sundays.
