Shoney's - Crossville — Restaurant in Crossville

The cabbage had no flavor to it. It was just plain cabbage, no flavor no seasoning same thing for the beans no flavor when it came to the spaghetti and they should’ve used spaghetti sauce and stay at whoever is making making the spaghetti. They add tomato paste they should’ve asked onion, bell pepper, some celery, butter, shredded cheese in the spaghetti And tomato sauce not tomato paste. I told the young lady the food need to change. They need some more cooks back there or they need to train the cook at the gap cabbage is supposed to have seasoning flavor. If I got to bring my own seasoning I might as well eat some whales. I hope they change the way they cook the beans, the pinto beans, no flavor they could use some ham or even a little bacon grease And gave the beans some kind of flavor. They could’ve added some onion, bell pepper, celery, partially to the beans, they could’ve added a lot of stuff to give the food more flavor. This location needs help when it comes to cooking food. People are standing at the buffet and complaining about the taste not enough seasoning. You should not use tomato paste in Spaghetti. It need to be tomato sauce, American cheese. It should’ve had onion, bell pepper celery, partially put some butter into the spaghetti, give it flavor. The whole purpose of people coming to these restaurants is so that they can have a good place to eat and the food need to have flavor. It need to have taste so I give this restaurant really not even a full star but a half of a half of a star simply cause the food didn’t have any kind of fried with...

It was good food but I was disappointed with the waitress, I took my friend in from Florida and one of my granddaughters, who wanted to go there because of the great food and service she and I got from a wonderful waitress at that time. But today was different, and she brought the check while me and my friend were back at the bar and leaves the check, while only my 12 yr old granddaughter is sitting with her menu meal. I was surprised that she didn't even come back and ask if we needed refills or dessert. Knowing my granddaughter specifically wanted a hot fudge cake! Also no pre- bussing our plates. But the other waitress I asked if she could get our waitress for me, pre- bussed the few stack plates we had, and we waited for her. She came soon and I asked for the dessert my granddaughter wanted, even though she said she was full, got it to go, but I was still eating and I knew Hannah would eat the dessert. And she does. It was not busy, But there is a big difference in getting a 20$ tip and a 3$ tip. I'm a waitress as well and I am alot older. It's the lowest I have ever tipped even for bad/fair service ever. The food was great and the others were very helpful. Maybe she was at the end of her shift or having a bad day, IDK but the tip is what she earned. My first job was at Shoneys when it was on the other side of the bridge. I was trained to be the best waitress possible and do my job the best or there would be no Job. Good luck to the server and treat your customers as you would like to get when you go out to eat and it will...

They honestly did earn 1 *. The moment we walked in the door I should have known better. I went to take my grandma out to breakfast I only had a few hours as a stopover. So we walk in and the hostess did not treat us very friendly. She was very quick to the table set the menu down and seemed upset that my grandmother was on a walker and not moving very fast and on top of that I needed to go out to the vehicle to get my sweater. It was also pouring down rain and my grandmother had asked for a napkin to wipe off the seat of her walker so that when she raised it to get her purse out it wouldn't pour water on the floor again rudely recepted. Then on top of that she is ringing us up I asked her if they do any discounts and she tells me that yes they do and that they have seniors I said well my grandmother is 85 years old and she says oh well I already rang you up. And what really got my goat on top of the ending was the fact that the same waitress that looked as if she smiled her face would break actually started cracking jokes and was nice to the people behind us. So the one star was earned when she saw that I emptied my little pot of coffee and she went and expediently retrieved another one for me thank you very much Smiles go a long way Korea service go a long way and when you have the elderly patients go...
