Hear from our valued guests
Miranda was very sweet and very helpful ten out of ten recommend requesting to sit in her area if she in
Met our 2 grown kids here for 7am to have breakfast bar for Mothers Day. We hadn't been together in a year or more. Sat us where we were comfortable to visit and had a nice time. Food was good. The waitress even was nice enough to step out and take our family picture. Will return
The food was so good!!! Our waitress, Miranda, is the best. We will definitely be back.
I've always loved their breakfast buffet, can't go wrong with it,our only one still locally (in Morgan City). worth the drive, staff was friendly and delightful, clean atmosphere,a wonderful experience this Sunday Funday
On our way to Jefferson island. Stopped to eat a wholesome meal Good fresh salad and fried fish but there is lots more. Wish we still had Shoney’s in Houma !!!!
Been anxious to come here and I was not disappointed. Food was really yummy and the waitresses and cooks were amazing. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming and very attentive! Felt very homey and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back soon!
The Shoney's breakfast buffet was more than adequate and satisfied my expectations. The staff was friends, professional, and transparent. Like everything else, the price for the buffet has gone up. It was over $20 per person for the buffet with a milk at the Morgan City location. That said, I wasn't upset by this realization given the quality of service and food at the buffet.
It's pure nostalgia. The food was perfect. I got a little emotional because this was the first time I eaten at a Shoneys without my mom or my kids
We visited Shoney’s Morgan City and Miranda was an amazing waitress. We need more like her in this world. We’re from Lafayette and we don’t have a Shoney’s so we loved the food and the atmosphere
We eat the breakfast buffet every once in a while. But today the food was not hot. Some of the food was great like the grits and eggs. The ham was good. The bacon was ok. The French toast stick was hard. Bottom of muffin was hard. Service was excellent. Great customer service.
