| Recently, my husband and I were staying in Moorehead, Kentucky. Just across the parking lot, less than a full minute’s walk, there was a Shoney’s Restaurant. Though neither of us had ever eaten at Shoney’s before, the sign that advertised a seafood buffet for $8.99 was enticing.
It was a nice welcome to step into the air conditioned atmosphere of Shoney’s and out of the scorching 112 degree temperatures. We were seated by our server and cold drinks were ordered and delivered promptly. Before ordering off the menu, we asked what was on the buffet.
I have to be careful of what I eat, because I am diabetic. Our waitress, Jodi, told me that the buffet was a perfect choice for diabetics and she was right. She invited me to take a look and as a result, both my husband and I chose the buffet.
The salad bar was terrific. There were every type of vegetable imaginable on the buffet table and it was easy to choose something that was right for me. My husband was able to select a wider variety, but it all looked enticingly good. We weren’t sorry. The salads and vegetables were crisp, fresh and delicious. We were able to enjoy corn-on-the-cob, which wouldn’t have been in season yet had we been home. It was sweet and a real treat for us in early July.
The buffet table included fish, chicken and other meats and these were cooked to perfection, as well as piping hot. All were moist and not dried out from the heat lamps as I’ve found on many buffet tables. Whoever was in charge of the buffet had great know-how.
