Family-dining restaurant operator expands all-you-can-eat platform

Shoney’s, the family-dining operator, has overhauled its all-you-can-eat breakfast bar offerings, the company said this week.

Nashville, Tenn.-based Shoney’s, which first introduced the breakfast bar in the early 1980s, has rolled out new items on the “All You Care to Eat Breakfast Fresh Food Bar, after consulting with its own research and development teams, its franchisee partners, supplier partners and customers.

David Davoudpour, Shoney’s CEO and chair, said the new items play on Shoney’s strengths, such as strawberry pie, and offer new versions of the brand’s classics.

“I like sweet in the morning with a cup of coffee,” Davoudpour said in an interview Monday, “but that bacon and cheddar cheese grits — it’s magnificent. It’s a classy Southern dish that you can’t ignore.”

Breakfast bar prices depend upon location and can range from $9.99 to $14.99, he said. The all-you-can-eat bar is in all Shoney’s unit, he added.

Besides the Bacon and Cheddar Cheese Grits, new breakfast bar items include:

  • Biscuit & Gravy Strata with sausage, spinach and cheese.
  • Blueberry Muffins.
  • Cinnamon rolls with traditional icing.
  • Churro Donuts.
  • Strawberry Trifle that features biscuits layered with whipped topping and sliced berries.
  • Sausage Skillet Hash with eggs, cheese, and vegetables.
  • Egg Frittata Cups in two varieties including bacon-cheddar and red bell pepper-spinach.
  • Sweet Heat Crispy Chicken Biscuit with Shoney’s Hot Honey sauce.

The new items tap into Shoney’s heritage. The brand was founded in 1947.

“We’ve been famous for our strawberry pie since 1947,” Davoudpour said, “so we know one or two things about the strawberry pie. We got a strawberry trifle out there, and it’s a beauty.”

Shoney’s units in the largely franchised system are open at 6 a.m. or 7 a.m., and serve the breakfast bar until lunch, Davoudpour said. It then switches to lunch. Most units close at between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., depending on the location, he said.

Gill Duff, chief marketing officer for Shoney’s, added in statement: “Nothing is better than when innovation and collaboration are in unison and this was proof. We have dramatically improved the already industry-leading breakfast option.”

Davoudpour’s Royal Hospitality Corp., an affiliate of Atlanta-based Royal Capital Corp., acquired Shoney’s North America in 2006.

Shoney’s has 65 restaurants in 17 states.

Everyone has a fond Shoney’s memory. It is our job to make sure we create new ones, starting today, with special offers that will last until the end of this year, beginning with a Coke Float you simply will not find anywhere but Shoney’s.”

“As always, we want to provide quality all day, every day,” continued Mr. Davoudpour. “Generations have looked to us for delicious food, friendly service in a warm and welcoming environment. The legend of Shoney’s is not a myth and we are excited to treat our current fans and future generations for years to come back for another serving,” concluded Mr. Davoudpour, only adding, “Our guests can count on us for consistent excellence in every area of the Shoney’s experience. We are a family-first, community-focused organization. We don’t have a plan B because we not only believe in plan A, we live it and serve it every day.”

Since it opened its doors in 1947, Shoney’s, which was founded by West Virginia native and Shoney’s namesake Alex Schoenbaum, was part of the Big Boy franchise for over 30 years. From day one to present day, now carried on with the passion of Mr. Davoudpour, Shoney’s continues to be recognized as a premiere family dining restaurant. It is consistently praised for having the best rating for value among all family dining chains while also being hailed for its service, menu variety and diners’ recommendations. Some of its signature items, including the famous Slim Jim® sandwich (grilled, smokehouse ham served on a toasted hoagie with melted Swiss cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and Shoney’s signature sauce), remain on the menu today.

Its world-renowned iconic desserts such as house made Strawberry Pies (by the slice to whole to-go) still resonate. Perhaps its biggest star is the world-famous Hot Fudge Cake, which thanks to Mr. Davoudpour’s generosity, has its own holiday (National FREE Hot Fudge Cake Day – this year Thursday, December 1, 2022).

Shoneys Exterior With Signage

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — In the middle of the breakfast rush at one restaurant, there’s a trio that shares a deep appreciation of friendship. Their meetings have long been made up of french toast sticks, hot coffee, and good conversations. There’s something very special about these Tuesday morning breakfasts.

Susan Murphy will tell you, being a server at a Clarksville Shoney’s for 35 years has made her an expert on people’s breakfast usual.

“I know their order before they even come in, sit down,” she smiled. “I know what they want to drink.”

There’s one breakfast usual that’s become special to Susan.

“One ticket. To me,” said 89-year-old veteran Darrell Henderson, speaking to a server.

“I was gonna pay yours!” laughed fellow veteran, 90-year-old Amos Elrod.

“Yesterday was payday!” Darrell answered. “Money’s plentiful right now.”

Darrell is a Vietnam War veteran. Amos is a veteran of the Korean War. They met in 1962 and worked together for years at Fort Campbell.

Every first Tuesday of the month, the usual is for the men to meet up at the Shoney’s on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard for a veterans breakfast. They’ve been doing this for 30 years. Susan’s been their waitress the whole time.

“Those guys, they’re family,” Susan said.

“We just get together and tell war stories, y’know,” Darrell said. “That’s what old soldiers do.”

“That’s my early days,” Darrell laughed, looking at an old picture. “I think there’s a lot of years gone by. Had hair then too!”

“This is when I was in the Air Force!” Amos smiled, also looking at an old picture. “I was about 26, 27.”

The truth is, years ago, the veterans breakfast was a whole lot bigger, with many vets who retired around 1991 and ’92.

“People started droppin out due to dying,” said Darrell. “The rest of them are all gone.”

“It’s like losing a family member,” said Susan. “It’s just heartbreaking.”

“Now, he and I are the only ones left,” said Darrell.

“When they’re here, I know they’re okay,” said Susan. “I’ve got another month with them.”

“Sit down here and tell me something,” Darrell said as Susan walked over to his table.

“Well, I love ya!” said Susan.

“I said I wouldn’t retire until they wasn’t here anymore,” she continued. “I will be here as long as they are. I would miss them too much.”

“I’ll be 90 in another week or so and he’ll be 91 in two weeks,” said Darrell. “We gonna truck as long as we can truck.”

“As long as we’re able to, I guess,” said Amos.

Your breakfast usual might be any variety of things. These three have a usual they wouldn’t trade for anything.

“They’re my guys,” Susan said.

Shoney’s Chief Marketing Officer Gill Duff sent NewsChannel 5 a statement saying;

“Our country’s armed forces veterans have always been important to Shoney’s. We honor veterans, as well as the active military, every day throughout the year with a special discount. We actively seek veterans as potential franchisees for the brand. And, of course, our Veterans Day Breakfast, serving all vets a free breakfast at Shoney’s, is one of our biggest and favorite events of every year. It’s all done to say THANK YOU for their service to our country. We love to hear stories, like this one in Clarksville, about how Shoney’s serves as beacon for lasting friendships and how our community involvement has touched so many.”

America, May 2, 2022 – Nothing says Happy Mother’s Day like a FREE slice of one of America’s favorite desserts and no brand puts together a special Mother’s Day Fresh Food Bar or makes Strawberry Pies like Shoney’s.

“Mother’s Day is a special day at Shoney’s and we want to share this holiday with all moms, friends, family and neighbors by providing fresh quality food at a great value with friendly service,” said Mr. Davoudpour. “We didn’t create the strawberry yet we have perfected the Strawberry Pie and nothing makes us happier than to serve families across America with great food and treating moms to a delicious and free dessert.
