Shoney’s Special Father’s Day Fresh Food Bar and a Complimentary Slice of America’s Favorite Dessert Make for a Perfect Day for Dads and Families this Sunday, June 15, 2025, at its Restaurants Nationwide
America (RestaurantNews.com) As one of the most popular sayings in history goes, the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Shoney’s, an American restaurant treasure, figured this out 78 years ago. On this coming Father’s Day, Sunday, June 15, starting at 11 am local time, the iconic All-American brand will do it again with a special All You Care To Eat Fresh Food Bar designed especially for Dads and their families on their special day. A complimentary hot fudge cake slice is available for fathers with any Fresh Food Bar or entrée purchase. Children 4 and under can enjoy their meal for free with the purchase of an adult Fresh Food Bar.

“We love serving fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers every day of the year,” said Shoney’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. David Davoudpour and father to two amazing young adults. “Father’s Day is a special day for us, and we have created a can’t-miss selection of the best of the best that Shoney’s offers. There is simply no other place to be this coming Sunday as we celebrate all dads and their families. Oh, and the free Hot Fudge Cake, that’s on me, a dad myself.”
The Father’s Day Feast will feature unbeatable items, including a rare appearance of delicious BBQ Ribs and brand staples like its Signature Crispy Chicken, house-made Meatloaf, Crispy Whitefish, vegetables, and more. All items are freshly prepared in Shoney’s kitchens daily by Shoney’s team of culinary experts.
And Shoney’s is just getting started, so let’s keep going … Fresh Steamed Broccoli, Green Beans with Peppers, Mashed Potatoes, Cinnamon Apples, Squash Casserole, Macaroni & Cheese, Steamed Cabbage, Crispy Okra and Roasted Red Potatoes. Full yet? Not yet. Shoney’s keeps piling it on with Dinner Rolls, Cornbread Muffins, Potato and cabbage beef soup, and Peach Cobbler; now, back to the Fudge.

Shoney’s famous Hot Fudge Cake, which has its national holiday, has been a brand staple since 1947 and has played a key role in the brand’s recent resurgence. Shoney’s has served millions of Hot Fudge Cakes in its illustrious history, all to the delight of its valued guests. On the first Thursday of December every year, Shoney’s declares National FREE Hot Fudge Cake Day and serves thousands of its prized dessert to all guests free of charge with no purchase required.
Shoney’s category leadership, relevance to, and reverence from the restaurant industry are inarguable and impactful. Decades ago, Shoney’s became the epitome of the family dining experience and remains a recognized brand. It is consistently praised for having the best value rating among all family dining chains while being hailed for its service, menu variety, and diners’ recommendations.
Since acquiring the great American eatery in 2007, Mr. Davoudpour has been on a driven and spirited mission to reinvigorate and revitalize Shoney’s, one of the first and most popular family casual dining concepts in the United States. To return to what Mr. Davoudpour confidently calls Shoney’s “Glory Days,” the brand hopes to grow through franchising following an extensive revitalization effort. Shoney’s is offering franchising opportunities to qualified single and multi-unit candidates.
