Exploring An Abandoned Shoney's Restaurant

When I was a kid we used to drive cross country a lot, and I feel like we used to see Shoney's everywhere. It's amazing how many things from my childhood are just gone now, only preserved in Youtube channels like this one.

Shoney's has always been one of the better buffet restaurants, IMO. I wish they could formulate some kind of comeback.

Shoney's breakfast bar was so great as a kid.

WOW! That place is untouched! Awesome exploration dude!

When I was a little girl, back in the mid-80s, my aunt worked at our local Shoney's. One of her jobs was watering all the plants. She always had a green thumb, and I remember her house was full of plants, too. She had one, I think it was a philodendron, with vines that twined all over the railing around the landing at the top of her steps. My papaw loved Shoney's and would take us there often. I even still have my stuffed Shoney's bear that he got me. Thank you for inspiring these sweet memories!

I Miss shoneys I loved 🥰 their food especially their hush puppies and shrimp 🍤

All Shoney's closed in MD decades ago. I haven't been back since. But that Shoney's bear used to have lolipops in the hole. Memory UNLOCKED.

The reason there is a Shoney's at a Motel 6 is because the Motel 6 was originally a Shoney's Inn. When the Shoney's in my home town closed, the Inn remained and was rebranded. The Shoney's itself got modernized and upgraded and now is a First Watch. I went to a Shoney's like 3 or 4 years ago, on my way home from Mammoth Cave. There are a couple of Shoney's in my town. After eating there the last time, I have no desire to go back. I think Nostalgia brought me and my dad to Shoney's the last time.

Wow This is Awesome Find I'm Doing The Abandoned Video Every Single Week.

I visited the Shoney’s in Morgantown and it was amazing. That one is pretty new and I wish I could’ve gone to this one. It’s really unfortunate people have to destroy and vandalize abandon places. Nice video!

We use to have them here in the state of Kentucky Shoney's they one day move out, good to see this one it bring back memories. Thanks so much Wallie say hi to your Kayla.😎✌️👍👍

Did you find motel 6 we will leave the light on for you

Not many Shoneys left unfortunately

I used to stop at the Shoney's down in Summersville VW on my way back from Florida Glad to see some of the locations are still open

Great video . My first job was at a Shoneys in Saint Clairsville Ohio back in 1991 . There was an Elbys next door and they took over the Shoneys and it closed a couple years later.

I love how the parking lot sign in the back is still lit up after all these years.

I agree people should Not vandalize.

They used to be all over the place here. Now, according to their website, the closest one open is ~90 miles away.

Cool video! Can’t believe those West Virginia lights were still there along with those team photos. Surprised someone didn’t take those, especially the lights. Something else seeing the bear and signs also. You’d figure someone would’ve taken them and sold them. It’s awesome when you find things like that left there. It is sad that restaurants like this are slowly disappearing. Places like this were where you could relax and enjoy a meal like a human being. It’s all going fast food shoebox buildings. There’s just something special about sitting at a table and enjoying a meal at a restaurant and not just gulping everything down at a fast food joint.

Amazing on YouTube abandoned locations video 😎👍
