We ate at a Shoney's at 420 Westbank Expy, Gretna, Louisisana and I have to say, we were impressed. We were there on a Friday night and they have a seafood buffet for $9.99 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm on Friday nights. We got there just a little before 5:00.....traffic was so thick on the Expressway that we just wanted to go ahead and eat and allow the traffic to die down a little....this Shoney's was the easiest place we saw for us to get the truck and trailer into.
We were greeted at the door and seated by a gentleman that looked like 'management' (you know, different uniform than the rest of the employees, stayed by the register, etc.). He pointed out that the seafood buffet would be out in just a few minutes and we noticed that most of the tables had people at them that were waiting on the buffet.
I don't care for seafood, so I ordered a philly steak and cheese sandwich off the menu....it was really good. Chris had the buffet and he said it was great. We also had coffee and dessert.....we should have shared a dessert, because they were huge portions that neither one of us could finish!
Our waitress, Ruby, was excellent. Very nice, very attentive, and very helpful. She had a way of making you feel like you were an old friend that came by for dinner. We love a waitress like that ~ thanks, Ruby!
Other than the food being excellent, the service and the people were excellent as well. We found some of the most friendly people we've ever met in the Gretna, New Orleans area.
