Shoney's

Forget the dinner buffet for a second. Imagine a plate loaded with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, and gravy, with another trip already planned before you sit down. That's the Shoney's argument. The breakfast buffet gave people a reason to show up hungry, especially when the whole family wanted something different. You didn't need a menu or a complicated order. Just grab a plate and build the breakfast you actually wanted. Golden Corral might have the bigger overall selection, but Shoney's gets to fight on breakfast territory. And when breakfast is done right, that's a serious advantage. Is the greatest buffet really a breakfast buffet? Shoney's fans might have something to say.
