This Shoney's<\/i> on Garners Ferry Road is closed for remodeling. I used to eat there now and again when I worked out on Bluff Road. It was a typical Shoney's<\/i> with a decent salad bar and burgers. I'm not sure exactly what the remodel will entail. Newer Shoney's<\/i> stores are bigger and boxier, but it doesn't look yet like they plan to tear down the existing building.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2 May 2016<\/b> -- As reported in the comments, this place is open again:<\/p>\n

The chain has been in trouble for years now, and we have lost a number of locations in the Columbia area. Apprently the stress of COVID-19<\/a> combined with marginal sales anyway were enough to close this branch down, at least until people head back to restaurants in greater numbers.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 19 August 2025<\/b>: This restaurant has had its ups & downs, being closed several times on a temporary basis over the years, but now the last Shoney's<\/a> in the Midlands is finally closed for good. The State<\/i> has the story here<\/a>. The adjacent Captain D's<\/i>, which once shared corporate ownership with Shoney's<\/i> and often co-located, remains open.<\/p>\n
