Low Carb at Shoneys

Low Carb at Shoneys

 

Eating low carb at Shoneys is a little tricky, so take notes.

Shoneys is kind of an American tradition and it started in  1947.   Alex Schoenbaum opened a little drive in called the Parkette Drive-In beside his father's bowling alley in Charleston, West Virginia.

Alex met the founder of  Big Boy, another big name in restaurant folklore. Back then, Alex was able to be a franchisee of Big Boy, but have a different name for his stores. He held a public contest to name his stores and Shoneys was the winner.

He eventually  split off from the Big Boy chain and Shoneys became it’s own large franchise operation. Note to Star Wars fans, one of the early stores was called Yoda’s Big Boy. That was back in the mid 50’s, well before George Lucas was making movies.

Shoney’s big claim to fame is their breakfast, lunch, and dinner bar. Unfortunately for us, it is filled with landmines. Take note that the FOOD bar and the SALAD bar are two different things.

To stay low carb at Shoneys, we suggest ordering your meal from the main menu. The salad bar does have a good selection of keto safe foods. It’s the FOOD bar that has the problems.
