Met with my supervisor, and his team of technicians, for lunch. The staff handled this large group of 15 people with utter professionalism! They were great, very patient and super funny!
The food looked delicious, and mine tasted like it was prepared by a well versed chef! Taste was mind blowing, made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection!
The restaurant itself was a comfortable atmosphere,nice enough for a large group but I wouldn’t have a problem eating alone here. The noise level, to be expected, was a medium level but definately not to a point to bother people. I have a loved one, where it bothered her when it was loud, and that’s the only reason I brought it up.
Good eats, good staff, great experience!

The service was excellent, the food was just food, nothing to take notes of. And a very dry chocolate cake. Maybe not a fresh slice.

One of the best places in town to grab a bite to eat. Their horseshoe is always my go-to but theres a great variety of options on the menu. Staff is very friendly and atmosphere is great. Keep up the great work everyone!

Cozy little place with good breakfast food at a very reasonable price. It’s popular for its breakfast buffet on the weekends, so there will likely be a wait.
Hash browns are really good. I’ve heard great things about the stuffed hash browns, but have not tried them. Yet.
Service is fast, efficient and friendly.
I feel like you really get your money’s worth

My wife and I went for breakfast. The food was awesome and the wait staff was there to refill our coffee when we needed it. The food came out within minutes of our order. Overall a very pleasant experience.

We came from out of town and wanted to grab some breakfast. Found this place on Google and it looked good. We stopped in and was excited that they had a breakfast buffet. They also had a good variety on their menu. The only thing I wasn’t impressed with was the gravy. Everything else was delicious and flavorful. The service was amazing and super nice. I love the atmosphere and it was quite large and open. Plenty of seating. We didn’t hardly wait. Any time at all. Would definitely come back.

Does Shannon’s get 5 stars from me? Close, but not quite.
But why does it not get 5? Well, let’s go into the stuff that was fantastic first.
The place is big. Like, full-sized restaurant big with room to spare. Plenty of parking available and it is easily accessible from one of the main roads in Bloomington. The staff was super nice despite there only being one other customer in the place. We had a completely empty restaurant to choose from, so naturally we sat near the windows. That’s one of my favorites, at least.
The menu does not match the size of the place… but that isn’t a bad thing. While it wasn’t a full menu, like one you would find at Denny’s, they still offer quite a bit. One thing to note is that they have cut off times for Breakfast and when Dinner starts, so keep that in mind. I was all jazzed to get a full breakfast and the waitress had to break my heart.
The price is way cheaper than your typical Restaurant. If you can zoom in on the menu photo below, you can make out what they serve and their prices. The Buffalo Sandwich I got was $5.95. With fries, it was $8.15, roughly. When our waitress served us, I was surprised with how massive this Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was. It was nearly 2/3 the size of the plate! Which was great since my stomach was grumbling.
So why didn’t I give this place a perfect 5? Well, the food was pretty good! The service was top notch for it being slow. No, what knocked this place down was the bathroom. I will save the dirty details, but it needs some TLC. Walking in from a fine restaurant to a messy bathroom that is in need of some upkeep was quite jarring. Hopefully they have plans to fix the issues with it as it was my only complaint about Shannon’s.
Funny story to wrap this post up. I wasn’t paying attention and started salting my fries. It wasn’t until I put the shaker back down that my friend and I realized that I put sugar on my fries. Instant sweet potato fries, right? Luckily it wasn’t much and didn’t affect the deliciousness of them.

I’ve loved Shannon’s forever. Breakfast is tasty, and I definitely have a thing for their Country Fried Steak. Servers are friendly and attentive, without being overly so.
