Kids 4 & Under Eat FREE at The Great American Eatery
Shoney’s Special Mother’s Day Fresh Food Bar and a Complimentary Slice of one of America’s Favorite Desserts Make for a Perfect Day for Moms and Their Families on Sunday, May 11, 2025
America (RestaurantNews.com) Nothing says “Happy Mother’s Day” like a FREE slice of one of America’s favorite desserts, and no brand puts together a special Mother’s Day Fresh Food Bar or makes Strawberry Pie like Shoney’s.
On this upcoming Mother’s Day – Sunday, May 11, 2025 – the iconic All-American brand, world-renowned for its southern hospitality with a twist, will continue its now 78-year tradition of delighting moms and their families across America with its Mother’s Day Fresh Food Bar, featuring all fresh recipes from Shoney’s team of culinary experts.

This year’s Mother’s Day Fresh Food Bar will include holiday-themed delicious choices like Shoney’s signature proteins, including Crispy Chicken, Sliced Ham with Apples, slow-roasted hand-carved Turkey Breast, and Herb-Roasted Salmon and Coconut Shrimp. A veritable cornucopia of Shoney’s other freshly-prepared items will include Squash Casserole, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans with Peppers, Sweet Potato Casserole, Collard Greens, and Macaroni & Cheese.
Of course, Shoney’s keeps piling on with more, more, more, including Dinner Rolls, Gravy, Cornbread Dressing, Cabbage Beef Soup, Broccoli Cheddar Soup, and another amazing dessert, Peach Cobbler.
Kids 4 & under will eat for FREE with an adult Fresh Food Bar purchase.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Shoney’s will say THANKS to all moms on their special day as only Shoney’s can: with a FREE slice of Strawberry Pie, made in-house daily with delicious, fresh strawberries in a flaky crust mixed with Shoney’s special glaze and finished with whipped topping when they purchase an entrée or partake in the Mother’s Day Fresh Food Bar.
Shoney’s has served millions of slices of its famous Strawberry Pie in its 78-year history. According to Mr. David Davoudpour, Shoney’s chairman and CEO, the dessert is part of Shoney’s rich history and has played a key role in the brand’s recent resurgence.

“Mother’s Day is a special day at Shoney’s, and we want to share this holiday with all moms, friends, family, and neighbors by providing fresh quality food at a great value with friendly service,” said Mr. Davoudpour. “We didn’t create the strawberry, yet we have perfected the Strawberry Pie, and nothing makes us happier than to serve families across America with great food and treat moms to a delicious and free dessert. Please join us on this special day, and as we like to say, ‘Let’s Eat!®’”
Shoney’s category leadership, relevance to, and reverence from the restaurant industry are inarguable and impactful. Decades ago, Shoney’s became the epitome of the family dining experience and continues to be recognized. It is consistently praised for having the best value rating among all family dining chains while being hailed for its service, menu variety, and diners’ recommendations.
Since acquiring the great American eatery in 2007, Mr. Davoudpour has been on a driven and spirited mission to reinvigorate and revitalize Shoney’s, one of the first and most popular family casual dining concepts in the United States. To return to what Mr. Davoudpour confidently calls Shoney’s “Glory Days,” the brand hopes to grow through franchising following an extensive revitalization effort. Shoney’s is offering franchising opportunities to qualified single and multi-unit candidates.
