Amazing Food, Great Ambience, and Excellent Service!

I had an incredible dining experience at Shoney’s Dining & Bar! From the moment we walked in, the cozy yet sophisticated ambience set the perfect tone for a relaxed evening. It’s a popular spot, so I’d definitely recommend booking in advance, especially for dinner, as it tends to get busy.

The highlight of our meal was the fish and chips—perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. It was cooked to perfection and served with a generous portion of golden fries and tangy tartar sauce. The portion size was impressive for the price, making it great value for money.

We also tried the Mushroom Swiss burger, which was absolutely mouthwatering. The beef patty was juicy and flavorful, complemented by earthy mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese. It came with a side of fries that were perfectly seasoned—definitely one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time!

The portion sizes for both dishes were surprisingly large, leaving us feeling fully satisfied. Considering the quality and taste, it’s hard to believe how reasonably priced everything was.

The service was another standout element. The staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Their warm hospitality truly elevated the dining experience.

Overall, Shoney’s Dining & Bar is a must-visit! Whether you’re craving comfort food or a casual yet elegant dining experience, this place delivers on all fronts. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

I love their kid pineapple yogurt smoothie!

The portions are still large, as usual.
The garlic mashed potato side is delicious.😋
This time, I ordered the chicken and mushroom Aglio Olio; however, my boyfriend said the seafood Aglio Olio is more delicious.

If you're on a diet and looking for a drink, consider trying their kid fruit yogurt smoothie – it's small, healthier, and priced at just RM5.🍍

🍴A taste of Nostalgia 😍

Stepping into this restaurant after a prolonged absence fills me with a wave of nostalgia.

It holds a special spot in my heart from my college days where I frequently dined in with my friends & family.

Recently, I revisited with Mr Boyfriend, also introducing him to the place for the first time.

To my delight, he thoroughly enjoyed the delicious fare, generous portions & totally impeccable service.

Here's what we've ordered:
Cream of mushroom served with garlic bread
Jambalaya rice with 2 sides of VOD (vegetables of the day) & buttered corn
Pan seared chicken served with white sauce, garlic mashed potato, potato wedges & coleslaw

The restaurant has undergone renovations since my last visit, now it boasting an extended layout.

Although the changes, the familiar taste of the food remains unchanged, comforting constantly.

It is advisable to make a call & make reservation in advance rather than just walking in.

As a significant number of tables have been already reserved during my visit. They accept cash, card & e-wallets.

Kthxbye.

Big Portion Western Food

Order their mains menu pan seared chicken with 3 side dishes (fries, mashed potato and garlic bread). Taste wise is good, and honestly the mashed potato alone can make you 60% full already. Well worth the price.

Heavy meal for an empty stomach

Super big portion western food in KK.
Had their Grilled Chicken 1/2 Bird, with their main course you can pick 3 sides.
My pick was Vegetable of the day, garden salad and mashed potatoes.
Tbh their sides are the best, I like the grilled eggplant inside V.O.D.
Grilled chicken with very cute chicken wing🤣some part of it are very dry
Worth your pennies 👍🏻
