No, there isn't one here.
Never heard of them though we do have huge numbers of branches of other American chain coffee-shops and fast-food joints here, in Britain; up-price, down-value, with a weak veneer of fashionable gimmickry.
I'd not use Shoneys anyway. I avoid the big chains and patronise the independent cafes, restaurants and tea-shops. These are cheaper, very individual, better variety, usually better quality; better value overall. Even though they often call coffee by cod-Italian Americanisms!
(On long journeys I take food and hot drinks; and abjure the very expensive motorway service-areas' eateries. Almost all of these are a large restaurant surrounded by a ghastly, electricity-wasting mess of Mactuckycostabuck junk-food outlets, needless shops and pointless amusement machines.)
