    Chicken
    Priscilla T.

    The chicken was not good at all. The color was light and had no flavor. The coleslaw is nothing but mayonnaise. I drove 45mins to try it after seeing a TikTok. No way! Waste of time and money.

    It's says closed and will return at 3pm

    Came here today 8/4/25 and it was closed during normal business hours. I got here at 12:40pm. Not very professional to be closed during normal business hours

    Mr. C.

    I finally got to try this little chicken spot. Honestly great chicken, especially in the area where we don't really have spots like this. That fried chicken breast was crisp and the chicken had a nice tender feeling. Those fries were good as well, nothing stood out but good. And let's talk about that bread, great addition to the fried chicken, a nice fattening piece of bread, not bad either. Fried Chicken: 8.2 Fries: 7.2 Bread: 6.8

    Fried bug and a piece of the other bugs butt

    Found fried pincher bugs in my food. I called just to let them know so they can check their oil but the lady said she's "never heard of that" ... so I'm posting it here so they can hear abt it

    crave the crisp

    Sometimes ladies have that craving once a month. You know we women are a very interesting being. We have our good days and bad days like anyone.. but there are those special times when we need certain things to tame ourselves. When it is available a hop skip and a jump away I am satisfied. The owner here is friendly and accommodating with a warm welcome ready to make some craveable eats. This is the original location a small shop to order and take home. If you need a carbo load the rolls are homemade.

    Menu

    The food is made to order, be prepared to wait if you're a walk-in. Otherwise you can call ahead. The food is a good portion for whichever meal you get. I typically get the fillet lunch special and the chicken strips are large. They do accept card or tap.

    Decades late to the party! I've heard about Donahoo's when I was in high school and I never thought a humble building would have amazing food. The fried chicken here is one of the best I've had and the mojo potatoes here are by far the BEST potatoes I have ever had. You cannot really go wrong here. I tried the tenders here and it's also really good. The gizzard were good but can't really say I'd try them again. Overall I'd stick to the chicken and potatoes. The one thing I do like about this location is that you can call ahead of time which is better than the Pomona location. The food takes a while to make, usually 20-30 minutes. Parking in the front is pretty limited so I suggest parking in the Chinese restaurant right beside Donahoo's. Overall, an epic place for fried chicken and potatoes!

Warning, they do not answer their phone, but take online orders only using the Toast app. I had to use Google to find the link, new address, and place my order. I am unsure if this, the original Riverside location on Riverwalk Pkwy, is closed. I do not live near the original to confirm one way or another, however months ago the owner had said they were closing. The menu has pretty much remained the same.

I had no idea there were any restaurants in this area, much less a Hampton Inn lurking nearby. It was making a delivery to Inn that led to spotting this Soul food spot. Inside it's a vibrant, inviting yellow themed front space and dining room. Very conducive to good moods. I decided that the mini combo, with one side and cornbread, was a good value at $13.99, whereas the full combo adds a second side and costs $17.99. Lots of choices, including several styles of chicken, the smothered pork chops both sounded, and looked good. I saw a plate being assembled before I ordered. And the oxtail also appealed. Future trips will expand the experience. Ultimately, it was the pot roast that I ordered, with rice (or not if you prefer), and the greens rounded out the side choice. I proceeded to devour the entire meal in short order. The pot roast was amazing. Killer gravy, melt in the mouth tenderness, and the greens were another pleasant surprise. Hard to say what I tasted other than absolute goodness! Well done, and the host and her assistant were also warm and friendly. Über Eats, and possibly Doordash can deliver to your door.

Between the hearty meals, the genuinely friendly crew, and the cozy country‑themed ambiance, it's no wonder we keep coming back.
