The local greasy spoon. Loved this place as a child, so many great memories of this place, especially the onion rings. Probably not a place to take a date, but the kids love this place and the staff is super friendly. A special shout out to Tracy who provided exceptional customer service. Every time I'm in town I make sure to stop by for onion rings and memories from my childhood.

Double Cheeseburger and Homemade Onion Rings

A Battle Creek classic! I have loved coming here since I was a kid. I usually get a burger, but there are a ton of other options on the menu, from salads to shrimp baskets. I'm not a fan of olive burgers but everyone else I know is, and they all say they are great. I prefer the double cheeseburger deluxe, which always tastes fresh and delicious. The onion rings are the size of donuts and could be a meal themselves! And krinkle fries!! The one thing I've never tried here is breakfast, but I have heard about the All in One breakfast sandwich, and it's on my list to try soon!

Breakfast quesadilla with a side of gravy. And an example of the color of coffee you get when you ask for cream

Blast from the past style walk-up diner restaurant. I would kindly term this "hangover food", which certainly has its merits; however, as a non-drinker, it's a bit too greasy and heavy for regular consumption for me. We stopped in about 10am on a Sunday, it was surprisingly not busy. There seemed to be maybe 2 or 3 people working; when it got a little busier they were definitely having to hustle. I ordered a breakfast quesadilla with gravy and my guy got pancakes, eggs, and bacon, and we both had coffee. This surprisingly came out to about $19, I honestly expected lower prices. Portions are fairly hefty to me, so that makes up for it. My meal was fine. Nothing to go out of my way for, but we live really close! The coffee was quite awful; made us realize how sorely this side of town lacks a Starbucks. I don't consider myself a coffee snob, but it was just blah. Overall it was essentially what I expected, I guess. I'd be interested in coming back to try a burger.

The deep fried pumpkin pie is so good!

It's an older local restaurant. There is a variety of food to choose from, with breakfast and dinner foods. The staff was nice. I got my food to go and it was still really hot when got home. It's clear that they cook to order! Prices are decent. I have only driven by it only every day for my entire life and now have finally seen what it is all about. I can say that I wasnt disappointed. I will be going back soon! (they only accept cash)

If a local Greek diner birthed a fast(er) food joint and lived in a circa 1985 McDonalds, it would be Mr. Don's! In full disclosure I ordered items the lady didn't recommend. While it wasn't horrible, it was 3 Star. I still would come back here though. While I am sitting here eating, I feel alive, nostalgic, brought back to a time when the local guy got ahead and could compete with the big franchises out there! Mr. Don's has been around since 1952!! The menu boasts everything from Multigrain pancakes and French toast to deep fried Twinkies. Mushroom Swiss Burger, Egg Salad Sandwich and a Wet Burrito (recommended). Onion rings, curly (and regular) fries, deep fried pickles or mushrooms and tasty shakes (Vanilla suggested- strawberry is too strawberry strong for my taste) The decor is positively retro! Everything is clean and well maintained though, so that's a plus! (5 star) Live life a little- ditch Checkers, the Golden Arches and the King... Go support a Local Entrepreneurial Battle Creek Institution, visit Mr. Don's!! Ps- check out my pics of menu and inside of restaurant

Breakfast Burrito. Sooo good.

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place has GREAT food. The people are always friendly. It looks outdated but it's the food you come here for.

It cost me $12.50 to learn the definition of 'sh*t on a shingle'.

See all

Burnt toast. Requested hash browns crisp. They have barely any color at all. Just soggy.

Their hot dogs, french fries, curly fries and milkshakes are so good. I grew up on Mr Dons foods I absolutely love their food.

Burgers were very small. Food tasted okay but overpriced and left hungry. Fried jalapeno on my burger was red and obviously not a jalapeno.
