We finally found a cop in downtown and asked him. He said everyone usually went to Donna's and it was good. I've driven by Donna's many times but never had occasion to stop for a meal. Our server was friendly and our tableware was clean. Place was pretty empty but two tables seated after us still got their food long before we got ours. The wait for our meals seemed excessive and our food was ho-hum. The omelets weren't very large and the hashbrowns were very dry. Toast was dark and dry as requested. The coffee, was, as my partner said, more "brown water" than coffee. I left hungry and we ended up at McDonald's where I had two cheeseburgers and a large coffee. Our meals came to just over $26 for two omelets with toast; one order of hashbrowns; and two coffees.

The food honestly felt like home, which is exactly what I needed. The mac and cheese and the meatloaf? So good. That combo right there is a must don't overthink it, just order it. And please don't skip the crab dip... 10/10. I had to get it again because it was that good. The staff was great too. My server was a really sweet lady, super nice and welcoming. I also noticed the same cook both times, and he definitely knows what he's doing because everything came out consistent and good. I'll be honest, I was on the fence at first because of some of the reviews, but I'm really glad I gave them a chance. It was worth it.

The service was quick and homey, and even when it is busy, for how packed the place is, the food comes out pretty quick. I recommend going on more down times because it gets a little cramped and the parking lot gets full quick when busy, but it is a very clean diner feel. You walk in, find your own seat, and they greet you quick, get you water, and get your order in quick and it is delicious. Love it, and can't wait to be back soon!

Good food. Good service. Food comes out fast. Everything was good with the only change would be to get a patty melt on rye bread. 9.00 for a quart of chili, chicken dumpling, and beef barley soups. Pies were choclate PB with a graham crust and the best coconut cream pies. Working our way thru the menu were Monte Cristo, cheesesteak, chicken parm melt, open turkey with real mashed, chicken fried chicken with a huge cutlet, patty melt, and my favorite of a Texas BLT melt.

And after seeing some of the other reviews, this isn't the first time that something like this as happened!

The service was friendly and our kind waitress treated us just like the many regulars there. We got our food quickly. The bill too. The fries are those kind that have like crumbles on them. Not my favorite but they were well fried. We had a burger that was a little overcooked and tasted just like one you could make at home. Also had a tuna melt. The bread was warm and toasted stout the tunela was cold. I found it odd that the tuna wasn't on the toast when it was "melted". Tasted good though. I would stop here again but probably get dessert for my meal.

I also considered biscuits and gravy but they don't serve home fries after 11:00, odd for a breakfast all day place. The banana bread French toast also caught my eye so I grabbed a slice of banana bread to go. Service was fast and friendly Prices are in line with the "new normal", sandwich and a drink was $16.
