    Great little dinner. You could tell that it's a favorite for the locals. I got the pork chop plate with white beans and mac and cheese. I was very happy with all of it. Service was also nice. The only thing that disappointed me was that I wanted to try them for breakfast the next before heading home and they are closed on the weekends. I really wanted to try their breakfast.

    While in the area, I was looking for a local joint to enjoy a country breakfast and after seeing their menu on social media and noticing that they offered a bologna sandwich, I knew I wanted to come to Donna's! The staff there was very friendly and helpful. The place would appear "divey" to most, but is actually just a southern kitchen style breakfast and early lunch joint; I believe they close at 2PM each day. I opted for the bologna sandwich with fried egg on it, and also a side of biscuit and gravy. The biscuit and gravy is not the sausage style, rather just the black pepper and white gravy style and it was good. The biscuits were fluffy and nice. The bologna sandwich was decent and made with the perfect style of bologna, just wish it was cooked a little more, as I prefer the texture of my fried bologna to be a little snappier. But overall, everything tasted pretty good. I'd definitely suggest stopping in for some good, local breakfast food! Then, on the way out, I saw the pies they made and were setting out... WOW!!! They look amazing!

    Amazing chocolate meringue pie! Mmm, mmm, good!!!

    We've eaten at Donnas several times and love it every time. Today we had their cheeseburger and it is, hands down, the absolute best burger around. It's big, hand patted from great meat and served on a bun almost bug enough to contain it. The patty still overhangs the bun. It's cooked on a flattop and comes out hot and delicious. For dessert we had the homemade chocolate meringue pie. Another home run and you can't beat the price. They're open for breakfast and lunch so come early and hungry. You won't be disappointed!

I had a south side beef sandwich that is deceptive in its simplicity. Chopped grilled steak, Pepperoncinis and cheese nestled in a soft sub bun bursting with flavor. Fries that come with unique toppings, my option maple bacon fries forced me to clear the plate. Beware the chicken tenders too, 3 tenders occupied more than half the plate, few can handle a full order. Service too was good, fast and friendly and they covered our appetizer when it was accidentally delivered to the wrong table!

However, beware of places that say they serve several meats and vegetables. We had catfish, chicken tenders, fried chicken, hamburger steak, corn dogs, sweet and sour chicken, chicken fried steak, and chicken livers and several kinds of vegetables. Most items were warm not hot at all. The hamburger steak and the chicken fried steak looked like banquet frozen meal meat and tasted even worse. The chicken livers were inedible. They were pink inside and I have had a lot of chicken livers in my life none like these! The catfish was tough and I couldn't find one thing on the bar that even looked good. Everything is bland and the glazed carrots on the buffet were so tough and shriveled up that looked like they had been sitting for days. None of the vegetables looked good. They have a dessert bar as well with ice cream, but this is where I drew the line. When we walked over there to get dessert there was a piece of chocolate cake sitting there. We almost grabbed it until we see gnats flying out of the cake. They weren't on top of it they were flying from the inside of the cake, almost as if they have been living inside of the cake. If you look at the pecan pie picture you can see the gnat on the plate but the chocolate cake if you zoom in you can clearly see the gnats on it. Disgusting to say the least and regret even stopping in! One of the nastiest buffets I think I have been to and after spending $45.00 we should have just got us a pizza and called it a day! I hate leaving reviews like this but it needs to be said. Stay away from here it is not good at all!!! Marvin's in Fayetteville and Mildred's in Ardmore are some of the best buffets I have ever been to! 10/10 and worth the drive.

I always get the half order of catfish fillet, usually with a baked potato, and I have NEVER been disappointed. No joke, some of the best catfish I have had in my life! I was able to go last week while visiting, and tried the spicy catfish fillet for the first time. The breading was a little thicker than their regular fillet, but crisp and full of flavor without being overly spicy. The sides are served family style, which is dangerous for me, because I could easily take down a family's worth of creamy coleslaw, white beans with red pepper relish, and hushpuppies before my catfish even has an opportunity to get to the table. Those hushpuppies..... soooooo good! Nice and crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Large parking lot out front with the iconic Catfish statue alerting everyone that they got the right place for catfish. The interior is unassuming, and according to my dad, hasn't changed much in the last 50 years. It's clean though, and in my opinion, if you have a good thing going, then why change? The staff is super nice, and they take cash and card. Please NEVER change Catfish Kitchen!

I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, but after reading through their menu and other information on their website, I was pretty sure I would like it.

The interior of the restaurant is so pretty, with white table clothes and fresh flowers on every table, it was absolutely breathtaking! My friend and I tried the empanada, and it was brought out in a timely manner, and OH MY GOODNESS it was soooo good! Then I ordered the Salmon, and my friend ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu. The presentation of the food was so upscale and beautiful! And again, I was shocked! The food was soooo good, definitely worth every penny I paid for it! Then, for dessert we both tried the Affogoto. I was sooo surprised at the quality of the espresso! As a barista of 2 plus years, I might be considered a little bit of a coffee snob My words after my first sip were, "Oh wow, this is really good!"
