I came here a couple of times for breakfast and lunch just to see if the experience would change but nope, it didn't The owner/server was rude and condescending. The food was just ok, lukecold even when me and a friend were the only patrons. Lacking in flavor that even salt and pepper couldn't elevate. There was flies in the seating area, even in winter read more

This is one of my all-time favourite places to go for breakfast in Winnipeg. Sure, the coffee is terrible, but the food is good. You can get some of the best restaurant-made eggs Benedict in the city here, not to mention they've got a bunch of good Mennonite options, which is oddly rare for a city that has so many Mennonites. I've been going here for years and am still always happy to be back. read more

Found this on Yelp when looking for a straight forward breakfast. The place it self is nothing great but it's clean enough and they do have some interesting pics. Was wondering what was up with the pics of people on the walls, turns out it was a cool picture project by a local photo journalist who had took 2013 pictures of people in 2013. They have them up on their walls. Service was attentive and food arrived promptly. Good coffee and they had 18% cream, bonus. I had the Day Breaker breakfast without the ham. Most of the food was really good especially the crisp bacon, brown toast, and the hash browns. Make sure you get the fried onions, even ask for extra, they made the potatoes great! My wife's Porogies not so good and I wasn't a fan of the sausage. It's hard to find good breakfast sausages these days. For a simple breaky at a reasonable price it's definitely a good option. read more

I had their signature lamb chops. They were average so that's why I rated it three stars. The atmosphere was fine but the service was mediocre. read more

Feeding downtown Winnipeg for over thirty years The Don Restaurant seems as close to an "institution" as any in the city, and with a wide-ranging menu of locally sourced items including several Mennonite specialties the spot at 120 Donald Street serves its purpose as an early-day diner respectably. Open 7:00am until 3:30pm daily, a low building and patio tucked in amidst offices, it is just inside the entry that guests are greeted from a hostess stand, a pre-lunch arrival finding only a few tables full though by noon this would change substantially. Favored by locals as well as travelers, the train station plus several public parking lots nearby, it was after perusal of items including everything from Kjielkje to Teriyaki that the decision was made to invest in The Don's signature, a dish called "Crack & Hash" plus a side of Pierogis and no Dessert as they were inexplicably "all out" of Bread Pudding. Admitting up front that Dumplings are outsourced, each of three pan-seared pockets filled with Potatoes and Cheese hand-made by Country Perogy Shop in Kleefeld, it was wishing that filling would have been a bit more flavorful that attention turned to the Hash, in reality just a pile of buttery Potatoes beneath a crispy slab of finely chopped Pork parts that tastes better when blended with Spuds plus Eggs on the side. read more

First rate breakfast during a short stop on a train to Vancouver. Not too far from the train station and reasonably priced. I ordered breakfast basic breakfast with sausages and a side order of perogies instead of toast (extra cost). All was delicious but the service was first rate. Sarah K was attentive and interested in our trip and was readily available with good coffee. read more

Wanted to try something different other than Stella's for breakfast. This one was worth it ! The bacon is crispy the French toast is fluffy ! Real small kind of cafe style seating but it was still a great restaurant ! Really digging the don read more

I travel the country searching for the perfect go-to spots. The spots that when you find you have a hard time going anywhere else in that city. This place has become my go-to for breakfast and brunch in winnepeg!! Friendly staff, clean environment, and the food is everything you could hope for in a good old fashion farmers breakfast. From getting a good start to your day, to catching up with friends, even curing a hangover, the Don restaurant is top of my list!! read more

One of the best breakfast spots in the city! If you're looking to have breakfast/brunch at a cheap price, this is the place to go! Lots of options. I would recommend their eggs benny! It's so good! read more

Ordered take out breakfast & they forgot half my order. They gave me eggs, sausage & soggy potatoes with no bread (ordered extra on top of that) & no fruit which was supposed to come with the order... so yeah 20.00 for eggs, sausages & soggy scalloped potatoes because those are not has browns. read more

We ordered a taco salad. It had rotten celery. Tons of fried onions. Cheese then put under the broiler to melt. didn't resemble any taco salad I have ever seen. I phoned to complain and they said to f*** off. mushroom soup smelled like fish read more

Very nice experience. Excellent service and great food options, including perogy! Maybe that's common for Winnipeg, but my 11 yo was pumped.

I ordered the pancakes and bacon on the side. The pancakes were good . The bacon well 2.75$ for 2 slices . A little on the high price for what I got. I wouldn't recommend this . read more

My last experience here was bad enough I will not be coming back. I've come in before with reusable coffee mugs either filled with water or coffee from the office before and ordered but today I was turned away and asked to do takeout, on top of that they made my takeout order wrong and when I asked to speak to a manager none was their even though I heard them say " tell them I'm away" in the back.... so ridiculously immature and poor managing. The only safety for this restaurant is their over worked and underpaid servers who barely speak English for racially biased owners who don't care about the food or workers , just the money. 2.75 for 2 pieces of bacon. Like get real. Won't be coming here again, hopefully these servers can find better jobs for themselves one day read more

Wow! wish I had found this yesterday, much better than my breakfast at the pancake house yesterday. Huge menu of breakfast options, some unique ones too like fried cottage cheese. I got great service too! If I had another day here I would eat here again. read more

I am sure glad that I found this place during my conference. Ate here for breakfast twice and both times it was excellent - eggs were cooked perfectly and hot sauce was very good. Don't forget to try their Rolo-flavored hot chocolate. read more

I went with a few friends to The Don, because their Eggs Benedict menu looked classic, and also offered great options for add ons. The EB were very tasty, the Hollandaise sauce excellent; the servers very friendly. BUT: the service was dreadful. I asked for egg whites only in the EB. The chef came out to tell me they can't do that; I assured her that you can; the whites will absolutely adhere in the boiling water, and off she went to make them. The food took a long time, none of it was hot, there was 10-15 minutes between my friend getting her pancake and the arrival of the syrup, my side dish was wrong, resulting in the whole plate disappearing for about 20 minutes; when it came back, the EB were pretty much cold, and my friends had eaten. We had to ask several times for small things, AND: **no-one checked my friends' vaccination vaccination status**. I arrived first, but as the others arrived, no-one checked theirs. It is not a large restaurant, and with CoVid restrictions there were not a lot of tables in use. So I hope I just caught them on a bad day, or training new servers who weren't on their game yet, but the overall experience was not great. I may give them another chance because I'd like to taste the EB fresh and hot, and their prices are great, but friends have given me alternative suggestions for Eggs Benny, and I will try them first. read more

Great food and service. Really enjoyed the quality of food in this small, unassuming restaurant!

The waitress was so nice and made great suggestions! They have delicious homemade cut fries!!

The best perogies I've had in a restaurant ever. Farm fresh eggs, homemade perogies and great atnosphere

Consistently good and satisfying brunch. I've become a regular. Haven't been disappointed yet. The compendium of perogies is good. Mix and match for best effect read more

This place is ALWAYS packed, and I know why - I've sampled a bit of everything off their menu, and have yet to be disappointed. Their borscht is to die for... read more

The Don exemplifies poor value overall as a breakfast restaurant. Additionally, the bad perogies were a great disappointment!
