Meat and 2 sides with either corn bread or roll. $12.00 a plate. They also had burgers, sandwiches & wraps that you could order to go. Nice decent place to grab a quick bite on the go.

Donnie’s Country Cookin’ feels like a mom-and-pop shop that’s lost a bit of its original charm. I heard that the original owner either passed away or moved on, and it kind of shows in the way the place feels now. The atmosphere is more functional than inviting, with a setup that reminds me of an older Chinese buffet. There are water-stained ceiling tiles, a small TV in the corner awkwardly mounted on a metal storage rack, and a massive antenna that causes the signal to cut in and out. The self-serve setup uses styrofoam plates, plastic silverware, and single-serve to-go jellies, which adds to the overall sense that things are being done as cheaply as possible. On the plus side, the place is clean and tidy, which is a big deal for me. The food was just okay. My omelet was cooked down into a thin, dry patty and folded over—not the fluffy texture I was expecting. However, the hash browns were a standout, with nicely seasoned chunks of potato and onion. The biscuit was also quite good, and I appreciated the fact that they use real butter instead of margarine. Overall, it’s not a bad spot, and it still has the feel of a mom-and-pop operation, but it just seems like the planning and execution aren’t as thoughtful as they could be. If you’re in the area and want a simple, no-frills meal, it’ll do the job, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

Mom and Pop restaurant with a big breakfast menu that sees a lot of local business. My coworkers love it. The place desperately needs a remodeling. The owners are nice and double-check orders. The food is okay to good depending on what you want.
