Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Donna and friends has a great family atmosphere. The food always taste like it came straight from my grandmothers kitchen!! People are friendly, food is great and price is right!!

Down home southern hospitality. Wonderful environment. Good meals 07/23/2025 Except for the catfish. It was severely overcooked, mushy and mostly inedible. The hush puppies are generally good but today they were tough, spongy and overcooked as well.

Wonderful meat and three! I had the chicken pot pie and it was SO creamy and there was chicken in every bite. Fried squash has a cornmeal batter, but not dry or gritty. Fried potatoes come with caramelized onions. YUM! Hubby got the chicken fried steak and it was delish! Andy Griffith was playing on the corner TV and the decor is definitely 80s kitch, but everything was very clean. Just a good Southern restaurant with Mamaw's homestyle cooking! ----- UPDATE! I live a ways away, so it's been a couple years since I visited, but I had lunch again today, 9/15/2025, and I was NOT disappointed!! Today on their meat and 3 I got the chicken and dumplings, FRESH hand battered fried okra, creamed potatoes and gravy (SO CREAMY!), sweet corn and a roll. PHEW!! I am FULL!! I would show you the before and after photos of my plate, but Google won't give me the option to upload them for some reason. But trust me, my plate and bowl are CLEAN!! Still only $9.95!
