★★★★★ 5.0 Valerie Hammond · Jan 2026

My husband wanted a mom and pop burger shop! I dont think a better one exists! Small, homey and perfect! The waitress was excellent. But let me tell you about the food! Both of our burgers were AMAZING! The fries and onion rings were cooked to perfection! Love a restaurant who has vinegar on the table! We were seated beside a local couple who had never seen the 2 burgers we ordered and they were astonished. Very friendly atmosphere and very busy! Lots of little shops in the area to make it a day trip!

Just awesome! Everything you want from a small town diner. Spectacular onion rings, great burgers and a Texas tenderloin as big as the plate.

The Don's Special was an amazing burger. Maybe my new #1. Their burgers are the type of burgers that you can't put down.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Diana Seger · Mar 2026

Don's Downtown Diner is like stepping back in time into a hometown greasy spoon. It's a friendly place with waitresses that are eager to please. The prices are a bit high for the quality of food but for a taste of history it is worth it. The hamburgers are greasy but delicious. Sandwiches come with homemade chips but if asked what side you want be sure to ask if your choice is a substitution for the chips or if you will be charged full price for a different side than the chips. The bathrooms could use a remodel. They don't appear to be very clean but I think they try to clean them but the fact that the fixtures are so old makes it appear not to be very sanitary.

Excellent food, welcoming staff, Milkshakes... thick served in stainless tumblers with spoon and straw. Good stuff. We would frequent Don's more often if we didn't live an hour away. You won't be disappointed.
