Donnelly's — Restaurant in Newmarket

I'm writing this on behalf of my Nana. She was having breakfast with my brother yesterday morning (September 16) around 11 in the morning. This place has always been a spot for us, as well as her boss and company's spot to eat for a years now. Everything was usually good until the horrible service they had then. Not only only did it take them a while to be served, they served patrons that had entered after them. Leaving them waiting, once they were served it took half hour to get the food, only to have a hair in one of the breakfasts. Being turned off from eating, they asked for a refund. For the one dish with the hair! They didn't eat it, who would!? The lady that served them, unfortunately the name escaped my Nana because the lady was so rude! Accusing her of being a free loader and being some kind of person that scams because they don't want to pay for anything. She offered to pay for everything that she ate! She just wanted a refund for the breakfast that they couldn't keep one of their employees hair out of, perfectly reasonable. However, the lady made a scene and embarrassed my family in front of many other customers. We used to eat here all the time, after the way she and my brother were treated in their restaurant we'll never be back, neither will any of our friends. Try Excellent Grill just down the street, been eating at their place for over a year without any form of disappointment. Their food is always fresh and good, as well as the service always...

I love this place. I felt compelled to write a review for Donnelly's because I saw a recent low review stating that the food was salty and the restaurants cleanliness was not up to par. Neither of these things are true in my opinion! It's a very clean restaurant, I've never received a dirty spoon or stained coffee cup. I mean, it's a little breakfast spot, are you expecting pressed linens and crystal glassware? The food is EXCELLENT. The chefs seem like great guys and they work hard. Best breakfast in Newmarket. I've brought many people here over the years and everyone always raves about it. The staff is incredibly gracious and welcoming, they always go out of their way to accommodate their guests. I and the people I've gone with have tried almost everything on the menu and nothing has disappointed. Their breakfasts are big and fresh, and I love their lunch menu (top picks are their California wrap and their burgers). I was surprised that I didn't have any pictures of my food... so I guess I'll have to go over and now and get some. I'm telling you, give this place a chance. You won't be...
