I'm always around this area but it wasn't until my little brother came to visit and yelped breakfast spots is how we found Don's Diner. I must say if you're driving fast and you can definitely miss it.
They have a nice selection for the menu but we came for breakfast. The price was right and the food was plentiful.
I ordered home fries with peppers and onions, turkey bacon, two scrambled eggs and pancakes.

I love the unexpected, rough and crude edge to this place. The staff owns every interaction so just sit back and...
Read moreAmazing diner! My husband and I try to check out new breakfast spots on the weekends and we really got lucky finding Don's. From the minute we walked in we were treated like longtime friends/regulars. Our waitress, Marcie, went above and beyond to make us feel at-home and made sure our coffee cup was always full while keeping us laughing. We both tried the Wet Judy breakfast sandwiches. (Mine with bacon, my husband tried the hot sausage). Both Sammy's were perfect! Even the coffee was great-which is not usual at diners.
