Don's Original Restaurant & Pub - American restaurant in Penfield - 2055 Fairport Nine Mile Point Rd, USA

Had a Big Don cheeseburger plate, it was excellent, the Mac salad and fries were both great, the hot sauce was excellent as well. My friends had cheeseburgers and they loved them. They also loved the fries and the hard rolls they got with the burgers...

Had lunch here. Service was quick. Burger was delicious. Fries were hot and fresh.

I used to go to Don's multiple times a month, and was there enough to be friendly with the owners. Now that I don't live in the area, I haven't been in a couple years. The pub area looks pretty much the same, although the tables are nicer than they used to be. It was very clean. The food, however, has gone WAY down hill. I'm embarrassed that I brought a friend who had never been. I ordered a burger because in the past the burgers in the pub were always a half pound, and nice and thick. They were well worth the price. Not anymore, apparently. The burger I received was thinner than a McDonald's hamburger! It cost me $14.95 for a burger that was paper thin! I appreciated that I could get a gluten-free bun which tastwd fine, but the burger was not good. My friend ordered a turkey panini and there was 2 slices of deli turkey on it (no exaggeration). Her sandwich was so thin. I was so embarrassed that I had raved about the food before we arrived. Her sandwich cost about the same as my burger. I know times are tight for everyone, but Don's, you need to do better! $14.95 for a burger that should be sold on your fast food side for a fraction of what I paid is ridiculous, and frankly is a complete rip-off. $3.95 for an iced tea also seems a bit steep, but I'm assuming it's free refills (I didn't get any so I'm not sure). Friendly staff, clean surroundings, but completely over-priced. I won't be returning on my next visit which is sad bc Don's has been a family favorite for many years. I'm still blown away at the price I paid for such a thin burger.

Recommended by a local for a good "Garbage Plate" dish (a local staple), and Don's did not disappoint. The chili sauce was a perfect topping! Service was excellent, as was the food and adult beverages. This place is a treasure.

A Rochester classic. If I can’t get to the original one by the lake I come here, same quality but not the same vibe. But very clean and less crowded with friendly service. Love it.

Been going to Don’s for 10+ years. This meal left A LOT to be desired. The Reuben had a pathetic amount of meat on it. Like, a shockingly little amount considering the $15 price tags. On top of that, the onion rings were so under cooked they were crunchy. Oh, and those were an up charge.

One of the best things about our 2-3 trips to upstate New York every year is we get to dine at Don's Original! I could eat there everyday. I wish they had one in dallas! Katie's soups are off the chart delicious, and Alisha and all the other servers are super friendly and excellent at what they do! Don and Karen take great care of their restaurants and their staff and it shows! Can't wait to see you guys again this summer! :-) Katie, you totally killed it with the Manhattan clam chowder this Christmas! You're totally my favorite! :-)
