Excellent comfort/soul food joint

by retrodaddy

No-frills review for a no-frills Southern joint - Paid $5 for three huge planks o' tilapia, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, cornbread and bottomless cup o' soda. Served up quick, hot and fresh, cafeteria-style. Great food (they also have baked chicken, meatloaf, fried pork chops and BBQ pork, as well as various sides) and efficient service. They also have a terrific marketing ploy in that you'll reek of Donnie's for the rest of the day after eating there, so you'll invariably have to explain to friends and co-workers where you went for lunch.

• Pros: Great value, Quick service
