Stopped on my way through Georgia because I was tired of fast food. Didn’t know it was a buffet – not usually a buffet person – but wound up finding lots of things I could eat: baked chicken, steamed cabbage, sweet potatoes, green beans, butter beans, collard greens, and a variety of cold salads. The food was flavorful, tasted fresh, and was, of course, drowning in butter. True southern comfort food and very classic – no fancy recipes or unusual dishes. The staff is insanely friendly and the place was very clean. If you’re thinking about some stupid chain and you’re not on a low salt or particularly picky diet, give this place a shot?

Tried this place for lunch yesterday. What a nice find. A home style food place that is a buffet. The staff was great. I believe lunch was $ 7.50. Lots of hard working guys in there eating some very good food.

Not my favorite place. The food is not well prepared and is not anything to rave about. It seems like a cheap version of a Golden Corral or something.

Went in today for supper. Service was friendly. That is the only good part which is why they got two stars. Food was old — even the shrimp which was full(like it had just been refilled). Meat loaf was almost empty but never refilled in the 45 minutes I was there. Bread was undercooked. Very limited selection of food. Not worth the $ 8 I paid. They are also closed on Saturday which could be a very busy day for them(since they have a four star rating I assume they could have good business on Saturday).

Came here for the first time today. Not really a buffet person but all the food was really good. Service was great and for the price this place is awesome.

This is a buffet for southern cooking. Reminds me of dinner with my family. Strictly home made. Limited selection of food compared to the larger buffets, but they have a rotating menu every day. Food was great, but, like my mother’s fried chicken, it was rather greasy. I just used a napkin to take it off. A favorite for the locals, and the waitress gave it a personal touch. UPDATE — Price is now $ 8.00 which includes tea/coffee. No senior discount.

I am a regular here because I find it delicious and the staff and patrons are wonderful! My 5 stars isn’t for top notch fancy food but for the home cooking deliciousness I crave weekly. What I like is being able to have a couple spoonfuls of everything rather than having to make choices. Love the faux crab salad, all broccoli dishes, warm and cold, are yummy. My newest fav is the fried sweet potatoes(yams) Wow! Even simple things like beans are great The booth seats were all replaced(that I mentioned in previous review). Place is kept clean. Staff is very attentive and friendly. Shout out to Teresa, Nicole, Judy, Renee and Leslie!

Excellent food for a really good price. Their choices are somewhat limited considering they’re a buffet, but that’s probably what allows them to have such a good price. Still love going there.

This is a little gem I found because of Unilocal!It’s a small town buffet with some great food and some not so great food. Try it and I’m sure you will find something you like. The roasted chicken was AWESOME… The Salisbury steak… not do much. The price? That’s the best part. All you can eat and they don’t take all of your money!

This place compared to other Country buffet store is not good food at 4pm not very hot or fresh and is limited on selection. The food here could use some seasoning however the rib let’s were prety good

I totally regret coming here the food in my opinion was not good at all!!! I seriously would of rather driving to Popeyes 4 miles away then eating here but since it was close I decided to give it a try, worst mistake ever! Only good thing is the price but now I see why it’s so cheap

A favorite of mine. Buffet with plenty of veggies. Different entrees each day. Friendly service. Large salad and desert bar with ice cream. Buffet includes drink and is only $ 8.00. They do take credit cards. I highly recommend Donnie’s.

Delicious! We were a little nervous when we first walked in, the place could use a little sprucing up. But their buffet was amazing! Tons of yummy southern food and the staff was really nice. We will be back!

I have been to this place probably 10 times and it has yet to disappoint me! The people are nice, the place is pretty clean, and the food is excellent… They have something for everyone… They always have 4 or 5 different desserts to choose from not counting the little tubs of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream… It’s all you can eat… I don’t really know what else to say!!! Go have lunch and see for yourself!!! Wednesdays, they also have pork chops on the buffet!!! :)

My husband and I went to this place because we can walk there from our apartment. We live in an area that doesn’t have too much culture, save the orange silhouette of the Home Depot from our apartment balcony. Well also, there’s a cool graveyard. So much greasy amazingness in the buffet, no labels, jello garnished with pineapple slices and whip cream. You know what I’m talking about.

Donny’s is not fancy. It’s a simple, buffet style, all you can eat home cooking excursion that’s hard to beat. Donny, the owner, runs a very clean place. The food is a great example that keeping it simple can work. They don’t pretend to be what they aren’t. What the are is a family-type establishment serving freshly prepared, quality food at a ridiculously low price($ 7 per adult, drink & tax included). You’d be hard-pressed to get out anywhere near that price for the amount and quality food at other places. They always have multiple entrees and vegetable options, soup and salad bar, and multiple desert options. As a bonus, Donny offers free wifi. Donny may not have invented this concept, but he damned sure does it right.
