The chicken looked good but no seasoning was used on it.... Don't waste your money coming here flavorless chicken is all you get

Donahoo’s Chicken is one of those spots that reminds you why simple food done right will always win. From the moment you walk in, the place feels like a hometown favorite—easy, welcoming, no gimmicks
 just the promise of a great meal.

Let’s talk about the chicken: crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned all the way through. The coating has that ideal crunch that doesn’t fall off or get soggy, and the meat stays juicy and tender—exactly what you hope for but don’t always get. You can taste that it’s fresh and cooked with care, not rushed out of a freezer bag.

The flavors hit that sweet spot between comfort and crave-worthy. It’s not “trying too hard” spicy, but it has enough kick and seasoning to keep you going back for “one more bite”
 and then another. The sides are legit too—warm, filling, and paired like they were meant to be on the same plate. You leave full and happy, not wondering if you got your money’s worth. You did.

What really seals it, though, is the vibe and service. Friendly, fast, and genuinely appreciative of your business. That kind of consistency is rare, and it’s why Donahoo’s feels like a place you can count on whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or feeding the whole family.

If you’re a fan of fried chicken that’s crispy, flavorful, and cooked like someone actually cares, Donahoo’s Chicken absolutely deserves a top spot in your rotation. This is comfort food with backbone. Highly recommend

Tried calling to tell you this but since you don't answer the phone, have to put here why you have lost a customer for life because your point of sales machine charged me as a credit card which I never would authorize to be charged credit, and then took over 10 days to process my payment and completely ruined my banking for a week, put a hold on my bank account, just playing games. I did not authorize for you to charge a credit to my account and then let the hold expire so you could charge me later. That is terrible. I will never come back.

I LOVE this place.
Gaby and her team work hard to make this place the neighborhood favorite that it is.
Everything is made with LOVE and you can easily tell by way it tastes just so and the perfect level of crispness.
There is no other Donnahoo's Golden Chicken if you ask me.

Real deal chicken you have to order and wait for it to be delightfully cooked . This place has been here forever. I’ve been coming here or drive-by for 35 years if you want chicken this is the real deal.

Waited a long time for my order which I called in and was told 25 minutes wait time when it actually took approximately 45 minutes for me to receive my order.I used to love this place but this was my 2nd visit in a year and both times the chicken isn't what it used to be not sure if it's changed ownership or not but definitely not like it was when I lived closer. Also the questions about seating there is no sit down eating in this facility to my knowledge it's a to go order only place I believe unless it's recently changed but I don't think it has .

Classic old school fried chicken. Probably not healthy, I believe they fry in hydrogenated vegetable shortening, please correct me if I am mistaken. But everything tastes so good. They've been around forever. Still going strong.
