My coworker and I recently reached out to the Donkey about having a luncheon following a funeral on behave of our friend. Getting a headcount for this event wasn’t really possible and it turned out to be HUGE. Debbie and Stacey were wonderful at keeping up with all the food and drink orders and even though it was a lot larger than anticipated we were so happy for the amazing turnout and service!

Our server Debbie S was not welcoming from the beginning. We waited for 10 minutes before she arrived to our table, gave us our menus and walked off and never asked what we wanted to drink.
When she did arrive back to our table about 10 minutes later, she asked what we wanted and till did not ask what we wanted to drink until we said can we order our drinks. When Debbie came back, my Girlfriends son asked what oil does the kitchen use in the fryer as he has a peanut allergy....read full review

I stopped out for a couple drinks with friends. The ladies behind the bar were less than friendly and seemed put-to serve their paying customers. I not only waited for my drinks but also waited ten mins for my check while standing at the bar - with 2 others seated at the bar! Super disappointed. When went down the road to meet other friends they said it was typical. Wow!!
