Donna's Big John's Drive-In

Good food, and service. She is very friendly, has decent prices for the amount of food you get. I recommend trying it out.

My MIL and I went there for lunch. First experience for both of us. We each had the Big John and it was very tasty! And filling, but we didn’t want to waste a morsel of it! I had tater tot’s which I ordered extra crispy and that’s exactly how they were! YUM! Donna is cook, server and cashier and she does it all and still has time to joke around with her diners. It was nice to patronize a “mom and pop” diner versus a chain restaurant. We will definitely go back there again.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not sure if the bathroom was wheelchair accessible since we didn’t use it.

Well, what can I say.... for a town the size of Little Falls, we do not have many choices to choose from that ARE NOT: bar food, fast food, affordable, closed during daytime hours or buffet type setting. When I am asked, "Where do I want to go?" for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, hands down, I am choosing Donna's Big John's Restaurant. At this eating establishment, there are pros and cons. I am the type of reviewer who will try my best to give you both sides of the coin.

Cons: Donna, the owner, for 98.5% of the time, runs the whole show from taking orders, cooking the orders, and serving the orders. By running the business this way, she can be a little testy...BUT if you are someone who is all about the food and cost, then you gotta try her TINY TINY little restaurant. Love ya, Donna, I'm just keeping my review honest. Folks, this is a tiny mom and pop shop, minus "the pop" on the west side of town, that serves GREAT FOOD at a really decent price with a VERY LIVELY atmosphere. This tiny little restaurant is so laid back that instead of waiting forever to get a refill on your coffee or pop, you can get up and go get it yourself, that is once Donna gets to know you.

Pros: The price, the atmosphere (which is rather funny sometimes when you sit and listen to the FRIENDLY banter), the quantity and quality of the food served, and the VERY laid back hometown feel. I mean, really folks, I was just there yesterday (8-25-24), and I saw on her menu that it stated 1 egg and toast for $3.50!!! I would say the price line of this restaurant is $1 to $20 per person.

Kid-friendliness: If you have active kids that just need to walk around, let them walk! It is not a "shush" sort of place!

What a delight visiting this place today. We were served two of the best hamburgers and fries that we have had in a very long time. Donna takes great pride in her hamburgers, and you know it from the first bite.

Donna loves to cut up with her customers, and everyone is subject to some gentle ribbing. So, go in and enjoy the conversations and food.

Thanks for the good food and amazing service. I had the California Burger & onion rings. Both were great. When you come here don't be in a giant rush as it's ran by one Lady whose doing her best. Would try eating here again!

Dang fine burger! Low prices. Plus, I'd much rather support a little place like this than a fast food place that serves food that you really have no idea what's actually in it!
