Don's Original Restaurant & Pub

Wonderful little pub! The plates we got were amazing and huge. The workers were nice and attentive to us as soon as we walked inside. Everything was clean and as soon as another table left the workers were cleaning it up. A nice place for a quick lunch and a drink.

We went here today because they did a fundraiser with the Penfield Girls Swim team. This location is always helping out in this way. I have been here for fund raising breakfasts as well…

Today’s fund raiser was Big Plates (garbage plates). They were donating 3 dollars for every plate sold today.

For those of you have not been here it’s converted over from a Dons Original / Pub combo and set up the same. In one door is counter service similar to Dons Bill Grays etc. and in the other door is a pub style bar type area.

I have not been to the bar area but I’d stop in if I was in the area. And I think I saw a sign that said beer and a burger 10 bucks M-F 12-3. The details maybe off so don’t quote me but that would be a good place to meet a buddy for lunch.

The plates were very good. The meat sauce will make or break a plate and theirs is very very good. The burger patties are not the tiny patties you get at some places. They were large and good quality. I always cover my mac salad with meat sauce so I can only comment the combo was great. Fries and home fries were as expected.

We took the plates home and I split one with my daughter. We were both full. If I ate the whole thing myself I’d have been on the couch. My wife and daughter got one each. My wife has yet to eat hers but my daughter ate 1.5 burgers and about half the rest of the plate. All that swimming makes her hungry!

I look forward to a beer and burger someday and I’d return for a really good plate for sure!

Great cheeseburgers in the classic Rochester style.

I was very happy with the Fish Fry. I have last Friday. It was very good. The service was good. The place is nice and clean and I was very happy Mr. Bill.

I'm not sure why so many gave 4-5 stars. Ordered a mushroom cheeseburger and was totally disappointed. The burger was very small and dry like it was cooked earlier and kicked to one side. For the price, I expected a bunch of mushrooms on the top, but there were so few I hardly saw any on top of the cheese. I chose a 'hard roll' which wasn't. It was a poor bun that was dry as well. If you compared this burger to McDonald's, Mc would win hands down. Not worth $11.00
