Such a cool place with an amazing buffet and friendly staff. Located in a historic area and it is very clean and cozy. Destiny is an amazing Manager/Waitress/person…. The entire staff really was great.

Love eating here and know owners well. Only complaint was that our server never looked us in the eye, had to be asked for items amd then she would bring to table and would literally push it on the table as she was walking away. I did tip even though I shouldnt have tipped as much, as Im hoping she was just having a rough day or something personal going on. I felt like we were an inconvience to her. Food was great, atmosphere was great, very clean and welcoming….will def go back and maybe our server will be having a better day!

We ate at Tellico Junction Cafe in Englewood ,a little while back. Horrible. And to think we paid for that too. We came to Donna's and was very very pleased with it all. The food was hot and very well made. A little of something every which ya turned... hot food NOT barely warm to cold... We went for breakfast and even got a piece of cake that wasn't completely dried out (Refering to the other restruant) Oh No!! It was moist and great. The service was wonderful and prompt. Fair price. We paid something like 14 per adult. The atmosphere was warm and very cozy. I read about the family business per a flyer on each table , and found that very interesting. Love the Dolly t-shirts. Next time I'll get one!! Great Place Everyone. Go Check this out,ASAP.Thanks everyone..Sallie

First of all, just an amazingly charming town , a flashback to Mayberry if there ever was one!!! Now Donna's: A spacious dining room that is very nicely decorated. We were greeted so warmly when we walked in I thought they thought we were someone else!! The buffet is everything they say it is and more We had breakfast and the offerings are almost too much, eggs, biscuits, sausage gravy, hash browns, bacon, chocolate gravy!!! French toast , pancakes all made right there in front of us.... They were bringing out fresh biscuits while we were there and they are to die for I can't say enough, and prices are so fair and reasonable!!!

Great little restaurant in downtown Madisonville!! Food was delicious and dining area clean and quiet. Ordered the Reuben sandwich...wow!! Delicious!! Meat was moist and bread wasn't dry. Nice sized portion. Ashley was our waitress. A BIG shout out to her for being an amazing waitperson!! Very, very kind, polite, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She really made sure we were pleased and enjoyed our visit. Thank you for ensuring we were satisfied. When back in the area, we will definitely be back!!
