48 Best American Restaurants near Donna

“Just moved to the area and as I was driving around, I ran into this neat little café. Right away, it caught my attention, so I decided to come in and see what they had to offer. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. It feels so cozy and reminds me of going to my grandmother's house on Sundays. Being here, we decided to try out their panchos, and I must say, wow, just so tasty! I highly recommend this little café and everything they have to offer.“

“Good size burger, but you pay for it. 16 dollars for a burger with cheese no side. Homemade burgers with good taste and fresh toppings. Small menu with only fries and onion rings. No debit or credit cards, only cash is accepted. There are no signs on the outside, so it's hard to find. Closed for the summer only open in the winter and only open 11am - 3pm. Limited seating and parking.“

“Great food and service!! Hamburgers, fries, and onion rings are so delicious. Highly recommend this place!!“

“Friendliness and respect is not common among most diners, yet here at Dennys San Juan, Texas of The Rio Grande Valley Of Southern Texas it’s very much included! What’s the best way to start,A meal? I would say is to be included and made felt like family! That’s what you Shure would find- here at Denny’s, along with a hot, ready,made meal just the way you order!“

“We haven't had a date night in awhile and this restaurant did not skip a beat. From mouth watering food to exquisite drinks. The ambience of the restaurant, the excellent service, and the overall elegance of their specialty rooms. We are definitely making this restaurant our destination for every anniversary to come.“

“I had a good experience at Denny’s restaurant on University Drive In Edinburg this morning. Samantha, our server, constantly checked on us. She always made sure to be cheerful and attentive. Cassie, a server not assigned to us, had an ever-present smile. Her smile radiated so brightly that it lit up the mood of my friend and me. These two young ladies made our visit to this place extremely pleasant. I recommend sitting at the bar. The bar is where the staff assembles to retrieve their orders. It is where you will always see smiling faces. Here is where they have more of an opportunity to face you and gift you with a kind comment or beam another bright smile in your direction.“

“Update: tried their cappuccino smoothie with banana and strawberry. I think it's my new favorite!

Great place for a quiet lunch. Crisp service and delicious food. But don't even LOOK at the pastry case! You'll go home with something against your better judgment.“

“Due to unseasonably cold temps, we couldn’t get a real feel for the atmosphere, but you can tell it’d be fun when busy. David was our waiter and he was incredibly friendly. He greeted us outside before we even got to the door. He told us about all the specials and was quick with service. The happy hour and daily specials were unbelievable! $5 appetizers, $6.99 for (hand-breaded, house made) boneless wings and fries. The fried pickles and onion rings were also delicious! This is a great, relaxed environment with great prices and great service.“

“Fun time watching the playoffs games while enjoying great food. Ask for Rachel as a server, she’s a just a wonderful server!“

“Rudy’s serves good BBQ with juicy brisket, savory turkey, and delicious sides. The green chili stew is my go to on cold days. It’s a hearty stew with potato and beef. Huge baked potatoes. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. Highly recommended for satisfying BBQ cravings. Drive thru is available.“

“Food was ok. Beans were bland but was better when added the salsa they give you. Got the omelette but eggs were over cooked. They should never have brown on them. The Shipwreck was better.( eggs, bell peppers, bacon, onion and cheese all scrambled together). The best thing about the place was the cinnamon roll! It's huge and tastes great. Daughter loved it.“

“I visited today and had the worst customer service experience ever. These two girls that are together in the picture were the ones that caused the problem. I wanted to sit down with the group that I was with and they refused to let us sit together. They wanted us in separate tables when there was enough room for us on one table. They said we would be cramped and I told them that we did not mind. We were not blocking an exit or causing a safety hazard but they refused. These two girls were talking about me and making fun of the fact that I was handicap. I asked to speak to a manager. The manager came out and got a table for us that would fit us better. I told her that those two girls were very rude and we making fun of me but she did not seem to care. Her husband came from the back and told me that if I was not happy I could leave. I told him, I know I can but I wanted to bring to his attention how these girls were acting. He told me if im going to have an additude to get out of there. With the leadership this girls have it is no wonder they are giving the crappy customer service they are giving. To them I might just be one customer they will lose but if they keep treating people this way they are going to lose many customers and one day they will feel it. This place is to be our go to place every week but I will never be going back for sure.“

“This is an old restaurant older than 80 years. Their specialty are hamburgers and fried chicken !! Still as delicious as when I was a little girl. It's an old building with great tasting food.

Wheelchair accessibility: Has a good ramp for wheelchairs.“

“I've always found Applebee's to be good and enjoyable when I'm there, but not quite good enough to be first choice when I'm trying to decide where to go. It this case my steak was tasty but just that teeny bit less tender than the competition, and the background music was fine, except that one song about wanting to "kiss your a**" that was inappropriate in a family restaurant at dinner time. Still, the spinach artichoke dip was wonderful, as were the veggies. UPDATE: My wife and I went today and found it was "burger Monday." $8.99 for any of their burger plates is a good deal. Less expensive than fast food“

“Food and service is good!“

“Muy rico todo los helados“

“Great food, service, nice restaurant, and I will come again someday.

Vegetarian options: A wide range for Vegetarians, including cheese sticks, and more.

Parking: A little difficult to find parking when busy.

Kid-friendliness: They have kids menus, making it kid friendly.“

“Nice place to relax and enjoy some good food. Classic homemade burgers are delicious!“

“We always have great service, one of the best servers is Lupita Cavazos❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Took my mother for her birthday lunch, and the food and service were great. Our waitress was on top of everything. There was a moment when a table behind us had employees sitting chatting about being body shamed and another complaining about only making four dollars on tips from a table. Certain conversations shouldn't be had out loud in front of customers, I feel bad for the young lady who was body shamed, though. I don't know if it was from a customer or employee, but the gossip was rather loud.“

“amazing place and the hospitality while decorating a event“

“Nice little find. We didn't eat but enjoyed the drinks. Loved the interior and the outdoor seating, but the music was way too loud for 4 pm, which is why we didn't eat here. Great area to antique and get a drink. The fruit added to drinks is just for show. The pineapple was hard, and the cherry was flavorless.“

“O only wish they had zero alcohol beer for those of us who enjoy the taste of beer but don't want the toxicity of the alcohol. The boneless chicken nuggets and vegi "wings" were great!

Vegetarian options: Cauliflower vegi "wings" are great.“

“I was just there, and I feel like puking. the beans are from a can, the macaroni uses powder for cheese and tasted like melted plastic...nothing is fresh as it has been under a lamp for hours and hours. I will never return as this place has gone downhill over the years. Buyer beware.“

“The BEST chicken fried steak ever! Tender and delicious! The atmosphere was super nice and rustic! The whole experience was awesome! The service was top notch super friendly people! We will definitely be back and bring friends and family!!!“

“the fajitas and brisket are.always great“

“Great place good food and drinks“

“service was exelent ! food mmmm ! no doubt very good !“

“muy buen servicio al cliente, la comida está deliciosa , precios accesibles el lugar muy limpio“

“First time ever eating some food from Longhorn Steakhouse. I didn't eat there but ordered something to go. I ate their cranberry, strawberry salad. It comes with a wheat roll, which is a plus. Both the salad and wheat roll were quite tasty 😋“

“This ihop is very friendly & cares about the customers experience. The whole time servers were asking if everything was good , constantly refilling drinks, making sure the food was just how we wanted it. We came with a large group & they handled us with ease. Great job !“

“I like to visit this place because it has good flavor, although you have to wait a little longer than normal for them to serve you, and once they serve you they forget about you, so if you need something else you have to wait but there is a person from Name Claudia who serves very well and is charming, they have a lot of people but wait for someone to come up and call them and they will serve you. The place seems clean and the prices are affordable. The beef broth is luxurious.“

“Oh my oh my where do I begin David who took our order was so amazing he got everything right and didn't miss a thing and Kevin who made the food deserves something special because holy moly that food was amazing the best meal I have had gee willy give these 2 people something because they deserve it“

“I was having an issue with the app putting in my order and Eric was very accommodating and patient with me. Despite being in the middle of a rush he made sure to attend to me with the issue I was having. The crew was great as well. Eric has good customer service.“

“I've been coming to eat at this restaurant for so many years like 23 years ago. The staff is so respectful, courteous, very attentive and professional. The food is so delicious ? and madly fresh, there's some meals that take a little more longer than usual but the wait is worth it. All the Tamez family are so nice ? I totally recommend everyone to go eat a great lunch or even better breakfast cause there's not a single day that everyday in the morning it's packed with people.“

“really good food , tried the tower burger and the burger was big the meat quality was really good , fries tasted very fresh , the place is nice the staff is friendly and the service was quick, definitely going back.“

“We stopped from breakfast for mu husband and lunch for myself. He had the chicken fired steak which was quite good but definitely could have been so much better with a small amount of additional gravy, it was quite sparse. I had the classic chicken sandwich which tasted pretty good but the chicken patty was equal to about the size of 4 chicken nuggets so was rather disappointing. Our server was GREAT especially considering the restaurant was very busy. Weslaco TX“
