Reviews
The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with dim lighting and comfortable seating that’s ideal for both couples’ dining and small group gatherings. The restaurant has a cool steakhouse vibe with signed dollar bills that range from many years of happy customers.
What really elevated our visit was the exceptional service provided by our waitress, Heather. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and offered great recommendations. Heather’s friendly demeanor and professionalism added a personal touch that made the evening more enjoyable and was a 10/10.
Prices are good and in line with what you’d expect from a quality steakhouse. Overall, Donanelle’s delivers a solid steakhouse experience, made even better by standout service.
*They also have an outdoor sitting area.
We were the 1st ones there. Orders were taken. They had catfish basket on the childrens menu, tried to order it because only other catfish on the menu was in the middle of a lettuce sandwich. I prefer crispy when fried. I was told I could not order from children’s menu although was same price as the as fish sandwich. I asked that the catfish not be put in the sandwich, but bread on the side with catsup. Rest of friends orders were taken. Each person’s food was brought out at different times so that everyone ate their meal before the others got theirs. My meal didn’t arrive. Waitress came out and said problem with fryer it would be a little while. Even though my sisters food which was fried and delivered, when she told me mine would be delayed. Everyone had finished their meal but one,, he was having difficulty eating the ribs, I know God gave us teeth but really. . I just asked for mine to go because everyone else had finished. People were waiting for tables in a wet outside dining area, which they were forgotten also. People walking out because drinks were served but meal was forgotten. Had to ask for it. Very unorganized, poor service. Except for one meal at our table, was poor. Ribs were so tough, couldn’t eat it. Baked potatoes hard and barely cooked. When paying for the meal we noticed prices were higher than stated on menu, waitress stated, it was an old menu. Place was packed but for the life of me, I don’t know why.
I will never eat there again. For the price was not worth it. When I got back to hotel and opened my bag, I had a soggy, greasy fish filet buried under just lettuce, no tomato, no ketchup for $14.99 and 3 soggy onion rings that i was charged $9.99.
Parking is “get in where you fit in”, and the plain, drab, old rustic cabin exterior do not prepare you for the Rabbit Hole you are entering.
Every inch of the walls are plastered in Promissory Notes, of different denominations, and cool Halloween-ish decor.
There are tables all around, with people eating and chatting, and like-wise at the bar, where your average selection of cold bottles brews call to you, enticing you to sit down and listen to an eclectic mix of intelligent conversation, as you peruse the very minimal, extremely simplistic menu.
The limited selection seems arbitrary at first glance, but when you try almost everything on the menu, as I have over the months since my first visit, you will understand that they have Mastered a specific range of smoke, spices, and VERY FIERY rubs, that will light you on fire, but in a sinfully delicious way!
Ribs From Hell, Wings From Hell (bring antacids)
Will scorch you in a creatively sadistic manner, and the STEAKS!!!! The Rib Plates…… Whether you are a local who hasn’t been here, or a traveler passing through, if you see that neon sign, boasting that Unbeatable Meat, do yourself a favor, and give it your best shot. You won’t be disappointed. And if you are… well…. you may just be a snobby A-hole. Just sayin
