I cant speak on behalf of thier food. But, the service is definately not the best. The prices are inconsistent depending on who waits on you. They also don't even come out to the tables. On multiple occasions my friends and I counted more then two dozen bottles on our tables along with plates because the servers refuse to come clean them up. If we wanted a drink, we had to go to the bar which resulted in a prolonged wait time. More specficially, there was 4 people at the bar. She was worried more about chatting it up than waiting on a paying customer.

It appears that they have turned into quite the biker bar. It's pretty intimidaing when coming with family and friends. They are quite loud and very obnoxious. It also appears that they hire biker rock bands to preform.

So I gave Donna's a try after not being there in years. I was really pleased with a couple things. First and foremost, it was CLEAN. That is a huge issue for me with bars/restaurants. Second, the service was pretty quick and our waitress was very nice. Though both things are important to me, there is always the food.

I'd heard there was a new chef and was excited to see if there was an improvement in the quality of the food. The menu is great; a good list of starters, sandwiches, and dinners. That said, I tried the cream of crab soup and was disappointed. The crab tasted like the canned/cheap stuff. I decided to play it safe after that and got a sandwich and fries. Garlic fries were good; simple but different. The sandwich was a bit boring. I thought it'd be difficult to mess up a chicken sandwich but it was really underwhelming. I'd be inclined to stick with the Broadway Diner on Eastern for such fare; I was hoping to find a new spot.

I think I'll give it another shot, especially since so many people say the new menu/chef is great. Of course, my first experience was different. The cleanliness and friendliness earn it a second chance.

As a neighbor of Donnas, (just a few streets away), not only do I appreciate a nice place to stop in for a good meal, but I appreciate the the owner(s) supoort neighborhood initiatives. Donnas has participated in 'Clean-Stream' park clean-ups, Christmas events, and has advertised regularly in our neighborhood newsletter (The Red Rocket Review). As a restaurant/bar owner, thery are ever conscience of the fact that they are a business operating in a mainly residential area, and are respectful of any concerns that the neighborhood may have. Recently, Chef David has taken over the kitchen and all food preparations. The menu is new ( but old favorites are still available). The food is top notch, and even presentation is a pleasant surprise. If you haven't been there lately, now is the time for a re-visit. You won't be dissapointed.

I have lived in Dundalk for many years and I have been in many water holes(Bars). Donna's is a place you do not want to miss. The Bathrooms
tell a lot about a place, and needless to say Donna's are super clean. Most old timers will tell you " Do not be afraid to eat where the restrooms are clean" Thumbs up to Donna's

Donna's Tavern and Restaurant has the parking you need to make your visit very easy. It is the best kept secret in Dundalk. I hate all these other places that have NO PARKING. I'd like to see Donna's promote the outside because it is really nice.

Nice Nice Nice. You can tell a lady owns this place. If I could own a bar I'd do it just like Donna's. The pool tables are DIAMOND Table " " not junk"

I have been going to Donna's for 18 years now and I have seen it transform from a small narrow bar when it first opened back in the late 1980s to a huge beautiful place that my husband and I and our family and friends still enjoy. I pick Donna's because they always recognize you and treat you like family and they know how to make the most out of each holiday a great celebration worth remembering. Lots of great memories at Donna's. Friendly atmosphere, yummy food, and always great entertainment whether it is kareoke, a band playing, a holiday celebration, or DJ night..... DONNA'S ROCKS!! -Kelley

Been to Donna's a few times and have always had good service and enjoyed the atmosphere. The new chef is terrific. Whenever I'm in the Dundalk area, I always try to stop by. Highly recommend. Wish they should open a second location in the Parkville area! - hint, hint ;)
