    Food was fantastic, little disappointed in the shake. If you pay extra for toppings and there's hardly any on it you question why pay extra for it.

    Food was fast but the burger buns were soggy and overall not worth the price. We got the old fashioned in the crock pot and it was so watered down with soda we couldn’t finish it because it was so sweet. Great place to have a milkshake but that’s about it.

    My wife and I both ordered the cheeseburgers, both were good. Only complaint is the use of cool whip on the shakes, they’d be so much better without the gross cool whip and using real cream whip.
    Don's TV & RepairResponded 3 days ago
    Hi there, Mark! Thank you for stopping by. We are glad you enjoyed the burgers! The reason we use whipped topping rather than whipped cream is due the structural soundness of whipped topping! Whipped cream doesn't allow us to add the fun toppings and melts really quickly. We appreciate the feedback and look forward to seeing you another time! Cheers, The Repair Team at Don's

    Fun place, for sure. Keep an eye on your final tab to make sure "specials" are honored.
    Don's TV & RepairResponded 3 days ago
    Hi Jeff, thank you for choosing to join us at Don's! We're very sorry you didn't fully enjoy your experience with us here at Don's! The Lemon Drop martinis were charged correctly at $5 per Lemon Drop, rather than the full price $11 on any other night! Only our classic or dirty vodka/gin martinis are the 10 cent ones! Sometimes the new staff members do not effectively communicate this and we are sorry for any misunderstandings! We'd love to make it a 5 star visit next time. If you could provide an email so we continue our communication and find a way to right this wrong, we would love to do so! Hope to talk soon. Cheers, The TV Repair Team at Don’s
