History
The first Donnie's was opened in Avondale Estates, GA in 1991. Once simply a hole in the wall, Donnie's now has 5 different locations with ample seating for our great customers. Though each location is now independently operated, Donnie and his wife can still be found cooking and serving customers at the Clairmont Rd location in Atlanta. Mrs. Donnie still does all the short order breakfast cooking, while the whole Donnie's family operates and manages the restaurant on a daily basis.Though you may not find many advertisements about us, the patrons in the neighboring areas find our food as a must have. With roughly 20 years of southern cooking experience, Donnie's is able to deliver the best fresh and delicious soul food to keep you satisfied.
Specialties
Donnie's has been one of the premier southern style soul food restaurants in Atlanta for almost 20 years. Unlike most places, we are able to provide great tasting healthy vegetables that are not cooked with meat. We also offer catering services (not full-service-i.e. server for event) and are happy to sell you our famous sweet or unsweet tea, lemonade, or fruit punch by the gallon. Stop by to taste our country fried steak on rice, baked chicken, beef tips on rice, or bbq pork. Or you can go the all veggie route with our addicting cabbage, baked macaroni and cheese, collard greens, or sweet corn to name a few. Make sure not to walk out without trying our amazing peach cobbler or a banana pudding if there are any left!
