Drove up, middle afternoon and only 1 car in lot. Thought, well, let's see. What a surprise, good way surprise. Food was outstanding. One of us had phillysteak sandwich, one large shrimp the other steak or fajita salad. Everything was delicious. Told others in MO about it, they went and gave great review. When going through Pocahontas AR, Don's will be one of our food stops.

Came down to Arkansas to visit my girlfriend's family and she recommended this place because she said she used to go here as a child when she'd visit family. The food and service was phenomenal. Easily the best steak I've had for the price in all of my travels across the country. The salad bar was fresh and had plenty of options. The fried okra and baked potato were excellent sides. Their sweet tea was delicious. Classic steakhouse atmosphere that seems to have endured over the years (which is becoming increasingly rare). 10/10 recommend. This place has earned their longevity and reputation.

It's probably the best steak house I've been to in quite a while. You won't think much of it when you see it from the road,It's pretty plain, but the food is so good. Our party got a variety of steaks cook diffrent way and all were perfect according to the orderer. Pork chops were awesome. Hush puppies were amazing

Driving through and decided to try. I had a BLT and Onion Rings. Buddy had a sirloin and baked potato. Was absolutely delicious and fast. He said it might be the best potato he's ever had. Steak was seasoned and had a nice crust.

Heard about Don's from some locals, and glad I went. I don't get steak very often because of expense and getting it cooked correctly is difficult. But Don's got the medium filet right. Comes with a salad, which is a one time trip to the salad bar, and a choice of side. I got water, but tax and all it was a touch over $23. I would go back. The menu has other items that I'd like to try next time, and seem to be a great value

Kudos all around! I haven't had such a good baked potato since I was a youngin'. The atmosphere and food were divine, service was attentive and quick, truly a divine gift. Steak was perfectly cooked, and the baked potato was like eating a cloud- not to mention the salad bar (which I will say is a rare thing for a restaurant to have) was plentiful and diverse!
