Dondie's White River Princess

Best of the best in Arkansas!  Great food and superior service - served hot!

Good stuff.

Fried food extravaganza.  
They are really known for the buffet, but if you read my reviews, you know that I rarely eat them.  I've been there a few times, and my dad and grandpa tend to get the buffet, they love it.  Catfish, Crawfish, Fried everything.  
I order from the menu and have always enjoyed my meal.  Do not go there for the meal of a lifetime, but for the restaurant deprived region of East Arkansas, Dondie's isn't bad.

I implore them to at least make it where you can B.Y.O.B.  if you are not going to offer beers and wine.  

Last time I was there I had had a few drinks and really wanted the prime rib.  I'm all about beef, and knew what I was getting into ordering such a cut at a place that doesn't consider it to be the specialty.  It was as expected, a 4 or 5 of 10, but it didn't matter.  I needed beef and I got beef.  And it seems like I ordered a pound of boiled shrimp a la carte(peel and eat).

Right on the river with a great evening view in a old steamboat inspired building.  Dondie's is a Grand Prairie favorite that serves up deep fried goodies along with baked selections and a vast array of veg head selections.  Come here anytime and you will get the gist of a family run restaurant that is run efficiently, serves the community and is a great place to eat for couples up to big parties.  The food is outstanding and frequently freshened up.  there are shrimp, catfish, chicken, frog legs and other southern favorites.... enjoy!
