It's a shame it's hard to find a OK breakfast spot that not over$8.00.Dont judge me I'm far from cheap.I just don't think breakfast should cost that much.I get the sausage links with 2 eggs and hash browns and two pieces of  toast.And it's under $8.And the food is good.And if you order bacon they really cook it.I'm not a big fan of the service.The tall waitress show favoritism or special attention  to people of the Latin descent.The short waitress is ok.The owner I met a few times is a nice guy.
Review Source:MAN!  you ever get drunk and you're friends are hungry and you just wanna go to sleep, but the group you're hanging out with keeps on bugging you and you can't really do anything about it, so then you have to submit  to their wishes and go to a restaurant?
WELLLLL! Â NEXT TIME you go to some lame warehouse party on the south side, everyone is still up from too much coke and you've already done the after after party, and you are nearby Don's, Stop by! Â It's not the morning, but you can pretend. Â
It's greasy but you like it. ^_^
He asked me how they liked their bacon cooked.
Really
That alone would have guaranteed 4 stars. Â An omelette of bacon (cooked to my liking) sausage, and grilled ham of the bone sealed star 5.
This place is all counter, almost all breakfast, but all top notch.
He asked me how I liked my bacon cooked.
Yep
I may or may not be biased because I am a regular of about three years at the diner. Â Everyone knows that this is 'The Diner,' the one place to go.
Anyway, this place has yet to disappoint. Â A diner, where you come sit at the counter (because there are not tables) and they cook your food right there in front of you on the flat grill? Awesome. Â And the service is always to-boot. And I can say always because I have been probably each and every hour of the clock (That's right - they're open 24x7). Â The three standard waitresses are all lovely, and the guys that work later in the day and the night shift are awesome too.
The food is delicious. Â All very simple breakfast food, cheeseburgers, ect. Â I generally cannot steer away from the corned-beef hash; its so wonderful! The pancakes are yummy, bacon is always hot and crispy, and just went in for a burger with fries today. Â If you go to either of the three McDonald's in the area you're a fool, because Don's sells a much better burger and fries, and for cheaper!!!
Whether you're coming in from the bars, want a quick, hot breakfast before work, or have the taste for a mid-afternoon burger and fries, Don's is definitely the place to go if you're in the area. Heck, if you're in the city, because other diners just don't compare, this one is even clean! and I mean CLEAN. Pure happiness.
The mornings are the best!
I usually get the grits with a slab of cheese in between. Wow the grits are heaven. Very down south but I am sure they are not real down home grits, ah, but what do I know I am a midwesterner. Now to the coffee, what! They serve probably one of the best coffee's around, even knock Dunkin Donuts on its knees! I simply enjoy the fact that Janet (the morning server) is just always pleasent and always ends her conversation with "thank you honey". She makes it worth it and this is why I tip her ALL THE TIME. That morning sunshine makes the day begin just right. Don't take my work for it, but go there yourself.
Yes this is an old fashioned diner/truck driver stop and I am so happy it is still there. Although it should be on Route 66, this place is just what it is and polished to the point of  just right. And when you order a grilled cheese sandwiche, they actually have taken it all the way old school with a side of pickles, this is something all the old diners use to do but have now lost over the years. Details people, details!!
They have everything on the menu, and I have had a few other things, but the morning breakfast is just perfect for the price and for the "thank you honey". Love em'.
You're the man, Don!  Every time I go to this place I get the same 2 things: great service and a great price.  I have yet to get one thing on the menu that doesn't hit the spot.  The staff is always very friendly and easy to talk to while you're waiting for your food (which is never more than 8-9 minutes).  Convenient for West Pilsen folk as there aren't a whole lot of other 24-hour options around. They've got  yummy milkshakes for dessert.  One downside, it's entirely counter seating so it's not a great place to bring a group.  Another bonus: they serve breakfast all day.  All in all, a great little diner.
Review Source:Came here last weekend for the PR Fest.
After Betty's Blue Star Lounge we came here. Â I wasn't hungry myself; they had some breakfast food and I had coffee w/ cream and sugar.
Damn good coffee though; perhaps next time I'm in the area I'll try one of those burgers and fries to go with my shake...
Well my friend says 4 and I say 2. Â The food is well diner food. Â The greatest and only place in the area is the best way to describe it. Â Our band's studio is nearby and we sometimes stop by for a quick hangover bite. Â It definitely has the history of chicago in it and is worth the experience of the smallest diner ever. Â With its slim counter space you can see your food bein' cooked up right in front of you. Â
Enjoy this south side diner, and live to tell well you must be a true chicagoan or somethin'.
why go anywhere but DON's, absolutely the best hamburger and fries I have ever had, Now grant you the neighborhood is , shall we say, not the Northshore, but who gives a hoot, these are the best, Grreat grilled onions, great hot hamburger buns, great fries and pickles. Even the generic ketchup tasts good in my books. A bit far from where i livwe, but when I am in the neighborhood, it is a must. I want to try the breakfasts, they look great when I see the cook cooking them, the bacon looks like it is to die for. Oh well, I'll see you again Don's, and your delightful diner!!!!!
Review Source:This is my favorite diner in Chicago.
It has an old school long counter filled with old men on spinny cracked-vinyl stools.
It smells like a diner should - of fresh grease and fresh coffee.
The staff is colorful and hilarious.
The food is perfect greasy spoon goodness.
I recommend.....everything. In fact, I'm going to go and get some pancakes right now.
YUMMY!!!! Where do I begin??? The breakfast sandwich is plenty scrumptous with a side of coffee. If you are a night owl like me and with a place that never closes the pancake stack served with ham off the bone is sure to hit the spot. The establishment is old fashion trucker stop with the spinning stools to sit on. You can watch your food cooked right before your eyes since the kitchen is right in front of you. Did I mention super fast service too!
Review Source:This is a great spot especially after the club! It's open 24/7. It's not crowded like hollywood plus the food tastes fresher and better!
Typical diner fare. Everything tastes pretty good and they're quick!
There is usually one waitress and one cook but late at night they usually have two waitresses.
I love the cheeseburgers! Yum!
This is truly a hole in the wall place that I'm sure you have driven by a thousand times. There is one counter with stools so space can be limited.
Watch out for the creepy trucker guys during the day. I think those guys haven't seen women in a looooong time! lol
Holy smokes, this is the best diner I have ever been to! If you'd like a regional history lesson with your 3am omelette, this is the place to go. The incredibly cute and chatty counter waitress has quite a few funny stories and the gentleman who's cooking your food couldn't be more charming.
 They boast an extensive menu of artery clogging goodness which is what most people who are up that late need anyway. A great late night spot for South Siders who like their servers full of life. I can't wait to bring all of my friends there!
This place is definitely a throw back in time! It's one of those trucker's diners that just has a counter around the grill and one cook and one waitress. It's usually a show watching them work...especially the cook, they are such whizzes at the grill. Good food and people watching at this joint. They are open 24/7 so if you happen to be passing through you can just pull up into their parking lot and have some good ham on the bone or pancakes, or greasy cheeseburgers...or oooh their fries. Good eats!
Review Source:this place is the greatest. its open 24/7 and the waittress is a real number. she looks like grumpy and sometimes she wears a grumpy hat for added affect. the food is super cheap. typical diner shit. really good breakfast. after the bar this is one of the greatest places to go it doesnt have the kitsch of hollywood grill or the old/new white palace.
originally the sign was supposed to say dons hamburgers but somebody spelled it wrong and dons humburgers it stayed! watch out for the gang bangers they like to eat late too! ha they wont bother you though. the short order cook is a magician w timing!
The diner food here is good. Â The sign is cool. Â But my favorite part? Â The plywood box they built around the video poker machine (after they got busted for paying out)! Â If it's still there, you'll see it on the right by the entrance. Â If you're an "insider" I imagine they'll let you into the plywood box and you can gamble away your social security check!
