Goodish food. I saw the reviews online and a couple friends said that Donn’s is good. And it is good, but not great.
The meat is a little dry, and the smoke ring is missing. Half of the brisket was way over cooked. I’d expect that in other states, not Texas. In Texas bbq needs to be cooked perfect. Something interesting is the sauce, it has vinegar like North Carolina vs a traditional tx bbq. Why four stars instead of three?
The potato salad is creamy, smooth, silky, and amazing. I have never had this texture before. It literally melts in your mouth. If I was thinking summer picnic, six out of five stars. But I wanted to bbq, and this fell short. But that potato salad, wow.
The lemon meringue pie is good too. Cooked to perfection.
The absolute best burger in Austin!!! Juicy meat patty, fresh bun, just delicious through & through!!! Didn't realize it would be so big so I had to pack half of it for later. Great flavor, speedy service, friendly staff. I:be had their BBQ, breakfast tacos, Tex-Mex and more and everything is always on point!! Fresh dessert including banana pudding & a variety of pies.
Not much of a fan of the taste of the barbecue sauce. I got the three meat plate. The sausage was a bit dry, the brisket was fatty as I was chewing it I was somewhat gagging because of the fatty texture in my mouth. The ribs are great. I'm not much of a fan of their barbecue sauce. It could use some improvements. But over, it's a decent place. A bit pricey. Three meat paid with a drink cost me roughly $24
Great little hidden gem! The breakfast tacos are def worth the $2.50!! Def try the pork chop taco! It isn’t on the menu but it’s pretty good, you get a whole pork chop in your taco! I really loved the self serve stuff w the onions, pickles, lemons, salsa and jalapeños! The salsa is really good! I had the bacon and egg taco and my bf had the pork chop taco and a bacon egg and cheese taco. We also had fried okra and it’s some of the best I’ve had !! Very crunchy and super fresh.
I order the sides, I like the many options, don't care too much of their main food. The outside area is sketchy, but inside, the staff is friendly, and the place is clean. I also like that it's not crazy busy during lunch. All the sides you see was $27.43, including a water bottle, they were all the smallest size.

Still enjoy their food very much, and so did my husband. Prices are fair, not too expensive. I have tried their migas plate, barbecue taco, and sweet tea, all very nice. 😋😋
Clean local with a little wear of seating. The moist brisket sandwich was delicious, the serving of cold slaw was very large but taste was not blend. Over all good lunch place.
DELICIOUS moist brisket sandwich at Donn's. I will be back FOR SURE! THANK YOU!
We ordered pork rib plate and Chicken Fried steak plate. The quantity was good. Food was hot and tasty. We loved the pork ribs . Chicken steak was little dry and the white sauce was little bland but otherwise the food was great. The sides were also amazing specially the Spanish rice .
Delicious pork ribs that took ten napkins just because of how juicy they were... So freaking good. Amazing green beans, slow cooked and still crispy. Boyfriend got the lean brisket and it was phenomenal. I wish I had tried the creamed corn and banana pudding.
We ate this at 1030a. We got BBQ for breakfast. Most people there when we arrived were eating breakfast and it looked amazing. But we ate BBQ for breakfast. (!!!!)
The team was great and friendly. It's clearly a local favorite as folks were pouring in from Church while we ate.
Very walkable from Oltorf, <5 minutes on a giant sidewalk from the La Quinta.
Previous reviews have said the area is shady ... All I can think is those reviewers must live in the suburbs. The only thing unsafe about this location is walking next to a frontage road with giant vehicles going 50mph, and even that is safer thanks to the 12' wide sidewalk. Seriously, we commented on how amazing the sidewalk is.
I was only in there for 2 min picking up a to-go order. It was nice and cool in the restaurant and had nice vibe. Windows were tinted which I liked. I wasn't going to leave a review but the food was so freaking good it convinced me to. I had the 3 meat plate with brisket sausage and ribs with fried okra and potato salad as the sides. Ooh la la I will be back
