My parents came down from out of town and we decided to all go grab some dinner. I figured we would give Donna's a try and we were not disappointed! All four of the adults ordered a burger or the tenderloin and an assortment of app/sides to share with the table. My two kids loved their food, the adults were all absolutely pleased, and the food was cooked to order. They have delicious pies (I am not a pie crust eater but theirs is wonderful. We will definitely go again! Donna's Drive In is a great option for diner food classics, fantastic service, and the prices are super reasonable!**Phone died, so no pictures of the food, but I did take a few of the menu**

Stopped at this little place on the way back from Branson. The food was delicious and they offered free ice cream after (it was Sunday)! So glad we stopped here.

Today my family and I went to Donna’s Drive In for dinner. We drove from Nevada MO and it was definitely worth the drive. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by a waitress with a warm welcome and a big smile. The customer service was outstanding, the prices are reasonable and not one complaint about the food. I ordered the all you can eat crab legs and shrimp and couldn’t stop eating them they were so good. Everything came out fresh, hot and delicious. 5 stars are not enough to rate this restaurant. The service was excellent. The place was clean and a great family atmosphere. Our waitress Ally kept our drinks filled and the food coming. Every so often the waitress or owner would come by and say are you ready for more crab legs or shrimp. The shrimp were huge and the crab legs were cooked perfectly. I was so full I was ready to crawl out of there. Afterwards the owner of the restaurant came over to talk to us. She made us feel right at home. We drove an hour and a half to eat dinner there and we would do it again. Anyone who is looking for something different and something delicious to eat, you gotta try Donna’s Drive In. It may seem like a drive to get there, but it’s worth it. I left with a smile and will definitely return.

This is what we expect to see for a Diner today. Much earlier in time what we would see are things in old Western Movies. Like : Liverystables, Bank, Post Office, Diner, Saloon, and General Mercantile Store.Yet here besides Donna's Diner, across the street is a New Community Center for Tightwad Mo, a couple of out buildings, picnic tables and in back is setup to train hunting dogs.

Small little diner in the country. Service was amazing. One woman taking care of the crowd. Food came out fast. We got the tenderloin basket. Tenderloin was huge. Good food
