Donna's Kitchen - Gus Thomasson in Mesquite

Tonight the wifey and I debated a number of places to do for dinner and couldn't come to an agreement, so we settled on a place I think neither one of us really wanted to go to. We have both eaten breakfast a number of times at Donna's Kitchen, but it is pretty hard to mess up biscuits and gravy. We have lived about a mile and a half from Donna's Kitchen and it has been in business for at least 20 years and neither one of us had ever eaten dinner there. We have eaten in every restaurant in the same shopping area, but not Donna's. So we did the Pachanga to Donna's.

First of all, Donna's is behind the 7-11, you can't see it from the street.

So we went in and started looking at the menu. They had meat loaf on special tonight and Mitcho is a meat loaf kind of guy. However, wifey informed me that we were sharing a dinner and we was ordering chicken fried steak. So we ordered cfs and I ordered pinto beans to go with my steak. The chicken fried steak just didn't look very good when it was brought to us. We suspect it is a not so good frozen steak. The crust wasn't too bad, but the steak was grizzly, had a weird consistency and didn't taste all of that good. Sure glad I came here for dinner tonight. The pinto beans were a basic pinto bean and tasted ok, Mitcho would prefer his beans to be a little more spicy. The corn bread that came with the meal was a little sweet and tasted pretty good. The corn bread was the best part of this meal. I also had a roll just to see what they tasted like. The roll was ok, but nothing special.

All in all, I won't be back for dinner. Call this a breakfast joint and leave it at that.
