The Dishes
Donna's serves up classic fried chicken that lives up to its decades-long reputation. The reviewer sampled their chicken strips, which were well-seasoned and flavorful even without sauce. The accompanying sides were equally impressive: creamy mashed potatoes, fresh coleslaw, and notably, their butter-laden bread rolls that the reviewer praised as exceptionally soft and buttery - rare praise from someone who has visited many fried chicken establishments. Steak fries were also available and came highly recommended. The reviewer got creative by assembling a chicken skin taco with chicken meat, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and hot sauce, proving the versatility of the ingredients. To drink, they ordered a titanium boba milk tea, which paired well with the hearty fried chicken meal.

Donna's maintains a casual, accessible atmosphere perfect for quick dinners or takeout. The restaurant has been serving the Pomona community since the 1960s, establishing itself as a reliable go-to spot for quality fried chicken. The service appears straightforward and efficient for a casual dining establishment.
Value and Pricing
