Classic burger joint, it has always been solid and it's a great location. I generally get a burger and then walk out the pier which is pretty prime. I've always got the burger with everything and it's always been good.

I understand that everything has gone up in price but, WOW... 2 burgers, 1 VERY SMALL fry, and 1 large Pepsi was almost 30.00!! Not to mention the mmmm... . 12 fries in the container for 6.00 was VERY SMALL. I over heard a guy ordering 2 double bacon burgers with NOTHING ELSE get his total.... $42.00!! I almost fell off my stool!! His eyes were in complete shock as well. Now, the food IS GOOD- But NOT as good as these prices think it is!!

Fun place to stop while boating in Irondequoit Bay! My chicken sandwich was delicious, and pickles that accompanied were a nice addition. I would recommend getting a "value meal" however otherwise, everything else is a la carte and gets pretty pricey! My only complaint....food is yummy!

Don's is great. I love the place personally. It's my favorite local burger 🍔 joint. I always get the ground steak meal and that's a little over $11. Ground steak, fries and a drink. They offer hard or soft roll and either grilled or "off the char" for your hamburger. But..they are also know for their rib-eye steak sandwiches. It's competition next store gets a lot of hype but Don's is the hidden gem. Give it a try.

I've been visiting Dons' Original for over 40 years. I love their burgers and frozen custard. For todays visit, i brought my mom,and we had frozen custard. We reminisced about living across the street and enjoying a visit for ice cream every weekend when visiting my grandmother. Today, service was fast, and there were no crowds at 7pm. The quality is the same, and we totally enjoyed our frozen delights. We highly recommend visiting and enjiying the entire menu

I grew up in Rochester and my mother started taking me to Don & Bob's (now Don's Original) in Seabreeze in the early 50's. Their burger (a ground steak sandwich) is the perfection of this American classic. And, the hot sauce they make on the premises using a closely-guarded recipe, makes it a truly unique experience. I order my sandwich on a soft hamburger bun with everything plus extra hot sauce, and add a little ketchup for sweetness. Request their complimentary pickle slices, and if you want a side, I recommend the fried onion rings. Their motto is "Where Quality Predominates". Remarkably, they've consistently lived up to that promise for the 70 years I've been going there. If you're in Rochester, this is a must stop. If you like burgers, I guarantee you will be amazed and delighted.

This is the one and original ground round Burger in Rochester New York. There are others that come close, but this is the best. I always recommend people get a cheeseburger on a hard roll, onion rings and a chocolate malt with dill pickles

I went here back in October after fishing for the day on Irondequoit Bay and honestly I was impressed! The outside of the building may look old and run down but the food is amazing! I ordered a cheeseburger with simple toppings and steak fries and I was satisfied! I will definitely come back to try more options!

Had a very tasty fish fry with really well-cooked steak fries and coleslaw. Felt great eating that at the outside tables on a beautiful sunny day with friends. Service was great, look forward to my next visit!

Even on a busy day, the food was fresh and hot and the service was fast! The meat sauce has a unique flavor and great spice to it. We also recommend checking out the playground nearby and taking a short walk to the beach if you have the time/desire.
