The food was ok, not great but not bad either. Though I did watch the cook throw some fries that were sitting out awhile back into the fryer. Don't know if that was a normal thing they do or not. Just kind of turned me off there food a little. --["Users/rlsmith"]

	+ ------ + ''2010-10-14 20:38:47'' [[nbsp]] I love Don's. I've loved the place since I was a kid going to school at Brighton, walking across the fields at lunchtime to grab a dog at the old Don & Bob. I loyally followed the crowd down the street to the "new" Don's Original after Don & Bob closed, and I've been going there ever since. + + But Terry Klee sold the Brighton location to his brother a little while back, and the place just isn't the same. They replaced Coke with Pepsi in the fountain dispensers, painted the interior an ugly shade of green and installed TVs in the dining area. They changed suppliers on their bread products, and the dogs are now served on an overly doughy roll that's just not the same. + + I recently asked the new Klee (I think his name is Kevin) if they could at least put something other than Fox News on the TVs there, and he was downright rude about it, even after I pointed out that this was, after all, Brighton, and the odds are good that a majority of his patrons don't find Fox News to their liking. + + "Well, it should be a Fox News town," said Mr. Klee. + + And I think that I can probably get a ground round that's just as good at plenty of other places around town that might care just a bit more about what their customers are thinking. + + Anybody know whether Terry Klee still owns the other Don's locations? --["Users/HotDogFan"]

	+ ------ + ''2010-08-28 20:15:46'' [[nbsp]] Went to the Seabreeze location today - the prices were way too high (16 dollars for two orders of fries, one cheeseburger and one hamburger), the burger was inferior to Bill Gray's or Tom Wahl's (although the hot sauce had more kick), and the fries were uninspiring. The sundae I purchased was a total ripoff - I was overcharged 50 cents for a total of 4.75 for an infinitesimal amount of ice cream. It should've been 4.25 (still terrible expensive for the volume), but the girl did not appear to know the prices on the sign. --["Users/SargtGrumbles"]

- ''2007-05-11 09:23:19'' [[nbsp]] Don's Original is so synonymous with Seabreeze that I can't even imagine anyone going to another location.

I'll surely grab a great burger and split an order of onion rings before taking a long walk on the beach and settling into a good book.

Look at how Tom's and Bill's have to offer a lot more coupons to entice people to come to their places, where Don's offers very few coupons to entice people to come eat at their locations. Around here, it seems that a lot of our local places decrease in quality once they start expanding (think McGregor's!). --["Users/DabeernFooddude"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-07-20 19:13:19'' [[nbsp]] I can see how Don's and Seabreeze bring out a lot of nostalgic feelings. The smell of the grill, and the lake - it's old school, and proud of it. + + You enter, and there's a row of seats at the counter, a few tables on the side, and that's it. No line, no place to order, it's very cramped, and it seems unorganized. Credit to the waitresses behind the counter, who do a very good job at getting the orders in, and keeping track of them. + + The burger's good - a little crispier than it's competition next door. So are the fries, and onion rings. Tasty, but nothing earth-shattering. + + The real star here - echoing other posters - the chocolate almond frozen custard. I much prefer it to Abbott's. The salted almonds make a big difference. Try it! --["Users/ZachSmalt"]

	+ ------ + ''2007-05-11 09:23:19'' [[nbsp]] Don's Original is so synonymous with Seabreeze that I can't even imagine anyone going to another location. I never, ever go in the Winter but when Summer rolls around (in just a few weeks!) I'll surely grab a great burger and split an order of onion rings before taking a long walk on the beach and settling into a good book. If I still have room I might even attempt to get some chocolate almond custard, which, yes, is indeed far superior to Abbott's. --["RochesterGuy"]

Judging from the pictures on the wall in every Don's, as well as on the website, your experience today is not all that different from what it would have been in the early 50's. Customers still order by lining up behind a large "All Service from This Counter" sign and choosing from a brightly-painted menu board. The food is cooked as you wait. Seating is either in a booth or on a stool at the counter. And Don's crowd still consists of a wide range of customers, including teenages, families with kids, and older folks. + + Don's slogan is "Where Quality Predominates", and it attempts to live up to that standard by making fresh what is often pre-packaged at newer fast-food restaurants.

The original Brighton location was sold to another owner in the 70's and has now closed. The Seabreeze location remained under the control of Don Barbato, the original Don, who changed the name to Don's Original because of issues with the original Monroe Avenue location. The new Brighton and ["Penfield"] locations have opened in the last few years. The full, convoluted history of Don and Bob's and Don's Original is available on the website. + + [[Comments]]
