Dons Original Restaurant

Don’s Original Restaurant is a cherished Rochester, New York institution, serving up classic American fare – juicy burgers, hot dogs, and frozen custard – since 1945. Rooted in a legacy of quality and community, we’ve evolved from a humble roadside stand to a beloved local landmark. For over eight decades, Don’s Original has been a cornerstone of Rochester’s dining scene, consistently delivering a memorable experience.

We cater to families and locals alike, offering a nostalgic taste of Americana alongside a commitment to exceptional service. Today, under new ownership, Don’s Original continues to uphold its proud tradition, preserving the values of quality and community that have defined it for generations. Our focus remains on providing a welcoming atmosphere and delicious food, ensuring that Don’s Original remains ‘Where Quality Predominates’ for years to come.

We are proud to be a part of Rochester’s rich culinary history.
