Welcome home, friends! We’ll kick things off with Happy Hour Tonight!

Tomorrow morning we’ll have pre-parade Bloody Mary’s ready at 8am.

We’ll be selling some special homecoming merch at 10am

Ribeyes, Porkchops, Porky Burgers, Grilled Chicken, Brats and Chili coming off the grill before the football game.

And Drake Stuart just might be bringing his guitar back to wrap up the night.

It’s our favorite weekend at Don’s Place and we can’t wait to see you in True Blue.

We said Happy Retirement to our Deb, the glue that holds Don’s Place together every single morning. We aren’t sure what we’re going to do without her but she sure deserves this retirement more than anybody. Cheers to you Deb! ☘️ Thanks for all you’ve done for us!
