The first Donell Cafeteria opened about 1956 in the Westmoreland Heights Shopping Center. 3115 Dawes would have put in on the southernmost strip of center, probably at the east end across from and facing the old movie theater. J.J. McDonald was the general manager. In May1958 a second location opened at 328 West Jefferson, about 2 blocks west of Zang. Hours (at least for the Jefferson location) were 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, except Sunday. According to the latest view on Google maps, the Dawes location has been repurposed as a small store or an AmVets center and the Jefferson location is unoccupied.
My parents liked to eat at the Donell's in the Heights Shopping Center. The food was good and the prices were reasonable.
