Donovan’s Pub
For heaven between two buns,
there’s no better place to go than
Donovan’s Pub. This popular
Woodside eatery cranks out the
tastiest burgers around, wowing
guests with every juicy bite they
take. Donovan’s patties are formed
from freshly ground New York Strip
steak and broiled to a perfect char
(they’re good at any temperature,
but we recommend medium rare!),
complemented by fresh lettuce and
tomato. Make your burger ever the
more special by loading on tasty
toppings like green peppers, onions,
mushrooms and bacon. Don’t forget
the cheese, of course; melt on some
cheddar, American, blue cheese,
Swiss or something else. Pair it up
with a side of crunchy fries or onion
rings and you’ve got yourself a burger
you’ll tell all your friends about!
