I love the donuts here. I really think they are selling themselves short. They should charge more money. It would be a shame to see this little gem go by the wayside. Try the buttermilk donuts, they are amazing.

Long time fan of Jolly Pirate Doughnuts. This location in particular is my favorite. Super clean store. Always preparing fresh treats. Incredibly friendly and fast staff. Parking lot is a little small and can be a bit hard to maneuver around when the place is jumping, but it’s worth it. I never regret stopping in for Doughnuts and coffee.

So, this morning(3÷23÷16) I parked right out side the store window ready to go in… I watched as one of the workers behind the counter blow her nose(right in front of all the customers) throw the tissue in the trash and then did the 2-wipe hand check. She went right back to work. No hands were washed. Guess what I got this morning? Tim Horton’s Donuts. I was so looking forward to some Jolly Pirate, but not now. How does anyone that works in food service not know that is unacceptable?

HOLYDONUTS!!! by far the best donuts around and always fresh! Wish they would offer cream filled with chocolate icing as an option for the dozen. However, I always get the thirteenth donut from the case to get my fix.

The donuts were great and the lady who helped us was very kind. We got an apple fritter, blueberry, crumble, and chocolate and they were all fresh and tasty. We will be back.

Let me start by saying I have been going here for the last 31 years and I’m only 36. It was the hometown donut place and honest to God it hasn’t changed a whole lot. The building is old in appearance but don’t let that fool you. The donuts are always good and my personal favorite is the buttermilk donuts. It is very similar to a sour cream donut. I now live about 20 miles away and still drive over occasionally to get these donuts. If you are in town visiting it is well worth the stop. The coconut donuts are good too. I have only three places that I prefer buying donuts and this is definitely one of them.

Great selection of donuts, the ladies working the front of the house are sweethearts and the donuts are very inexpensive for how delicious they taste. Definitely get a maple éclair…omg, so good!

Hello. My name is Tom, and I have a sugar pastry addiction. I am giving 5 stars for the service and the food. So since cheating the diet altogether, I have increased my dosage here. Looking down, I can see how quickly the pounds add up. Why can’t diet food taste like donuts? So it started with just one, once a week. Now it’s shaming. I need to go back to making breakfast. This is the place where employees have hairnets, and flour on their clothes. They MAKE donuts. Not thaw them. It’s been a staple here for as long as I was a kid. As a kid, I sat at the counter with my grandmother and drank hot chocolate with my donut. Age is apparent, but not noteworthy. The minimal seating is basic. The coffee makers are current. No frills. Once you been inside multiple times, and sampled your way through all they have to offer, you find your go-to’s. Hello peanut butter. That’s when you graduate to drive thru. I know what you have, here’s what I want. Rarely are they out of a selection unless someone just bought 2 dozen of their favorite. By the way… A dozen is always 13 here. There is also a Tuesday family night special. The drive thru speaker is very Charlie Brown teacher, you are just waiting to here«pull up». Your first choice should always be, «What just came out». I don’t care what it is, it will be as good as a warm cookie. Your second choice should be something from the OTHER choices. I have gotten into a muffin rut for a while. So good! I cannot speak for coffee or beverages, but the regulars at the counter seem to drink without complaint. *** If still with me on this long confession, remember this. 24⁄7 you can leave your mediocre dessert selection menu, and drive here to satisfy everyone for a more reasonable cost. «Donut Run?» This reviewer cannot be held responsible for any calories or pounds accrued.

We stopped in on a lunch hour and tried a few of their donuts. The building looks(both inside and out) as if it may have been a Dunkie’s at one point, though maybe all donut chains used the same blueprints back in the day. The donuts, however, were not as good as Dunkin Donuts was in the day, and maybe not even as good as they are now. The fillings were very lackluster, and I suspect they were straight out of the bakery pail rather than being house-made. The old-fashioned had very little depth of flavor and paled in comparison to the ones you can get at Pay Less/Kroger. The selection is wide, but the donuts themselves aren’t outstanding.

Great old fashioned donut shop! Friendly staff — great fresh donuts. Better than Tim Hortons or Dunkin Donuts. Made fresh and brought out while we were in line. Cute counter are where the older locals meet for coffee!

Friendly helpful staff, tons of variety, and the old donut shop feel makes me a fan of this place. Were their donuts the best? Hell no. Were they the worst? Definitely not. I’d say they were better than some. Better than the likes of Dunkin or Tim H.‘s for sure. They’re no DK’s. Cream sticks did not have enough cream, but I did love the peanut coated options. Apple fritter was better than most with lots of real apple. Buttermilk was excellent, Jelly was traditional, paunut cake was overly dry. But that’s only the tip of the iceburg. hey had a ton more variety. Price was $ 12.45 for a fancy baker’s dozen. This is a great place to stop for a donut fix that won’t completely disappoint. It’s also got some nostalgia and I think their donut boxes that look like a treasure chest are SO cute! The girl working said kids come in and just ask for a box. Deinitely your best bet for donuts on Main St. Reynoldburg!

Fresh donuts 24⁄7. Selection of 30+ kinds every day. Friendly staff. Small counter area where locals seem to always be hanging out having coffee & donuts.
