Dat Donut

Doughnut the size of my head and it's delicious I usually have the glaze or pineapple. Great product at a fair price not too much sugar great texture. A+ Doughnut

11/7/2015

Definitely a place you stop by when you're in the area. The apple fritters are huge. Next time I'll try the lemon and carmel donuts.

11/7/2015

Best donuts on the Southside for a reasonable price.

11/7/2015

I LOVE making the trip to this place for my sweets. I am born and raised on the south side of Chicago and this is definitely a staple! No question I am willing to bypass several Dunkin's for these large, home made, buttery-soft delights. Don't buy these and let them sit around long, while they do keep a million times better/longer than store bought, it'll cause you to miss out in that warm excitement ;-)

Donuts are a tradition in my office for any occasion warranting a treat. I'm generally not a fan, and always skip out to avoid heartburn. Someone recently left boxes from Dat Donut in the breakroom to celebrate a promotion...and passing through, the smell was so intoxicating I could not resist a peek or a taste. I tried half of one, and went back for another half later in the day. Not too greasy, nor was the glaze too sweet! If you are passing through the Chatham area, I would certainly plan a stop.

Because they have the Giant doughnut.

Great, stuff!!!!

I'm always up for a good fresh donut so a friend and I went to Da Donut and was amazed with the variety. My favorite is the lemon filled which I can eat all day. Donuts are fresh and hearty.

6/15/2016

My son really enjoyed himself, the donuts were very good but it could be cleaner.

6/15/2016

Great donuts! Very friendly staff

6/15/2016

Love all their donuts. I have to stop in every time I get ribs next door.

7/17/2016

Doughnuts are baked fresh and very tasty!

10/31/2016

My all time favorite donut place. I absolutely love the "big dat" both glazed and chocolate covered. Always fresh and you can actually see them making them which I think is super cool.

10/31/2016

Takes me back to that dounut shop under the train on 63rd Halstad when I was a kid. Good fresh tasty the best around. Chicago's best

10/31/2016

Very tasty donuts. But the variety sucks. Unless you come in the wee hours of the morning, your choices of donuts are greatly reduced. Why dont they simply make more throughout the day? That's like having a shoe store but you only sell 3 types of shoes. Sad.

10/31/2016

I have travel far and wide, I have tried just about every donut and coffee shop, however; none by far have ever come close to the five finger licking good as Dat Donuts. And the coffee is so smooth, you will want to order a large.

12/1/2016

They have the larges donuts in the City they sell they are good when there heat up great places for families and friends to buy glaze 🍩 donuts highly recommend this place.

12/1/2016

Dounts are fresh and. Tasty and the cashiers are nice. Too

12/31/2016

Friendly service and great doughnuts. Better than DD!!!!

2/2/2017

Great donut shop. They are know for their giant glazed donut witch is fantastic, you'll skip your next meal if you have it. Cash only if I recall.

2/2/2017

Just an all around great donut place. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but they make by far the best donuts I've had in Chicago. Prices are really low and the donuts are huge!

2/2/2017

Been eating the scrumptious donuts for 24ys .Even when they were on 76th racine.

2/2/2017

Polite staff friendly environment good breakfast sandwiches and delicious fresh donuts

3/2/2017

Fresh donuts daily. Hot coffee.

3/2/2017

You can't go wrong with Dat Doughnut! I know what I wrote!

3/2/2017

Man these donuts are fire!! 24hours too! Omg, i like every donut too, they don't make those weird ones, they just make good ones..

4/2/2017

So the jerk rib tips I ordered were good, but more hot than I was expecting. The service, however, is awful at this establishment. The people act as though you owe them something personally when you're the patron. Everyone seems to have a look of disgust of their faces. This is definitely not the type of service that I am used to. I will not be visiting this establishment again based upon the service alone!

4/2/2017

Good selection of great tasting donuts. People come from all of Chicago to get some.

4/2/2017

The donuts are delicious. The help's disposition is pleasant, with the exception of one bad encounter with the help and I have not seen that individual again.

5/5/2017

My favorite donut shop! The glazed donut is fresh with a perfect ratio of glaze to dough. The outside of the donut is hard and the inside is soft and tastes like heaven. Better than any donut that I've had, going here is worth the drive and you will not regret it!

5/5/2017

I absolutely crave Dats😆 Their donuts melt in your mouth!!! My family and I gets Dats at least once a week 😀

5/5/2017

This donut shop is a hidden gem. Known for their giant glazed donuts. Don't leave without trying one of the strawberry frosted donuts.

6/6/2017

Good stuff. Money gotta be right . Small coffee 3! Love the coffee shots and breakfast sandwich's

6/6/2017

I love this place!!! From the Turkey, egg and cheese croissants to the ALL NATURAL fruit smoothies!!!! If you haven't been you definitely should go!!!!

6/6/2017

OMG.... I love the bowtie that doughnut is my favorite it is soft fresh and sweet 💖 I've tried another but this is the bomb!

6/6/2017

Best donuts in Chicago. Hands down. Been coming here since I was a kid.

7/7/2017

They are ok I still like dunkin donuts better they need a drive thru.

8/7/2017

YES, DAT DONUT! It was so good I had to go back for a 3rd and 4th donut. Also had my first ever pineapple donut and I gotta say it was pretty great!

8/7/2017

Friendly service. Fresh donuts made from scratch. Great breakfast sandwiches and coffee.

I went to the Dat Donut on 82nd and Cottage Grove since it's located in my community. The time was about 3:50pm on August 13. Unfortunately, the middle aged woman that waited on me had a terrible attitude from the moment I stepped to the counter. On top of that, she misheard me and made a mistake with my order and when I pointed that out, she began fussing and blaming me for the mistake in my order. Mind you, I said it pleasantly. If you work in customer service, be pleasant to the customer. It wasn't a complicated order, nor was I being difficult or unpleasant back. I think she needs to be trained or placed in another position away from people because it's tiring dealing with unpleasant workers. It takes less energy to just be nice. Anyways, I went there because the donuts are always good, but I think I'll take my money elsewhere until the service gets better.

9/8/2017

Best donuts in the city, hands down. Better than stans, glazed & infuzed and all those other hipster joints. Good customer service for the most part too. Keep up the good work!

9/8/2017

Home made fresh old fashion donuts very good and tasty. if This my opinion go check them out.

9/8/2017

Excellent donuts! Get the big daddy! Cheaper than a regular stans!

10/8/2017

Great donuts, but be careful when you try to take them out of town. They'll be dryer than a powder house if you don't store them in something better than the bag they give you. Mine went stale in 8 hours. Still, I recommend the place - even with the bad service.

10/8/2017

I love these donuts . The glazed to die for. The coffee is always smooth and hot. Staff very friendly and fast.

10/8/2017

See delish donuts... Made fresh on-site... Sooo good. Inexpensive and they come in a jumbo size also. Fresh fresh fresh... Go early. They sell their first batches quickly.

10/8/2017

No beards no tattoos...

just delicious OLD SCHOOL DONUTS.

All the favorites are here - maples, long johns, crunchy old fashioneds.

They have coffee too, but none of that fancy mess.

No tables, so get your order and GTFO.

Bring CASH.

11/9/2017

Great, pastries always fresh. Have to get there early. They go quickly

12/10/2017

The Donuts Are Awesome! They are consistently fresh! The staff is GREAT!

1/12/2018

One of the best place so the South Side gets old fashioned donuts and good ass ribs

1/12/2018

Be ready 4 a serious sugar rush when eating one of these donuts. Very sweet, but good too!

1/12/2018

Late night counter service sucks! Very rude! Terrible customer service skills!

2/13/2018

Never got a donut in a bullet proof lazy susan before; definitely a first. Kinda gross having bbq smell next to a donut shop but open to the charm of it all. The place is scuzzy and suggest getting your donuts to go.

2/13/2018

OMG! I could taste the donuts now..so good..and there is a bbq joint right on the side of them...go here and you won't be disappointed

I tried two yeast doughnuts (strawberry glazed and caramel glazed) and the double chocolate buttermilk old fashioned. The buttermilk old fashioned was slightly above average. It was definitely better than firecakes, but not as thick or moist as Stan’s, so depending on your preferences for texture, you might love this fluffier although slightly drier doughnut. The yeast doughnuts here are amazing. I’d rank them below panaderia Nuevo Leon’s, but above every other donut shop in the city, so second in the city by my lights. These doughnuts are yeasty and the right combination of moist, fluffy, sweet, and chewy, realizing all of these qualities with an almost perfect balance! My favorite, esp if you’re going for something sweet, was the strawberry glazed. The glaze does give the whole doughnut an extra punch of sweetness so beware. I also liked the caramel glazed, esp if you are going for something not as robustly sweet. The glaze for this one was delightfully subtle, since you really had to concentrate and reflect on what you are eating and notice, maybe ‘feel’, for the flavor, something only subtlety of flavor demands you to do. I personally liked that, but someone in a rush may be to distracted to notice. Service was great. Look forward to having more of their yeast doughnuts!

The ribs are out of this world. The smoke them with a sweet wood.

2/13/2018

Love them donuts. Nice and hot as u buy them

3/13/2018

I love these donuts the taste just runs me crazy they are the best keep up the good work.

3/13/2018

Excellent service! The donuts are absolutely one of a kind.

4/19/2018

My favorite donut place in Chicago. Fresh, tasty, large, and affordable. The Dat donut is large enough for three people and is delicious! Move aside trendy, hipster, overpriced donuts. This is the way donuts should be - fresh and for a good price. Definitely worth the ride (and getting past the decor/external)

4/19/2018

I love this place and the fact that it's black owned. The customer service is pretty basic and don't mind the hungry people outside. They're still our people. The only thing I can't stand is I get off at 6pm in Oakbrook. I literally go out the way to support you all and you can't understand simple business ethics like supply and demand. Every single time I come there you all have little or no glazed cake donuts and that's all I like. Please do better. I am a patron and can't get there in the morning.

4/19/2018

The donuts I got tasted good and I got 3 of them plus an apple juice for $5. Note: they require an ID if you pay with a debit or credit card... And a $3 minimum purchase.

4/19/2018

This doughnut shop is the best in Chicago - fresh, creative flavors, lots of variety and authentic. The dough they use is the real deal and eating a Dat doughnut gives your craving the satisfaction you seek. It is so good that I am going here today for my birthday instead of having a boring cake! Breakfast sandwiches and coffee are great too!

Easy to get to from the Loop or Hyde Park. GO TO DAT Donuts!!!!!

4/19/2018

Everything was good. The young lady who took my order was very nice. I love the doughnuts and I will go back again.

7/20/2018

No line no wait, open 24 hours, convenient location, available parking lot parking. Fresh donuts!

8/23/2018

Good Doughnuts fast and friendly PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. 👍👍

9/23/2018

It's okay. I've heard ppl say they had the best doughnuts in the city so I decided to try them. I went Saturday morning and was REALLY disappointed. The doughnuts definitely were NOT fresh. Maybe they taste better on weekdays.

9/23/2018

The donuts are very good and very reasonable prices. I like to treat my family and friends to their sweets. I got there anyday for a dozen before dunkin

10/24/2018

Love their giant donuts not too sweet and very fresh

10/24/2018

Made me stop eating donuts in my home town Joliet . Best donuts

11/25/2018

Hey if you are looking for a place for GREAT donuts; I have the answer for you! Dat Donut is one of the best pastry stores that I've ever had. Along with improved facilities, Dat Donut 🍩 is a good time awaiting. Dat Donut is truly a place to go when you want a refreshing pastry with a variety of: coffees, smoothies and othet assorted pastries. Also, it's housed in the same building as wonderful barbecue restaurant with plenty of upfront parking.

11/25/2018

11/25/2018

I absolutely love this place every time I crave a donut I stop here to soothe the craving.

11/25/2018

11/25/2018

Not impressed at all. Dounuts where good but nothing you couldn't get anywhere else.

2/13/2018

I tried the classic glaze doughnut and the caramel cake and both were delicious. The glaze doughnut was light and fluffy. I warmed it up and it basically...read this and 208 more
