One of my go to places for donuts. I've always found them to be fresh and tasty with plenty of options. I absolutely love their apple fritters! Give them a try.

Prompt service thru the drive thru at 7:15am. The speaker doesn't work but it still has an old menu on it to view before getting to the window. We only ordered 2 donuts but they were both fresh and delicious. Apple fritter had plenty of apple bits inside and had a perfect glaze on the outside. The Boston creme had plenty of custard inside and a nice chocolate top. Chocolate not overly sweet and custard is delish. Might have to avoid tim Hortons and get my weekly donut from here instead.

Gyro egg sandwich and Buckeye coffee

It just doesn't get better than this classic campus coffee shop. With an old-school counter where you can watch the chefs whip up your sandwich to fresh baked donuts coming out by the minute, Buckeye donuts never disappoints!

My friend and I went to the other Buckeye Donuts on The Ohio State University campus previously, but wanted to try the one in the South side of Columbus. The lady at service was great in getting the donuts we wanted and more. They are great donuts, and open 24 hours a day and never close like their campus store. The South High Street location has plenty of parking. I am crazy for the Blueberry donuts. I was not disappointed in the Buckeye Donuts and the service was excellent. I will be going back to the Buckeye Donuts on South High Street.

Very solid donuts here. Not the best I've ever had or anything to go crazy about, but a great old fashioned local donut shop with around 30 different options - that's alotta donuts! We got the buckeye, cream filled, and toasted coconut. All very good. The buckeye was my personal favorite with a peanut butter smear on top. Will have to stop by again when passing through to try more!

Dozen donuts multiple flavors

Great selection of donuts. I was very pleased with my order. I ordered though Uber Eats, and the box was taped up nicely.

Finally decided to figure out where to park to stop here and try their donuts. Found parking on a side street where the college housing was. As we neared the entrance, we saw one handicap parking space to the left of the entrance. So nice they have that! The donuts were good, and still fresh (it was a Sunday afternoon). The best donut I had was the apple fritter. It was the lightest, least greasy one I've ever had. The buttermilk (which is usually my favorite donut), was my least favorite of the ones we tried. It didn't have buttermilk flavor and tasted more like an old fashioned donut. My hubby's favorite was the maple bacon bar. He was surprised to find it was filled with some fluffy white stuff (frosting?), but he said it worked really well. His least favorite was the cinnamon sugar one. The red velvet was tangy and weird, so much so that we threw it away. The devils food was decent. Overall the donuts were good classic style donuts, but definitely not worth going out of the way for. The service was great. The gal helping us was friendly and really patient while we all figured out what we wanted.

Buckeye Donuts is a favorite on campus. Many people don't know that it also has another location. This is on the South side. It has a different atmosphere. One other difference is the food menu. It has just coffee and donuts. It doesn't have falafel or gyros like the other location. This is why I prefer the other location, because of the better menu selection. If you're okay with just donuts you won't have that problem here. The problem though might be the quality. Freshness here seems like an issue. Sometimes it's a problem at the campus location, but here it's even more so. If you're around OSU just go to the one there. It's better. They also have actual food.

The apple fritter is my favorite

What's your favorite donut? My 1st pick is always the apple fritter. The Buckeye Donut with the creamy peanut butter in the middle is another great choice. Always grab some of those old fashioned cake donuts. You know what I'm talking about, the ones with the little square imprints and the sugary icing. All of their donuts are high quality and taste really great. @ohiofoodlover

The best doughnuts in the city! The cake doughnuts are incredible! They keep moist for a few days also. Quick, hometown service!

good stuff and cheap, the building is run-down and lots of weirdo's lurking around the parking lot, but worth it!
