Always my main spot for a lil something sweet. Love the donuts, service is good, and I can get in and out of the space quickly.

One of the best apple fritters I have ever had. I will be coming back here to try other donuts. read more

Dat Donut - Apple Fritter - Donuts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Dats is a staple in the community, never forget when one of my guy friends introduced me to them over 20+ years ago. However I must be honest since it's been connected to the bbq restaurant, the products have begun tasting like bbq. You can't taste the signature Dats flavor, and this has been my experience the last several times visiting there. Not sure what has to happen, but the store should probably stand alone so that the quality isn't compromised. Dats & Old Fashioned are superior to most donut shops. I'd love for Dats to remain in it's earned and honorable position for quality donuts. read more

I've been going here since I was a kid. I grew up down the street on 83rd. They have the best donuts in the city and their breakfast sandwiches are also good. I'm so glade that they are getting recognized in the media!!! read more

Delicious food! Hoagies are the best and delivery service Great! Reorder all the time...

Dat donut was a little challenging to find in Chicago. There is more than one store at this address inside the same building. I arrived before 8pm and was surprised to find a fair selection of donuts available. I selected a few and found them to be fairly fresh at such a late hour. I also found them to be moist, appropriately sweet, and delicious. This is the closest I have gotten to southern style donuts and I would definitely return for more. read more

The donuts were pretty good. I ordered delivery via DoorDash. Taste and texture was good as well. My only issue is I specifically put in my orders special request " Allergy to strawberry " and when I received my order it had a strawberry donut in there. So that was disappointing. The donut was touching three other donuts in the box. Allergies are serious and could be life altering. read more

Dat Donut - Donuts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Some of the best donuts I've had in my life have been served behind bulletproof glass, and Dat Donut is no exception. We didn't have the room to opt for the giant pie-sized glazed donut, so instead shared a glazed donut and a strawberry donut. The strawberry glazing tasted like fresh fruit, and the glazed variety had the simple satisfaction of a well-executed unadorned classic. read more

Ordered the big donut it was delicious and fresh. Will be back to order it again. I give it a 10 out of 10.

Great donuts m. Great Turkey bacon egg and cheese sandwich ..........................

Never had a disappointing experience, so I guess there's a first time for everything. Stopped in today and purchased a glazed yeast donut and tried for first time a German chocolate donut. Both was dry, the German chocolate was crunchy. Cake donuts should not CRUNCH. If I wanted a cracker I would buy a cracker. Thinking I was doing them a favor to call it to their attention to remove the questionable items - I was told " the glazed might have been left over ??? What? No seriously?? But the German chocolate was made fresh and is hand cut??? As if the hand effort negates a different type of cake donut . I was out $4. Not worth the effort to drive back. I believe in supporting my community but there are other bakeries I have not had any problem with freshness. I guess I'm leaving the hood y'all. Dat's my last donut. read more

The donuts and breakfast sandwiches are great. This is our go to spot. My wife doesn't eat donuts from any other place.

I mean who doesn't love a homemade hood donut spot. I don't! Donuts are made fresh daily. Get them in the morning because by the afternoon I wouldn't dare. They are only made fresh in the morning. Don't forget to buy the hobo outside a cup of coffee, yes he'll ask. read more

Good stuff, them donuts had my collar bone tingling how bad I wanted to eat them. First time having them in a decade, highly recommend!!

I ordered a pineapple glazed donut. Omg absolutely delicious. The cashier was very nice and welcoming and the atmosphere was very welcoming. The donut was devoured before I got to state street. lol. read more

I arrived at 8:50pm and wanted to order hoagies. I was told they had cleaned the hoagie station. Prior to coming, (all the way from the west near Pulaski) I called to put in my order but no one would answer the phone. So we came anyway especially when Google said it closed at 10pm. Arrived only to be told we couldn't buy hoagies because the station was closed and they are not making anymore. Then was told they actually close at 9pm. Please make sure you close at the time you advertise. And please don't stop making or selling prior to closing. It's not fair. read more

Dat Donut has been serving the community for years I love this place. I have buy at least three doughnuts when I come. The cinnamon swirls one are one of the best. Put them in the microwave and they are warm or get them when they come out. I have left a club ans came got some doughnuts. My friend had a restaurant two doors down and we always walked down there to get doughnuts or what ever they had. One of the best ones to go to on the south side.. read more

Okay if this want located in the same building with a barbecue place and a sandwich shop (meaning NO PARKING), in a spot surrounded by crime, I'd put it right up there with the best good old fashioned donut shops. The donuts are fresh and delicious. The lack of parking is a serious drawback, and I'm not walking very far to get donuts on that high crime corner. A security detail in the parking exceedingly small parking lot would go along way to securing a five star rating. read more

The customer service can sometimes be a little iffy depending on who is working the register. They open at 6:30 but breakfast isn't served until 8. The breakfast sandwiches are good and the donuts look delicious. read more

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! read more

I just love, Dat Donut every since I was a teenager when he first was on 63rd and Halsted. There so good I would fellow them anywhere that they go. read more

Although I appreciate the treats I get here periodically, I would pay a premium for better quality ingredients. I like the big dat for what it is, indulgence. My wife likes the lemon cake doughnuts too. However, dark chocolate or ganache is better for the body and taste buds than the cheap milk chocolate. No shade 'cause this is a good shop but it can be better. read more

One of my favorite places in Chicago to grab donuts. They have perfect flavors and a lot to choose from! It's a small store, but they are connected to a BBQ joint. Black-Owned. The service is kind and fast! read more

The dough wasn't as soft as I was expecting and the icing was as sweet or generous as I was hoping. We had strawberry icing, glazed, and lemon cake glazed donut. The lemon was the best. The area is a bit sketch, but the staff was willing to help me with making my order. read more

This O.G. donut shop is classic, charming, and delicious. The only thing you'll find here are no nonsense, no bullshit, perfectly cooked donuts that make you feel good inside and out. If your feeling adventurous is the giant glazed donut bigger than your head. This shop has not fallen prey to the artisan donut trend which is more show than dough. It's just a classic delicious donut made with pride. read more

They have the best yeast donuts, just the right amount of frosting, cake donut holes melt in your mouth and if you can handle the sugar rush try the ginormous donut read more

Always good service and donuts! Try for yourself. They have been around for a while, must be doing something right! read more

Dat Donuts is by far better than any Dunkin Donut even if you got one fresh out the oven. Dat Donuts makes those other donuts feel like bricks (except Krispy Kreme). I remember going to this donut shop as a little girl. This donut shop has been serving the community for decades and is black owned. Get me a chocolate frosted donut and I am good to go. Fyi, they sale coffee as well. read more

Very interesting set up. This donut shop is inside of a building that is another restaurant. It was confusing pulling into parking lot. Once inside you can see the donuts. We tried several different donuts. My favorite was the lemon. It was just like a lemon cake, very moist and super tasty. I also had the double chocolate which did not disappoint either. This would be a great place to stop to grab donuts for the family. Many flavors to choose from. read more

Great Donuts too, Only if you can't get to Old Fashion or Dunkin! Laughing Out Loud.....

Tasty morning treats from friendly folks for a nice price. I'm on a mission (in its second decade) to try all of the apple fritters in northeastern Illinois. The Dat fritter is good, perhaps not great, but worth checking out. It's on the flatter side, so the edges are crispy, which is not my favorite. But the flavor was on point. Aside from that, the regular doughnuts were excellent, both cake and yeast-raised types. Even the next day they were still relatively fresh. Dat also serves breakfast egg sandwiches, which is a huge plus in my book. You can't really eat just doughnuts for breakfast, you know? But if you get an egg sandwich, then the doughnuts can be your breakfast dessert. The one I tried was sausage, egg, and cheese on toast, and it was way better than anything that you can get at a drive-through. read more

Best donors in Chicago! It's been awhile since I visited the bakery but; since I've gotten a reminder I'm on my way

Excellent mom and pop donut shop. Southside staple for decades. Made fresh throughout the day. You can see the baker rolling out the dough and cutting out the donuts. It's pretty cool. My favorites are the buttermilk donuts and the old fashioned cake glaze. Best in the city! read more

Quick stop here on Sunday morning. Been looking for some good strip mall donut vibes (something I miss about LA, and this was it. I've been seeing a decent amount of local chains and national chains here, and didn't want that so I'm glad I came here. Staff was friendly and got the three donuts I wanted quickly. Note that they do require a $3 minimum purchase in order to use a debit or credit card. My silly self didn't have cash on me so I had to use a debit card which I normally don't like to do for small businesses such as these. Anyways, I'll for sure be back if I'm in this area again. Thanks y'all! read more

It's not fancy but donuts thou. They have a good selection on hearty delicious treats and the staff is very friendly!

Just watch your back the area but those glazed doughnuts are totally worth it!! They are massive, soft and delicious!! I was lucky enough to get my donuts right when they brought them fresh and hot from the kitchen. They carry several different flavors!! Caramel, German Chocolate, Strawberry, Boston Cream and Pineapple to name and few! They're open 24 hours a day except Sunday I believe (don't quote me on the day). Check em out!!! read more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl for the famous big donut.. however I moved out of the city due to the violence. Today I just so happened to stop by for a donut, noticed they now sell hoagies so decided to give it a try. I am soo happy I did! My hoagie was perfect! Presentation was a plus! They weren't stingy with the meats! Everything was fresh! Had extra oil as I requested. Ms. Antoinette and the other ladies were soo nice and welcoming. I even called them to let them know how good it was, they took time out of their busy day to answer and still remained polite. I will definitely be back. Thank you read more
