Walked in and immediately greeted with the smell of donuts, yum! We asked for donut recs and got one of each of their most famous flavors: vanilla bean glazed and old fashioned. Both were delish! The glazed donut was fluffy, sweet and my fave. My husband loved his old fashioned donut! He said it was crunchy yet moist. We also both got the Hot N' Spicy chicken sandwich which was so good!! Flavorful and spicy, with toppings that helped add some freshness to it. Pair it with a soft brioche bun, and this sandwich was heavenly! Def check this spot out for breakfast! One of the best places we tried while in Chicago! read more

I saw glowing review after glowing review, so I decided to make my way out to a Do-Rite after landing in the early morning in Chicago. Pulled up just before 6:30 AM on a weekday and there were just a few folks ahead of us in line, but service is quick. Cake donuts were actually pretty solid here; the Blueberry Cake Donut was the best item, super soft and moist with a good amount of berries throughout. The Pistachio Cake Donut for some reason was texturally firmer and drier than the other. Unfortunately, the fried donuts were all misses. The dough was just really dense and none of the toppings really hit. The Glazed Donut just made me sad that the dough was bad and the bacon on the Maple Bacon Donut wasn't crispy, so you got a cold, chewy, greasy bite that wasn't super pleasant. The chopped dough pieces in the Apple Fritter were also oddly firm instead of soft. For a place with rave reviews, I was pretty bummed by the donuts, but maybe the fried chicken sandwich is where it's at. read more

I had the egg and cheese sandwich. Hot, fresh, tasty... though flavor-wise it was giving "Midwestern safe choice." I stared at the spicy jalapeño version for a solid minute before deciding I enjoy my digestive system too much. Then came the gluten-free cinnamon donut covered in chocolate. Made with potato flour and apparently forged in the depths of pure butter and chaos. Heavy as hell. Delicious as hell. Roughly all the calories I'm allowed for the month. My husband inhaled his like a man seeing civilization after weeks at sea. I also had the old-fashioned buttermilk donut dipped in what I think was vanilla glaze, and honestly? That donut knew exactly what it was doing. Service was ridiculously fast, friendly, and funny. They have this little pickup window where your sandwich appears from the void, handed to you by an adorable cheerful human like some kind of magical egg sandwich fairy-poof-it appears! Go, have fun with the choices, don't even think about the calories. One lady told me people come at the holiday and get boxes and boxes! What a great idea! Now just build one in Florida! Cuz, there are enough hot air politicians to help bake these bad boys! Cannot wait to come back ;) read more

First time here as we were visiting from Michigan (we don't have these in GR). My kids both opted for the sprinkle donuts, hubby got the maple bacon and I got the old fashioned chocolate. I was impressed with how quickly we could get in and out. They had tables outside but they were half full and the open tables were dirty and wet so we took the donuts down the street and got coffee at Starbucks and ate at the tables outside. The kids loved their sprinkle donuts, maple bacon was a hit with hubby and my old fashioned chocolate had a nice crisp bite and the perfect coating of chocolate. I would for sure come back! read more

The gluten free donuts are so good! Definitely worth the trip. Wish they would come to California!

Best donuts in Chicago. Stan's was recommended, Do-Rite Way better. Staff friendly, patient and knowledgeable.

Great little diner-like restaurant hard-by the Northwestern Hospital complex ... in fact, they offer free delivery to all the Northwestern Hospital buildings in the area. They have a nice selection of sandwiches and neat variety of do-nuts. Open late for the dinner set, but most of the business is in the morning ... when the lines can be long. Limited seating inside, and just a bit more outside. On our trip we had the Avocado Sandwich, an old-fashioned buttermilk do-nut, and two OJs ... all very nice. I'd say the do-nut (4 stars) took the prize and it shows that's where they started; the Avocado Sandwich was 3 star good though. Service was excellent with a young perky staff. All in all 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars because of the staff. read more

Get the donuts! Got the buttermilk old fashioned, yummy! We also got the fried chicken sandwich. My friend got the spicy one and she loved it, I got the original chicken sandwich and thought it was okay. Preferred the donut over the chicken sandwich. There's some seating inside and outside. read more

The chocolate old fashioned tonight was delicious. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside.

My brother is an engineer at a Fortune 100. I'm a director at a non-profit. Let's just say our paths have diverged financially lmao. That said, I earn my keep when I'm out visiting him and never show up empty-handed. Last week on my way to his place I stopped by Do-Rite to grab a half dozen. Oh my was I delighted!! Raspberry filled, Apple fritters, blueberry crumb. The maple bacon!! They were pricey I won't lie but so so good. I also grabbed a lemonade while I waited for my Uber. I did not try the chicken so I can't speak on that but the donuts sure did me right! read more

If I could give this 3.5 stars, I would. The service is great: friendly, cheerful, and helpful. Egg sandwich was tasty - the egg custardy and cheese was melting in your mouth. Donuts were all very good, and there was a nice variety, which I enjoyed picking different flavors. There's also a good variety of vegan and gluten-free flavors. My biggest downside was the chicken sandwich. The chicken was so dry. The flavor was just kinda meh, even though it was a spicy sandwich. We did go there at 1:30pm on a Saturday, so it might have been just an older piece of chicken, as it wasn't super busy. Overall, pretty good option for donuts and cheaper egg sandwiches. Find somewhere else for chicken sandwiches. read more

This shop is situated at a food court in sky deck building. Service was great and friendly; had a long line but it went through quickly. Donuts: 5/5 Pistachio and baked orange were delicious to each their own but pistachio one was our fav! The texture was dense and packed but my, flavors were so delicious and weren't too sweet. Oat-milk latte - Yum! Should've asked for less ice because the flavor got diluted but it was the perfect balance between sweet and bitter. Would recommend and will be back. read more

You really can't go wrong with Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken! No matter what location I visit the donuts are always consistently delicious. This was my first time visiting this location and the service at this location is top tier. During my visit The manager was actively training someone on the cash register so service was a little slow but both of the women were very friendly. I loved that they took a few minutes to chat with everyone and make us all smile. During this visit I decided the try the breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was much larger than I expected. I ordered the turkey sausage and egg sandwich. Overall, the sandwich was tasty and I easily got two meals from the sandwich. The inside of the donut shop is a little tight. They have a ton of seating inside but they have a row of stools right next to the cash register. When the line got long there wasn't a lot of space to move away from the cash register without feeling like you had to push into the people sitting down eating their food. They do have a lot of space outside so I highly recommend dining outside or taking your food to go! read more

Stopped here and grabbed a half dozen for breakfast this morning. It smelled of freshly made donuts and sweet sugar air filled the building. I was salivating just walking through the door. We had to try the cake like and old fashioned donuts since the yeast style are our least favorite. We got 2 different old fashioned donuts (cinnamon of and buttermilk of) and 4 cake like (pistachio lemon, blueberry, 2 maple bacon). Favorite to least: maple bacon, buttermilk of, cinnamon of, blueberry, pistachio lemon. We would definitely be back. Jake n kev read more

The service here was so nice which is the main reason this place gets 4 stars. I got their Boston cream (3/5), apple fritter (3/5), old fashioned (4/5), and the sweet & spicy crispy chicken sandwich (2.5/5). The Boston cream wasn't sweet at all. The chocolate glaze on top was good but I couldn't really taste the custard. The old fashioned was solid but didn't really stand out to me. The chicken sandwich wasn't crispy unfortunately and was probably just sitting out for a while getting soggy. The flavor was fine but I wouldn't consider this to be sweet or spicy. Overall donuts and food were fine but imo there's better donut places elsewhere. read more

First time visiting Do-Rite Donuts and they have some great donuts. I visited later in the day so they didn't have a full selection but there were quite a few donuts to choose. I ordered a chocolate covered sour cream donut, a plain one and a cinnamon one and loved them all. One of them we saved for two days and it was still nice and soft inside. The location I went to, I passed it while looking for it but found it when I turned around and walked back. This location is small with counter seating and just a couple of indoor tables. There were several covered outdoor tables though. I will visit Do-Rite again for sure. read more

Good for donuts, good for chicken. VooDoo Donuts is nearby, but I feel like this place has more of an old-time vibe while still offering donuts with innovative flavor combinations. it is not about the gimmick, but about the quality. Their cake donuts are most popular, but I also enjoyed their apple fritter and a "non-fried" donut (which is more or less like a muffin top). You may have to wait in line a bit because it is popular, but you'll be happy with the donuts. It doesn't quite reach destination status, tho. More like, if you are in the neighborhood, this place is solid. read more

I came here for a quick late lunch and ordered a chicken sandwich and a donut. The chicken sandwich isn't out of this world, but it was good. The donuts are delicious.

There's limited seating indoor, but there's some outdoors. read more

I was staying a block away from Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken and even though my hotel offered continental breakfast, I wanted to pick up a selection of donuts to try. I ended up getting a half dozen consisting of a maple bacon, French cruller, buttermilk old fashioned, cheese danish, carrot cake, and a Michigan apple fritter. Especially considering the price ($21 after tax with a dollar up charge for the maple bacon), I'm not impressed. I didn't think the carrot cake had much carrot flavor and I've had better maple flavored donuts elsewhere. I had high hopes for those two in particular. The best one was the Michigan apple fritter, though the buttermilk old fashioned and French cruller were good as well. I didn't care for the cheese danish at all. read more

I am absolutely in love with this place! My boyfriend found this place on the gluten free restaurants list, so we had to try it. This location was right down the street from our hotel. The first donut I tried was plain with white icing. It was thick and The dough was so soft and moist. The icing and sprinkles were great. It did not taste gluten free at all. It was so good the next day I had to stop by to try the other 2 flavors. All three flavors were great. The staff was super friendly. I recommend this spot to any gluten free eaters. There's also vegan donuts. Outside of taste, the fact that the donuts are reasonably priced is also a big win! I will come back every time I'm in town. read more

I would rate my experience here a one out of 10, the customer service wasn't the best, they got my order wrong and looked at me like I was in the wrong and when they noticed they I had the wrong order they threw it away and said they could make me a new one. How embarrassing!!!!!!!!! Average food for average price read more

Absolutely delicious!! This was a gem of a find in town. I placed the order online, walked over from my hotel and picked up. It was ready within 10 minutes! I had the BEC add spicy chicken on donut bun. OMG! I've never had anything quite like this. My friend had the regular Spicy Chicken sandwich which I got to try and HOLY. It was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I ordered a Chocolate Old Fashioned donut, too, which was yummy. I'd probably like the regular better but that's just preference. The staff here are so nice and welcoming. It's bright and sunny inside and smells delightful. Their prices are also competitive. I'd go here all the time if I lived in the area! Highly recommend! read more

Sadly, the last stop on the donut tour downtown Chicago. Had a lovely time. I have been to this Do-rite and it's a small busy location next to Northwestern. If you are looking for extras like a breakfast sandwich, chicken sandwich with sides, gluten free or vegan donuts come here. I had the blueberry crumb donut which was good. Kind of like it had bits of country blueberry jam stuck in it. Also had the buttermilk old fashion. It was textbook classic with a soft moist flavorful interior surrounded by a nice sweet and crunchy exterior. read more

This place was near the hotel we were staying at and was not on my list of places to try while in Chicago... that said, we grabbed breakfast here maybe 5 times. Affordable, super friendly people, quick service, and good food. We loved their chicken sandwiches (spicy and regular), monthly special sandwich the Mr. Piggy, and the donuts, of course. My favorites were the birthday cake donut, blueberry crumb, and apple fritter. So good that I didn't branch out to try any others. Their cold brew is also pretty good, though I wasn't a fan of their honey oat latte (too sweet for me). Next time I'm in Chicago, I'll definitely find my way back here! read more

Gotta be so fr not the best I've had but they were big! I want more vanilla options! With icing!

Do-Rite is one of the reasons we miss having left the city. The variety and deliciousness of all their donuts is superb, and for those not into sweets, they have a variety of breakfast and chicken sandwiches. You can always count on prompt service and a recommendation on best donuts to try, though our defaults are the sprinkle and pistachio donuts. While I wouldn't eat in store because it is pretty cramped in there, the donuts are worth getting to go or for delivery! read more

Great quick stop for donuts! I tried the vegan double chocolate which was actually very good! I also had the French cruller which was just okay. The donuts are soft and fresh! Would love to come back to try more flavors. read more

Do-Rite donuts is located inside the Willis Tower on the ground floor. They have gluten free donuts that will blow your mind - they are absolutely fantastic and the best gluten free donuts I've had in my life. The donuts are soft and delicious, not too dense, and covered in cinnamon. My only regret is not getting 2. If you're gluten free you have to try this place! read more

Figured I would try this place out as it looked like a hidden gem and chicken sandwich sounded good! Got in, greeted, placed order for to go, contactless payment on POS and within 5 minutes I got my order. Super fast and practical system. As shown in the picture, no pickles. I like pickles in my chicken sandwich so it's my personal preference but why not try it without pickles? So I bite in, chicken felt a bit dry, sauce was regular chicken sandwich sauce nothing phenomenal but I liked the flavor od fried chicken breading. I happened to have pickles and sliced onions in my cooler so added them in and now I was having a great chicken sandwich. Pickles brought dry fried chicken meat back to life! For the price of $7.99, could they not have added a slice or two of pickles? We are talking about pennies/nickels here. Or maybe dimes. Next time, will see if I will want to try their donuts. read more

Perhaps I'm missing something here...or more accurately, my group ordered the wrong items, but I found Chicago's much ballyhooed Do-Rite Donuts and Chicken to be just "okay." We only ordered the donuts and not the chicken sandwich, so perhaps my review is not the most inclusive of the menu. But just based on the donuts...meh. We got there around 11am, so admittedly it was after the morning rush, but not so far after that the donuts should've been dare I say, "stale" - because that's just that's what they tasted like. We orded: * Maple Bacon: TBH, I'm ready for the Maple Bacon fad to be over. I'm all for the salty and sweet flavor combo, but the glaze on Do-Rite's version was overly thick and crumbled off with each bite. This effect ususally occurs when the donuts have been sitting around for a while. There was a good amount of salty nicely cured bacon, so bonus points there. * Choco Cake (or old fashioned) - Dry, dry, dry. To be fair, this type of donut is usually accompanied by coffee ( which we did not do), so maybe this threw the experience off? Chocolate flavor was on the heavy handed and tasted overly "artifical" * Boston Creme - this is my ALL TIME favorite donut, and I don't eat it often since it is a sugar and calorie bomb. So when I get one, it better be damn good. Sadly, this version was not. The vanilla flavored custard was too thick and didn't have that creamy consistency which lends to oozing out of the center after a bite. And again, the exterior donut shell tasted dry. Sitting outside was preferrable to the shoe-boxed dining room. There was a nice fall display replete with pumpkins. Next time I'm back in Chicago, I'll get a chicken sandwich and have to update to see if that portion of the menu is a good as Chicagoans rave about. read more

My first time and night in Chicago. We are staying at a nearby hotel on the corner, and after getting all checked in from a long flight from the PNW, we decided to take a stroll around and find something quick and easy. Don't know nothing about Do-Rites, but one can't go wrong with some chicken sandwiches. But before I go any further, I gotta say, today was a trip! Not only a business flight, travel from the airport, getting into our rooms, then once we left the hotel to find something quick grub and local flair- there were hundreds of folks standing out on the sidewalks, all with these 3D solar eclipse glasses staring into the now darkened sky. So cool being able to see and experience this with complete random strangers. Ok... back to the food. I ordered an Original Crispy Chicken and Hot n Spicy chicken sandwich, with an order of a 5 piece Chicken Tenders. I thought about a for dessert, but already knew I ordered too much as it is. Anyway, the chicken sandwiches were tasty. Not anything mind blowing or extravagant, but good. For whatever reason, it did take awhile to get our orders, and they do not offer a lot of seating area, so we waited along the wall in front of the square cutout where they placed their completed orders. Because it didn't offer a lot of sit down dining, we decided to take the food back to our rooms. I was only able to eat the Tenders and the original sandwich. Ended saving the spicy for another day. Overall, the food was good, the wait was a tad long, and it was reasonably priced. Thank you for the experience and as always, Enjoy & Happy Eclipsing! read more

We got two donuts later in the morning and they were still so fresh. I 1000% recommend for donuts. We didn't get the chicken.

Always in the hunt for the best fritter, we come over here to check out Do-Rite. Friendly staff and a nice variety of doughnuts to choose from. We got the fritter and chocolate old fashioned to enjoy on one of the outside tables. Based on my personal preference, the fritter was too chewy for me. The cinnamon flavor comes through and the bits of apple are great. Hubby was okay with his old fashioned. The doughnut itself is really light and the chocolate thick. It was just too thick for him. He says it's him so please give it a try. Next time, I have to try a fried chicken sandwich! read more

Always a good experience here. We come for breakfast sandwiches, donuts and coffee. A breakfast sandwich is $5.99 on a brioche bun with bacon, chicken sausage or avocado options that come with egg and Tillamook cheese. They have great iced coffee options like a Havana Iced Latte ($5.25 for a large) which is sweet and delicious. They are already pre-made so it is super fast. Regular coffee is $1 with the purchase of a donut. There are always so many flavors of donuts to choose from and they keep making them throughout the day. Prices aren't bad as well, around $2.95-$4. With limited seating inside and outside, maybe 10 bar stools but it is cramped with people coming in/out, you should plan on eating in their seating outside or elsewhere - especially if you have a bigger group. read more

At first I thought my expectations were too high for this place but then my daughter blurted out "this is not even good." Big sigh but she is right. No idea how this place has such high reviews. Average at best but then I'm from L.A. so we have a lot of options. Ordered the chicken strips and fries as well as an old fashioned and sprinkles. The chicken was truly fried but absolutely no seasoning. The fries were super average and soggy. I was at the hotel next door so it's not like I didn't eat it right away. Donuts very average nothing special at all. I wouldn't waste time here again but I am glad I tried it because I would have been thinking I should have tried that hole in the wall spot. Why the 2 stars? Simple. The staff were friendly, talked about the different flavor donuts and food came out quick. The other star because the food was hot. There is nothing they could do different because they clearly have people who enjoy their food so have it, not my cup of tea. read more
