    Several tables available for indoor seating

    Who doesn't love a donut in the weekend? And this place was sure popular because there was a line out the door! Everyone took their orders to go, although there were plenty of seating inside. There were several friendly staff working and getting people through the line quickly. The donuts were good but not amazing (a little dry) but I really enjoyed the apple fritter. If you want a large order be aware the like to have those placed in advance.

    Apple Fritter!

    If you want to know the best places to eat or to try, follow where govt. Workers and public servants go to. They know the best places!! Hence Donut Hut! You absolutely have to try the Daily Homemade Apple Fritters. They are the best I have ever had...even in Germany. It's so good!!

    Two chocolate peanut, two Dutch crunch, one coconut, and one Bavarian cream filled $5.70

    I grew up in Des Moines and I remember driving across town to get my favorite Dutch crunch donuts here. When I moved I was super sad I couldn't find a donut even similar. I dreamed about them and when I came back to visit family; it like divine fate guided me back here (okay I'd kinda forgotten where it was ). It has not changed except a cost of paint on the outside! The guy working here is still the sweetest. Beyond happy now with my Dutch crunch although coconut is a close second

    Maple old-fashioned

    Finally made it to try Donut Hut! And...I'll never get another stale gas station donut if I can help it again. Grabbed a dozen as a gift to some neighbors, but saved 2 for myself. This is a mom & pop type shop-- not a crazy overpriced place with 5lb pound donuts. They had all the classics, filled, long johns, old-fashioned, etc. Basically everything but the French crueler. I had the raspberry filled and maple old fashioned. Both I though were great, not dry at all. Loved the maple frosting. Just wished the raspberry was a jam as opposed to a jelly but that's personal. Probably a good 10 ppl in the store at 10:30 on a Thursday...lady at the front was very helpful and friendly. Overall, great place, friendly people, and I'm excited to go back and get some for my own fam

    I grew up going to my hometown bakery every Saturday for donuts! There is nothing like starting your day with some glaze, powdered sugar, fritter, chocolate covered cake action! Donut Hut is one of those landmark spots in Des Moines.. If you want 1, or a dozen they will melt in your mouth and make you as smiley as the mural on the outside of the building! 25 people can fit snuggly in the building at a time and the line moves fast so no worries if it's out the door! The staff is so sweet and helpful and are truly here to make you feel at home, they know you by name and they are always glad you came!

    Great place for donuts that aren't incredibly sweet. Flavor is good and so is the variety. Love locally owned shops!

    Great soft fresh flavored cake donuts. Got a cherry one and was expecting maybe just cherry frosting, but was infused well throughout.

    Great Korean Fried chicken!…read more You'll spend a decent bit, but you will end up with lots of food and sides! Great flavor on the wings and the sides were well prepared as well. Service took just a few minutes to have our food delivered on a decently busy Friday night, but I think that was more so due to having to make our food to be fresh!

    I've tried three Korean Fried Chicken restaurants in the Des Moines metro area and this one does…read morenot cut it. First, we had to clean our table. It had food left over on it and was greasy but they were so busy they couldn't get to cleaning it. We ordered the 5 piece bone-in and boneless chicken plates with the double dunk sauce. The bone-in chicken wings were so small it made me laugh. Needless to say, the chicken did not fill me up at all. Instead, the sides that the meal came with (white rice, potato salad, pickled radish, macaroni and cheese) were surprisingly large and filled my stomach. For $14, I didn't think I would be paying for an entree of sides and a side of chicken. The mini fried chicken was also soggy! I noticed those around us had just their fried chicken with no sauce so they probably figured out it arrives soggy. And it was lukewarm in temperature and not hot out of the fryer. Service was friendly though when they were taking our order. The restaurant is pretty much self serve where you get your own water, and utensils and return your plates to the designated area. The two stars are for the sides and service--not the chicken. If you want good fried chicken that is a reasonable to large size and where the fried batter still remains crispy after having sauce poured over it, I recommend Chikin Lickin.
