    Fresh doughnuts to Oder
    Dona P.

    We were picking this up for a clinic that had helped my mother recently and said they love this spot. We'd never been since they don't have gluten free options but we're so impressed. It's super clean inside and the woman making the doughnuts was a GEM!! She explained how they're made fresh to order and that hot and fresh delivery has made them super popular. They're a wonderful hostess gift and worth checking out !!

    Half dozen

    Sooo phenomenal. I love their cake donuts with such awesome topping options too. This location has a giant iPad screen you can use for ordering which is pretty handy to use. They make the orders pretty fast. Restaurant is small but clean

    Chocolate Caramel Crunch
    Dyrbin A.

    Very cool and unique concept of creating your own donut to order. They're not gourmet, but definitely hit that sweet tooth craving just right. Additionally, they're served warm and gooey. Not a place that you'd dine in/hang out, but it's in a plaza with plenty of public seating to do just that. I'll come back once in a blue moon.

    Blueberry Lemonade & cinnamon sugar
    Lauren C.

    Passed by here on a whim and decided to try. Inside is inviting and the staff was attentive and nice. There was no line or wait on a Saturday so I was helped rather quickly. I opted for the blueberry lemonade and cinnamon sugar donut. The blueberry lemonade wasn't very good, I wouldn't recommend. Tasted like a plain donut with a bunch of frosting on it. The cinnamon sugar was better, but again nothing special.

    Midnight Madness chocolate donut
    Jonathan H.

    It's kind of neat that they make the hot donut right in front of you. The hot donut with chocolate icing though was just okay. I wouldn't try another chocolate donut, but maybe would try another. The donut was very fluffy. Not the cheapest for a single donut either. There's some outside seating but not much room inside.

    Delicious 6-pack.

    Duck donuts are fantastic and easy to bring into your life. You can order through Yelp and have delightful donuts of your choice delivered to your house via GrubHub. Ordering was easy. The donuts arrived as expected about 35 minutes later and wow, were they good. I ordered a customized half dozen of my Fall favorites and they were well worth the time and money. I can't even pick a favorite, they were all so delicious. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks!

    I call BS.  Paid an extra $1 for the "premium" sprinkle.  1 gummy worm.
    Taj M.

    I've had duck donuts before down south. It's very excited to try this out here. I have my nephews with me and I always think it's fun that they can create their own doughnut. The warm cake like donut with custom yummy toppings. It's a go too place. HOWEVER, I am super peeved that I got charged one whole dollar for one gummy worm. It's a good product.

    The one downside is that they close at 7pm -- more than once I've tried to open their locked front door, when I look at my clock and see it's 7:01! Such a bummer. Their donuts are delicious though, and made fresh when you order. We love it here, it's such a special treat. I usually order the coconut donut or a maple donut. Their French toast donut is great too. This location is fun because there's a bunch of other fun restaurants nearby, so you could start with sushi or pizza and end with donuts. The perfect time! (As long as you're there before 7pm...)

    Oily doughnut + sickly sweet toping = gross. I only made it this far before tossing the rest into the trash.
    Bob T.

    Never in my long life have I ever left a doughnut to go uneaten... until today. I stopped here on a whim, ordered a Midnight Madness, took two bites, and tossed the rest in the trash. The doughnut was oily. The topping tasted like it contained massive amounts of artificial sweetener. All-in-all, not what I was expecting.

    Plain cake donut
    Mimi I.

    I first tried Duck Donuts several years ago, but I wasn't too impressed. Could've been because I had gotten one with custom toppings and I prefer plain. When National Donut Day came up I gave them another try. This time, I ordered a plain cake donut. I loved it! This is a small location, but they make all the donuts fresh in the shop! You can see them being made, then onto the toppings bar. The staff were helpful and the store was clean. What I liked is that you could get hot, fresh donuts minutes after ordering. They tasted like a good pancake, but slightly heavier. Donuts are a little pricey. A little more than $2, but if once in awhile, it's worth it for a good, hot donut.

    Sarah C.

    I heard so much about duck donuts I was very excited to try it. Donuts are made fresh to order which is a rarity these days I feel. Although I was not overly impressed but it also not disappointed. The flavors were not as powerful as I expected them to be but the texture was great with the slight crunch on the outside and a steamy buttery soft inside.

    Don't tell me about Krispy Kreme's trash donuts - they are depressing. Duck Donuts are *the* best donuts from a brick and mortar store in the DMV area. Truly outstanding. They come right off the conveyor belt so they're warm (or even hot, depending), and the batter makes for a slightly chewier donut. Very good.

    Cinnamon sugar with Nutella
    Aarti B.

    Love the made-to-order cake donuts! The warm and friendly Asian owner, Johnny, went the extra mile and made a pregnant woman's day a bit sweeter! When I called a quarter of 7 to place a pick-up order as I would arrive a few minutes after the shop closed at 7pm, Johnny stated that the shop would be closed and after expressing my disappointment I hung up. Johnny called me back twice and told me that I could place the order and pick it up a few minutes after 7pm. When I arrived at 7pm on the dot, Johnny greeted me with a beaming smile and my donut was was still surprisingly warm! The cakey cinnamon sugar donut drizzled with nutella was tasty! It was a nice simple combination and not overpowered by toppings. While I enjoyed the cinnamon sugar, it was a bit messy to eat and had to shake out the sugar from the strands of my hair and on my sweater! I'll keep it clean and simple with just the nutella drizzle without the cinnamon sugar - next time!

    Well hello there... I'm delighted to write this review of Tupelo Honey…read more Let me first start off by saying I was fortunate enough to attend the opening of the original one in Asheville, NC then I went to the opening of second one in my hometown of Greenville, SC. I must say Tupelo Honey Is such a beautifully crafted place that pulls you out of the everyday hustle and bustle and places you within the southern comfort and warmth that oozes through the ambiance with smiles when they great you. It's natural unforced southern hospitality from A-Z. Also of note If you're able to please ask for the (Chef's Table) and thank me later! Now to the food I started off with the famous fried green tomatoes as an appetizer then I ordered a fresh squeezed pineapple juice that was just delicious after that the amazing shrimp and grits that's so delightful and the creole sauce is blended to perfection. Here's a little food hack for ya, add pieces of your fried green tomatoes into your shrimp and grits I promise you won't regret it!! for dessert you absolutely have to try the strawberry butter pecan cheesecake!! Whaaaaaat?? Yes... you read that correctly.. so just take my word for it and trust me"The Butler Brand Review" I will always remain true.. Hats off to you Tupelo Honey of Arlington, VA it's awesome to know that the classic signature of your brand remains the same no matter the location!!! But all I ask let's kick it up a notch and put one in NY and CT why not show the Tri state and New England area some love and what they've been missing!!! I'm here to help lol Happy dining, W.D.

They had a cute outdoor seating space, however it was cold and rainy so we couldn't sit there. We had the fried green tomatoes, snd both got the salmon with two sides of your choice. I got Brussels sprouts and potatoes. She got Mac and cheese and salad. The salmon was perfectly cooked and potatoes were crispy and salty on the outside and creamy potato on the inside. Yum!! We sat there until they were sweeping around our feet and they were very nice about it even then. I rarely close down a place these days, so I was grateful they were accommodating.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.

The restaurant felt chaotic, and even though all the tables were not completely packed of course there were flowers everywhere people gathering with grandmother's mother's children, etc We were seated in a two people table and all the top past dishes started to pile up very quickly. Instead of monitoring, the progress of the finished dishes and removing those dishes due to space constraint, the dishes came from the kitchen, almost on top of one another, and at one point I had to hold a dish in my hand in order to make space to put a dish on top of another flatbread pan/dish, making things super chaotic. Also dishes had to be put on top of the menu because in order to order additional food, you need to leave at least one copy of the menu at the table. Overall, again the flavors and taste were good, though I might have had similar dishes from other places, and my partner commented that some of it is actually very close to the Capital One landing at DCA. I would just say that it was more due to the chaos and just the way that all the dishes piled up on top of us we felt like we were we had to eat super quickly so that we could stack dishes ourselves and create room at the table.
