    I placed an orders around 8:40pm on a Friday evening after getting dinner with my sons at a restaurant in the area. I got blueberry pancake, one son got cookies and cream and the other one got beach ball. The donuts were ready at 8:45pm. They were fresh and enjoyable. We enjoyed them there as there was seating available! I've had their donuts at other locations and I plan to continue patronizing the business! Staff was friendly!

    I finally got a chance to try Duck Donuts. I had never been there so I was expecting to walk into your usual doughnut shop where you see rows of yummy looking doughnuts and you start drooling over the vast selection. WELL...if that's what you're thinking you're in for a BIG welcoming surprise. You see at Duck Donuts the doughnuts are made fresh to-order. Who knew??? Well apparently everyone except Me! I guess the young man could tell I was a first timer after I asked..."where are the doughnuts?" I have to give high-5 kudos to Branden who patiently walked me through the ordering process and I settled on a half dozen after much back and forth and FINALLY made my selection...Bacon in the Sun, Glazed, BYO Pecan and Salted Carmel, and Chocolate Caramel Crunch. I thoroughly enjoyed having the option to select my own toppings based on what I like. It is important to note these are all vanilla based cake doughnut not your yeast doughnut you may be most familiar with from Krispy Kreme. The shop had one other customer when I arrived. The place was clean, countertops, floors and tables were all free from crumbs. The small staff working on Fri Aug 2 @ 3:25pm during my visit appeared to be doing their job and not goofing off. I had a great first experience and when I got home I had a small sample of each and enjoyed them. It's important to note, customized and made fresh to-order doughnuts come at a premium costs. The price I paid for the half dozen was about the same price I would pay at Krispy Kreme for a dozen.

    What's not to love about Duck Donuts!! I have been going to Duck Donuts for over 10 years since we found them at the Outer Banks! We had always wished we could have them closer to home and once they started opening more locations we were so excited! While more of a cake-y donut (as opposed to what many of us are used to at Krispy Kreme lol), Duck Donuts has never disappointed. They have a long list of already delicious combinations or you can create your own! Start with an icing flavor, add some toppings, and finish it off with a flavored drizzle and your set! On our recent visit we opted for some new coffee inspired donuts with the Cookies and cream mocha, which was the perfect blend of coffee flavor and sweet Oreo prices, and the Vanilla Latte, vanilla icing with coffee drizzle. Both were amazing and perfect for any coffee lover lol. One our go to flavors is the Bacon in the Sun which is covered in Maple icing, topped with Chopped Bacon pieces, and finished with a Salted Caramel drizzle!! There has never been a visit that I haven't gotten this donut and every time keeps me coming back for more!! We highly suggest visiting the Outer Banks locations as well, the perfect family breakfast while on vacation! We will continue to come back for more and more of these delicious donuts!!

    Had a baby and someone dropped off duck donuts. The baby loved them!! (See pic). I didn't even know 1-day-old babies could eat donuts. I've been to their location and it is nice inside, and the staff is friendly.

    Duck donuts is one of my favorite places to get donuts! I love that when you get donuts from them they are always fresh and warm. The donuts are fluffy and cake like and they have a ton of toppings to choose from to put on them. My favorite donut from them is the Bacon in the Sun which is a donut with maple icing, chopped bacon, and salted caramel drizzle. It may sound like a weird combo but the salty crispy bacon really compliments the sweet maple icing and caramel drizzle. There are a ton of premade donuts you can choose from on the menu or pick any toppings you like. Every donut I've tried from them has been delicious! The staff at this store are nice and there's plenty of seating to enjoy your donut there.

    Duck Donuts is a great donut shop. They make the donuts you want when you place your order - just the way you want them. We ordered 6 donuts with different flavors. They made them while we watched, and they were still warm when they gave them to us. Everyone of them were incredible. They also offer other choices like coffee, drinks and ice cream. I highly recommend Duck Donuts. I give them a 10/10 rating.

    Always a great donut. They are friendly people and very helpful. It seems much of the items are locally sourced which is great for the community. We don't do it often, but it's a real treat when we get a chance to get to a Duck Donuts.

    All delicious

    When we came to the Yelp event at Goofy Foot we saw Duck Donuts across the way and obviously we couldn't miss out on this, we have been meaning to try them for a while! We got an assorted dozen and it did not disappoint. They are beautiful, first of all, and secondly they are delicious. I really like the cake donut base and I found all of the toppings generous, good quality and flavorful. I honestly couldn't tell you which flavor was my favorite, I definitely took a bite of every single one though which is my favorite way to sample a place like this.

    Great experience all around!!! Walked in at 6:59, not realizing they closed at 7pm and they were so nice to still accommodate our order and were so patient while we picked which doughnuts we wanted. Will definitely be back to this location! Not to mention the doughnuts were great!

    Watching them make the donuts!

    I cannot express enough how much I love these donuts. These are amazing! They are so worth any wait. Although, they can get quite busy, they definitely try their best. And it shows in how well made the donuts are. And how they taste! Always warm and that first bite, heaven!!! It's a bit smaller in the inside when crowded, but I don't mind. 10/10 heavenly donuts!! So worth it!

    Order here!!

There are a lot of items from which to choose and can be overwhelming. Since it's a new to us spot I actually got breakfast items. My litmus tests are biscuits and sausage gravy & the grits no cheese added. Biscuit had good flavor. Is a tall biscuit cut in half so it looks like two flat ones on the plate. The gravy itself tasted fine. The sausage was lacking. You'l see the specks in the picture. If you get this I recommend getting a sausage patty on the said to cut up in it. Bacon? Crispy. 10 outta 10. Grits cooked well. A tiny bowl but if you eat grits it seems like the bowl refills itself. I added butter because I like grits in my butter. And just a couple hits of salt. They were not super bland. I do like to taste the salt or the salted water they should have been cooked in. Bae got French toast. Actually it was a breakfast combo meal. I do get the name. Ralph? Roger? Randy? He likes regular degular French toast. They delivered too! Powdered sugar and cinnamon. Scrambled eggs and sausage. I got a mimosa. They recommended the blueberry pineapple. It was decent but for me an overpriced menu item. I love a good mimosa but I think they're worth $3-$5 Again another litmus test. I won't reorder one there unless it's on special but it won't tell you not to order them.

I stopped in about 10:30-11 on Saturday morning and it was busy as expected but I was sat right away (it was just me!). I love that they use ingredients from the market. It's a cute and cozy cafe but with several seating options. Walking inside almost feels like a trip to grandma's. I ordered the Southern Breakfast which was HUGE! I could barely eat half so basically two meals in one. Great price for the portion. I opted for the chicken. Very flavorful and juicy! I did seem to get a lot of breading only on my first few bites, but eventually was able to taste the chicken and it was tender. I liked the gravy, but thought it could use a little more black pepper and perhaps a little (heat) spice. They definitely don't skimp on the gravy though! I was most excited to try the famous biscuits that everyone talks about, but I have to admit that they felt a little flat, pun intended. They just didn't seem super fresh. The apple butter was delicious though! I also loved the fluffy eggs. They were perfectly cooked. The hashbrown casserole was yummy, I'm not used to bacon in mine and I loved that addition. My waitress was so sweet! I apologized for taking up an entire table just for me. She told me to stay as long as I wanted, which was really nice. I like that they offer payment via QR code. I was in and out! Overall, a good experience and I would like to go back and try other options.

Between excellent service, from the host to the kitchen staff, and being a bright, cheery place decorated in a modern farmhouse feel (only complaint is the HARD seating), we love this place. The food is always delicious and seasoned perfectly with FLAVOR. For the appetizer, the Salad Pizza is absolutely scrumptious and was recommended by our server our first visit here last year. Honestly, it keeps bringing us back. The flavors are incredible. It has feta, mozzarella, topped with organic greens, shaved onions, tossed in a lemon/dijon dressing with shaved parmesan. It's a flavor bomb in the mouth. The meatloaf, is to die for. If you're a meatloaf eater this is for you. It's so tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Melts in your mouth and the sauce on top is the perfect blend of sweet and savory to top it off. For my two sides this time I chose the fried brussels sprouts and the greens. The greens are always seasoned perfectly and the brussels sprouts were crispy and full of flavor. They tasted even better dipped in my meatloaf sauce so that was a win-win. My boyfriend had the special which was short ribs. For his two sides, he had greens and green beans. The short rib was perfectly tender and absolutely delicious full of flavor and moist for him. The green beans and the greens were also perfect as well full of flavor, just enough fat and butter. It's a great little date spot or a family dinner. They also have outdoor seating covered with umbrellas. There's a bar inside with a TV if you choose to go watch sports and the food here is always on point full of flavor and makes you want to come back and try more things on the menu. You can't go wrong at southern roots.

Everything was delicious, although my partner wasn't a huge fan of the short ribs. The trout and salad were both excellent. The cheese dip was delicious. The sides were a standout, especially the Parmesan spaghetti squash, which I highly recommend. We had to put some extra salt on the sides, but that's purely personal preference. They also had several reasonably priced drink specials, which was a nice surprise. The service was amazing--friendly, attentive, and a big part of what made the meal so enjoyable. Overall, a really solid dining experience, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

A couple of family members joined us there. Both ordered plates of shrimp and grits and enjoyed them, as well as two side dishes that accompanied the entrees -- especially the deep fried "blooming " onion. Although my order of Greek salad was fresh and tasty, the added chicken proved tough and gristly. (However, it could have simply been a bad day for grilled chicken.) My husband, who is currently undergoing cancer treatments, ordered several dishes of vegetables but was feeling so badly when our meals arrived, he was unable to eat. This is when Cagney's began to shine -- service. Service is near the top of our review checklist, and can make or break any dining experience. Our waitress, Chloe, was (and, I believe, is) gold. Although a busy evening with a "full house," she waited on us quickly, got our order straight on the first try and updated us twice on one item coming out of the kitchen a few minutes after everything else. She checked on us from time to time and noticed my husband's fading energy. She noticed that he left the restaurant to relax in the car while we finished our meal. She asked if I might like to take his meal, which remained untouched, with me. When she returned with the take-home container, she had written a personal message on the lid and offered kind words and a warm hug for me. The next day, my husband asked me to warm his leftover meal so that he could have it for lunch. He said it was delicious. That alone is worth a great review. Add in Chloe, and dining at Cagney's was stellar.

I went in one day after lunch about a year ago and was completely overwhelmed because everything looked so good and I didn't order a thing. Stopped by yesterday and now I'm hooked! If you read my other reviews, you'll see where I tried another bakery's cinnamon buns twice and just was not a fan. Biggest critic was the lack of cinnamon in the cinnamon bun - this one is the opposite. There is cinnamon in every single bite - they even do the cinnamon-sugar on the bottom of the pan to ensure the crusty sweet goodness on their buns! This is definitely in my top list of cinnamon buns. The dough is so good and soft, the icing is to die for, and you know you'll get cinnamon in every bite just by looking at it! This is where I'll be going from now on when I don't want to make a batch at home! I also got the cookie butter cheesecake - how have I lived my life this long without trying this? Cheesecake, caramel and cookie butter in every bite! The cheesecake is super fluffy and I can't wait to try more of their flavors. I got my husband an ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie and we were both delighted with the flavor - it's the perfect balance of browned butter and bittersweet chocolate! He can't wait to give their oatmeal raisin cookies a try. For five in the evening, this place was hopping by the time I left.
