    I got a half dozen during Valentines weekend. I got chocolate explosion, coffee cake, cookies n cream, blueberry streusel, bacon in the sun, and valentines limited donut (I forgot the name). I loved the donut itself. It was fresh made to order. It came out relatively fast and the staff were nice and friendly. I came at a perfect time. There was no line and I was able to take my time picking what I wanted and was offered suggestions as well. So yummy!! I also got a bacon, egg, cheese on a donut. It was also very yummy. The iced latte and caramel macchiato was a tad too sweet. Gave me the sugar rush and I definitely crashed later in the afternoon!

    I am a donut fan. More than that, I am a donut snob. I admit it. I have my ranked list of best donuts in the country... Duck is on that list - way at the top. My family loves the build your own donut approach. We love that they come out warm. We love that they taste so delicious! What we don't love is that Duck Donuts has expanded across America and not yet come to Indiana... Oh well, it make them more special when we go to OBX and get them from their birthplace. Kill Devil Hills location has great service - gave use their favorites when we came in. And the inside was clean. There was a line of people waiting for donuts and they got through quickly. Great experience - ordered two per person on this visit (could have been way more and they still would have been gone!)

    We schedule a Duck Donuts day every time we are in the area. I was ecstatic to find out there is a location close to my home in Falls Church (?!) Always warm and very soft, they nearly melt in your mouth.

    I DREAM about this place! These donuts are delicious and always fresh! If you come down to the OBX, you MUST try Duck donuts! Service is friendly and the ambiance is very kid friendly and you can watch them make your donut! The Maple Bacon is my favorite!!!

    All the donuts are exactly the same.... the toppings and decorations make them what they are! We got the Halloween themed box and it was creative and fun! A bit pricey but hey, you're on vacation! Enjoy!

    Duck, duck....donuts!! Donuts are life -- for my baby girl that is. They're quick, they're soft, they're hot, and they're tasty. I watched my gal make the donuts (all bases first, then all toppings, then all drizzles) and was impressed at her speed and memorization. They're priced as much as DD, but you're def better off here with the quality and price of coffee, donuts, And cute merch, all supporting local.

    Made FRESH!

    The only part about Duck Donuts that I don't like is that it's 1500 miles from my house. We went twice in a week - once and ordered in the store (tip: go off peak to avoid long lines); the other online for pick up. The donuts are cake-y and delicious and made fresh - served warm. You can make about any combo of icing flavors, toppings and drizzles you can imagine. They have some cute swag, but it's priced as souvenirs. ($$$)

    Duck Donuts is the closest thing to Fractured Prune. They definitely have their own name and reputation, but nothing beats the original. They're gonna be packed any day, so I recommend pre-ordering online! My family bought two dozen of their Summer Sets and it was ready perfectly on time. They tasted great and added even more sweetness to our vacation

    This is worth the hype! Delicious cake donuts, fresh and hot and the toppings are so yummy. You can pick from their selection or create your own. They're very sweet but it's a nice treat (a bit heavy but fun for an occasion). Truly a really delicious dessert spot!

    First timer here! Walked in, and it smelled great. Everything was clean and organized. I was searching for the list of donut types, they are by the register. I got a half dozen of donuts. The box was warm when it was handed to me. Nice and fresh! Tasted great! I was surprised by how much I liked them. I'll definitely be back.

    We created our own dozen. Delicious.

    The donuts were hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. Just like I remembered. Highly recommend the blueberry.

    Not all that great of an experience. While placing my order the order taker seemed like it my have been her first day. I'm not going to recreate that day with the play by play action. When a person asks for a sausage egg cheese to be made on a maple glaze bacon doughnut the clerk really does not need to ask if I want bacon on it. I got the receipt with the order number on it and waited. From one counter someone called out a coffee drink. Was that mine? Yes it was. Didn't call out a number. Asked about the food and was told to wait for the order number to be called. Waiting area number 2 our number was called. A box of donuts was presented to me. I asked about the sausage egg and cheese sandwich and the shoulders of the associate shrugged. Another said it's coming from the back. I got dizzy jus being there. There were no utensils to eat with. Napkins had to be begged for. No indoor seating. In conclusion I found the place not very inviting to want to return.

    Halloween donuts. One with chocolate glaze and one with pumpkin glaze.

We also grabbed a few baked sweets to enjoy later in the afternoon, which turned out to be the perfect treat after a day out.

We don't need a huge lunch so ordered a Chicken Schnitzel which is served on a challah bun. We ordered it plain since we took it home and cut it in half and add condiments to our individual taste. This was very good and half was all either of us needed. The menu of hot sandwiches is very tempting. There are at least 15 offerings from various versions of the chicken schnitzel to ham and cheese to Cubans to jerk and Cajun. They also offer burger varieties as well as build your own. There are plenty of no-charge condiments plus some like fried egg, bacon, grilled onions or peppers, etc for a charge. Our sandwich was made fresh for us and was still nicely hot when we got home to enjoy it. The two of us had a very good sandwich at a great price. And don't forget to check out the assortment of freshly baked donuts and sweet pastries. They are very tempting.

Our burgers were grilled perfectly with just a minimum amount of condiments(.50) for shrooms, grilled onions and mayo(yup, mayo costs money). The tots are a seasonal thing so I got that. Delicious as tots are usually a staple in my diet. Sodas are free refills and our server even gave me a to-go cup. I live a refreshing fountain soda. The indoor dining area has lots of beach themed decor. There is a full bar at the front. I think on the weekends and summer season they also have outdoor music.
