Delicious! We placed an order online for a build-your-own-dozen and chose a convenient pick-up time. Then we just walked right in and picked up our box of donuts from the carry-out shelf! It was super easy to build exactly the order we wanted and it was awesome to not have to wait -- and the staff absolutely nailed our order! read more

The donuts and coffee were delicious and the kids enjoyed the build your own donut option.

The most amazingly delicious donuts ever! So many options, made fresh to order, served hot! They have Easter/Spring festive donuts too. We went to the one located in Duck. Go early--they close at 2pm. read more

Finally had my first Duck Donut. Folks from work would bring some in, but they always looked cold, deformed, and in a grease stained box. So I never thought to try any. Didn't look appetizing at all. But was in OBX and swung by Try My Nuts store next door to Duck Donuts. So we walked over to get a couple of donuts. I actually had no idea they were all made to order. I just assumed they were like Dunkin Donuts pre-made stuff. Pleasantly surprised...we got a glazed with coconut and an apple streusel and ate it freshly made. Really great! Best fresh donut I've ever had. Since it's not tourist season there was only one set of customers ahead of us, but no wait at the counter. Service: fast & friendly Sanitation: 98.5, very clean establishment. read more

So I'm not a donut connoisseur, but the donuts I had from Duck Donuts were pretty darn good! This donut shop is similar to a crispy cream shop in that they prepare the donut right in front of you, but it's to order. The batter is a cake batter that is poured once you place your order; which by the way is a three step process. First, chose type of glaze (there were about 6-8 choices) next the topping and last a drizzle. So, imagine having a powered donut with coconut topping with chocolate caramel drizzle...ummmy !! BTW, this would be called a turtle . Word of caution, do not order more than you can eat right away. They're best when eaten hot; like crispy cream. Enjoy read more

How can you give less than 5 stars to a duck donuts? There's a reason people are obsessed with these donuts. They're not prolific where I live, so it's been 3 years since I had my last duck donut, and when I saw one on my recent vacation to the OBX, I told my husband we would be getting these donuts. I had forgotten just how amazing they are. We got there about 5 minutes after they opened on a holiday, so you never know what the service will be like, but there were absolutely no issues. I also felt bad that we had ordered 18 donuts right before a girl came in wanting 6. I was pleasantly surprised that they gave us the first dozen, her the next half dozen, then us the last half dozen. I'm sure she really appreciated this too. Will always get them when I visit the South. read more

I picked up a few donuts of an evening with the intent of eating them on my early morning departure on a drive longer than I would like for it to be heading home. It was awesome that they made them right there, showed them to us, and were just really nice people. The store was clean, and plenty of mugs/cups/fun items to purchase if one desires. They were delicious! My only regret is that I didn't order more to eat like a savage while they were hot off the press. There were so many options to choose from. read more

Walking in, you are greeted by a plate of samples (warm, fresh and delicious). The woman at the register was super patient and helpful considering our group had never been there. We ordered a dozen donuts for our group of 4. All were delicious! No combination goes wrong read more

I have attempted to order online through the internet from my browser and also from the Duck Donuts app without any luck. I started last night and again at 7 am, each time I attempted it said, "Something went wrong, please try your order later. ". Since online ordering didn't work, I attempted to call the nearest store (at Kill Devil Hills) I was informed that the store does not take phone orders. Personally, this is terrible customer service, with all the modern conveniences with computers and all you guys can't get it together? Very disappointed in overall service. The donuts are still amazing, but...... read more

These donuts are the best I have ever had. So fresh. Extremely crowded and a pretty long wait but definitely worth it! Will definitely be stopping back in soon! read more

＊4/5 Not the biggest fan of donuts and sweets, but I must admit that these are pretty yummy. I was also excited to see that they have featured "popsicle" summer flavors inspired by popular icecream/popsicles! We got 1/2 doz., with 5 of the popsicle flavors and 1 fan favorite (maple bacon). *Chocolate nut sundae: This donut was chocolate glazed with marshmallow drizzle and chopped peanuts. I usually really don't like chocolate, but I enjoyed this one a lot because the glaze was such a dark chocolate and the peanuts were super crunchy! *Maple bacon: I didn't try this one bc I don't like bacon, but my family always gets it whenever we get Duck Donuts and they love it! *Key lime pie pop w/ shredded coconut: This one was one of my favorites! I prefer sour sweets and don't like overly sweet desserts, so the tartness was nice. This donut comes with key lime glaze and originally with graham crumbs, but we got it with shredded coconut because coconut is the best, obviously. *Neapolitan: This one was good, but nothing special. Just strawberry glaze with marshmallow drizzle and Oreo crumbs, which I don't like very much. *Creamsicle: My other favorite besides the key lime pie!! Again, I love sour things, so the citrus-yness of this one was so yummy--a donut with orange glaze and a vanilla drizzle that complimented everything really well. *Strawberry shortcake: Another one that didn't stand out too much to me--strawberry glaze with vanilla drizzle and graham crumbs. Still good, though! Everyone that works here are really friendly, prices are reasonable, and flavors are unique and versatile. I wish that they offered filled donuts, but nonetheless, I would recommend Duck Donuts if you have one near you! read more

This was my 1st experience with Duck Donuts. We had driven by this spot a few times in out OB stay and I had heard people singing their praises whenever we mentioned that we were OB bound. When we arrived, there was a line out the door. A lot of people get frustrated with lines, but at a place like this, that line gives you time to truly decide what youll be getting. They have an almost endless amount of combinations available, as well as a donut of the day. For my 1st foray, I chose a cinnamon sugar donut, a lemon icing w/ coconut (WINNER), and a chocolate icing w/ bacon. While Duck Donuts are at their most delicious when theyre fresh and warm, I would recommend letting them cool a bit so you dont lose your toppings or, and I know this will sound crazy, use a fork and knife. This location has a wee tiny bit of seating outside as well. But its Outer Banks so, ya know, wind. We've been back to this location almost every time we've been to the Outer Banks, and I dont see that changing anytime soon. read more

I've heard of Duck donuts here in New Jersey, but it's a bit far. We vacationed in Kill Devils Hill and was happy to find it only a couple miles away. We had planned to buy them in our last day to bring it home. It was tempting to eat a couple, but it was intentionally for our kids back home. Unfortunately, there is no picture, but trust me, they were beautiful and delicious. read more

Best donuts ever. They are so warm and yummy. I love the plain cinnamon the best. There's nothing like a freshly made warm donut.

You want amazing donuts you go here. We do miss the Duck Donuts in Richmond VA. When we have the ability to come to the outer banks we come here to duck donuts read more

I am a very healthy eater but sometimes you got a live! I went with the recommendation of the maple bacon doughnut, I was not disappointed! They also had good coffee. FYI, if you get an iced coffee they will give you a glass full of ice and you go pick your own coffee. It's hot so it melts all the ice. read more

So thankful that this place does not exist in NYC. 1st off the fact that 4 women got into a car 7 mins before the place closes and raced there and had 4 mins to spare says something. My life was ruined after having a donut from here. I have never...ever ...had a donut this good in my entire existence on this place we call earth. Soooo you can get it like burger king and have it your way. I'm a punk and don't like all the extra, but wanted to be a part of the in crowd. So I kept it simple and got the glazed with coconut on top...AMAZEBALLLLSSS!!! My friends were more adventures with it and got the maple bacon donut... I get it, the salty with the sweet... but pork and I don't mix. It's the right out of the oven thing that makes it so good! Similar to another donut spot that shall remain nameless,Again I'm just happy that this place doesn't exist in NYC...however, one of my girlfriends did scout a NJ location... she's so evil. read more

Highlight of trip. Got a shirt and pleased to discover there is a location in Michigan

I got there before they opened, thinking I'd get perfectly fresh melt in your mouth doughnuts... Wrong! These were way too much like a cake, I guess Is the best way to describe it..... I kept it pretty simple sugar/cinnamon, vanilla w/ caramel, and glazed. The flavors were good and they have ALL the toppings for kids and sweets lovers, but the doughnut itself was not nearly as good as other fresh doughnut places. read more

The food and experience are always great. Staff is friendly, and your donuts are served fairly quickly. The donuts are super fresh and steaming hot and have a large variety of toppings and flavors. The donuts are fried right in front of you, making it a great experience! read more

I don't know how much better a place could be. There are donuts. And these donuts aren't crispy on the outside, soft on the inside deep-fried krispy kremers (if that's your thing). These are cake donuts. It's almost like a cupcake in donut form. And the best thing? They're made to order! You can make however many combination of glaze/icing you want, with toppings. We got a dozen and watched them being made. You can tell they're fresh because they're hot and the lady that handed the box to us left chocolate finger prints on the box. These tasted really good heated up for 10 seconds (don't listen to the box, it's 10, not 8 seconds you need). They were so good that we considered getting another dozen for the trip back up to Virginia, just the cinnamon and sugar kind, but we resisted. They were also so good that I wanted to make sure they lasted the whole week. That was a mistake. A few days later, they were stale tasting. But that's not their fault. Next time I'll be sure to eat all the donuts immediately! read more

Can I just say...I love fresh donuts. Duck donuts makes their donuts to order. You pick your toppings and they make it right in front of you. Duck donuts treated like heaven in your mouth. Cakey.. hot... Soft... And full of goodness. If you hate wasting your money on normal Divya just get duck donuts. It is so worth it. Try their coffee too! Perfect blend to go with a donut. read more

Crazy long line down the sidewalk...finally through the door...just to find a packed room. Oh well, it's packed for a reason, because it's worth the 35 minute wait. When you get in the door, you get an order form and pencil. Complete it and give to the cashier. Then walk through watching them freshly make donuts right in front of you. They plop into melted lard, fall off the little conveyor type table into a big bowl. They took our 1/2 dozen and smacked them down (smacking gets them deeper in icing) into maple icing, chocolate icing, strawberry icing, lemon icing and then sprinkled bacon on the maple icing ones. Went outside and yep, still has a line down the sidewalk...and it's not even breakfast time any longer at 11am. Who cares:). It's island breakfast time. All were delicious...the Maple Bacon was AMAZING!! read more

Clearly some amazing fresh donuts, fry cakes the only proper donut. Toppings are just enough not to be overwhelming but feature the biggies -- peanuts, coconut, icings, and of course maple bacon, the king of donut toppings. But even though the ordering process seems bullet proof -- little yellow cards you fill out -- our order got royally botched. And we weren't alone as another guy had a misfire too. It is a testament to how good the donuts are that getting vanilla instead of chocolate icing is a minor thing but beware these execution issues as you stand there near drunk on donut fog as your order is worked up. Also there seems to be a 730am rush so be ready. read more

OOOOhhh sweeets! I love them, hard for me to ever turn them down. Down in thee outer banks for vacation, and at the recommendation of my co-worker I tried Duck Donuts. He built them up so high, like up to heaven high. Why would I NOT try them? Exactly. I have no idea where this place is, other than being on the main highway down in the thee OBX. It is right in the same shopping center as I believe a Sunsations and a fudge place. Inside is quite small, I can't say there is really places to sit and what not. I look at the options, place my order and watch them work. Okay, in case you didn't know, duck donuts has the traditional cake donut. BUT, there is nothing traditional about this place, IMHO. The cake donuts are literally made right in front of your eyes, from the dough, to the dropping in the oil, the flippage, to the popping out piping hot. Next you decide on what you want from plain, to dips (think chocolate, vanilla, lemon, etc.) and toppings. There are pretty much a gazillion combos of donuts and toppings. There is a daily donut, on this date, it was "The Beach," this had vanilla toppings and cinnamon sugar. So after deciding what we all wanted, which BTW is hard, I mean it is a lot. We took our warm, topping fulfilled donuts and headed on out. Now to the good part, the donuts!! What can I say, pure damn perfection. The donuts were still hot from the oil, the combinations were amazeballs, I tried the maple bacon, which tasted like breffis in my mouth, think pancakes and syrup. I also had the almond joy, and something that had maple, chocolate and peanuts. I'm not sure what that name was. No, folks I didn't eat the whole blame donut, I simply tasted...or something like it. I wasn't able to taste the donut of the day, as it was instantly devoured....d'oh. No worries, it is an excuse to go back. read more

Prior to our visit to Outer Banks all we kept hearing is "Try Duck Donuts!" ...and now I'll be telling people the same thing. We arrived around 7am on a Thursday & the line was already to the door. I would recommend going as early as your can or maybe later, when there's not a breakfast rush because by he time we left 7:30am the line was out the door and down he building! The staff was very trained & got through the customers quickly. I would've assumed it would have taken an hour to get my order, but 30 minutes wait wasn't too bad considering the amount of people and donuts in-front of me. We got an array of different donuts all were AMAZING. They were the best donuts I've had. My favorite desserts are lemon.. and this lemon donut had me on cloud 9. HIGHLY recommend Duck Donuts! read more

4.5 stars, simple menu and damn good donuts! They are made fresh on a conveyer belt system right before your eyes (which might be a bit time consuming if you're in a hurry). It's well worth the wait, which is why this place is booming. I even think their merchandise is really cute (shirts) and I am not usually a fan of brand shirts. Fresh warm donuts with delicious creamy toppings! It's a must-have anytime you visit the OBX. read more

We stopped by for a chocolate covered, coconut sprinkled donut to share (~$2). It was sitting in a warmer when we got there, so not sure about them being 'fresh'. It was a pretty tasty cake donut, although I still prefer yeast donuts. IMHO, nothing spectacular, but nice for kids to pick all their toppings. read more

We stopped here after stopping next store (Try My Nuts) and were pleasantly surprised by the donuts. They are made to order and are delicious! I had the almond joy donut and my husband opted for the maple and bacon donut. Both of us commented on the fact that even if the donuts hadn't had a thing on them, they were delicious. They were most and melt in your mouth good. Perfect for a cup of coffee and watching the ocean and the sun rise. There can be a bit of a wait to get your fresh donut but in my opinion? It is definitely worth it! read more

While the idea of fun flavor combinations on donuts is great, I was, admittedly, hoping for a more traditional donut experience(raised donuts, crullers, fritters, etc). It is a very popular place and was quite busy when I was there. However, the donuts are all standard cake donuts that they put different toppings on to create the flavor combinations. read more

Who doesn't love a donut? These donuts are fresh, made to order, warm, and just delicious. My all time fave donut when I was a kid was - and still is - a glazed donut, but the game changer at Duck Donuts is the maple icing donut topped with bacon. Yumm. The closest DD to me is Williamsburg -- a 2.5 hour drive -- it may be worth the drive. read more

Amazing donuts as always! This Duck Donuts was a bit different though - they were doing a great job with social distancing but on top of that, even though they were super busy, the gentleman manning the door was so friendly. He was kind, led people in the right direction, made sure people knew where to go, and made conversation with people waiting. He made the trip to Duck Donuts even better than usual! I wish I got his name! read more

Friendly and fast. I've had Duck Donuts before, in another city. These were usually brought in by co-workers. I never knew that they were made-to-order fresh. Go figure! Made to order donuts! Awesome! The nice lady even gave me a few "doggie donuts" for my canine co-pilot. read more
