    Maple Bacon Donuts

    I went to an event over the weekend and I could not pass up stopping by the Duck Donuts food truck. The service here was great and very quick and the donuts from here never disappoint.

    Had to stop by and give them a try , Order a dozen donuts and a coffee And love the whole experience they make each one of the donuts to order and the service was awesome I give them 9 out 10 .

    Packed in a nice box

    Finally got around to trying the donuts here. This is a small, narrow place where the donuts are "made to order", which of course they are not. Already made cake donuts (all that is offered here) are topped, coated, and drizzled to order. There is no table service. You place your order at the register at the back of the space, and will pick it up at the front. The cooking and prep area is open so you can watch the process if you choose! I simply wanted a couple of ordinary donuts, no exotic drizzled or toppings - a plain cake donut and a standard glazed donut. Traffic was lite so my small order was quickly ready. Both donuts were very good, rich in flavor. These are rather expensive treats, each of mine was $2.65 - Krispy Kreme's glazed singles are $1.99, 33% less expensive. Are these basic donuts good enough to justify that cost difference? To me the answer is no - maybe the coated, topped, and drizzled ones would be worth the premium charged here. Ambiance - 1 Food - 4 Service - 4 Value - 2 Toppings Coatings Drizzles KK glazed donut is $1.99

    Looking for a fun, sweet treat as you head into the weekend? Now through July, you can enjoy the perfect patriotic-themed assortment to take to 4th of July picnics and gatherings. Duck Donuts is offering a Patriotic Assortment which features red, white, and blue sprinkles in fun and festive combinations such as: Star-Spangled Sparkler: blue vanilla icing with patriotic sprinkles Patriotic Cinnamon Bun: cinnamon sugar with blue vanilla drizzle Beach Ball Sparkler: vanilla icing with patriotic sprinkles and chocolate drizzle Star-Spangled Swirl: blue vanilla icing with chocolate drizzle Their donuts are the perfect consistency and their glazes and toppings make for a yummy sweet treat. These are a cake style donut so they are more dense and sweet than the doughy versions

    My friend who lives in Winston-Salem said this place is a must. This might be the best donuts I've ever tried and I'd move to North Carolina just to have these fresh donuts once a week. All the flavors were amazing. They are freshly made right in front of you, and there is a huge list of flavors to pick from. The staff was very friendly and recommended her favorites donuts for us to try. I wish I remember all the names, but my favorite one was the blueberry pancake donut.

    I had been having a craving for donuts, so I decided to stop by on my lunch break on a Thursday afternoon after stopping to another store. I ended up placing my order online at 12:25pm while at the other store to save time. The confirmation said it would be ready in approx 20 minutes. When I arrived at 12:40pm, they hadn't started making my order yet because I heard one staff tell another staff state that there is an online order. There was 1 cashier and 1 person making the donuts. As I was waiting, there were people ordering. One male staff was making the orders of the people who had ordered in store. The cashier asked him if he was making the online order. When replied "no", she told him "he's here" referring to me. As I continued to wait, the store cleared and I was the last one waiting... :/ My order wasn't ready until about 12:50pm. I assume that if I want to place an online order in the future, I'll be sure to arrive at the estimated time or simply go inside and order. On the bright side, my donuts were delicious!

    I really liked a couple of things about Duck Donuts and then a couple of things I really did not like. The likes: Made to order. Great flavors, a couple of different maple bacon ones (one of my favorites) Price point was pretty good. Friendly service The not likes: They were super squishy soft, not really a good thing in a donut. The maple bacon, although tasting good, was also very sticky. I was told there is a bathroom there so I should have taken advantage of it rather than hand sanitizer to clean up. Overall, even though I was looking forward to Duck Donuts I can't rate it higher.

    It's a solid 5 stars for the donut. It's piping hot, drenched in gooey toppings and you have to eat it with a fork. Only cakes donuts here, no yeast donut options and it's just a plain cake base and the assortment of flavors are all in the toppings, and they have a ton. Service, a sold 1-star. Cashier was boring and seemed uninterested in helping anybody. The donut maker with her sagging pants and underwear hanging out dropping our ticket, picked it up off the floor with her gloves on, and continued to make our donuts. Then she dropped one of our donuts in the floor, picked that up too, wiped her gloves on a dirty towel and started over with our food. Great donuts, but the help needs some help.

    This is the best duck donut location I visited. The service was great I got greeted right away and I was out in five minutes. The toppings didn't melt before I got home. The donuts were perfect! The store was cute and clean definitely will be back!

    Duck donuts is definitely one of my favorites! It's always better to eat sooner rather than later, because they are warm and gooey and just perfect. Our most recent trip we decided to do an order to bring home. My husband actually got the donut Sundae and I got a s'more's donut. We also added a French toast donut bc you must! The donuts are perfectly sweet without being too much. The s'mores may be my favorite but I am a sucker for things that remind me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch hence the French toast. The pricing is very reasonable the packaging is just the cutest. For my waistline I'd like to say I won't be back but that would be a lie... see you soon duck donuts!

    Half dozen..... perfect for our group of kids.... And adults!
    Casey R.

    "It's really good" was the consensus in our far! "This is oh my gosh good" was another response. We got a box and one to grow on for the trip home. The location is perfect next to the coffee shop so you have the best of both worlds, especially for those traveling through of i40!

    Came for the seasonal fall flavors! Customer service is friendly and quick as always. We tried the pumpkin roll (7/10), pumpkin streusel (8/10), apple pie (8/10), apple cobbler (8/10), pecan pie (8/10), and blueberry pancake (10/10, not seasonal but wanted half a dozen). The donuts were fresh to made as always, so soft and fluffy despite being cake donuts. The flavors were spot on with the pumpkin flavors being less sweet than the apple flavors. There were apple chunks on their seasonal apple donuts which gave a great texture contrast. Overall very delicious and a great sweet treat.

    Not a huge Donut fan, but this place changed my mind! The smell is mouthwatering when you enter, you kinda have to look around first because there's so much going on. Then the menu , which there are several, basically you choose your toppings. Of which there are tons, they dip a warm donut in your chosen toppings and serve you a fresh warm, melt in your mouth donut. It's fun to watch them do yours, I chose the lemon dip with raspberry sauce, it's a little sweet but so good, the donuts are more cake like then the yeasty Krispy Kreme ones, which is fine by me, it absorbs the toppings better. It literally is a little happiness in your mouth. Delicious. My friend got the peanut butter with marshmallow and she loved hers too. It definitely hits the sweet craving, which we wanted after lunch next door at Taco mama. It's definitely small inside, there a few seats, some more outside, seemed like most were picking up to go. We managed to snag 2 seats inside. There are so many topping combinations you can do it's limitless. 2 donuts just under $4, not too bad. Maybe I am a donut lover after all!

It was busy…read moreon a Sunday morning, we waited a good 30-40 minutes, but it was well worth the wait and once we were sat the food came out impressively fast! My friend ordered the breakfast burrito, it was huge! For a side she had the sweet potato tots. She let me steal a bite of both and yum! I opted for the Hot Honey Chicken with Pimento Benedict and wow! I was nervous the pimento cheese would be overpowering, but it wasn't at all! It was a nice, creamy complement to the spicy crispy chicken. The hollandaise cut through some of the richness for a pleasant mellower. Prices are reasonable and our waitress was great!

This is a solid restaurant with much to offer in the brunch/breakfast area - an area that has become popular and chic, and it almost always means much will be expensive, usual very expensive considering the less than costly menu ingredients that drive food choices here, and other such brunch spots. Brunch is seen as more than just a meal for some folks who are all into what is trendy, and restaurant are aware of this and prices are raised due to the "experience" element! I have tried several items here including their version of Huevos Rancheros (not a fan of how they make it, pulled pork is a party foul), the Eggs Benedict (decent but over priced for sure, $17 with bacon added), and several Omelette choices, can reach $15. This is obviously a popular spot in downtown Winston, but I find it generally overpriced, loud, and the service is inconsistent. I like a good adventure, but somethings simply are not worth the cost! Note that the prices for individual items are written, very lightly with no $ sign to the right of the item. This is done intentionally to make the customer pay less attention to what they spending. Many restaurants are using some form of this approach!

I didn't expect the restaurant to be busy on a weeknight, but I was obviously wrong as the parking lot was nearly full. We found a spot at the rear of the restaurant and made our way inside. We were promptly greeted and shown to our table near the fireplace. A quick glance around confirmed that the place was jumping, which is good news for any restaurant during the middle of the week. A good balance of menu options from salads, sandwiches, fish, steaks, etc. Expect to pay $20-30 per person and some entrees are ala carte. They appear to have a good selection of wine, beers and cocktails from the long list in the menu. I went with the lasagna; my wife had the fish and chips; and my colleague went with the Beast Burger. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selection. The temperature of my lasagna could have been a tad hotter, but it wasn't enough of an issue to send it back. I would order it again. Service was good throughout our visit, but I am deducting one star for the noise level. The high ceilings give the restaurant a beautiful lodge look and feel, but they make for a very loud dining experience. The sound level at times was more like a school cafeteria in my opinion. Perhaps a table on the side of the dining room would be quieter where nearby walls could help absorb some of the noise. Bottom line: not the place for a quiet, romantic dinner.
