    A tiny mushy slop of a donut.
    Keith A.

    Who the hell likes these undercooked greasy hot so everything just slides off it CRAP? Same as Sandy Pony or whatever that other crap place is called. Fresh donuts are great but made to order sloppy mushy donuts suck. Tiny too.

    Hello donut lovers! I am sadden to say that the location on Philadelphia Ave is so nasty. Every surface of the building was dirty, the dip bins, the floors, the station, the door, the windows. I even noticed flies having a party near the toppings. Once i realized I made a mistake, it was too late because I already paid and felt bad requesting a refund. I should've walked right out because now I am deathly afraid to consume. In addition they do not have all the donut flavors as advertised on the site so that was a bummer. Moral of the story...go at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you. Yikes!

    I ordered a bunch of donuts for breakfast for our crew at the beach! The donuts were enjoyed by all! The flavors were written on the box cover in a list, so we had a hard time figuring out which one was which.

    In town for the week and our first morning of vacation we had to come here. The selection is amazing, fresh and hot. No diets on vacation!

    Stopped by because our hotel was around and hI corner. This reminded me of ducks donuts in NJ... donuts made to order with sweet toppings. I tried the Black Forest topping which was actually quite good. The others in my group enjoyed their donuts too. Price was reasonable at around $2 each They were the perfect size... not too big and not too small. May not be sufficient by itself for breakfast but great for a snack.

    I took a stroll over to get a couple of donuts before my husband woke up on his birthday. I anticipated getting four but was talked into 6 as it was more cost effective. I cost effectively ate 4 donuts that morning....shh! The donuts aren't huge but they are delicious! There are several options of glazes and toppings you can choose from by creating your own or pick the combinations suggested. I just chose some of the options off of the menu and did not create my own this time. I got there at a time that wasn't super busy so I had super quick service. I ordered the carnival, smyrna medley, lemonade, plain jane, banana nut and reeses peanut butter. All were super yummy and we had no left overs.

    Great hot donuts. This location was less expensive than the location up the highway. My kids love these!! We will get them again before we leave.

    Plastic found in my donut

    Found blue plastic in my donut. Originally thought it was a blue Jimmie Till I realized it was thru out. I know it wasn't done intentionally but still, I wasn't happy about it. We usually get these every year, but quality has gone down. Tasteless like cooked in old oil, and I couldn't tell a flavor difference from banana to pb. I'm not sure if I'm just getting old or the novelty has worn off, but I don't think we will be getting them again.

    Prices!!!

    SADNESS!! Thanks for the memories!! You have priced yourself out of customers! No more lines out the door. Horrible customer service. Yes the doughnuts are very good. But as a person that would get at least a dz EVERY day for a week this is just so over priced now that you've lost a LOYAL customer. The size of the doughnuts are small from the start and for what you get you cannot justify $2.98 for 1 not much the prices for 1/2 dz and a full dz Good luck to you guys!! You're gonna need it.

    Blueberry glaze donut.
    Jude T.

    I have an FP around the corner from me, and I used to work by one, yet I have never managed to go to one. Well, that has now changed, and I know I was missing out. So the donuts are basically the same style - regular donuts. Then they throw stuff on top for good measure and taste. The blueberry glaze on my donut was awesome, honestly...it was sweet and had a hint of blueberry flavor. The inside was warm and soft. Very good breakfast. My partner had an egg and cheese sandwich...which is served with a donut as the roll - genius. This location is small and only accepts cash, so take note.

    A variety of their donut flavors.
    Kaitlyn H.

    I've been getting donuts here for years and they are always perfect! I love the history behind the business that they share with customers as well as the variety of flavors of donuts. The simple "OC Sand" has to be my favorite, but I've liked all the flavors I've tried here. Quick story: The last time I was here (7/10/18), I saw two deaf women in the store deciding what to order. When they stepped up to order, the staff was patient and did their best to make sure the orders were correct for them. I was surprised by just how professional and caring the staff was here. Keep it up!

    I've been going to Ocean City, MD for as long as I can remember. And for just as long, I've been…read morehearing people rave about Fractured Prune donuts. How many times, in my entire life, had I actually tried one? Zero. But I was determined to change that during my solo birthday adventure to Ocean City this year. My first Fractured Prune donut in 41 years...I was more excited than I probably should have been. For those unfamiliar, Fractured Prune has been an Ocean City staple since 1976 and is known for letting you build your own donut masterpiece--starting with a hot, fresh donut and customizing it with glazes and toppings however you like. No pre-made rows of donuts here--just pure, creative, donut freedom. Since I was visiting in March (aka off-season), I wasn't even sure I'd get my chance. But I was thrilled to find this location open until 12pm on Saturdays. PERFECT. I got up early, watched the sunrise, and made my way over to finally experience the hype. I had studied the menu ahead of time because I knew if I didn't, I'd stand at the counter forever trying to decide. I landed on one donut--a Banana Nut Bread creation (banana glaze, cinnamon sugar, peanuts). I was attempting to show some level of restraint during a weekend that was otherwise...not about restraint. I walked in around 9:30am on a beautiful March Saturday and found a small crowd already inside. Clearly, even in the off-season, people know where to go. I placed my order, paid my $3.57, and asked if they had stickers as a little keepsake from my birthday trip. They were out, but the kind gentleman behind the counter offered me a magnet instead--which I happily accepted. A few minutes later, my number was called, and I was handed a purple box that felt...surprisingly heavy for one donut. I took it out to my car, opened the box, and immediately started to cry. I was on a solo birthday trip--my first one in a long time--and while I was doing my best to fill it with fun and new experiences, there was definitely a bittersweet edge to it. Inside the box weren't just my one donut--but two extra donuts and a handwritten "Happy Birthday!!" on the lid. It was such a small gesture, but it meant everything in that moment. It made me feel seen. It made me feel celebrated. And honestly, it made my entire day. The kindness of the people working there didn't have to exist--but it did, and it mattered. After I pulled myself together (and stopped crying over my donuts), I finally took a bite. I get it now. I fully get the hype. The donut was incredible--served warm, soft, moist, and perfectly cakey, with the banana glaze, cinnamon sugar, and peanuts all working together in the best possible way. It took serious self-control not to demolish all three donuts right there in the car. I'm not even sure I've ever had a truly fresh, hot donut before this--but if this is the standard, Fractured Prune has set the bar very high. For $3.57, this was one of the best purchases I've made in a long time--and eating it in the sunshine during my birthday adventure is a memory I won't forget anytime soon. Logistically, it's easy: free parking in a nearby strip mall, quick ordering, and fast service. Just note--there's no indoor seating. You grab your donuts and go...which honestly isn't a bad thing when "go" can mean taking them to the beach just a few minutes away. Fractured Prune is officially on my "must-do every time I'm in Ocean City" list. And next time? I'm not pretending I'm only getting one donut!

    $20 for six donuts that were hot and moist--but somehow still disgusting. Just not good.read more

My husband whispered "This place was on the food network". I'm not surprised. The menu is bizarre. You can get a burger or chicken or egg on your donuts. Bleh. Even the donut donuts were over the top... like 5 toppings. But the family got a dozen (everyone else got like 1-2 donuts each and a lot of people were ordering their soft serve ice cream which we didn't try). Here are our reviews: 11 yr old: Score 3/10. They were OK. 13 yr old: Score 8/10. I liked them! Runner up to Fractured Prune. 54 yr old: Score 7/10. I liked them OK, a little better than Fractured Prune but I'm really a Dunkin man. 46 yr old: Score 1/10. Bleh. Like Bleh when I looked at the menu and BLEH when I looked at the donuts. I tried a couple pieces of a couple of them, and not one was enticing enough to actually desire to eat the whole thing. I'm a KK or DD fan too, and I only like 2 donuts made by FP, and they are the plainer ones. Note... they will do custom donuts, so if their suggestions are over the top, tell them what you want. They are cake donuts and there is a toppings bar (think: Subway) where you chose your glaze and toppings, and they make it in front of you. My issue was that sprinkles were in glazes, glazes in sugar, and it was all very messy. It kinda grossed me out. And there you have it. It's a novelty.
