Hero has always been catered and I'm so glad I was able to stop in person to a location! Everything on the menu was so good!!! The staff were so kind and they were so attentive. If you dine in the food will be brought out to whatever table you choose. I love that it's self serve drinks because I sometimes have no clue what I want up until the last moment. The food also tastes super fresh! It's a comfort meal and makes me feel like everything is made from scratch! The avocado especially was ripe enough and it didn't come out brown. It's like they timed it just perfectly to open one for me. The bathrooms are so clean as well! And they keep this place so tidy overall! The patio on this specific location overlooks the traffic and they have made it so peaceful. This is a spot I can frequent! read more

I tried Hero for the first time. It was pretty good. Wish there are a few healthier options. The lady at the counter was very nice. The restaurant is very clean. Cute there is a TV with cartoons to watch during breakfast time. read more

This is one of the most awesome places in Hoover! A Birmingham tradition with several locations, this location, always impresses, just like the others. I really love the dad burger! That bacon jam is so good and I get some lettuce and tomato added to mine. So that's a pro tip! Look on their social media to see what the specialty donuts are but all of the regular donuts and the sidekicks are a good staple go to. One of my favorites is the fritter and if you can catch the peach fritter during peach season, you're a lucky person. One of the things that makes the sandwich is so delicious. Is the fresh baked buns that they make themselves. And my wife loves the fried chicken sandwich, but instead of getting the usual sesame seed bun, she gets it on the Parker rolls. So, another pro tip! I try to go here at least once a week if I can. This place is so good. read more

Amazing breakfast burrito, donuts, and coffee. We put a large order online and it was quick and easy to pick up. Highly recommend.

I was impressed upon walking in - lots of seating and lots of light. Great for a morning pick me up of coffee and donuts. Their PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE for fall is perfect and warming - not too sweet at all. They had beautifully decorated Halloween donuts - perfect for all your Halloween parties! I had to try their VANILLA OG DONUT. It was perfectly risen with a light vanilla bean glaze on top. You can even see the seeds from the vanilla beans! And last but not least, I finished it all off with a JALAPEÑO KOLACHE - slightly overseasoned with an over baked pastry dough jacket - unfortunately I was not a fan. Service is attentive and courteous! Recommendation for those that don't prefer overly sweet: TRY THE APPLE CIDER DONUTS! Can't wait to take the whole family back for more donuts! read more

The burger was good. Freshly baked bun was the highlight. I choose cucumber tomato salad as my side. It was pretty bland. For dessert I had a cream filled donut. The cream was scarce and only filled half the donut. But most alarming was this single donut was almost 5 bucks. I probably would not go back. read more

At a recent event, we got Hero's catered lunches. They were fantastic! We've had every kind of food catered for this particular kind of event, and this one stood out as different. The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection on a great-tasting bun. Fruit is a great side to compliment the grilled chicken, but the sidekicks stole the show. While it might be on the slightly higher side of the price range for boxed lunches, it was not too high a price for the quality or for a regular lunch price. Almost wish there wasn't a 20-box minimum or I might get it on the regular for other, smaller get-togethers. read more

We went there during Covid, you went to the window in a face mask then sit in your car until I sent you a text. They have wonderful hamburgers and also a great chicken sandwich. Also, the donuts are fabulous. It was great to see a smiling face, and the service was excellent. read more

I've been a fan of the strawberry donut from Hero Doughnuts for years and was so glad to have them open a location on this side of town. My first visit didn't go so well through. Oh, everything was nice - a clean, well decorated store, plenty of workers making more donuts as well as taking orders, plenty of customers salivating over the display of donuts. I purchased the Chef Wil's 1/2 dozen - pistachio, bread pudding, mango cream, and raspberry jam filled. I ate one pistachio donut before leaving the parking lot! It was tasty. At home, my husband tried the raspberry jam filled (filled donuts are his favorite) but said he didn't care for the cake-like dense style. And he didn't finish the donut. So I tasted the donut and noted that something was very wrong! The white powdery substance on top of the donut was not sweet, not powdered sugar, as one would think. Nope, it was plain white flour or baking powder. Awful texture, awful taste, awful experience. I contacted them via Instagram and after an initial response of "oh no, we're sorry" and asking for my contact info so that their management can make it up to me, they haven't followed up with me. I know it was just a simple mistake made on their opening week, and they need to work out the kinks, but this experience - bad donut, bad customer service - really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm sure I'll try them again but maybe not in the near future. read more

Very good food! Kolaches are good, but too expensive for just 1. I like how they out the cheese on the outside of the sausage instead of just a sausage stuffed with cheese. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches with a friend egg. That's the winner read more

I can't get enough of this place! I don't eat this type of food a whole lot, but this place makes it tough for me. Their doughnuts are fantastic and I love their draft lattes. But my favorite thing, the breakfast buns. Oh. My. Goodness. Their special Cracked Sauce & pepper jam is perfection, especially together, with that sweet & spicy combo. Oh, and they serve breakfast all day, so yes, I've gotten the breakfast sandwich for lunch. All the workers have been very friendly as well. I left a couple of bucks in the tip jar and the girl at the register was so appreciative. My only negative would be their new shakes. I tried the Banana Puddin' shake & it seemed to be just vanilla ice cream with banana flavor instead of real banana. Big no for me. But everything else is so great. I highly recommend Hero. read more

Very good! Peaches and cream doughnut was amazing! So glad I found this place! I had the breakfast plate and it was very good! Personally I didn't like the toast but it was just the kind of bread read more

I do not understand Hero's Donut's strategy...I have been here three different times to purchase their OG donuts and each time I was not able to. Today, Sunday 12/15...I walk in at 12:42pm...They close at 4:00pm...And they are out of those donuts and are not making anymore. I speak with the manager and she tells me in a very condescending tone that they are more then just a "donut shop" and they are not just going to throw a bunch of donuts away at the end of the day...IT IS NOT EVEN 1:00pm!!! And...the manager also tells me I should start calling before I come...Really??? Why not have the product that is in your name available??? SMH... read more

I love this hero's location because: 1. The staff and management team are friendly kind and accommodating 2. They treat us like family every time we're there and don't seem to ever get exhausted with our request or my endless comments about wanting the salads back. 3. They are thoughtful always...even ask questions about my order when I forget to make my normal substitute request. 4. The partners are open and transparent about menu changes and I appreciate how they listen with care to my complaints yes about the salads. Today, however was special. I stopped by for donuts and breakfast with the family while juggling a work call before the holiday. And when I sat down after my call they surprised me with a special order Kale Caesar Salad. I just am beyond the moon at the thoughtfulness of the management team and partners. I appreciated this more than can be expressed. The longing for the Creamy peppery crunch of the kale Caesar salad was met today and indeed just melted my tastebuds and my heart! Thank you all so much for this!! And I'll be back again in a few weeks when we return from our travels. read more

If you live in Stadium Trace it is very short ride to Stadium Trace Village. The parking lot is a bit tight but that's not really issue. We went for a casual family lunch. We ordered Super Crunch, French Toast (you can order breakfast for lunch), and two Classic Burgers. The customer service Is wonderful and so is the atmosphere. The food is at the level of OK. The Super Crunch was not very crunchy and the French Toast was a bit too heavy on the (what I suspect as) vanilla. Overall we were satisfied but not wowed. Disappointing, is there is not a huge ready made doughnut selection. It is quite small portion of the restaurant. read more

We were in Birmingham for a wedding and on the way out of town we dropped om at Hero for donuts. We had heard they are really good and they did not disappoint. Like most restaurant offerings these days it is a little pricey, but that seems to be the norm these days. read more

Small portions HIGH prices. I love fries and high hopes for them here...unfortunately, the fries are trash. Will not be back.

Not allergy friendly! Waiters don't know what has allergens and guess what is safe. You can't order over the phone but online ordering doesn't allow you to note allergies or make special requests. I would request a manager in person and over the phone if you have allergies. read more

Great food and experience. Little pricey but you get a good product in return. Will be returning

Great service! Great doughnuts! Counter staff went above and beyond to help make a birthday special. read more

Very small portions for the price. My husband's breakfast order was incorrect and my side of macaroni and cheese was lukewarm. Taste was mediocre at best. Other area burger and breakfast restaurants far surpass Hero Donuts in my opinion. read more
