The donuts were up there with the best I've ever had reminding me of shops that have long passed with chains taking over. The red velvet literally was a sweet explosion in my mouth. And you can order the exact number of donut holes that you want. read more

Very outdated, the donuts did NOT particularly looked appetizing. I will say though the red velvet donut was different and it tasted pretty good it just WAS NOT fresh. Perhaps it was due to the day I went or time (9:30-10:30) i visited. Not sure read more

Best donuts in town. If you like to have the best donut in town, go to Howard's. You will thank me later.

I voted my opinion she listened. I told her how nice her team was and she also promoted them I loved it.She apologize and rectified the Issue .She was Very professional. Thank Kelsey for being a great supervisor. A Nunn read more

Well, I remember the place as Harlow's and the best donut shop in the south that just made a kid smile. When I go back through the state I always make a point to stop and get a mix of donuts. That place used to have wall to wall donuts and the cutest wire heart back chairs with red cushions. Loved getting white powdered donuts and chocolate milk every weekend, and my sister would get a coke from the coke machine on the far back wall and chocolate donuts. My dad usually got a bear claw or an apple fritter. What great memories I have of that place. I hope it never shuts down and I sure wish they would redress the building like it was when it was Harlow's. read more

donuts were terrible. Tasted like pilsbury muffins cut into donut shapes. asked for a raspberry filled, the put a circular blob of jelly on the surface of the donut but didn't put any inside the thing. im embarrassed that i brought these for my family. read more

Food is good, especially their tiger tails. Be aware they have changed their days for being open and are not open Monday and Tuesday.

Better than the average donuts in my book, this place was a sweet stop. The donuts are not exactly round. . .hmm, but they had a good selection at 7:30 am on a weekday. I especially liked the glazed with coconut. read more

Best donuts ever! Stopped to get coffee and a donut before traveling. Ended up buying a dozen.

We found this place by pure coincidence looking for a part for our bus! It's definitely a whole in the wall gem. I love blueberry cake donuts and they had!!! My boyfriend had a glazed custard and since we are with our pups we got them an old fashion donut!!! Needless to say they were DELISH!!! So moist, fresh and full of flavor!! We are so happy we stumbled upon this yumminess read more

Found this place looking for coffee after 6pm. I tried to be good, but ended up getting a red velvet donut, too (the wonderful lady behind the counter was persuasive ;) hehe). The coffee was good, the donut was fabulous. Go check it out! read more

Best doughnuts in the world hands down. Nothing beats a Howard's glazed doughnut! They are also super affordable.

Heaven. Best donuts in the entire world. Let me tell you a story. Many many years ago, a lady that still works there today was working late at night. My mother in law had called to see if they were open and if so, what donuts were available. The woman was polite and was explaining to her the options when suddenly, the woman screamed and told my mother in law that they were being robbed gun point. The woman calmly handled the robber then returned to my mother in law on the phone and asked her what donuts she would like held for her. Y'all. That's customer service! My dads favorite is the Hawaiian delight. My husbands is the icing filled long john topped with peanuts. Me? I like the good ole' fat fatty yeast donuts with glaze. THE BEST IN THE WORLD. Tell your friends. Today. read more

Best donuts ever!!! Loved them! Don't hate me, but I'm usually not a big donut fan.... These donuts changed my mind. We stopped here on our way to North Carolina, and we loved them so much we had to stop on our way back. The Hawaiian Delight is AMAZING. It's basically a fritter donut, and it's so good! Our family fell in love with these, so we were excited to have more on our return trip...Sadly, they were sold out (even though we stopped by in the morning around 10am). Obviously it's one of their best sellers! Another donut I loved was their Orange Dream Knot (not sure I remembered the name right). It's the one in the picture! It was really yummy, great if you love fruity flavors. My family also enjoyed the jelly donuts! The donut-to-jelly ratio was really good. If you are a fan of cake donuts, I recommend the blueberry cake donut! My brothers like normal glazed donuts, and they really enjoyed the glazed donuts here. They have a donut for everyone, so make the stop if you have the chance to come here. It's completely worth it! (Maybe call ahead if there is a special donut you want to try) read more

Disappointed that they open at 4 a.m but yet they don't have doughnuts ready! At 5 a.m still not ready Cinnamon rolls and twists apple fritters . read more

This place has been around since I was a little girl (more than 40 years ago). Remembering coming here with my Momma always brings backs happy memories. The staff is very nice and helpful. The donuts are great!! read more

Very unassuming sign outside. Spectacular fresh donuts inside. Red Velvet Donut with Cream Cheese Frosting. (honest my tummy is rumbling right now) I also got to taste my husbands Custard Turnover. Yummy custard. The only thing I don't like is the tip cup on the counter. All you are doing is putting a donut in the bag, do I really gotta tip you for that? read more

Howard's Donuts - Red Velvet donut with Cream Cheese icing. I dare you to resist! - Donuts Near Me - West Memphis, Arkansas

We stopped as we were traveling... about 11 on a Sunday morning, there was a line, but worth the wait! We had apple fritters, a jelly filled donut, a coconut coated donut, a twist, donut holes and a fried donut. All were delicious and worth the stop! read more

Great place for fresh, homemade donuts! counter staff was friendly and fast! great coffee as well! highly recommend! read more

This was the first stop on my own custom donut trail as we ventured into Arkansas for a taste of Howard's Donuts. The service there was nice as we decided to get 4 donuts, which included a Texas style glazed donut. I wasn't too keen on the caramel donut, as it didn't have a good caramel taste. However, all the donuts were good and fluffy, especially the Texas style donut. Definitely a decent place to check out. read more

No comment on the Color or age of the folks there. Except that they were super sweet as many southerners are... "Bless there hearts". As for the DOnuts YUMMY . I like The cinnamon rolls fresh and tasty!!! read more

Amazing doughnuts that are cheap, innovative, and mood-elevators. I had the caramel cinnamon bun doughnut and the cream-on top chocolate. They were amazing. Definitely the 2nd best doughnuts I've ever had. (The first being the Doughnut Plant in Manhattan). But this clearly beats all your typical run of the mill doughnuts. It was definitely worth the trip out to Arkansas to try them out. We heard about them through word of mouth. read more

Howard's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - West Memphis, Arkansas

I'm never moving to the vicinity of Memphis, not because it has one of the highest crime rates in the country*, but because the doughnuts at Howard's DO Nuts are a crime in and of themselves. My sister in law told me about this place and I was kind of skeptical at first. Skeptical and craving a jelly donut. I checked out Howard's Yelp page and my skepticism began to fade. I wanted one but they were closed for Thanksgiving, ugh. So I waited patiently, like a small child on Christmas**, for morning to come so I could rush to Howards for some family made doughnuts. When I awoke there were 6 dozen doughnut holes sitting on the kitchen counter. I proceeded to eat roughly 1 to 2 dozen*** of the most wonderful glazed doughnut holes I have ever scarfed down. The story doesn't end there. About 3 hours and 24 donut holes later I found myself wanting more. I wanted the cinnamon roll & a jelly doughnut. My sister in law was more than willing to aide me in acquiring diabetes. She brought me back the jelly doughnut and cinnamon roll... And a glazed donut topped with cream. How long did they last from when she sat those sweet, loving donuts down on the table? Not very long. Probably about 1 minute. Not an exaggeration by any means. If it makes me look a little less disgusting I did share my cinnamon bun and glazed donut. They were all so good. So fresh, so soft. The glaze was perfect. Not single thing I'd change about these doughnuts. Even the price was outrageously reasonable. Another reviewer mentioned New York City's Doughnut Plant in his review, and while I do love those doughnuts I don't indulge myself very often because of the hefty price tag. Seriously though, I'm never moving anywhere near Howard's DO Nuts. That place is a doughnut away from a heart attack. So...very...good. I think Homer Simpson ordered those. That would explain a lot. ---- *I've decided that the crime rate and the awesomeness of Howard's Do NUTS have a positive correlation. The better the doughnuts at Howard's get, the higher the crime rate is. This may or may not have something to do with law enforcement spending most of their time indulging in a doughnut rather than policing the vicinity of Memphis. **When I referred to myself being as patient as a "small child on Christmas" I really meant I constantly (ahem, annoyingly) inquiring about what time Howard's would open on Friday morning, what type of doughnuts were the best, how many doughnuts I should/would/could eat...etc. ***I say roughly, because I kind of came up with the brilliant idea that if there were two (or more) doughnut holes stuck together it would only count as one. Genius. read more

This place has....wait for it, wait for it....awesome DO nuts!!! My wife always calls ahead as we are passing through for the highly coveted Hawaiian Delights. They usually sell out very early of this specialty dounut which has a pineapple and coconut taste to it. These doughnuts are the only touch of paradise in West Memphis. I try to eat them really slow to forget I'm in this armpit of a city. The coconut doughnut is another fabulous choice. My only qualm with Howard's is the restroom....it really needs some attention. My advice though is go for the doughnuts as a way to forget that you are in West Memphis...the doughnuts are really, really good!!!! read more

Delicious donuts. All that I tried were delicious. Red Velvet Blueberry cake Coconut Choc. with cream cheese filling Place was busy, but the staff was willing to take time to explain the different donuts since this was my first time. I asked about a Bavarian Creme. She said none on display, but she could make one if I want. She was ready to go in the back and fill one. With the long line, I opted to just get what was on display. Nice to have a non chain donut store that makes good donuts. read more

Simply the best donuts in the world. I really love the glazed old fashion and the cake donuts. My office really likes the blueberry and I've not mentioned that the regular glazed donut are out of this world. It's worth a drive to West a Memphis. read more

I'm 35 and Howard's has been a fixture of the West Memphis landscape with their iconic sign ever since I was a kid. Never change! read more

Made fresh everyday. Get the glazed donut holes... they always smell so good. They're always so soft and tender. The store is kinda old tho, and definitely with lots of working class white ppl hanging just like any small town store. *shrug* read more

Best donuts I have had in a quite some time that did not come a chain establishment. The donuts were nice and fluffy and sweet without going in diabetic shock. read more

This was my first timing stopping here and it will not be my last! I went in with the intentions of getting a cinnamon roll and left with a variety of donuts that were amazing (oh...and my cinnamon roll lol)! Make sure you get something with a filling! The only mistake I made was not grabbing more of the original glazed donuts! It was perfection! read more

I usually don't trust elderly white people in Confederate states, and this place is full of them - however, I somehow happened upon this place on a long-distance drive when I stopped to get gas. I tried a donut and the rest is history. I've been there three times and transported their donuts across multiple state lines. read more

These people make fresh doughnuts every day and you sure can tell. I drove all over this small town looking for something local and this was the only place still open. I am glad they have not been pushed out of town. If you are in this place go and taste a real great doughnut. read more

Probably the only jewel of west Memphis! The powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar donuts are wonderful along with the Carmel donut... We got there at 9pm, and there was still a pretty good selection of fresh donuts. Their hours are 6am to 11pm daily. So if your driving thru stop and get yourself a sweet treat! read more

Was stopping in WM for the evening on vacation. Saw this place open at 5 pm and had to stop. Grabbed a couple of donuts and headed back to hotel. They were so awesome we went back in he morning. The cases were full with every sort of donut imaginable. So glad I stopped. read more

Excellent, friendly service! Great selection. Apple fritter is "OMG wow!" good. Donuts perfectly light and airy. Would definitely recommend this donut shop. read more

I am nearly 50 years old and Howard's has been around even before that. Not sure how long its been around but they are the BEST. I always get a couple dozen of their Hawaiian Delights anytime I am around. I am glad they make them every day now. Hawaiian Delights are kinda like I would say a fritter but with coconut, pineapple and nuts. If you want some then you need to pre-order the night before so they have them set aside for you because they are the first donuts to sell out every day. Better than Dunkin read more

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM SO. GOOD!!! I'm so glad I don't live near Memphis because I would be a fat whale- I would go there every day if I could. read more

Headed home from the airport and had a craving for a donut. We were almost in West Memphis and no Krispy Kream. Did a search and found Howard's Do Nut had to give it a try and so glad we did. This will be my go-to when headed for airport. Hours are from 4 am to 11 pm so you can't miss. Tried several different items and gave 5 stars for everything. Do yourself a favor and check them out. Not a fancy shop but who cares. I didn't see any elderly white people while I was there. You can call and place an order and they will have it waiting for you. Can't wait for my next trip to the airport. read more

Best donuts I've had in a very long time. The people are awesome! Don't miss the red velvet donut yall!

Best donuts I have ever had...and I've had a lot of donuts. They all looked so good that my wife and I ended up getting way too many. The service was great. Anyone in the area must go! read more
