    Southern Lovin
    Mark Y.

    This is basically a coffee shop with fancy donuts that also serves burgers and has a nice breakfast menu. Prices are good, everything was clean, and the staff was friendly. I ordered the Southern Lovin biscuit sandwich. I got a big fluffy biscuit, a huge piece of chicken, and delicious bacon perfectly crisped. One of the best biscuit sandwiches I've had outside of Nashville. Yum!

    These were the five dollar hand cut fries

    I visited Joe Donut - Mt Prospect on a Saturday afternoon around 12 p.m. The place wasn't busy and there were many people working behind the counter, so it definitely had an energetic vibe. That said, the experience felt a little disorganized. The girl who rang me up seemed to be new. Everyone has to start somewhere, of course, but there was an overbearing manager (perhaps the owner) hovering nearby who didn't appear to be offering much actual guidance or training. The dynamic felt more tense than supportive, which was noticeable as a customer. As for the food, prices seemed a bit high for what you receive. The value didn't quite match the portion size. We ordered the Double Royal with Cheese, and it was about the size of a McDonald's double cheeseburger. It tasted fine, but for the price point $10, I expected something more substantial. We also ordered the $5 "hand-cut" fries, which were clearly pre-cut and frozen. That was disappointing, especially given the premium price point and the expectation set by the description. Overall, not a terrible stop, but between the pricing, portion size, and the uncomfortable front-counter dynamic, it didn't quite live up to expectations. We did not try the donuts, but they also appeared to be on the higher end when you compare other local options.

    Small sampling of donuts! Also wasn't the biggest fan of their maple bacon. They need to cook the bacon more. But the rest are good

    So I've never actually been inside and I've only brought them home but, they are pretty good but I have a couple gripes with them. I understand that creative license is a big thing in food. But when there is a classic item that people are expecting to be a certain way and you mess with that, it doesn't go over well. At least not for me. Specifically I'm talking about their very loose interpretation of a Boston cream donut. I also love a good maple bacon donut but , they definitely need to cook the bacon for those donuts more. Both of these are in my pictures, so you can see what I'm talking about. Overall the variety and flavor of the donuts is pretty great, but I've also dealt with a lot of attitude from the staff. So I didn't appreciate that. As I said I haven't been in the actual location myself but to speak to the Ambiance at least the parking lot and that situation is not the greatest. It does look very clean from what I've seen, but there are other places I would go before here. That said if you're close by and craving a donut definitely worth a stop in. I do still want to visit one day and get something other than Donuts. But for now this is where I stand. Don't take my word for it though give them a try if you're in the area!

    Outstanding donut shop with great coffee and service. $14 for half dozen. The staff really take care of customers. Good location. Most highly recommended!

    Pistachio and chocolate covered old fashion, maple bacon,  red velvet, sprinklers

    In an area that is saturated with Dunkin' Donuts, it was nice to find something different. In a sit down, modern location, Joe donut is offering up some of the more progressive varieties in the area. Grabbed a half dozen including a maple bacon, red velvet, pistachio old fashioned, chocolate covered old fashioned, and sprinkles for the kids represents the most expensive donuts I've ever purchased coming in at $14. Looks like they also serve some traditional egg sandwiches and espresso drinks. First samples of the donut collection showed signs that some were not fresh baked that morning with the glaze crumbling off in chunks on the first bite and the cream cheese topping on the red velvet being oxidized. Even though they have some of the more unique donut offerings, I prefer mine to be fresh baked.

    Great donuts and coffee! Polite service :) I have to make this 85 characters to post lol

    Decided to pop in here one afternoon as I've passed this place quite a few times. I looked at the menu before going in but they were already sold out of some of their donuts so I went with what they had. The good? The berry flavored donuts were my favorite. Typically I like chocolate flavored but I was a bit let down with the Oreo, chocolate frosted old fashioned, and s'mores donuts. I think next time I would want to check out their food menu versus donuts. Not sure if I'd be up to paying $12 + tax for the donuts again.

    Scramble with chicken sausage and avocado. The potatoes are Amazing!!!

    Cold coffee. Stale donuts and not much of a selection. The first bite left a layer of grease on the roof of my mouth. Skip this place.

    They are on the eastern end of the strip here so they have a drive through, which is super handy…read more Prices are high. It's a small business, and they make orders on the spot instead of making burgers ahead and leaving them in a warming tray, so that's ok to some extent but not a place where I would be able to go very often. The fries weren't good. They weren't at all crispy; they seemed like fries that had been sitting around for a bit. They were that kind of wrinkly that fries get after a few minutes, if you know what I mean, and limp. Disappointing and nearly inedible; I only ate maybe half. They were amongst the worst fries I've ever had, but maybe this is the one bit of their menu they don't make to order and if I'd had them fresh it would be good. Because they make their food to order, it takes a bit for your food to be ready. I think it took about 10 minutes, and if there had been anyone behind me I think they have a couple of spaces in the front of the restaurant to wait.

    Saw the cool Star Trek font lettering and had to stop in…read more I was greeted when I walked in. They have an ordering kiosk but the guy behind the counter said he would take my order. I told him, I'm cool with ordering from the kiosk. I ordered a Bumper dog, Bumper burger and the Boosted Bumper Fries that has their fresh cut fries, Bumper sauce, cheese sauce, caramelized onion and diced jalapeño. I received my food and everything came in their branded boxes. They have the most comfy chairs. I started with the Bumper Burger which is a thin smash patty that came with Bumper Sauce (it reminds me of Big Mac sauce), lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It was the on a soft bun. All the flavors were okay, kind of on the small side. The Bumper Dog was a Chicago style hot dog. All the toppings were on the bottom with a split grilled dog. I ended up flipping the pickle on dog to eat it. To me the split dog was kind of lost. The Boosted Bumper Fries were a big hit. They made sure that you got all off the topping until you got to the bottom of the box. I found myself shoveling them in my mouth. It's messy and definitely a 20 napkin meal. Also they have the coolest bathroom.

Just expect good food, fast. Their menu is simple: burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, fries, pop, and milkshakes. The burgers come in either a single, double, or triple stack, with cheese. I got the cheeseburger and hubby got the two on two (double stack) and we were satisfied with the burgers. It was simple, juicy, grilled and good. The whole family loved the fries. Service was pretty fast, we got ours in less than 10 minutes. Dining tables are available inside to eat, and also a few tables outside in the parking lot if you prefer the outdoors. If you are familiar with the movie The Sandlot, they have their pictures all over the walls. Not sure if they are directly affiliated with the movie, but it definitely brings back that nostalgia. Overall, great burger joint and I would come back again!
