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!!!

I have passed by this Joe Donut location for the past 4 months anxiously awaiting for them to open and finally had a chance to eat in. I've heard good reviews about the donuts from their other locations, mainly the Niles location. This location has a breakfast and lunch menu along with donuts! Walking in, you order at the counter (donut, breakfast, lunch, etc.). The place isn't too large, but it's pretty cozy and comfy. Hubby and I went around lunchtime and it wasn't busy. We took our menu to the table to look over before returning to the counter to order. He ordered a steak and egg sandwich on a ciabatta. They didn't have iced tea, but had bottled (Lipton) drinks in a cooler for him to buy. I ordered the Mom Jeans (chicken sausage egg scramble with avocado) and it came with a side of pancakes. I ordered a small cold brew. Hubs said his sandwich was tasty. My scramble was pretty good too. The pancakes were tasty served with sweetened whipped butter and syrup. The cold brew was ok. On our way out, we bought a dozen donuts. Some were good and some were a bit of a miss for us. The cake donuts were too dry for us and frosting fell off after our first bite of our donuts. Maybe it was an off batch? The guy working the front of the house was really nice and friendly. He cared about the business and we could tell he was either the manager or owner. He was doing the cleaning up of the area and brought our food out to us. The woman who took our order at the register and helped us with our donuts later never once smiled. She didn't seem like she wanted to be there and it was just awkward asking her questions. She wasn't emitting warm, friendly, or welcoming vibes at all! The breakfast and lunch part was good. It didn't quite feel like a regular sit down breakfasts lunch restaurant, but the food was good. The donut was so-so. The service was definitely mixed, depending on who was helping us.

Donuts!

This place is great, you can't go wrong if your looking for breakfast or lunch everything on the menu is good I highly recommend the breakfast burrito it's the best I have ever tasted in my life hands down.

I went in expecting a solid burger, but what I got was something much more deliberate--almost…read moreengineered. This wasn't just a stack of ingredients; it felt like every layer had a purpose. The bun was the first signal they knew what they were doing--lightly toasted, just enough structure to hold everything together without stealing attention. Then came the patty: thick, juicy, with that perfect sear that gives you a bit of crisp before it melts into richness. But the real centerpiece? The fried egg. Perfectly cooked--edges slightly crisp, yolk still runny. The moment you bite in, it breaks and seeps into the meat, turning each bite into something borderline indulgent. It doesn't overpower the burger; it elevates it, adding a creamy texture that balances the salt and char of the beef. The toppings were minimal but intentional--fresh lettuce for crunch, a slice of tomato for brightness, and just enough sauce to tie it all together without making a mess. It's the kind of burger that makes you slow down halfway through, not because you're full, but because you realize it deserves your full attention. Messy in the best way, rich without being overwhelming, and anchored by that fried egg that takes it from good to unforgettable.

I also love the military artwork outside as I'm an Army Ranger on the inside...but I'm a foodie on the outside....Their creed is to never leave a fallen Ranger, no matter what the cost.. We need to support local and family businesses too. Yelp elites, we can do this, come and enjoy these burgers at American Wildburger!!

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!
