    Squealer - bottom right hand corner, 2nd donut in the first row next to the strawberry sprinkle
    Cristina Cici B.

    The squealer. Woah woah, hold on now, keep reading and you'll get it. I never thought I'd be one for a donut with bacon on it, until I came here. Smithfield's thing has and always will be pigs - so of course, "when in Rome", I went on a rampage of trying local pig/bacon themed items - and this was a very unexpected find which has now become a favorite. Maple glazed yeast donut with pieces of bacon crumbled on the top to add a bit of salty goodness to counteract the sweetness of the glaze. There's also no nonsense coffee available with creamers/milk etc - folks, a kind reminder this isn't starbucks, so no frappo-mappo-crappoccino's available. There isn't a donut from RingO's that I haven't loved, so go support your local donut haunt, or - go try this place for a first time! 009/2020

    Very good old-fashioned glazed doughnut. They have many other creative options. You'd better come early because they close after they sell out. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Their buttercream icing is some of the best I've ever tasted. Their caramel cream cake donut is absolutely fantastic!!! All I can say is wow!

    Amazing Donuts! Very tasty, not oily with good sugar and flavours. Different options to choose: chocolate, apple, cream.. good option for family, friends and gifts!

    We are lucky to have many independent donuts shops here in Hampton Roads. My go-to when I'm needing a donut hit (more like when my boys need it) is O'doodleDoo's (ODD). I had spotted RingO's Donuts (RD) after driving by in Smithfield. It's closed on Sundays so I was always missing them after visiting Windsor Castle Park, and ended up bookmarking them. Finally, after many attempts, I was able to stop by before they closed. J. Kirk Ring, a former banker, is the owner of RD, and opened in 2009. They serve both yeast and cake donuts; their specialty is the "Squealer"--a yeast raised donut with maple frosting and bacon sprinkles. Their reviews are high, but not many compared to all of the other donuts shops in the area. I would rather visit RD's again before reviewing, but I wanted them to get another review on their business page. Who knows when I'll get over there again? The paint and decorations of the outside is cute; however, the inside leaves much to be desired--no color, no interest, no nothing. The interior could be so awesome if someone took the time to paint, put up some pictures, and give it a little love. The space is quite large compared to ODD. Again, they could do so much more with this place! I was disappointed the second I walked inside. With that, let's move on to the donuts. You must be thinking why I gave them 4 stars if I hated the ambiance. Well, it's all about the donuts, folks! Look, I'm not coming here to stare at the walls; I'm here to eat delicious donuts. And their donuts are tasty! I have to say we thought their donuts were better than ODD's donuts. While ODD's creations are beautiful and sugary, RD's donuts are more simple and delectable. My favorite of RD's was the Pumpkin donut: moist, cake-like, and with a strong pumpkin spice flavor. Heavenly! One last thing to mention about: value. RD sells a dozen of donuts for $8.95. I can't find any independent donut shops for close to that price, can you? Most places sell a dozen for over $12. Now, that's a deal. If you get a chance in the Smithfield area, check out RD. Try to get there early because they sell out, which I will do myself soon.

    Love the texture and flavors of the donuts. Personally, I hate cakey donuts (too dense) and this shop makes more bready textured donuts, which I LOVE. The dough was fluffy, airy and light. Most importantly the flavors are on point, donuts are not greasy. Nothing is overly sweetened. Will absolutely be a returning customer. If you haven't try this place I highly recommend!

    They are delicious and there cake donuts are great and I don't like cake donuts . Why do they need 85 things to say a place is really good?

    I was driving past the farmer's market and saw the Klassic Donut truck, so I had to stop by. We…read morebusting U-turns!! Lol. The line was definitely lining! Which is nothing new, but it moves pretty quickly. I'm a talker so I'll always find someone to talk to while waiting to make the time go by faster. Their flavor schedule changes, so follow them on Facebook. This week they had cinnamon sugar, klassic glazed, and strawberry. I got glazed and strawberry. I got a dozen last time and realized the texture changes after the first day. You can pop them in the microwave, but it'll never be the same as the fresh ones because they thicken up. So I highly recommend eating some before you even get out of the parking lot to get the best melt in your mouth experience!! The glazed is one of my favorite. It's a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It sincerely melts in your mouth. They're also pretty big, and while waiting you can see them making the donuts, with the glaze dripping off. It's exciting to get to the front after waiting in line. The strawberry one was good, but not better than the original glazed. I can't wait to try the lemon one. The staff is always friendly and they keep the line moving!! You can also preorder to skip the line. If you see them, I absolutely recommend stopping to try at least 1. You won't regret it. Lol. Check them out!!!

The line was long so I waited about 45mins but it was worth the wait. Went to the farmers market location and the truck was easy to spot. The weekly flavor was strawberry glazed and it was to die for. Tasted super fresh and warm. The glazed was great too!
