Smack Dab

Decided to explore downtown Chicago this weekend and wanted to grab a little snack to enjoy on my…read morewalk. That's when I stumbled upon Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken! I arrived around 9:30 AM, and their most popular donuts were already almost sold out. That's always a good sign! I ended up getting a cruller and a strawberry-frosted donut. I tried to practice a little self-control by eating only half of each and saving the rest for later, but that plan quickly went out the window. They were just too good to resist! Later in the day, I told my friend she needed to check this place out for their donuts, only for her to tell me that it's her go-to spot every Sunday. Clearly, she's been in on this little gem for a while! While paying for my donuts, I also noticed they serve chicken, which gives me another reason to come back. I can't wait to try some more of their donuts and eventually venture into their chicken sandwiches. Definitely worth a stop when exploring downtown Chicago, especially if you have a sweet tooth!

We walked to this location and it was busy! It's a walk-in location but they have a few stools inside and tables outside to enjoy your food. In addition to donuts, as the name suggests they also have a variety of chicken tenders and sandwiches, but at 9:30 in the morning, it was a little early for me to enjoy chicken, but I'm sure it's delicious! It was hard to choose what donut to eat because they all looked delicious, but I settled on the apple fritter and my wife had the gluten-free sprinkle one and it was so good, she ordered a second to go. My apple fritter was great and not too sweet. Based on the donuts, I would come back to try the chicken! What a great local spot with great donuts.

Do-rite, Voodoo, Firecakes, even Stan's under some conditions; Doughnut Vault beats them all! Maybe it's because they were made an hour or two ago? Maybe they use better/fresher oil? I don't know, and frankly, it makes no difference to the smile on my face. The two donuts I had that day were their daily specials. IIRC, one was a Salted Caramel Old Fashioned, and the other was a Yeast Apple(something) filled donut. The Old Fashioned blew me away. The dough had a very light, but nonetheless present crispness from being fried. The dough itself was sweet, and the salted caramel coating was on point, with actual salt notes coming through. The apple-filled was similarly delicious, though I regret cutting this into pieces and enjoying it over three days, for this made it seem like there was not enough filling! Learn from my mistakes, and enjoy these things whole! More to love is that their prices are more than reasonable for the quality, and the service is friendly, knowledgeable, and fast! If there is one quibble that I have, it's that the donuts were just a touch sweeter than I would prefer. However, this is a matter of personal preference, since these are donuts for crying out loud! Final verdict: Best donuts ever! Go! Do!

We got there around 11 AM and unfortunately, a lot of flavors were already sold out. The interior…read moreis very small. You basically walk in and immediately see the donut counter, with room for maybe 4 customers max. Service was amazing! The guy greeted us as soon as we walked in and had such big energy.

The pistachio old fashioned was nothing too special. It tasted more like a dense cake, was slightly oily, but I did like how dense and filling it was. 6/10. Definitely want to come back earlier next time to try more of their flavors!

The lady at the front was super nice and gave me some recommendations, and we ended up getting the Chocolate Glazed Brioche. And wow... this donut was huge. Super soft on the inside, almost pillowy, and covered in a thick layer of chocolate glaze. First bite, you get that rich chocolate flavor right away, smooth and sweet without tasting fake or overly sugary. The brioche itself had that buttery flavor to it, light but still filling. The texture was probably the best part. Soft center, slight chew from the brioche, and the glaze added just enough thickness on top to make every bite feel rich. Honestly, it was almost too much for one person, but in the best way possible. Definitely lived up to the hype for me.

I tried the maple pecan glazed donut, which was overwhelmingly sweet. Even after just one bite, the intense sugar rush was immediate and overpowering, making it difficult to enjoy the other flavors.

Tl:dr A handcrafted, handmade breakfast sandwich bakery that specializes in all that, & donuts with various allergen free ingredients. The moment you step inside this location (of which there are two more), & this is the larger of the three, & the newest one, you feel like this is a part of a larger whole. Yes, that includes that whole, & the hole in the numerous doughnuts they offer. You. Will. Feel. Whole after your first few bites, & especially after one of their breakfast sandwiches. And, if you don't, then go ahead, & practice yoga with the convenient chart in the bathroom on the right side! There's plenty of room in the bathroom to do yoga after you've been smacked down hard with all the Smack Dab baked sandwiches, biscuits, muffins, & donuts! Then you shall feel whole, & perhaps without the holier than thou attitude. What's more?! Their food is handcrafted, & handmade in house with select ingredients, & often times from the local area. Food: their doughnuts are vegan, & you'll likely have them in flavors such as passion fruit guava, chai, cinnamon sugar, & the like. Their cheesy herb biscuits are good with their house made jams or sandwiched between soft scrambled eggs with your choice of add ons: red onion, tomato, & bacon jams. It's tough to choose between the jams, so might as well mix atleast two into the breakfast sandwich. What I like about the business is their adherence to the community specifically, & not just to Chicago. It's heartening to see people do good, & smack down good, & proper in a world of people selling bananas in a banana republic. Except, Smack Dab sells oranges in a banana republic, & has fun like a monkey in a banana tree notwithstanding. read more

Smack Dab is more than just a restaurant; it's a community cornerstone. Their unwavering commitment to ethical and moral practices shines through in every aspect of their business. While I've been a loyal patron of their exceptional breakfast menu for years, their recent foray into dinner has been nothing short of spectacular. The Peachy Keen and Milk and Honey pizzas are absolute showstoppers. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, and the perfectly executed hush puppies are the ideal complement. It's clear that the same care and attention to detail that have made their breakfast menu legendary have seamlessly translated to their dinner offerings. Beyond the incredible food, Smack Dab is a place where you feel good about supporting. They're a shining example of how to run a business with integrity and deliciousness. I can't wait to explore more of their dinner menu! Highly recommend! read more

I went here with a friend and it was good, but sadly, not great. They only had one server, and I felt really bad for them having to cover both the indoor and outdoor seating. There seemed to be a lot of BOH staff for such a small place. I ordered a maple latte that was pretty disappointing. It was lukewarm and lacked flavor. My breakfast sandwich, the best seller, was yummy but not worth the price point in my opinion. My friend loved her dish, the Indian sandwich with a side salad. One perk is they are in a strip mall, so there's easy parking. I'm not in a rush to return, but overall it wasn't a bad experience, there's just room for improvement. read more

Cute queer friendly cafe. I'd probably go more for the vibe than the food. That being said, nothing was bad. The donuts are sort of churro like, but none of the flavors were particularly standout.

We both ordered "My Favorite Chicken Sandwich" which included Cabbage salad, radish, scallions, spicy mayo, and spinach. I liked it but when I lifted up half of the Croissant roll the chicken was puny. I asked the manager don't you think that there isn't that much chicken on the sandwich? He said no because it's a Chicken Thigh? It didn't say Chicken Thigh on the menu. So, if you're used to a Nashville type chicken sandwich this may not be your kind of place. Everything on the sandwich was really good including the croissant roll and all of the ingredients. I'd go back and order something different I liked their Iced Tea. It was very good.
