Melinda JacksonJuly 14, 2015Went on a Sat morn and it was busy. Donuts are great even if the server thought I said 3 donuts not 1. Sandwiches are great even though there was a wait on chicken. Not happy w the service. Food ruled
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014Doughnut flavors like (Maple Bacon and Brooklyn Blackout are served every day), and his grandma's buttermilk fried chicken recipe (you can kick it up with a spicy garlic blend or a Sriracha blend). Read more- LaDaryl ScottAugust 7, 2014You have to try the Old Bay Chicken Sandwich! Don't worry about the calories, just do it! You will be glad you did, trust me!
Cynthia SmithAugust 27, 2021The Classic South Fried Chicken sandwich was so tender/crispy with er'y bite and yes they added the hot sauce! Key Lime pie.Come one come all. If you want the creme brulle ,come early!
Behrad EatsDecember 31, 2014The Fried Chicken BLT is a great sandwich balancing the savoriness of the fries chicken and bacon with the sweetness of the doughnut bun.
DailyCandyFebruary 14, 2014Seasonal selections like panettone (yeast-raised fruitcake with rum glaze and almonds) comprise a lineup of seven flavors, plus five revolving daily specials (black and white cookie, grapefruit).
Tracy IsaacJune 7, 2015Amazing chicken and doughnuts. Skip GBD on Conn Ave and come to the Penn-Quarter for the HUGE spicy chicken sandwich and the creme brûlée doughnuts. Let your inner child enjoy some treats.
Shirin JafariJune 22, 2017BEST DONUTS EVER. Obviously no need to say it again but definitely try their all-time fav the Creme brûlée donut 😍
Wael HazzaziJune 7, 2019Spicy chicken with old bay doughnuts and ranch sauce. So good 👌🏼. Also cake batter doughnuts for dessert
Rosemary MApril 8, 2016What's good here you ask? I had the Chilean fingers which is really more like 🍗🍩chicken tendersand the vanilla bean donut... delicious. Will def come back!!
Serious EatsOctober 2, 2013A tiny take-out counter serving fried chicken and doughnut. While the chicken is classic Southern, the doughnut flavors tend to be unique.
Hannah LuddyJanuary 5, 2017The best donuts in the district, especially the maple bacon. Definitely going back to try the fried chicken.
Joe MontesAugust 6, 2018Try a speciality donut! They are pretty unique. I had the guava smoothie donut and the icing was tart and delicious.
Washington PostMarch 6, 2014The creme brulee doughnut gets a blast from a kitchen torch, a fiery moment that yields a crackled, sugary, just-shy-of-burned glaze. Read more
Jake SmithMay 19, 2014Grab a doughnut (Brooklyn Blackout), some chicken (original recipe), and a table out front for a great people-watching experience in downtown D.C.
Jastine KhoJuly 11, 2017I've consumed a fair share of doughnuts and I must say that this is one of the better ones.
Great spot! Love the staff and owner. Have always been super nice to my son and my family. Can't say enough nice stuff.
William DonahoeJuly 28, 2014Get there early for the best doughnut selection! They run pretty low by the end of the day on the weekends, at least.- Bitches Who BrunchMarch 4, 2016Varieties include daily favorites like mape bacon and crѐme brûlée, or rotating monthly indulgences of Brooklyn blackout or Boston cream.
- Kyle R.August 26, 2014The old bay chicken sandwich is everything you dreamed. But you can't go wrong with their maple bacon doughnut either!
Iffat JokhioApril 6, 2015Yum! Best doughnuts in the area (unless you're by Eastern Market, then go to District Doughnut). Fingers are great too!
Jared JarodJuly 8, 2013Peanut butter & jelly doughnut is so delicious and don't get me started about the Classic chicken special, moist yet crispy ooo wee
Asli SSeptember 11, 2016The staff members were a little unorganized...but I was very happy with the maple bacon!
Harper WentzApril 20, 2015I had the fried chicken and I thought it was crispy, perfectly seasoned, and very juicy❤️ I absolutely loved
Carm PMay 5, 2014Pb&j awesome creme brûlée amazing. Not a fan of the bacon maple. Think GBD bacon bourbon maple is better
Aroon SharmaJuly 10, 2014Tiny place but great fried chicken and unique doughnuts. Best doughnut selection is in the morning if course!
David GraciaJuly 5, 2018The vanilla glazed donut and the fried chicken breakfast sandwich are both phenomenal
Like the idea of a donut ice cream sandwich. But this was more like ice cream on a glazed hamburger bun. I hope they develop this concept some more.
Missy SwearingenOctober 21, 2014Highly recommend this place. Grab a pb&j doughnut and a couple pieces of fried chicken
Brooklyn Blackout is a brownie in doughnut form. Bourbon vanilla glazed is almost soupy in glaze.
Mary GlazenerJanuary 24, 2017What a unique and creative spot. Love the food and the people are great too!!
Katherine GarciaDecember 16, 2016I tried three types of donuts, just one of them liked it (chocolate with candy cane)
