barbara hubbardJune 6, 2016When the donuts are freshly made, and still warm; you can't find donuts any better! Yummy, yummy, yummy says it all. If you haven't already, stop by and pick up some for the whole family!!
John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018If you are in a fresh donut kind of mood this is the place to go . They have a big delicious variety and they have coffee , juice, as well as sandwiches.
The doughnuts are really good. I know people come for the fritters, but as crazy as the Big Dat seems, that giant doughnut is fluffy, yeasty, & just enough glaze to be perfect. Get one to share...
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 11, 2012Our favorite donut is of the buttermilk persuasion. These lightly glazed, slightly tangy cake doughnuts achieve what few of their kind can—an airiness resembling that of their yeast-risen brethren. Read more
Jake SmithJuly 12, 2013In case you were wondering, the vanilla frosted one is filled with jelly, the chocolate frosted is Boston Creme, and the glass is bulletproof. Order two donuts and tip your server well!
- Big MarkFebruary 2, 2020Everything! Every donut is greasy and delicious and the breakfast sandwiches are the Bomb.
- Offering traditional glazed, strawberry frosted and cake doughnuts, the real star is the signature "Big Dat" doughnut (Eater)
Etrina T.December 2, 2012Deliciously light and decadent... Where else can you get a donut as big as your face??- Believe it or not the Big Dat is amazing perfect doughy goodness with the right amount of glaze. Great fritters too!

Ange SMarch 16, 2013Rather far from downtown, and the bus stop is an unmarked street corner. But Dat Donut's huge!
Benjamin SmithJanuary 17, 2013Behind that bulletproof glass, the big dat is a donut worth protecting.
Marc LeslieDecember 10, 2017Have the gotten rid of the flies?! Last time I was there the flies were eating donuts for free while the staff pretended like they weren't there!
