Anand DhanasekharanJune 18, 2016Absolutely loved this place. Nice patio for my dog too. The Funky Monkey was just mouth watering with the crispy bananas and ice cream. Never imagined fried donuts to taste this awesome.Upvote4Downvote
Mark BMarch 19, 2017Very cool restaurant/bar specializing in donut fare.Burgers and sandwiches using donuts.Probably not most healthy but very tasty. Try the Rob Burgundy burger...very filling. Outdoor seating available.

TiffanyApril 19, 2016A sit down bar/restaurant version of the food truck that serves up a wider range of savory donut dishes. There's also a bar event going on every night so opt in for those as well!

Lois RJuly 25, 2017The Big Baller was delicious. Loved the pimento cheese spread on it. We split it so we'd have enough room for a dessert donut.

Get the Bacon Me Crazy donut sandwich; it is UH-MAZE-ING! The chicken and dumplings are also the best I've ever had. I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day!

MeichenAugust 6, 2014The Ron Burgundy was delicious, a good size to be shared with one other person. The fried pickles were also great at just $5 on Mondays.

Austin ChronicleFebruary 14, 2013We can’t get enough of the Salty Balls – doughnut holes swimming in salted butter caramel sauce and topped with cream cheese icing and dry roasted peanuts. You can do gym penance later. Read more

Lety LNovember 24, 2012Top spot in Austin to bring anyone for their "last meal," last meal before a triple bypass, a lengthy amt spent in the pokey, or before they leave to study abroad. This place'll unite those porkhatersUpvote5Downvote
Ash McGJanuary 25, 2013On Thursdays, all specialty cocktails are either $5 or $6. They come in mason jars, some include jalapeños or egg whites, and they all look delicious as fuck. Try the Apples & Pears!Upvote2Downvote- Sarah HibbardNovember 5, 2018Gourdough's has the biggest, baddest, most delicious gourmet donuts you didn't even know you asked for. The perfect midnight snack!

David PittsSeptember 30, 2014Donuts. This place has them. I had fried chicken and cream corn with candied jalapeños on top of one and I still have dreams about it.Upvote3Downvote
BANCO HOLLANDERNovember 20, 2012If you try one thing on the menu besides the dessert donuts make it the Saussy Cock. It will change your foodie world. Best damn sandwich I've had in a long time barn none.Upvote3Downvote
Mia MooreFebruary 10, 2013If you don't eat meat, they have an in-house made veggie patty (which is for some reason not indicated anywhere). You can replace this with any of the meat on entrees, burgers, or sandwiches.Upvote3Downvote

Brissa YtuarteNovember 7, 2015Service was terrible but the donuts are killer. We waited over 30 min for donuts and they had placed our order on the bar without telling us for a while. Then they forgot to ask for us to pay
