Awesome little donut shop! The building used to be an old gas station. An old gas pump is still out front. You can't miss the bright yellow exterior right off of Highway 101 in Florence. We walked in about 20 minutes before closing and were immediately greeted by the owner. He was very friendly and helpful. My husband was admiring the huge mixer in the lobby, and the owner brought up a picture on his phone of his wife standing by their even bigger mixer in the back. Super cool. We ended up ordering 4 donuts... chocolate frosted buttermilk bar, maple frosted buttermilk bar, regular old fashioned and chocolate frosted old fashioned. Since we showed up so close to closing, he threw in a couple extra donuts on the house! So nice! All the donuts were super fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend. read more

Went around lunchtime and it was super busy. I got a breakfast burrito, my girlfriend got a Rueben, and we both got potato salad and a donut. The food was ready quick and tasted excellent and the customer service was great. Will be going back next time I'm in the area. read more

Great service, delicious everything. Breakfast burritos are so good. And the biscuits and gravy. Mine better

Not-so-hidden gem on Highway 101 [Florence OR] Needed to fuel up with sugar to start our 2nd full day on the Oregon coast and we stopped at this unassuming donut shop along Highway 101 in Florence. Don't be fooled by its small exterior with a bright yellow entry way and was once an old gas station with an old antique pump even. The donut case was semi full when we arrived around 9:00a with a good variety. Hot chocolate and a cinnamon swirl for me... coffee and chocolate glazed for the hubby. Warm, fresh pillowy soft dough that's so good! The sugar and cinnamon were evenly spread on my donut (more cinnamon, actually). Friendly service. I should've bought more donuts. We were in and out in less than five minutes. Excellent value! Review #3246 read more

My husband and I recently tried Big Dog Donuts & Deli. The restaurant is very welcoming and friendly. Customer service is excellent. The food is exceptionally good. The donuts are delicious. They also have a menu that offers multiple hot breakfast items, such as the 3 egg scramble (ours included bacon and cheese mixed in. So good!); and biscuits & gravy, among other items. There are multiple sandwiches on the menu which are also delicious. There is a small indoor dining area, or they are happy to make the order to go. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant! read more

Sweet hearty donuts for yout sweet tooth and savory hot pastrami for your hunger. These folks make their goods exactlty how I would if I could make goods. They grill their sammiches toasty, caramelized, with exactly the right amount of sizzled toasty crust an attentive food lover loves. Dig the classic old school ambiance, take home some filling buttermilk bars, and savor sweet and savory far removed from factory food. read more

We love big dog donuts! Killer fritters, friendly staff I just wish you stayed open on Sunday

Very nice man at counter I think owner. Donuts average but apple fritter (my favorite pastry) probably the second best one I have ever eaten. read more

The best donut shop west of the Mississippi. You have to stop by here and get the freshest donuts in town. They have such a large variety of donuts. You have to get off 101 and try these tasty treats read more

The best apple fritter I have ever had. I also had the pork belly breakfast burrito - really good! I highly recommend Big Dog.

Brisket. Breakfast burrito was excellent. Got a plain cake, doughnut, and a plain old-fashioned donut. They were the fluffiest donuts I've ever had. Gal behind counter was friendly and service prompt. Location is an old gas station and they left the old fuel pump out front. When we go all out electric all gas stations should be turned into unique restaurants. read more

excellent hamburgers and donuts a favorite of those in the know about a good place to eat

Yum!!!! Everything was sooooo good! Apple fritters had big pieces of apple! We have went a few times!

Don't let the outside fool you, this place is amazing. The buttermilk donuts are my favorite, and they're not traditional ring donuts but rather bar-like mounds with a delightful texture and a density far more substantial than an ordinary donut. They're inexpensive yet one of the most memorable things I've eaten on the Oregon coast. Get there early - the donuts go quickly! read more

Yum! Breakfast burritos were delish and apple fritter divine!! Definitely a must stop when in Florence!

They make donut cakes--Just call ahead! We didn't know that, so we made our own. The worker told us when my husband picked up the mix and what they were for. All of them were tasty. And I think we tried almost all of them. The buttermilk, old fashion and fritters are always my favorite. And DUDE, the fritter! Heat that baby up and give it a whirl! You'll be glad you did. Plus it's about the size of your face. Easy to share or eat for 2 coffee times. My husband liked the simple cake donuts the best. The shop is an old yellow gas station converted into a small and quick walk in counter room.And be careful while looking for it or you'll miss the spot al together! The donuts are gone super fast so show up early. We went back and grabbed a couple donuts for the road on our at out of town too. read more

EXT. HIGHWAY 101 - MIDDAY We are about to pass through Florence on a road trip and wanted sandwiches, but the only place in town was a Subway and that sounded awful. My parents and I were also craving donuts, and Big Dog's came up on Yelp with great reviews, so we had to go! And the reviews are WARRANTED. The amount of meat you get on a sandwich makes it absolutely worth the price (around $6 a sandwich). INT. BIG DOG - MIDDAY I love that it's repurposed from a gas station, the tables are sparse (two inside, a bench outside) but we were able to grab a table before a whole rush of people came in, picking up donuts, being replaced by others eating donuts. Some of the other reviews say their donuts are the best they've ever had but god when we ate the buttermilk donut I FELL IN LOVE. It's delicious, we bought two more immediately, and the moist donut paired with coffee we had gotten was perfection. If you're ever going through Florence this is absolutely worth the stop!!!!!!! Wonderful staff and delicious food, how can you go wrong! read more

So today was my first visit to Big Dog donut and deli and I'm really glad I finally went. I had a sausage breakfast burrito. I didn't ask what was inside, I wanted to be surprised and boy was I. It was basically biscuits and gravy inside of a breakfast burrito with eggs and cheese AND hash brown! What a crazy good combination!! I also got a Maple bar because well, it's a Maple bar! Those have always been my favorite. I have no complaints. I can't wait to try their new lunch menu! -Also worth noting the staff was really friendly and there's a cozy seating area that I didn't see until I pulled away. read more

The donuts are average. Not great, not bad. The customer service is terrible. snide and rude. I love donuts, but I can't go there anymore. Tired of getting treated like crap. The lady at the counter is always grumpy and barks at people. I've been as nice as I could to her, but I'm just not going to deal with her anymore. read more

Donuts .. burgers.. Burritos.. biscuits and gravy.. All great! Excellent place to munch and grind..

Rating is for the breakfast burrito only and not for the service. A Florence resident recommended this breakfast place to me and I am so glad he did. I got a brisket breakfast burrito and it was fantastic! The breakfast burrito was huge and full of eggs, brisket, potatoes, and gravy. Everything was cooked well and flavor and texture were both on point. They didn't have doughnuts when I got there mid-morning on a random Saturday in October, which was a bummer because I wanted to try the doughnuts too. I guess I'll just have to come back for both a burrito and doughnuts! Fair warning, the service is very minimal here. The gentleman at the counter was helpful, but not overwhelmingly friendly unfortunately. read more

Good selection of huge pastries. I usually get a apple fritter or bear claw. They sell coffee, of course, and breakfast sandwiches, but I normally stick to the pastries. read more

Delicious! Huge serving size for the apple fritter! We will definitely be back! Get in early to get them.

The food is so yummy! We've gotten breakfast burritos, doughnuts, and come back for lunch. You legit can't go wrong. They have the best buttermilk bar I have ever had! read more

Big Dog was a great find. We needed a place that was open early early to get coffee and food for the start of a 1500 mile two day road trip home. We hit the jackpot here!! We don't care about the fancy made just for me with a double shot of half caff espresso and just a pump and 1/4 of whatever artificial gluten free chemical flavor so the self serve coffee was perfect. We ordered an Apple fritter and a couple of ready to go breakfast burritos. In and out in less than 5 minutes. The fritter was sublime! Crunchy where it should be crunchy and soft and tender on the inside. Not greasy. Lots of apples. Awesome. The burritos were grilled/toasted on the outside and absolutely stuffed with eggs and potatoes and bacon/ham/sausage/brisket depending on what you ordered. We had one bacon and one brisket. The eggs were cooked perfectly- soft and fluffy and tender and they had just right proportions of meat to eggs to potato. GOTTA stop if you're in the area!! read more

I was looking at the 1 and 2 star reviews of Big Dog Donuts and they are several years old, so you should just ignore them. Big Dog is the place for high quality donuts in Florence! In addition, Big Dog makes some very tasty breakfast wraps (sausage, eggs, bacon, etc.). I haven't tried their sandwiches yet but I hear they are pretty good. Big Dog also has the BEST biscuits and gravy in town. The "small" order is plenty. If you get a big order of biscuits and gravy, it's enough for two people. Service is great and the people are friendly. They usually run out of donuts by mid-morning, especially during the summer tourist season. You have to get there early to get your donut fix. read more

MAKE THE STOP! Super friendly staff made it a 5 star stop from the beginning. We got the burgers and they did not disappoint! read more

Best donuts in town. Get in earlier as they will run out. Them burrito will fill you right up as well. They are nice people also.

This place is gross and dirty. The floors don't look like they have been swept or mopped in six months. The bathroom was disgusting. The woman who took my order was rude and acted entirely annoyed that we were even there. We went to sit down and none of the tables were even wiped clean. This is my first ever negative Yelp review! I usually give the benefit of the doubt but I just could not believe how dirty this place was. read more

We bought a cinnamon bun which was very large and very good as was the regular donut. I saw on yelp they had apple fritters. We arrived at 10:15 on our drive up to the sea lion caves. They had already sold out of fritters. When my husband entered I told him they must be good and sell out fast. The old guy behind the counter said sarcastically 'fast is relative since they lasted 99% of our day.' read more

One of the things I love when I travel is to find small restaurants, usually a sole proprietorship. Big dog donuts is one of those types of places right here in my backyard. There's sausage breakfast burrito and their brisket egg sandwich are their own creation and delicious. The variety of donuts are always fresh in the community knows it because they scoop them up daily. One of my favorite creations is his Apple fritter! They have just the right amount of Apple mixed in with the dough. Starting my day with one of those in a cup of Joe makes you feel good. Hats off to DIRK and the rest of his team and thank you for getting up early and bringing us all some goodness. read more

Ok, my experience at Big Dog took me about a day to fully process and get this review together. I've been coming to Florence, OR every few months for the past few years to visit family. This location has had a couple of different businesses in there during my time. The past couple of trips I've seen the signs for deli and donuts and have wanted to check it out. Well, this trip was my chance. My wife and I were going to meet her grandfather for lunch and bring out some sandwiches, and we also wanted to drop one off to her brother at work. That meant that we needed 4 sandwiches. We also both ordered a donut while we waited for the sandwiches to be ready. First of all, the old fashioned donuts are awesome! They didn't have any chocolate old fashioneds (my favorite) but they did have old fashioneds with chocolate frosting so that's what I got. These donughts are cakey on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, just like you'd want them to be. The sandwiches took longer than I'd expected to be prepared, but in all fairness they had about 10 sandwiches ahead of us to be made. There is not a huge selection, but they do have something for everyone, including grilled cheese, BLT, and a philly cheese steak. I ordered the rueben and my wife ordered 3 clubs for herself, her grandpa and her brother. Everyone loved the sandwiches. The rueben was grilled on the outside, had plenty of meat on the inside, and they even seem to have grilled the sauerkraut which gave an excellent flavor. The rye bread was grilled not toasted which is always a plus. The club sandwiches were stacked to the sky with turkey, ham, and all the accouterments you'd expect. I guess I should not longer be surprised at the availability of decent sour dough bread outside of California, but somehow I always am. Here's where there was a little surprise: When we went to take the sandwiches out of the bag I found a paper bag inside. I though "surely this must just be mustard packets and the like." Wrong. Inside were 4 oldfashioned doughnuts, 2 chocolate frosted and 2 maple. They just threw them in there for free! This is on top of the macaroni salad and bag of chips that come with each sandwich (and of course pickle spear). I would say that for the money we got a pretty good meal. The reason I had to take a day to process this is because this is the second time on this trip that I've had someone stuffing me with free doughnuts. I'll be writing my review of the Sugar Shack very soon and you'll find out what I mean. I'm not complaining, it's just that in all of my years I've never had this happen once, let alone twice in the same trip. Anyway, I recommend this joint if you're looking for a doughnut in Florence, they may be the only place in town to get one. The doughnuts are also really good! And the sandwiches a great if you're looking for a quick lunch you can take out to the jetty or the beach or whathaveyou. Check them out. read more

Big Dog Donuts & Deli - Donuts in the afternoon - Donuts Near Me - Florence, Oregon

My wife, sister-in-law and niece love this place, and now having tried several of their donuts I do, too. My favorite is what I think is billed as an apple fritter, although to me it's more of honey bun than a traditional apple fritter. The cinnamon buns are very large and very good, too, as are the glazed donuts. Nothing fancy here, just good old-fashioned donuts and other breakfast pastry items. My niece loves what I think are called buttermilk bars. We haven't tried the deli sandwiches at lunch, so can't comment on them, but apparently people like them. One thing to be aware of: Big Dog often sells out of certain items, so come early or order ahead, and not all items are available every day -- for example, one day there were no sugar raised donuts, just glazed. Big Dog opens early, around 5 am, and closes around 3 in the afternoon. read more

Best Apple fritter I've ever had the service was great, inside was clean, food menu also looked really good.
