    We were driving on the local highway and stop near by the gas station to spot this donut store next to it. We decided to explore the store and take a break. Our decision did not disappoint us. The clerk is very friendly to show us the fresh donut they have. They have cronut. I got the pumpkin cronut is delicious. Among the donut we also got cake donuts, special donuts off from menu. All of them are delicious. Price is reasonable. I hope they open in Tampa. But that not going to happen. We enjoy that while we are here. They also have boba drinks that you can select. Overall they are very good. Best donut in the area. Love the fresh donut.

    Okay... doughnuts are important. They are necessary for survival! But when you're traveling around the country you can't ALWAYS find the very best of everything - unless, maybe, you're just lucky - like we were!! OMG! Fireworks!! Stars!! Trumpets sounding!! - How much do we offer them to travel around with us?? Does everyone HAVE a price?? Anyway, while in Knoxville... WE are only eating doughnuts here - we've tried ALL the rest, and we've settled on the very BEST!! - - of course! Their doughnuts are light and fresh with NO oily aftertaste!! The owners are amazing - doughnuts!! it's what they do!! The son makes the best mocha coffee in the world, too... if you're interested! Ya gotta get there early, though, if you want things like Bear Claws - doughnuts fly out of that place as if they have wings! You can special order, too! You'd never know, by looking at the small shop attached to a filling station, that heaven was waiting for you just a few steps aways - - - sigh.

    In six words: I'm In Love With This Place. If those 6 words aren't enough, I'll elaborate: These donuts are buckin' good! A friend introduced me to this place several months ago and I've been here now probably 10 times, usually around 9-10am. If they were open after 5pm it would probably be my favorite dinner spot and my doctor would curse me. But all in moderation, I try to pop in a few times a month, jump-start my blood sugar and feel good about supporting a local owner-operated business. THE STAFF: For a seemingly small little operation, I see a lot of different helpful smiling face's behind the counter. They all seem to take pride in their work and that adds to my love of stopping in. The owners are definitely the lifeblood of the success here. THE DONUTS: Great variety and I'm slowly working my way through the inventory. I love the sausage roll (both spicy and regular). On the sweeter side, my favorite is probably the apple fritter (cherry is also great). The cinnamon roll is delicious, as are the cream-filled powdered donuts you ask for, which are made to order (you can choose white or yellow cream). These fried, stuffed and powdered dough puffs of goodness are likely to make a mess all over you, so wear the right clothing if you're munching while driving. I may or may not be speaking from experience. Hmmm... Yesterday, I tried the glazed red velvet donut. So good. There was also blueberry but red velvet screamed my name the loudest. I've tried the glazed twist, glazed croissant (Omg yes, the glazed croissant... I just wish it were bigger ). The egg & cheese breakfast croissant was also good. Next time I'm gonna try the Long John. There will be many next times. Many. THE COFFEE: Well... I haven't tried the coffee. It is definitely not a featured item here because it wasn't until yesterday that I first saw a little 4-inch square sign on the counter next to a tiny bell that reads "ring me for coffee". I do love my coffee, almost all day, so I'll investigate this sneaky offering later. I suppose any coffee with a buckin' good donut is good coffee, but I'll let you know if it teeters into 'great' territory. THE CONCLUSION: I love Buckin' Good Donuts and I think you will too. Until next time...

    This place makes the best doughnuts. Don't let the location fool you inside a gas station. The lightest doughnuts I've had in years.

Tennessee Haystack was good, although it came out incorrect the first time.... chicken and waffles mediocre at best. Small chicken tenders similar to something that you'd get at a convenience store. Isn't this considered to be part of the South? Trying to get our check became a struggle. Waitress disappeared. Young man at the cash register was able to figure it out finally and we were able to pay. Biggest issue, noise. If you are even slightly bothered by loud noise, DO NOT sit inside. What amplifies the issue, is multiple families would line up to pay. Not only increasing the noise by us, it caused for congestion in the area by the kitchen for the servers.

And then I looked again, hoping that maybe something low-calorie or nutrient-dense was hiding and I just needed to look harder. Nope. But if you're looking for a sandwich that consists of chicken tenders between two glazed donuts, then this is your place. Sawyer's has other things that are not so county-fair forward. They are known for breakfast: French toast, pancakes, omelettes. If you get pancakes or waffles or the like, you should definitely ask for their house-made peanut butter syrup. It's amazing and so unlike anything that I've ever tasted. I got an omelette, which was good and had a lot of stuff in it. They will give you hot sauce upon request, which I was grateful for because I thought the omelette needed it. One thing that's really cool about Sawyer's is that they seem to take food allergies very seriously. That's always nice to see! As you're entering or exiting, make sure to admire the decor. It looks like you're in a barn, and as you exit, there's a gift shop with stuffed animals, t-shirts and other things to commemorate your visit to Sawyer's. This is a fun little place that's great for families, for sure.

The place had 2 customers silently sitting and maybe working on their computers but the whole place felt sterile and lifeless. I wasn't greeted and stood at the counter for a few minutes while the lone employee arranged items until I finally asked if I could order. I wanted to sample a variety- so I got an apple fritter, a snickerdoodle donut, a buttermilk old fashioned, and a blueberry Pączki. The apple fritter was the best of those 4. The snickerdoodle was just a traditional cinnamon sugar donut. The base was a bit dry yet also tasted oily. The buttermilk old fashioned had a similar greasy flavor and not the tang I'd expect from this type of donut. The Pączki was just a minimally filled jelly donut...and the dough was very greasy. Normally, the dough is more bready and has a more rich flavor. The ones I've always eaten in the past are heavily filled. This place seems like it has potential but it just lacks the quality or personality I'm looking for in a local gem. Nothing was awful but nothing was great either.
