    We learned of Duck in Charlotte while at The Salty. Duck serves cake donuts deep fried in soybean oil and then added icing/toppings. Fast service and friendly staff. Donuts were warm but a bit messy to eat since the icing dripped everywhere. All donuts are the same price and it doesn't matter what topping or icing. Think this is a regional store and we have only seen them in NC.

    I'd never heard of Duck Donuts before visiting Charlotte, NC, and I'm glad I tried them. All of their donuts begin as a vanilla cake donut, then different icings and toppings are added based on the menu option selected. I ordered 4 donuts which were Twix with chocolate, Twix with caramel, smores, and blueberry pancake. So for the Twix chocolate, they will dip the donut in chocolate icing then top with Twix pieces. I enjoyed the donuts and they have over 20 different combinations on offer. Something to note. If you sign up for their text alerts, you will receive a buy one get one free reward. I tried using this reward at this location, but the staff member first said not every location has this promotion. I then showed her my phone where it shows the reward for this location where she then replied she doesn't have a button on the register to accept this reward so I wasn't able to use it and paid full price. I didn't catch this staff member's name, but she wasn't the most friendly. However, as I went down to pick up my donuts, Mariah, the other staff member who was super friendly, asked if my donuts looked ok. I told her about not being able to use the reward where she shared they don't have a scanner to scan customer's QR code with the reward and she has notified the district manager about this. She then offered to make us 2 free donuts since they don't have a scanner. What great consideration and customer service. Thank you Mariah and I will definitely return for more delicious donuts!

    These donuts are to die for!!! They are made right in front of you. So they are delicious & hot.

    They have breakfast sandwiches on donuts, which were good. But the variety of donut flavors/toppings was the best part, although it was very hard to choose. The donuts were all hot and fresh, total game changer. Would highly recommend grabbing a coffee here and satisfying that sweet tooth of yours!

    This is a brilliant concept. Churn out one base donut and then have a ton (ok maybe 20-30) options for toppings. I don't think I've ever had fresh, hot donuts but this was a game changer. Like seriously. These little ringed beauties were so freakin delicious. My friend and I had the combo with a coffee and 2 donuts. My waistline was happy with 2 but I could have mentally had maybe 4-5 more. Sooooo good The maple bacon was sweet and salty and savory and the s'mores donut was perfect warm. I do wish the donut itself had a little bit more density to it - they gave a little too quickly, so eat these over a napkin or a box. Spacious interior but only 2-3 tables to stand and nibble. You can watch your donuts being made on the donut robot - pretty neat. Great service, friendly staff, great recommendations. So many donuts so little time. Great stop.

    Although I've heard of Duck Donuts, I wasn't aware that this was a chain. To our surprise, they make each donut fresh; you can see them put the dough in the oil, as well as glaze and decorate each order. Although I wouldn't consider these fancy, artisanal donuts, their warm, fresh donuts are delicious. I ordered their coffee and two donut combo; they didn't charge me for upgrading to an iced coffee. The combo came with a large coffee and your choice of two donuts -- I chose the Bacon in the Sun and the Beach. My order came out to under $5. As for the service, the workers were very patient with my party; there was five of us looking through the donut selection because we were new customers. The wait was very short, and the workers gladly helped us when we needed more cream, sugar, etc.

    Cinnamon sugar and Blueberry Glaze
    Charlei T.

    Never have I ever had a donut made to order just for moi, until I found this place! O M G!!! Every doughnut is made fresh to order starting with a fried vanilla doughnut as the base, which can be enjoyed in all it's pure deliciousness or upgraded with toppings like cinnamon sugar, chocolate frosting, sprinkles, maple and bacon. If you can think of it, they probably have it. I ordered 3 doughnuts, Blueberry, chocolate frosting and cinnamon sugar. Hot dang, first bite love. Second bite I thought, why did I only order 3? Anyway this place is a must try. Located in a shopping complex, parking is ample. Doughnuts are $2.67 if I remember correctly, worth every $. You have to try this place!

    Peach seasonal donut with vanilla icing and caramel drizzle

    Awesome experience!! WARM, FRESH donuts. Unique flavors that are seasonal. The peach is amazing!! Brett, the owner, was super attentive and truly cares about the customer experience. Could not recommend this place more! Stop in and get a sweat treat, breakfast sandwich, or coffee! I may or may not have got all 3.

    Their donuts are more like cake donuts, not yeast. Softer than yeast donuts. You can customize your own donuts, start with the plain donuts and choose your own topping and icing. They came out super fresh after your order them, I'd recommend to let them cool down a bit before you eat them or they fall apart too easily. A very generous amount of the icing, every flavor I tried was delicious but flavor they really stood out were maple bacon, blueberry pancake, peanut butter and lemon. The icing make them very sweet , too sweet for my liking. Next time I'd try with not icing since I feel like the donut itself would be just as delicious. The workers were very sweet towards us.

    Solid choice if you're looking for a standard cake donut with lots of different flavor options. We opted for the Cinnamon Bun and it was good. They start with a base and then add toppings based on your choice, so service was decently fast. I'd say customer service was average. Also got a cappuccino which was decent, they do have an espresso machine.

The signature gravy was heavenly! We scooped it up with our forks when we ran out of biscuit. The coffee is excellent and we all enjoyed the fresh squeezed juice.

I found Chestnut on Yelp and decided to wander in. The space has this elevated modern rustic vibe with a southern twist and a little bit of sass. They even sell shirts that say neither hoity nor toity, which cracked me up. Honestly, the atmosphere was great, but our waitress was the real star. She was absolutely phenomenal and looked after us perfectly. My palate was pretty fried, so I started with a Bloody Mary to wake up. Truth be told, it was just okay. The house mix had an odd flavor that nobody at the table could quite identify, and it seriously lacked spice. It was just kinda bland. I noticed a bottle of Firewalker hot sauce on the table, and splashing that in helped a little bit. After that, I transitioned to a mimosa. You really cannot mess up a mimosa too much, and it was a solid, reliable second drink. For the main event, I ordered the southern chicken and waffles. This came with a fried chicken breast sitting on golden malted waffles, smothered in sausage gravy, and drizzled with chipotle honey. It was a really great dish. The kitchen did a solid job with the fry on the chicken, and the gravy had a nice flavor. It leaned a little on the sweet side because of the honey, but it was not totally overdone. The real sleeper hit of the morning, though, was the side of cheesy grits. Those grits were absolute heaven. They were incredibly creamy and perfectly seasoned. If you go, you have to order them. Chestnut is in a great location, and despite the weak Bloody Mary, it was a stellar visit.
