I ordered take out and can only attest to the quality of the beignets, which I got twice and were super delicious. The sugar was more evenly coated around the beignet compared to Cafe Du Monde. read more

Last time I went the price was jacked way up . And the donuts were were so small. . The receipt had an up charge on 6 diffrent donuts . When I asked about it I was told because some were" cake" . They were all on the same shelves nobody told me they weren't I clouded in a dozen . I guess the expect the public to know what ingredients go in each donut. After this explanation I just order a 1/2dozen . This is what they gave me . read more

Ordered the breakfast croissant, the bread was flat, not crispy or toasted in any way. Poor quality of food

I haven't eaten at Gerald's in a while, so I decided to get some breakfast. I had the ham and cheese croissant with hash browns and my mom had biscuits and gravy with bacon. We both enjoyed our meals and finished it all needless to say, we'll get breakfast from here again. read more

I ordered the chicken bites with onion rings from the Chalmette location, and a few days later, I placed another order. It was perfect; I couldn't find a single fault. The chicken was cooked just right, and the rings were great. The service has always been excellent. Later, while on my way home from Touro, I ordered from Arabi. The experience there was completely different--disappointing in every way. It was a waste of money, and I ended up throwing it away. I won't make that mistake again. read more

Location 2102 E Judge Perez Chalmette, LA 70043 Servant: Katherine G 9/4/25 @8:11PM Very poor customer service. I placed a order for a half dozen 2 glaze, 2 blueberry, 2 powder donuts. The servant got the order wrong. When I got home and realized I called the restaurant and I was told by the servant and the manager Jay that the only resolution was to have me drive back and either get a refund once the donuts were returned orI could have 2 donuts switched out for the glaze. Both options was a huge inconvenience since I live about 10min away. I decided to return them for a refund. Congratulations Gerald's loss a dedicated customer the same as I have loss time and gas coming back. read more

Service is terrible, gave them 2 tries. I went through the drive through and waited a little over 25 minutes to get my 3 item order and it was wrong, when I went back they couldn't help me because no manager was on duty that night. My next try I called to ask a question about an Uber order I placed, I received an attitude and no help in the end; I canceled my order. The food is ok, nothing to go crazy over. read more

This place has been on my list for a while now. We stopped in for a quick breakfast and totally forgot to order a doughnut! We ordered the egg platter that came with eggs, choice of meat, choice of bread and side choice. I went with sausage patty, grits and a biscuit. I just recently found out that my daughter is allergic to egg so they cooked the egg on a shortage pan and placed on a separate plate for me. It's a great spot for a quick meal at a reasonable price. read more

To start with the mini burgers had little to no meat but flavor of everything else was alright. The hot shot was good nice spice, good amount of meat and same toppings as mini burger. The KICKIN CHICKEN was very good chicken was juicy, tender, but still crunchy from the breading. The onion rings were very bready which some people aren't a fan of instead of the typical light, airy breading. The DONUTS are absolutely the star of the show here. Come out fresh, warm ooey gooey best donuts in da parish. Service was amazing quick, very attentive. Ambience is just any typical diner and open 24/7. read more

Food and Ambiance needs a lot of work. Donuts are always good pick ups but I will never choose to sit inside again. The hamburgers were pretty bad. read more

The menu is out dated, and needs a Chef or consultant to improve it. Most of the food is marginal at best. The only things they do that are acceptable are egg dishes, everything else is well below standard. read more

Ordered club sandwich no lettuce tomato. Got to work anf had bacon on toast only for $8.79. When I called I was asked to return. I stated I was at work and couldn't and was told then there was nothing they could do. What? Very sad No customer service. Won't be back and it is on my way everywhere. read more

Excellent customer service and food is always fresh! Mostly use the drive-thru; Gerald's is the best!

Note: This review is from the 2020 pandemic and may not reflect the normal experience. As part of the state's Covid-19 response, I have been temporarily reassigned and put on night shift. This becomes problematic on my nights off as I get hungry around midnight, but pretty much everything is closed. Gerald's to the rescue! After a brief interval, both Gerald's locations have resumed their normal 24-hour schedules. Hooray! On this trip I got their kickin' chicken sandwich. When I called around 8:30 p.m. - at the time, I wasn't sure if both locations were 24-hours or not - they told me there would be about an hour wait. Considering that I wasn't actually hungry yet, that was fine by me. After the hour was up I hopped in my car and drove over. Went through the drive-thru and my food was ready with no issues. From the name to the construction, the sandwich was obviously a response to the infamous Popeye's chicken sandwich. That said, it was a good sandwich. It had sizable pieces of chicken, and a sauce that had a nice balance of sweet and heat. The bread was a bit soggy and the chicken a smidge dry, but I strongly suspect that was a result of the circumstances, which I hardly hold against them. Good food, good sweet treats, and late night hours; I think Gerald's is going to become a go-to for me. #YelpLove read more

Any kind of customer service at this location was basically non exisistant. The waitress never came to our table in the 15 mins we were waiting. We ended up leaving. The place was NOT busy. Geralds, DO BETTER! read more

Two words, come early! Before Covid, you were able to get any kind of donut you wanted no matter what time of day it was. 2pm or 2am, rain or shine, they've got it. Today, you're lucky if they have anything else on their shelves besides glazed donuts. Don't get me wrong, I love their glazed donuts but once you've had their glazed Bavarian Cream donut you DO NOT want anything else. Okay, that (glazed cream) and their hotshots. Do not sleep on their hotshots if you like hot sausage patties! They're normally dressed with mustard and pickles but I'm thinking of adding Cheese to my order next time! read more

Really Fresh doughnuts. I ordered glazed doughnuts holes, regular glazed doughnuts, chocolate iced doughnut, and Bavarian cream chocolate iced doughnut. The service here is quick and very staff were friendly. Also tried the burger and didn't enjoy the texture of the beef. The onion rings were seasoned well. I highly recommend you try all the doughnuts. read more

I walked into Gerald's (chalmette) I ordered the down the road platter no gravy on the biscuits Woman at counter says my chef won't make it if it doesn't have the gravy I asked customers choice right ? She says you know how ppl are in this area No ma'am I have no clue.... I said the gravy goes on last anyway Just don't add it She says I sell you an egg platter and add meat and biscuits I said no Just give me what I ordered but keep the gravy After some back and forth About the money I'm spending I finally had enough and so I said ok I left I drove to Gerald's in arabi Ordered the same thing and was served immediately I also asked if that's standard practice to argue with customers about what not to add to their food... So if you're in St. Bernard parish and want something to eat go to Gerald's unless u want it custom then go to Gerald's in arabi The attitudes are better read more

This place was horrible. The donuts or not consistent. I purchased the donuts twice in one week, they were not the same. I ordered a bear claw that looked like a mini Little Debbie's donut and it was awful. I tasted like fried bread dripped I'm cooking oil. I do nit recommend this place. Furthermore, one of the cooks appeared from the back, sat outside covered in flour, and smoked a cigarette! yuck!! I wish I had taken pictures. It caught me off guard, the little bear claw, the worker outside smoking and the nasty kitchen which could be seen through a window from the dining bar. Their donuts are doughy, dry and tasteless. read more

Bugs on the donuts! Bugs on the donuts! Oh my god I'm disgusted, lady said sorry there's nothing she can do about it, then proceeds to serve the buggy donuts to a couple of children! But c'mon man BUGS ON THE DONUTS! BUGS IN THE DONUT CABINET! DIFFERENT KINDS OF BUGS NOT JUST ONE KIND! read more

It was a good experience. People were nice and they had some good options for lunch and staff was super friendly. Good Dounuts!

HORRIBLE customer service during early morning hours when donuts are "hot". I've been multiple times around the same time and only ONCE was someone pleasant with me. read more

BEST DONUTS IN THE PARISH!!!! I try to go whenever I have time in the morning and I always buy extra for coworkers. Everyone always says it's the freshest donuts they've ever tasted. This is a family business which makes this place sparkle even more. When you walk in you see regulars. It's this place where people make it a part of their routine to go to every week! They are open 24hrs so it's nice when you are hungry in the middle of the night. read more

My husband goes to Gerald's Donuts approximately 5:00a.m. in the morning on average one to two times a month to get 2 Gerald's dozen of the HOT glaze donuts for his coworkers and himself. Every time he goes to Gerald's for donuts he pays $30 for the two dozen, plus a $5 tip for an order total of $35. On the morning of 09/18 he went to pick up his usual order and when he returned home he was disappointed with the donuts he received. The donuts were cold, they weren't freshly cooked like they're supposed to be when Hot Glaze is ordered, they were stale and some were mushed up. We live 3 minutes from Gerald's so it was apparent that he was given the old donuts that were sitting out for a long time and not what he ordered. Unfortunately, he would've been late for work if he went to have them replaced so he called and the lady that answered had terrible phone etiquette. She didn't state her name, all she said was "Gerald's", he explained the situation and she abruptly said "bring them back and we'll replace them". My husband said ok, but she quickly ended the call before he had a chance to ask her name and inform her he would bring them back the next morning 09/19 untouched. On the morning of 09/19 at 5:00a.m. I called the restaurant in an attempt to let them know I was on my way to have my order replaced and the phone, like on many other occasions just rang several times before I hung up the call. I entered the drive thru, handed the lady my receipt, explained everything and i was trying to hand her the untouched order through the window, but she said "hold on", closed the drive thru window and walked to the back with my receipt. A few moments later a man who I assume was a cook in the back approached the window with my receipt and I had to repeat the situation again. He asked me for the name of the person that my husband spoke with and I told him we don't know the name of the person. I was given an attitude from the workers and was treated as if I was trying to get over the restaurant with my request. I had my receipt of purchase, both dozen of donuts 24 total to be exact, it was the next morning and my request was for them to replace the bad quality food we were given for the same exact thing. I was made to feel like it was an inconvenience that they got our order wrong, i felt like he acted as if I was returning a half eaten order, asking for a refund and the food to be replaced. Eventually, he took the order from me, opened the boxes and saw it was all there and closed the drive thru window without saying anything. He returned with two new dozen of Hot Glaze and when he handed me the order he asked for the name of the person my husband spoke with again and I told him I don't know. He then stated that normally we need a name to do anything with the order and I explained that I tried calling this morning, but couldn't get through and he said I know I was waiting on a waitress to come in. He closed the window and our interaction ended without an apology for the wrong order, sorry for the inconvenience or no thank you and have a good day. I was made to feel like I inconvenienced them from having to do their job correctly and how dare I ask for my money's worth of good quality food. Customer service is dead nowadays. I understand some customers have and do take advantage of the "Customer's always right motto" from years ago, but this situation wasn't one of them. I'm very polite, always tip and treat everyone with kindness even though I was wronged in this situation. Needless to say we will no longer spend our hard earned money at Gerald's Donuts and I wouldn't recommend anyone to do so if you want good quality food/customer service. read more

This place just won me and my girls over for sure! The food is diner type food. The doughtnuts is where it's at though!! The service was great and I believe today we met the owners mother who was just a literal gem! She was so nice to us and not being from here told us all kinds of different things about chalmette. It's just a welcoming place to try! read more

Met my friends at Gerald's this Wednesday for breakfast. I ate a cinnamon roll. It was gigantic! Omg! It was soooo good! My friends all enjoyed their choices as well. I asked the waitress if she had any chocolate covered cake donuts because I've gone through the drive thru numerous times and they said they didn't make them anymore. My sweet waitress said she had some cake donuts and would be happy to dip them in chocolate for me. Of course I said yes! Later that night I had one for a snack. Lots of people love Gerald's donuts but don't forget those cinnamon rolls! read more

we come in and we order 50 wings and they was way to salty i don't understand how they can give that to people we had to throw them away this is the last time I will be going here they should really think about they can get someone sick selling food like that read more

Donuts are always soft and fresh, even late into the night. Wish we could always have hot ones, but naturally that's the worms for the early birds in the morning time. Nonetheless, consistently soft and delicious at any hour and there is always a down-to-earth lady who takes our order via the drive thru, calls us "my baby" and reminds us to be safe. I'm sure they have lots of other good menu items but bc we always end up here at night for some reason, we get the most available choice - a dozen glazed - and that always gets us right. So happy to have a 24hr joint further down in the parish. read more

Best hot donuts in the Parish as well as breakfast specials. Lunches are also great. I recommend you try the fresh made onion rings

I brought some clients out to Hopedale Fishing Marina and as I drove back to the city(New Orleans) I was looking for a breakfast place I Googled several and Gerald's popped up just as I was nearing it, so I went in. As I walked in I spoke with a hearty GOOD MORNING, no respond just stares. Anyway I sat down to the counter and spoke with server and ordered my breakfast starting with coffee. I was served coffee in a styrofoam cup with a plastic spoon, ok I was cool with that but as I looked around the restaurant I noticed everyone else we're served with coffee mugs and mostly silverware spoons. My food was served up and again plastic utensils wrapped in plastic as I was eating another order of food was brought out and one server stated, give them silverware. When I asked why did everyone else have coffee mugs and silverware the response was oh all my regulars ask for plastic mind you now this was my first time ever in this place. Yes I am a black man and this occurred in St. Bernard Parish. Not good at all. Still left a tip. Nope won't be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I purchased a few donuts and I was eating my donut while driving and suddenly I saw something inside of the donut. It was what looked to be a public hair. Wish I had only taken a picture. Went back there and told them I wanted my money back. They said the manager wasn't there and that they would take my name and phone number so the manager could give me a refund. A month later and I still have yet to hear from them. Called today, they said "the manager had to look at the cameras that day to see what really happened" I'll tell you what happened! There was a pubic hair in my donut! Terrible customer service. I told them to forget and I'll take the $6 loss since it's so much trouble and they probably will lie and say that I got refunded when I didn't! Whatever. No more Gerald's for me. read more

Best, hot donuts! It's our weekly stop before school on Fridays, and we eat dinner there at least once a week. My kids love the chicken bites, and my husband and I enjoy the Maddi Patty burger.

Excellent donuts and burgers. Richie and staff are wonderful people. We always stop in when we are headed down to our camp in hopedale.

I've been going to Gerald's for a few years now. This morning consisted of 2 glazed donuts on my way to grab coffee. Kept it simple and sweet. The ladies are usually always very pleasant and helpful. Lately in my opinion the donuts seem a little off at times. Like there is possibly a new person in house but, they're still really good and priced to sell! They recently did some renovating and added a nice outdoor seating area. Breakfast with family. Coffee with friends. Cool spot. I've grabbed lunch and dinner myself before so either way you're good to go. By the way they're 24 hours. So if you're ever in the Parish it's definitely worth stopping by. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

I ordered a very simple breakfast from the list of sides. I had egg whites, sausage patty, raisin bread and a dozen donut holes. The breakfast food was delicious and the donut holes were extremely fresh. I ordered through DoorDash and order was delayed getting to me due to weather and traffic. I microwaved the food and it was still just as it should have been. A test that the food was fresh. I will definitely eat from here again. read more
