    OG Vanilla Donut
    Kimberly A.

    I was impressed upon walking in - lots of seating and lots of light. Great for a morning pick me up of coffee and donuts. Their PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE for fall is perfect and warming - not too sweet at all. They had beautifully decorated Halloween donuts - perfect for all your Halloween parties! I had to try their VANILLA OG DONUT. It was perfectly risen with a light vanilla bean glaze on top. You can even see the seeds from the vanilla beans! And last but not least, I finished it all off with a JALAPEÑO KOLACHE - slightly overseasoned with an over baked pastry dough jacket - unfortunately I was not a fan. Service is attentive and courteous! Recommendation for those that don't prefer overly sweet: TRY THE APPLE CIDER DONUTS! Can't wait to take the whole family back for more donuts!

    Hamburger with Cucumber Tomato salad
    Paul C.

    The burger was good. Freshly baked bun was the highlight. I choose cucumber tomato salad as my side. It was pretty bland. For dessert I had a cream filled donut. The cream was scarce and only filled half the donut. But most alarming was this single donut was almost 5 bucks. I probably would not go back.

    Boxed Lunch Grilled Chicken Sandwich with fresh fruit and Sidekicks.
    Paul M.

    At a recent event, we got Hero's catered lunches. They were fantastic! We've had every kind of food catered for this particular kind of event, and this one stood out as different. The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection on a great-tasting bun. Fruit is a great side to compliment the grilled chicken, but the sidekicks stole the show. While it might be on the slightly higher side of the price range for boxed lunches, it was not too high a price for the quality or for a regular lunch price. Almost wish there wasn't a 20-box minimum or I might get it on the regular for other, smaller get-togethers.

    That peaches and cream doughnut was heavenly!
    Val W.

    If you want a great burger and even better doughnuts, check out Hero Doughnuts! They have a peaches and cream doughnut that honestly is the best doughnut I've ever had in my life! I'm so serious!

    Raspberry jam filled (white flour instead of powdered sugar on top) - oops!
    Linh C.

    I've been a fan of the strawberry donut from Hero Doughnuts for years and was so glad to have them open a location on this side of town. My first visit didn't go so well through. Oh, everything was nice - a clean, well decorated store, plenty of workers making more donuts as well as taking orders, plenty of customers salivating over the display of donuts. I purchased the Chef Wil's 1/2 dozen - pistachio, bread pudding, mango cream, and raspberry jam filled. I ate one pistachio donut before leaving the parking lot! It was tasty. At home, my husband tried the raspberry jam filled (filled donuts are his favorite) but said he didn't care for the cake-like dense style. And he didn't finish the donut. So I tasted the donut and noted that something was very wrong! The white powdery substance on top of the donut was not sweet, not powdered sugar, as one would think. Nope, it was plain white flour or baking powder. Awful texture, awful taste, awful experience. I contacted them via Instagram and after an initial response of "oh no, we're sorry" and asking for my contact info so that their management can make it up to me, they haven't followed up with me. I know it was just a simple mistake made on their opening week, and they need to work out the kinks, but this experience - bad donut, bad customer service - really left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm sure I'll try them again but maybe not in the near future.

    Donuts!

    New location, just opened today! Yay! Located in Stadium Trace Village near The Pants Store (behind Aldi). Only got donuts on this visit but they were yummy! We will definitely be coming back to try the burgers. Staff were super friendly. Lots of people working on this day. Wait was short. Go check out this new location!

    Jalapeño sausage and cheese kolache. It was good, but not $6 good.

    Very good food! Kolaches are good, but too expensive for just 1. I like how they out the cheese on the outside of the sausage instead of just a sausage stuffed with cheese. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches with a friend egg. That's the winner

    Blueberry Doughnut
    Lacy W.

    I can't get enough of this place! I don't eat this type of food a whole lot, but this place makes it tough for me. Their doughnuts are fantastic and I love their draft lattes. But my favorite thing, the breakfast buns. Oh. My. Goodness. Their special Cracked Sauce & pepper jam is perfection, especially together, with that sweet & spicy combo. Oh, and they serve breakfast all day, so yes, I've gotten the breakfast sandwich for lunch. All the workers have been very friendly as well. I left a couple of bucks in the tip jar and the girl at the register was so appreciative. My only negative would be their new shakes. I tried the Banana Puddin' shake & it seemed to be just vanilla ice cream with banana flavor instead of real banana. Big no for me. But everything else is so great. I highly recommend Hero.

    Special Request :)

    I love this hero's location because: 1. The staff and management team are friendly kind and accommodating 2. They treat us like family every time we're there and don't seem to ever get exhausted with our request or my endless comments about wanting the salads back. 3. They are thoughtful always...even ask questions about my order when I forget to make my normal substitute request. 4. The partners are open and transparent about menu changes and I appreciate how they listen with care to my complaints yes about the salads. Today, however was special. I stopped by for donuts and breakfast with the family while juggling a work call before the holiday. And when I sat down after my call they surprised me with a special order Kale Caesar Salad. I just am beyond the moon at the thoughtfulness of the management team and partners. I appreciated this more than can be expressed. The longing for the Creamy peppery crunch of the kale Caesar salad was met today and indeed just melted my tastebuds and my heart! Thank you all so much for this!! And I'll be back again in a few weeks when we return from our travels.

We had to flag down and ask our server if we could order because she was busy talking. Our server climbed into the booth and sat down to take our order. I doubt she thought anything about it but we were on our way to an oncologist so we try to stay away from close contact with people. The food was amazing! The biscuits were salty which added a lot of flavor to the overall meal. I think they were excellent. It was like a plate of comfort food. The bathrooms were clean. Overall, it was a good experience. I would recommend the food to anyone.

Bar was nice with 4 large TV's and nice beer and liquor selection. We opted to do the $15 flight. You get 4-1oz pours of select whiskeys.

After being seated in the bar area, we were informed by our server that only appetizers were available. This was both confusing and disappointing, as it does not align with reasonable expectations for a restaurant still open for regular business. If the kitchen is no longer able or willing to prepare full menu items well before closing, that policy should be clearly communicated--either through adjusted hours or by informing guests upon arrival. Otherwise, it creates the impression of inconsistent operations or a lack of coordination between management and staff. Situations like this suggest a need for clearer operational standards, better communication, and stronger staff alignment with customer service expectations. Guests should not feel discouraged from dining simply because they arrive within what should be standard service hours. Overall, the experience reflects an opportunity for improvement in both management practices and customer hospitality.

One place came up, and at first, we weren't sure if it was open, but we walked in and immediately felt good vibes. No TVs, just hip R&B and Funk music, with a beautiful L-shaped bar and friendly bartenders Chloe and Ian. The menu is minimal, offering tapas and small plates, but that's because everything is made in-house and is especially good. We started with a House cocktail, the Pear & Proper, which is magnificent. Then we ordered the Wedge salad, and it was divine. After that, we shared the Red Wine Braised Short Rib, which melts in your mouth--their signature dish.

Beef and potatoes should be served stemming hot. Also the portion of the mashed potatoes could have been a bit more generous. The burger girls were ok with their choice, no frill there. This spot has an extremely limited food menu, so it's not a place I'd frequent but it's definitely worth a future return!
