We've only been able to stop here twice. Each time was for a good old fashioned Mom & Pop type doughnut. The doughnuts are delicious, fresh and are a better price than the "chain" shops. Sorry for no photo. Doughnuts do not last long around me ! Good doughnuts and a good hot dog joint are my kryptonite! I'll get a picture next time.... well, maybe :-) read more

Been trying to get here for awhile. Limited hours, not really on my usual routes, and then today serious construction on Kenny. But we made it, just before closing. Standard old-school donut shop, plus some hot breakfast items. All the baked goods looked great, but about half the case was empty since it was so late (as usual with good bakeries.) We got four donuts and a cherry turnover. All looked good, and all tasted good. Perfectly baked and filled or topped or whatever. Sweet but not overly so. Good, fast service. They had a steady stream of dine-in and carryout customers. Get here. Check the hours ahead. Careful with the current construction. Right across from Staples and the Japanese plaza, so a nice combined trip. read more

This place is jamming! Crew works hard to get everyone seated and served, but they need to learn to have some fun while they do it. Donut selection is pretty good, with apple fritters, eclairs and run of the mill options available. On this trip I just got a dozen to go, but I've had breakfast here before as well which was very good. Owner is always working, either in the kitchen or making sure the tables are being bussed so they can bring more kerching in the door. There was some kind of controversy over shouting down, but I don't know what that was all about and based on the crowd this Sunday morning, they are printing money in this place! read more

My friend & I came early on a Sat. morning to beat the crowd. We were seated at a table and served coffee. We really enjoyed our traditional breakfasts of eggs, potatoes (hash browns for me and home fries for her), turkey sausage and toast. They have rye bread (love). We took home donuts and they were the best. It did get busy before we left. This place is a hit. read more

Tiny little diner/doughnut shop with a strong following. The crew there knew the names of many of the customers. I'm guessing the customer service and the damn good diner food keeps them coming back. I had the corned beef hash, scrambled eggs, and whole wheat buttered toast that was perfectly prepared and tasted great. And yes, while settling up my bill, I ordered some doughnuts to take home! One of those doughnuts, and Apple Fritter, was one of the best Apple Fritters I have ever had. Somehow they got a good amount of the apples to stay in the dough and went just a little heavy on the cinnamon making me regret not buying more. Please give this business a try and take home some doughnuts to extend the enjoyment! read more

Always my go-to donut pickup. My hubs loves their maple eclair. They seem to very popular. However, my family loves all of the variety! Sprinkle, chocolate cake, apple fritter- you name it!!! read more

I've seen this place for years and finally took the opportunity to stop in for some midday donuts. Nicely done, Honey Dip! There's just something about the way the dough was fried that reminded me of the donuts I got as a kid which is a very good thing. The icing and fillings were adequate complements, but the dough was the star. The place is actually more of a diner than a standalone donut shop, and I wouldn't object to returning for breakfast or lunch if the opportunity presented itself. read more

The service was great my waitress was very knowledgeable of the variety of doughnuts. I bought a dozen doughnuts that I had her choose from so she gave me all of her favorites both regular and Fancy doughnuts. Let me tell you that her choices pleased even my son that is a picky doughnut eater he only likes sprinkle doughnuts, so I had him try an eclair and the smile on this kids face was PRICELESS!! The ambiance of this place is very homey and just all around good vibes. The breakfast is great as well I had the Two eggs with a choice of sausage, ham,bacon or Turkey sausage. With home fries and toast. I am very picky When it comes to home fries and I don't know what kind of seasoning was used but it was so delicious. I definitely recommend this small cozy diner to everyone!! This place does get packed so try to arrive as early as possible. This place will not disappoint. read more

Honey Dip Donuts - Yummy eclair! - Donuts Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I finally picked up donuts here after having driven past it for years. I had high hopes because it always looks busy. The chocolate covered donut I tried was extremely dry. I actually didn't finish it, which is saying something. I also tried a few bites of an omelette and that tasted great. It's a big omelette and they are pretty generous with the veggies. The breakfast potatoes looked very undercooked. Service was efficient but not friendly. Not a place that I would likely come back to, but if I did I would skip the donuts and get an omelette. read more

Tryed the biscuits and gravy. Was pretty good. Food was ready fast. Service is great.

A cute little dinette where you can get all your breakfast faves! It's very busy on a Saturday morning here and customers are packed in the small dining room and bar area seating. Service was sweet and fast which was good could I was hungry! I didn't get their signature donut offerings but I got their pancake which hit the spot. The have a Soup du Jour that I brought home with me that was very good the next day. If you're looking for a diner experience for a fast and easy breakfast, try the HDD! read more

Honey Dip is the perfect little diner experience! We stopped in on a very busy Sunday morning and the place was packed with people ordering donuts and dining in. We were seated fairly quickly and our server was super friendly and came over right away. The food is all your typical diner comfort foods. I did a build your own omelette and it was tasty! My partner also liked his breakfast burrito. Only negative is that I didn't love the home fries, but overall a great experience! read more

Honey Dip Donuts - Patty melt and fries - Donuts Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

My son and I walked in this morning and saw 2 open counter seats. I asked a server if we could sit there. She said yes, if they're open, you can seat yourself. For 20 minutes, no one made eye contact, let alone gave us menus or asked if we wanted to order. At about the 20th minute, a gentleman came in and sat at the counter who appeared to be a regular. The server immediately took his drink and food order, all while not even acknowledging us. We decided to leave at that point. If your establishment only caters to regulars or those who know the secret code, you're likely to fail. Won't be back despite the fact this was my uncle's favorite breakfast place. read more

This has been on my list for a while now and boy am I glad I finally went in for breakfast! Definitely a great, old school diner with amazing, no frills breakfast! I've been twice now and have not been disappointed by anything I've gotten. Walking in you definitely feel a bit transported in time, but not in a bad way. Employees have all been very nice and attentive and willing to share opinions on food. The biscuits and gravy + 2 eggs was so amazing. Again, no frills, nothing fancy just an amazingly well done, hearty breakfast. 10000% recommend to anyone. The biscuits were super fluffy and moist and the gravy was just a perfect accompanyment. The breakfast burrito with chili was also just amazing. I love chili on just about anything and it was great on the burrito. Does it need the chili? Absolutely not, the burrito stood well on its own. Super flavorful sausage and perfectly done hashbrowns and eggs. For anyone looking for a homey, no frills breakfast, definitely give honey dip a try. There's no fancy gimmick or draw, just great, cheap food! read more

Just delightful! Upon entering on a Wednesday morning, it was clear that this place is a huge hit with locals. Nearly all the tables were full of what appeared to be retirees. You can't help but enjoy the old school vibes, with a counter up front proudly displaying donuts on the back wall, as we as options like Long Johns and Cinnamon rolls on the bottom case. We dined in and took a seat on the right hand side of the dining room. Classic photographs filled the wall in addition to a flat screen TV playing ESPN. I opted to sit facing the other way to minimize distraction :) There were two servers managing the front of the house while the cooks were busy at work in the kitchen. Everything on the breakfast menu was reasonably priced below $10. They offer all the fare you know, love, and expect such as eggs, toast, pancakes, omelette, etc. in addition to specials like a donut sandwich. After deliberating over what to order, I opted for the Eggs Benedict while my sister chose the Corned Beef Hash. Our items came out swiftly and were simply delicious. The hollandaise sauce atop the Canadian bacon and English muffin was unexpectedly outstanding. Rich, and flavorful, it was the perfect topper to the savory meat and airy muffin. My sister's hash was delicious too - very delicious and satisfying. We took home a half-dozen box of assorted donuts as well. They were tasty, though the hot breakfast was even better in my opinion. Friendly service throughout. Worth swinging by when you're in the area! Upon departing, we noticed a sign touting the quality of their omelettes and pancakes...We know what we're trying next time! read more

A classic diner. Honey Dip Donuts is a longtime favorite. If you don't want doughnuts there's also real food. Basic things like sandwiches to eat. The doughnuts however are the main thing. Be sure to get there early. It closes early. They're open for breakfast and lunch. After that they go home. Most people come for the doughnuts so it's busiest in the morning. It also has a small lunch menu if you're dining in. The lunch food is pretty average but it's cheap though. I came in to pick up doughnuts for a meeting. Looking at the menu, I thought why not get something to eat too. It was no problem. They could wait. I ordered a Vegetable Sandwich. It's about $6.50 and comes with chips on the side. This comes with some kind of tzatziki sauce, but skip that nasty shit and get some Italian dressing because it's healthier and it goes well. Of course most people come for the doughnuts. They have the typical assorted flavors. Interesting place to check out and it feels homey. It's as if this is a place time forgot with the outdated exterior and interior. They have more than doughnuts so check it out. read more

Enjoyed donuts a friend got from Honey Dip! I had part of a maple long john and part of a red velvet donut. Both were tasty. The long John was light and the flavor was not overpowering- the vanilla cream was on the light side which I was ok with but might be light for others. The red velvet was also tasty and definitely a denser cake like donut. Overall, they were good and worth checking out again! read more

My co-worker and I went to Honey Dip Donuts to pick up donuts. Some or many of the staff were unfriendly at times, but did a great job in getting the donuts we wanted to take to the office. I had another co-worker who encountered the staff when she lived in Upper Arlington. The staff wants you out quickly after getting served. The diner atmosphere part was little bigger than expected, but may try their breakfast sometime but the some or many of the unfriendly staff could work on customer service in being more friendly and caring. My co-worker and I gave Honey Dip Donuts a shot and the donuts were good, but will go to another doughnut shop in Columbus that the staff is much more friendlier. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Honey dip donuts does not seem to like African American people. Myself, my three year old son and my husband walked into the diner and asked if we seated ourselves as it was our first time there. The waitress we asked did not even acknowledge us or respond. We sat at a table for over 10 minutes waiting to be served and no one came. We finally got up and got into our car. We sat for a second and watched a white couple sit at the exact same table we sat at and were acknowledged within 2 minutes of sitting down. It's 2025 and you wouldn't think this was an issue. We were very disappointed and uncomfortable and won't be returning. read more

Had an omelet- all are build your own- which ended up at over ten bucks with 3 eggs, bell peppers, onions, and feta and they forgot the mushrooms and barely added any peppers or onions. It was really really bad. The eggs didn't taste right and the potatoes I couldn't even eat because they were cold large soggy starchy mushy chunks. Really nasty. The only good thing were the two slices of wheat toast cut into four triangles and properly buttered. Those were soggy too but at least warm. The one donut I had (selection was slim at 11am on a Saturday) was a sour cream cake and it was not dry but not remarkable in any way either. Very lackluster disappointing experience. The other patrons were all elderly and appeared to be regulars so that is probably how this place makes it. Meh. Update: went at 740 and got three cake donuts. They all three have a nice bit of outside crisp and nice glaze but you bite in and get dry cake immediately. These donuts require a beverage so you don't choke which is bad. read more

Welp, since we were close and it'd been 14 years since our last visit, we thought we'd give it a try. Oy. We each got a long john and OMG, the smells of everything cooking around it absorbed into the donuts. Literally as I'm finished, we both feel like we just had bacon and eggs with a donut chaser. That's nowhere near as good as it sounds and we're desperately looking for a place to offload the equally stinky box they came in. read more

Columbus loves donuts. Donut trucks, mini donuts, fresh fried donuts, MYO donuts, and seasonal bougie donuts , we love them all. But if you're looking for a place to get a good old regular donut, try Honey Dip. They have a variety of filled options like jelly, chocolate cream, and lemon, sprinkles, glazed, and amazing Long Johns. I've never had one I didn't like from here. I'd also recommend the breakfast if you've got time. Diner fare heavy on eggs and fried potatoes. Swoon! I love a good diner. And make sure to check out the decor. They have hundreds of pictures of regular people and classic celebs eating donuts. Just make sure to save room for a donut. read more

Well... I was very excited to try this place. I had a BLT on a donut and it was AMAZING. However my husband got a burger and it was absolutely disgusting! It's tasted like very cheap processed frozen meat. I have never had that experience at any Diner. Turns out "from the waitresses mouth" the owner buys the cheapest frozen patties at Sam's Club. It tasted like a gas station hamburger but cost $14-never again read more

Honey Dip is iconic. They are just quietly churning out fresh homemade donuts on the daily, and I'm sure nothing has changed in 50 years. If you are sick of the "innovative" dry little cake donuts with candy bars on top, you've come to the right place. They haven't even bowed to the buckeye pressure, so you'll find no peanut butter donuts here either. What you will find --- the best apple fritters, long johns, dutch crumb, toasted coconut, blueberry, vanilla creme, and those are just my favorites. All the classic donut staples. And don't forget it's a diner --- they offer inexpensive breakfast and lunch all day as well (close Mondays). read more

The number of times I had driven by thinking that Honey Dip Donuts was simply a donut shop is huge. I like donuts, don't get me wrong, but I'm not a fan of honey. The name of the place made me think that it was just a donut shop that specialized in honey-dipped donuts. So I never went in. One day, my wife asked about it and suggested we stop by sometime. She likes donuts and honey, so it didn't seem out of the ordinary to me that she would want to try it. We went in one Saturday morning, and, much to my surprise, I saw that it was a diner. Not just a donut shop...a real diner with a real diner menu. We took a table in the back corner where we could see the entire place and look at most of the cool photos and documents they have hanging on the wall -- everything having to do with donuts. I ordered a normal breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, potatoes, coffee, and my wife had coffee, an omelet, and an English muffin. The food tasted just as I expected: it had that deliciousness that only a diner can serve up. When I finished, I was stuffed. But seeing how much donut business they had going on, we decided to take a couple for later. I ordered a coffee cake donut, and my wife had a buttermilk donut. They went wonderfully with afternoon coffee. I was very happy to see that their donuts were not all dipped in honey. They had such a wide variety of donuts that it was hard to choose which to take. Meaning that I'll have to go back again...and again...Even more, they were bringing donuts from the back kitchen area, which implied to me that they were making them fresh, unlike so many other donut shops that get them shipped in from somewhere else. Will I go back. In case you haven't figured it out from the previous paragraph, yes I will. It's nice to know that it's a diner, and it's nice to know that I can pop in to get a donut and coffee if I feel the urge. I don't know what normal weekday business is like. On the Saturday that we popped in, they had a steady flow of traffic -- some people buying boxes of donuts to go, and others staying for breakfast. There didn't seem to be a problem with seating since orders were taken pretty quickly and served pretty quickly, and people were not just sitting around taking up space. So, if you haven't been, go and check them out. You might just run into me there when you do! read more

First time here! Place was a Jolly Pirate Donut Shop years ago in the 70's and 8 years ago added sit down table service. Waitstaff was friendly and efficient. Menu has variety of sandwiches and lots of breakfast items to choose from. I ordered the beer brat with grilled onions and green peppers. It came with potato chips. Sandwich was tasty and just the right size. Hubby ordered corn beef hash with two fried eggs and English muffin. He really enjoyed his meal as well. Delicious food at reasonable price! read more

I love breakfast sandwiches and Honey Dip has one of my favorites in Columbus! I'm talking about the Donut Breakfast Sandwich. They take 2 of their honey dipped donuts and put a fried egg, slice of American cheese, and crispy bacon in between--it's so freaking good! Make sure to get there early or call ahead because they do run out and when that happens, it is VERY SAD. All of their donuts are super tasty (no surprise there) so make sure to grab a few to try as well! read more

Love this place. Food is great and the people are friendly and attentive. I go back whenever I'm in town.

Honey Dip is hands down my family's favorite donuts in Columbus. We like to eat donuts for Sunday breakfast. However, as an aspiring foodie, I can't accept eating from the same place every single time. So we compromise by eating Honey Dip Donuts 50% of the time and trying different donut places for the other 50% of the time. My personal favorite is their classic powdered cake donuts, but all their other donuts that I've tried have been great too. Their great service with quick pickups have been very nice during the pandemic. I know they serve diner food for breakfast and lunch too... so I'd like to try their other foods too someday once the pandemic winds down. Earlier this year I read an article on Columbus Navigator called "The Best Donuts In Columbus"... but that article didn't have Honey Dip listed. So in my mind that article is completely invalid. (plus they didn't mention Der Dutchman, DK Diner, or Lil Donut Factory and misspelled Tremont Goodie Shop as Treemont!) So yeah, ignore the other articles and go give Honey Dip a try. Seriously. read more

(Side note: wish I had photos of the donuts but I was hungry. Lesson learned!) I've been to Honey Dip only one time and it was a couple of years ago on a bakery tour with my brother. So a couple of days ago I got an urge for donuts and wanted something that was local so I tried Honey Dip again. It's unfortunate that they only serve food until 2:30, but I get it with them being a small business and all. I got a large chocolate milk and four donuts. The donuts were flaky on the outside but kind of dry on the inside. I did love the pumpkin and jelly though. Other than those two I did not get a lot of flavor, but maybe it's because I visited in the afternoon closer to close. I'll give em another shot later but I wasn't really impressed. Overall it was okay and I thought the prices of the donuts was fair ($6 for half a dozen donuts) compared to what some have said. It's a nice little diner with its locals and regulars, so don't expect anything flashy. read more

Trying to find new places to get donuts for morning work meetings, Honey Dip was nearby. An interesting little diner that had the feel that it gets many regulars in each day. I got a dozen donuts. They were on the small side. Not really meant to be small, but not what one would typically see as a regular sized shape. I tried a chocolate filled powdered sugar donut. The donut itself was alright, it did not have very much filling in it. I got to the last two bites before I even got the to the chocolate filling. Overall even though they are not bad, I will be choosing another donut place to get work meeting pastries. My staff had left most of the box untouched even several days after. read more
