Enjoyed the old timey outfits of the servers and the pirate box the donuts come in. Lots of cake and yeast donut options. Love the counter you can sit at to order coffee and a donut. Pro tip: pop a donut in the microwave for 20 seconds and they are warm and delicious even the next day. read more

Great old school classic donut shop. The donuts are perfectly cooked and they have your classic variety of flavors. The coffee is meh but I don't go there for the coffee. Plus the waitresses still wear the old pink apron donut shop outfits! read more

Jolly Pirate Donuts - Old school pirate donut box. - Donuts Near Me - Reynoldsburg, Ohio

This place is nothing short of nostalgia for me. There was a Jolly Pirates donuts in my home town as a kid. I moved away for school and found this one in Cbus. Equally as good with my favorite donut of all time: the Blossum Buttermilk. The trick is to ask them to put white icing on it. It takes it to a "whole-nother-level"! Not to mention the old donut shop feel inside is pretty awesome too! read more

Jolly Pirate Donuts - Buttermilk Blossums (custom made with white icing on top-you have to ask for it). 6 bumpy looking ones! Awesome!!! - Donuts Near Me - Reynoldsburg, Ohio

Someone used to bring in these donuts at my old job. My first time buying these myself. I miss the taste. Considerably better than national chain brands. It was like an old fashioned diner in there and I can see myself at the counter sipping on coffee. Friendly service. It looks like there is also a drive-through here. read more

So so good! I'm from NY and I've only had Dunkin Donuts. Oh my gosh I tried the blossom buttermilk donut and it was WONDERFUL!! I will be back!! And great customer service too! read more

Delicious, fresh donuts. They were light, not heavy or gummy like some donuts. Will definitely return if in the area. Bakery was nice, bright and clean. I took off one star because I believe I got ripped off. I did not look at the price board when I ordered because I only ordered three items: French cruller, cinnamon roll donut, and a twist donut. My bill was $5 and some change. Now, as I am looking at prices on the website ($0.99 for cruller, and $1.45 for fancy donuts), my bill should have been under $4. Maybe the prices on website are not current prices; or maybe they charge tax for carryout; or maybe an automatic tip was included. But either way, I will pay more attention next time when ordering. read more

The older ladies were very helpful when picking out donuts and they were also good. I would definitely come back! Thank you guys!

I love their donuts and Coffee. My favorite is the buttermilk, but you can't go wrong here. Even a plain cake is delicioso. This is my favorite donut shop in town. I grieved when the one on Morse Road closed. I wish I lived closer but I'd gain lots of weight. Do the only point of improvement for JPD is to open one near my home off N. Hamilton Rd. read more

It was worth going to Reynoldsburg to go Jolly Pirate Donuts. The lady behind the counter was very nice and sweet along with doing a great job in getting my friend and I the right amount of donuts and excellent service. The staff was very friendly. The Bakers Dozen is 13 with buying 12 and getting one for Free. I will be going to the Jolly Pirate Donuts in Reynoldsburg again for a Donut Day at the office. Great ambiance inside Jolly Pirate Donuts. read more

I tried this place last weekend and I will be going back. The apple fritters are lite, airy and absolutely melt in your mouth. This place looks like a typical old school donut shop when you walk in and I'm here for it. The young lady that helped us was delightful. I can't wait to try more donuts. read more

You have to get the basic cake donut. It's a must and the best thing on the menu. The staff is awesome and this place is always busy.

Long time staple in Reynoldsburg. Donuts are good. I've had better but they are close to my house so it's good.

We stopped yesterday for a donut and tried Jolly Pirates new pumpkin donut. These are very good. The pumpkin is blended with pumpkin spices and is spot on. There is a hint of clove that is not too strong along with cinnamon and nutmeg. It is in a cake donut that is sugar glazed but not too sweet making this a great tasting donut. Naturally I had to take a bite to write the review. read more

The donuts tasted horrible & not fresh. This used to be a great place for donuts. Somewhere along the way they lost their appeal & they are very expensive. read more

Loved this place for a long time. Seems as if it's not as well organized as it once was. Selection is sometimes wanting depending on luck.

Came in to grab some donuts, and the staff was nice, service was fast. The donuts were fresh. I know jolly pirate have been around a long time, and they were pretty good. The donut shop was clean. I felt like I was stepping back in time when I walked in. But overall good and fresh! read more

These are my childhood. Mom and I got these all the time. These are the long johns (bismarks) which I compare all others across the country. We don't live close and have to drive across town to get them. Given my 40+ years experience, I know how big they should be and just how much of my small plate they should take up. We ordered long johns and essentially got eclairs, heck the sweet version of a breadstick. The picture doesn't quite do it justice as to how small these are so I've illustrated just how much smaller. This breaks my heart because this was one of the last connections to my mom and if they get any smaller it's going to be a Timbit. read more

Jolly Pirate Donuts - Half the size now - Donuts Near Me - Reynoldsburg, Ohio

Should be the Only doughnut shop. Need to quit skimping on the fillings. Every Sunday I get jelly or custard filled with not much read more

We were almost right next door, and it's been forever since I was at a Jolly Pirate, so we swung by. Drive-through? Yep, score, since I didn't want to get Baby K out of the carseat. Got a half dozen, and they had everything we wanted, even late in the day. And they tasted fresh, not like they'd been sitting since morning. Sprinkles on a cake one and a jelly-filled one for here; blueberry and a cake for Sweetie; Boston cream and buttermilk (close enough to sour cream) for me. Smallish. Fresh. Tasty. Cheap. Good service (did not expect to talk about cars, but that was fun.) Easy access. Wish they were closer; seems like there used to be more locations, but now they are both out on the edges of town. read more

Love this place always fresh glazed donuts. The one lady is such a delight . Always has a smile on her face and so pleasant. read more

Good donuts for a good price! Donuts are always fresh when I come here. They can be busy on weekends but service is pretty quick.

Delicious tasting donuts, and friendly customer service. Clean and quiet atmosphere. Blah Blah

So I don't eat here but my sister paid me to come and buy 12 bow ties and when you buy 12 u get 2 doughnuts free. For $17!!! the donuts looked good I didn't have one unfortunately as I'm trying to loose weight. But the young lady was fast and was knowledgeable. I guess this place is wonderful because she begged me and paid me to come get her some of their donuts lol SO I GUESS THERE WORTH THE DRIVE! COME GET U SOME FRESH DONUTS!!!! read more

Jolly Pirate Donuts - Yeah boi!!! - Donuts Near Me - Reynoldsburg, Ohio

The donuts were good but the apple fritter was the best I've ever head ( thanks Cristy, you called it). The place is one of those old school donut shops, so it had that charm going for it. Amazingly cheap, so well worth it. read more

Ordered food via GrubHub and was sorely disappointed in the lack of freshness in the donuts. I have given stellar reviews for this establishment; but this time it was an epic fail. I Hope yesterday was just a bad day... read more

The owner is a top notch individual. Willing to assist and make right if the donuts do not have enough filling (or no filling) or get the wrong donuts. The coffee is delicious and even with the wrong donuts, everything is always delicious and tastes extremely fresh. Some of the workers could be a little friendlier, but other than that, everything is wonderful. If you're on the east side, definitely check the place out! read more

The devils food donut was divine and so chocolatey. The custard filled donut had a good amount of filling, but I could have used a touch more. read more

Jolly Pirate serves as somewhat of a landmark for the Reynoldsburg area- one of those "must-visit" restaurants. Safely said, the food at Jolly Pirates earns an easy 5 star. The donuts are notoriously delicious. Not only is the taste great, but the variety of options only add to the wonders found here. HOWEVER, you will not find options like bagels here. The central idea here is to order donuts, there are also several other pastries and muffins- but not the most diverse options for food. The coffee is average- could be better, could be much worse. The restaurant itself is outdated; it fits in with the theme but the floors and walls are clearly stained. The service is awesome and speedy. Definitely a must try. read more

Their hours are not as posted. It's frustrating when I look up to see if they are open, I wanted some donuts for my teachers and then I drove all the way there just to see they are closed. If there are staff issues or whatever fine. But post your hours correctly. read more

Good, fresh donuts with friendly and professional customer service. The Reynoldsburg location was clean.

SEVEN WORDS: Donuts, Pastries, and Muffins / 24-hour coffee shop Jolly Pirate, a Reynoldsburg staple for over 50 years, has provided breakfast reinforcements for many of the 'Burg's local businesses and organizations. Jolly Pirate does nothing extravagant: their donuts are great quality, with easily identifiable tastes and types. This consistency has helped them be the choice split for donuts on Columbus' east side, even when companies like Krispy Kreme have closed their doors. The shopitself is nothing extraordinary, either. A cafe-bar seats a baker's dozen or more and is often filled to capacity at dawn. No wonder - knowing exactly what you're going to get is sometimes luxury in itself. read more

If you ever want to travel back into restaurant history, a visit to Jolly Pirate is sure to bring you a nostalgic experience. Nestled in Reynoldsburg, this location is super easy to park, grab donuts, and leave. They had tons of workers on staff and all kinds of classic donuts to choose from. Most places do not have French Crullers so it was a treat to have those fresh. As always, I tried their cinnamon buns and braided yeast donuts. Both were pretty good but not the best I've had. I am still a fan of bakery donuts more but Jolly Pirate is a great alternative vs. national chains like Tim Hortons/Krispy Kreme/Dunkin. read more

Fresh and delicious! Was there right at 630 and the service was great and they never disappoint.

I have been a fan of JPD as long as I can remember (my parents would stop and get them before picking us up from our babysitter late at night - let's say JPD has been around a LONG TIME). There are no stores near me, so when I ended up in Reynoldsburg, you best believe I hit their drive-thru. (Also, I am a total donut lover. My favorite sweet pastry. Quality first, though.) Jolly Pirate are "classic" donuts - their cake donuts are dense, sweet but not cloyingly so. Crullers and other eggy donuts are a nice balance of crisp and creamy, and they don't stuff their jelly donuts too full. Lots of deliciousness - it's hard to eat only one! And good thing - they really are the best when they are fresh! Thanks for making my Saturday drive that much more worth it. read more

Good donuts and very fresh , probably one of the best doughnut shop in Columbus market.

Always great service with a smile, great "Gibb's style" coffee, and the donuts are the best!!

I appreciate that they're open 24 hours as I have weird hours. None of the Timmy Ho's are open beyond 9PM, which IMO is dumb. They have a variety of doughnuts, but as someone stated, they don't always have every flavor 24 hours and they can be stale at times, but they fill the doughnut hole I often have ;-D read more

Always a good donut!! Never have I eaten a bad donut here. They even magically stay fresh a few days after purchase too

I did not know that this place had some AWESOMENESS INSIDE. I mean I judged a book by it's cover and I was so wrong. I DETEST the color scheme of this place. So for years I have never ventured inside merely because of that. I happened to go inside one faithful day, as I was having a craving for a donut but all of my favorite spots were closed as it was 11pm. I said to myself that I could wait til tomorrow but my mouth said "Naw man. We need a donut right now!" So I obeyed my taste buds. I pulled up begrudgingly to the establishment and walked in with my son. Dreading each and every step. I got to the counter and the lady that greeted us was really pleasant. She asked what we wanted and gave us some recommendations. Upon which, I decided to partake in the freshly made honey dipped donuts. They were absolutely delicious. They were so good that I went back and ordered 3 more but she gave me two extra and gave my son 2 free donuts. So I must say that this place did not disappoint at all!!! read more

Best donuts in the country! Every time they are fresh, if they don't have a regular flavor you want they can make it for you. I've never been disappointed, the peanut donuts being particularly amazing. Plus the service is outstanding and open 24 hours! read more
