What a wonderful gem!!! My daughter told us about this place and told us we should stop by and get donut holes when we were driving back from our vacation in PCB. Wow, we are glad we did. The donuts are delicious! When I first walked in the Donut King I was greeted by a very nice lady who asked if I had been in before and asked if I wanted to try a donut hole. I said yes and tried the donut hole which was warm and tasty! She asked if I wanted some coffee or other beverage and told me about the different types of fresh donuts. I ordered some donut holes, chocolate glazed, sprinkle glazed, and 2 types of eclairs to take home for the family. All were wonderful and the best donuts we have ever eaten. We will definitely stop by the Donut King on our way to and from our PCB vacations. If you have never tried the donuts at the Donut King, I highly recommend. The service and donuts are exceptional!! read more

These are to die for!!!! Make it a must stop on your way to and from the beach!we love this place and will definitely be back for the donuts and donut holes!!!! read more

The Donut King - Donuts Near Me - Eufaula, Alabama

We drove about 45 minutes from Fort Mitchel to try The Donut King in Eufaula. Being from Central Florida we also have a Donut King (http://www.yelp.com/biz/donut-king-minneola) which, as far as I'm concerned are the best donuts anywhere. The Florida Donut King (no relation to the Eufaula one) are the standard we hold every donut up to. The Donut King in Eufaula is without a doubt worth the trip. The donuts here are different than most others. These donuts are more dense and when you have that first bite your taste buds will curl due to all the sugar. The cake of the donut doesn't rise like most donuts and is not light or fluffy but heavy, dense and slightly greasy- not necessarily in a bad way. If you've ever had a Smashburger burger, these donuts are the donut equivalent. Even down to the way the staff handles the donuts, kind of smoshing them when they pack them in to go boxes. The filled donuts have ample filling- you'll find lemon, vanilla cream, jelly and Bavarian at The Donut King. The also had chocolate iced with sprinkles, glazed, donut holes, strawberry iced, chocolate éclairs on our visit. They start making donuts at 5am and close when they run out. When I called they said they would put some aside for us and hold them until we arrived. I was also told they'll close anywhere from between 11am-3pm, depending on when they run out. Service was friendly in a southern charm kind of way. Everyone waiting for donuts was friendly as well, happily waiting for their donuts. The shop itself is a total hole in the wall. It's in a tiny space on a corner in quaint little Eufaula. The whole building looks like it might fall over and the air-conditioning felt non-existent. There is just enough space in front of the counter to peruse the donuts before getting out of there. There is a cooler with some bottled drinks and that's about it. So how does this The Donut King stand up to our Florida Donut King? Both deserve 5 stars but you can't really compare the two. This King's donuts are so dense and killer sweet you won't be able to eat more than one without going into a diabetic coma. But man, would it be worth it! read more

I'm in my 50s and these are the best damn donuts I've ever had. Last week I spent $15 on four at a fancy donut cafe in Atlanta. Four here was under $6. No comparison! Nice folks too. read more

The Donut King - Cinnamon twist, long john cream filled, jelly filled, and regular cream filled. The best donuts hands down anywhere! - Donuts Near Me - Eufaula, Alabama

This place is the best donut shop in the country. I do not say that lightly. My kids and I are basically donut experts at this point. We've traveled extensively. The glazed rivals/beats Krispy Kreme's best. Their eclair is unmatched. The cinnamon donut is another 10. read more

Fantastic donuts - old fashioned and delicious. Wow these were good!

No question about it! These are the best donuts you will ever put in your mouth! Made fresh every morning (until about 11:00 AM). Don't miss this little place when you come through Eufala! You can park on the side of the building! read more

The absolute best donut I have ever had in my life. The chocolate iced donut is heavenly. Better than a hot and ready Krispy Kreme, blasphemous as that may sound. It's SO worth the stop. read more

Ok, jumped out of the car while passing this place to grab a quick sweet!! Absolutely incredible. Small counter with enough to chose from, but you don't need 50 selections when your product taste this good. Keep it simple. And they do. Very friendly and courteous. I'll be back...!!! read more

I'm not sure I would drive 45 minutes to visit The Donut King (as an earlier Yelper did), but I would certainly never drive through Eufaula without stopping to get some of these yummy treats. And while the donuts are as great as any others you've had (I especially enjoyed the cream-filled donut), what makes this a 5-start review is the staff who works here. The African-American woman who served us was delightful, gracious and loving her job, and that put a smile on our faces for the rest of the day. This is a true hole in the wall establishment and, in my mind, that means it's great. read more

Great doughnuts! The honeybun was huge, and it was the best I've ever had. We bought an assortment, and they were all delicious. The lady behind the counter greeted us as soon as we walked in, and she immediately offered us a sample. Although we don't live in Eufaula, we will definitely go back when we are in town. read more

The Donut King was our first dining stop on our weekend getaway trip to Eufala. The staff was very warm and welcoming even offered us a sample. The donut holes are huge and melt in your mouth. Glad we stopped here. We weren't disappointed, you won't be either! read more

Amazing... especially the donut holes. The staff was super nice as well. When we said it was our first time, they let us sample freshly made (still warm!) donut holes... we didn't even ask, they just handed them to us. It's safe to say we were sold lol read more

These are by far a must try if you are in Eufaula!!! The doughnut holes are highly addictive!!! These yeast treats are better than the chain ones if you know what I mean. The cream is amazing good with out being super sweet. The building kind looks like a shack but don't let that deceive you. They know the locals by name. read more

The Donut King - Donuts Near Me - Eufaula, Alabama

I can't count the times I've passed this shop and either didn't see it at all or didn't give it a second thought.. and all the donut deliciousness I've missed out on over the years because of that. Seriously some of THE best donuts I've had, most certainly the best I've had in Alabama. Our first time in when asked what we would like I told the lady "I'm not sure, it's our first time here so we are trying to see the options". She handed us each a donut hole and said to try them while we decided. Answered questions and helped us decide on what to get. Only being in the area a few days, we made 3 trips. As we were moving out of the area we had to make one last stop! Staff is wonderful and donuts will melt in your mouth. Don't blink if you're driving in eufaula and cross the rr tracks or you'll miss it! read more

Idk know about anything else but the glazed donuts are to die for!!! The BEST donut I've ever had!!! Can't wait for the next camping trip just so I can go back to this one lace!!!! Yummy!! read more

WOW, the most amazing donuts. We purchased the donut holes and they melted in our mouth. The cinnamon rolls are to die for. I wish they were closer to home read more

We came from Tampa and stayed in Eufaula to hike at Providence Canyon. You can imagine the mentality of "treat yo self" the 7 mile hike gave us. We kept seeing the 5 star ratings for The Donut King on Yelp and decided the next day to see if the ratings were worth it. Upon arrival, we were greeted so warmly and so kindly. The woman asked if we were first timers and gave my friend and I each a free donut hole. They were delicious! Arguably better than Krispy Kreme. As my boyfriend puts it, "they were made with love and heaven." They melt in your mouth the moment you close it; one can only imagine what it's like when they're warm! Needless to say, we left with so much more than the one donut we came for. 12.5 times that, really. (A bag of donut holes is only 1.95!) Please. If you come here, leave the ratings The Donut King deserves. The world needs to know!! read more

The Donut King - Don't let this picture fool you. There we more donut holes in the bag. They were just too good to wait to take a picture for. - Donuts Near Me - Eufaula, Alabama

The donuts here are out of this world. Be sure to stop here if you are passing through town. It's all "to go" so don't plan to sit down with your donut. We got a couple on our first day and then went back for more on our way out of town to bring home to our family. read more

Not only are the people friendly they box up the best donuts within 100 miles. Highly recommended.

The Donut King's donuts are OUTSTANDING!!! It's true that the place doesn't look like much from the outside but inside the ladies that work there are super friendly and welcoming and the donuts themselves are melt-in-your-mouth goodness. We tried the glazed donut holes (AMAZING!!!), the chocolate donut (OMG yum!), the strawberry donut (super sweet and delicious), my kids loved the sprinkle donuts, and my husband ate half the cinnamon roll and was stuffed! We are donut connoisseurs (snobs? Lol) so it takes a lot to impress us but Donut King donuts are truly mouthwateringly delicious and worth your time!!!! read more

Stopped here for the first time on our way to Atlanta. The service is amazing, so friendly and personable! The donuts were fresh and practically melt in your mouth when you bite into them. Highly recommended and we will definitely be stopping again in the future. read more

I've driven by this place hundreds of times. We had some friends tell us to stop here. I had a chance yesterday. I can't even put it into words. Simply the best donut I've ever had. I almost had to pull over for a minute. Do not miss The Donut King if you in Eufaula. I'll never drive by again. read more

Me and my family are from out of town and they are the best donuts we have ever had! Great people too!

The best donuts you've ever had but don't expect friendly service. Take a deep breath and hold your temper when going in. It is worth it for the donuts though. It's not the same experience as it was when it was just Mrs. Anna and Mr. Billy. read more

The best donuts ever. My first trip me but surely isn't my last. My mom keeps bragging about these donuts so on my way home from ATL I saw they were open and stopped in. The donut were so good I ended up going back in and getting more. read more

The best donuts you'll ever eat in your life! We stopped in in our way to Florida and they had just sold out, so we thought we'd try our luck on the way back. We caught them just in time before they sold out again. It did not disappoint. There's a reason they sell out every day. The softest texture yet light and fluffy with the best homemade sugar glaze. These donuts are simply all of the things you hope a donut will be when you bite into it. Get the regular glazed. You won't be sorry. read more

The nicest people in the world work here. The donuts are bits of heaven. Special place with pink doors and good coffee.

Great donuts and excellent customer service. A great treat driving from Atlanta to Panama!

First day re-opened. Our first time here. Nicest people. Excellent donuts. We got a dozen assorted. The jelly donuts were great with lots of jelly. Everything was great. Don't miss out. read more

Great donuts, reasonably priced. Get a bag of holes! Admire the mounted fish!

Their donuts are great and the service was sweet! Make sure you tell them it's your first time coming there (if it is)! They gave us a free sample of a few donut holes. My favorite were the glazed donuts. Strawberry were really good too! read more

The best donuts around! You will never find something as amazing as these. I grew up on them and it is the first place I stop when I visit home. Now my daughter loves them as much as I do! Thanks for all the wonderful years of donuts! Look forward to many many more! read more

This place is the bomb! Loved their donuts, and the donut holes melt in your mouth! First timer, and will return again!

Let me just say, these donuts, OH MY!! They are by far the best donut holes & donuts in the South. We heard about this place & decided to stop on the way to our destination. They were so good that we stopped on our way back to have some for home & even brought some back for our family. The folks who work there are very sweet & the prices, well, they are definitely under priced in my opinion. They are just that great!! We take this trip twice a year so it is a must from this point forward. They do also have food but we didn't try the food because the donuts were so good, that's all we wanted to eat!! Just phenomenal!! BE SURE & TRY THIS PLACE!! YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO!! read more

You have to love it when something lives up to the online hype WOW!! The ladies working today were so nice and recognized newbies as soon as we walked in so we got a free hot donut hole. Three of us are now working on our dozen donuts and holes! read more
