Customer Reviews

We love Bill's. They just have the best tasting donuts. The staff are friendly and understanding when you have a crazy order.

Great dohnuts the best I've had in Georgia. Staff is always friendly. When I order by phone they are also pleasant

2 stars for the fact that there are never any donuts. They don't close until 5pm but always seem to be out by or before lunch. Staff is nice and the sweets are good.

ordered a yellow cake with chocolate frosting for my mother's 85th birthday...also bought a dozen glazed doughnuts....I've never tasted a cake so moist and soft as that one and the doughnuts were so fresh and soft....I live in Macon and visit my mother near Vidalia so I'll visit a little more often now lol.

We always love bills from their incredibly friendly staff to there even more incredible sweets. ?? and if you're an art enthusiast, I encourage you to look up at the ceiling inside ??

Had fantastic donuts and staff is very friendly. Will definitely be missed when we leave after the hurricane clean-up ??

What a delightful donut shop..Great donuts, great folks...Best of all they are in the same mall with Police department..

Still makes old fashioned doughnuts. Krispy Kreme or Dunkin ain't even in the same ball park as the guys !!!!

Been going to Bill's since the 70's, when it was a mobile unit in a parking lot. The donuts atd always fresh and tasty, friendly and curtiest staff and the customers are nice too. My favorite and only donut shop l go too...

Wow and that's an understatement! Melt in your mouth eclairs STUFFED FULL with Bavarian cream. I've never had such a complete donut experience in my entire life until Bill's Donut Shop. Right up there with KK only better. I found it hilarious that it really was surrounded by cop cars. ??????????

Donuts so good, the police moved next door

I miss the old Bills. Not what they used to be. There have been no donuts many days and even days where they are just closed. Not sure what's going on, but having product and being open is a requirement for all businesses. Get well soon Bill's!

Soooo good! Got half a dozen donuts, but I wish I had a dozen. Scarfed them down so fast that I was barely out of the parking lot before I'd finished my two. Loved the glazed donuts. also got raspberry filled and cinnamon twists. Everything was great.

I was in Vidalia for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony and went to Bill's with my bestie. This was my first time, but it will not be my last! The doughnut, cinnamon twist, apple fritter, and cinnamon roll that I bought were DELICIOUS! Everything was so fresh! I will definitely visit Bill's on my next trip to Vidalia! Next time, I will be bringing more back to Atlanta!

Stay far away from this bakery for a Small Town bakery you think they'd appreciate every customer but the owner Michael has an attitude and a jerk demeanor if you're too old and grouchy to do your job retire and let someone else do it he seem to have been upset because I placed an order for cannolis and came in the next day and picked them up that agitated him and he remembered who I were not telling me I placed another order for cannolis me not knowing that he was agitated from the first go-around so rathe

I first had Bill's Doughnuts when I was seven yrs old. 47 yrs later, and I'm still coming there every chance I get. It's my favourite doughnut place of all time. I recently met an older lady who works there she's one of the nicest people I've come in contact with in Vidalia. Her smile and personality are contagious. If the doughnuts don't put you in a great mood, she will. ( She was wearing a Vidalia Indians Softball t-shirt)

YUMMY! DELICIOUS! Never disappointed when we come here. Love seeing all the holiday desserts on social media. Customer Service is always good even though sometimes you feel rushed. The drive thru window is convenient.

My parents just moved to town in December 2022 and we had donuts from here several times a week when I came down to visit. Ahhh-mazing! Cannot wait to visit again this spring and have another sugar fever dream of donuts!

I walk in with my shades expecting a building of bright light and overwhelming prices. This place was none of the above, they had beautiful art great lighting and great prices and even great-tasting donuts coffee rolls and pistachio muffins! I couldn't ask for a better donut and bake shop experience environment and taste of food. Very friendly workers and glad this place is around.

A year ago, I was new to Vidalia. Until then, I?d never had donuts like these. Though Dunkin? came to town, we have no need to go there. Love Bill?s !!!!

The donuts are ok coffee is ok. The brownies were to die for. The prices are ridiculously HIGH! 2 dozen donut holes cup of coffee and a brownie almost $24. And for donuts that are not fresh, at least a day old!

The owner, Michael, is such a pleasure! And the donuts are top notch, Bill's Donuts shop is worth checking out!

Move over Krispy Cream,,Now I see why your closing down your stores. When you have a place like Bill's ,Donuts and baked goods, It makes all the difference, and so with the time and money. Thank's the your lovely customer service you get as well. A nice selection of good1

I have never gotten anything from Bill?s that I haven?t absolutely loved. The donuts are amazing, and the iced sugar cookies are my absolute favorite. ??

I have been enjoying Bill's Donuts for years now. They have always been one of my favorite tastes in donuts. I used to always frequent Baker's Pride in Savannah, but since they have now changed the taste of their donuts I will only enjoy Bill's Donuts when visiting Vidalia Ga from now on....I like Bill's Donuts even better than Krispy Creme & that says alot!!!

Best donuts around. Fast, Friendly service. Been going here for years. Can't beat em & Can't get enough.

Had to load up on jelly and cream filled doughnuts while in town. Yummy as always. I missed having my pistachio muffin but the lady filled me in on why they haven't had them. ??

Donuts were so delicious that I had to "relieve " myself in the bathroom after eating 4. And I'm not talking about a number 2. Donuts made me stroke it. I'm sure my " glaze was all over the wall!! Thanks Bill.

Best donuts in town. Like the slogan said, 'Donuts so good the Police department moved right next door to them!'

Always delicious. Never old tasting, even at the end of the day. Friendly staff. Going inside is quicker than the drive thru if they are busy. 5 stars if the drive thru was faster.

I live in Tampa but my parents reside in Reidsville. This is the only place I want donuts from. I choose them over Krispy Kreme which are the bomb. Give me their twists, regular or cinnamon

Excellent, taste great, smells good, and everyone's nice. Peach yogurt was wonderful and the apple fritter was big enough to feed a family of 4.

Great treats, good ole fashion down south sweets, cinnamon buns are the bomb and huge?!! I love their doughnuts to. Try it you'll like it.??

I love Bills Donuts! The ladies are always friendly and have such a warm welcoming atmosphere. Plus, their donuts are always fresh and good.

Delicious donuts!! Fresh! Yummy!! There was a great selection! They were extremely friendly!!

Awesome Bakery. The lady that waited on me was very friendly and just awesome. Wish I knew her name. Will be back when my guys at work need some donuts. Lol

Best donuts you'll ever have. Every time I'm in the area, I stop. Even if I'm full already. They are that good.

This place always has hot fresh donuts, the filled donuts are my favorite but they have a variety of style and flavor

I would give this business a half of star. Worse customer service. Paid $18.00 for 16 cupcakes that were turned upside down because they were placed in a donut box instead of a cupcake holders. Never have any products to purchase. I'll NEVER patronize this business again!!

So many yummy goodies! And they are open on Sundays!!! Needed a cake in a pinch for my son's birthday and they had a delicious one already made!

The donuts and other sweets are very good. Availability depends on when you go there (the earlier, the more selection).

Amazing donuts and right next to the police department so you know it's good.

I very rarely give 5 stars to anyone but this is very well deserved. Excellent service and their donuts are absolutely amazing!

OMG - best cinnamon rolls, donut holes & donuts. You have to try it if you haven't! ??

"Chocolate chip cookie icing sandwich" was better than the Great American Cookie Company's. YUMMM!

The donuts and the yogurt are way overpriced. Went in to buy some yogurt, and when the girl told me the yogurt had to be weighed, and then the cost, I told her ?No way!? and walked out! Donuts are too heavy, and overpriced as well.

Not as good since the recent change of ownership. The greasy apple fritter looks like an amateur attempt at a cross between a Pop Tart and a French toast sandwich slathered with apple pie filling. I took only one bite of it, then discarded it. Where's the real Bill when you need him?

Love them donuts. Better than any where else in town

Excellent service, great staff, very kind and courteous.

Donuts were fresh and delicious! Only suggestion would be to add like a name sign or something in front of the different types.

I love Bill's Donuts! They made a great donut and donut holes, but my favorite is the cinnamon twist donut :)

I have been enjoying Bill's Donuts for more than 20 years.....and they have still got the best donuts anywhere!!!

Best donut everrrrrrr

Best donuts in town! Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Love Bill?s. Best donuts ever. Always great service.

Great service and great ??. I visit mt vernon ga 4x a year and my favorite morning stop is Bill's ??. Thanks Bill for the great ?? and service.

This is hands down the best doughnut place in the south east could beat out Krispy Kreme and dunkin!!

Price and selection are great. Everything from a clean friendly environment. In and out in a hurry or sit down and enjoy. Awesome!

The most moist awesome Red Vevet Cake I have had in years...Happy Birthday Jeff Spores !!!

The sweetest 'little' lady works here and I promise you, the treats from here are sooooooo much better than Krispy Kreme!

My mom and dad love this place. Then my son's friend shows up with a box. Pretty good????

The most down-to-earth down home awesome Bakery it's really good stuff you feel at home there you really do I would recommend it to any and everybody

Best home town donut shop around, better than krispy kreme in my opinion.

Some of the best donuts and always a great and friendly staff!! Recommend to everyone!!!

Great doughnuts the place in Vidalia to get fresh made ones

Best donuts and muffins found any place. Can?t stop with just one

Pretty good most of time. But I don't get the feeling they appreciate my business.

The best fresh donuts always get a dozen when I get to travel there.

It just ain't the same as when I was a kiddo. But it is the best around!

Donuts was cold to high to pay for donuts that should be warm at least

As always since I was a little kid, gives you that hometown vibe with great sweet treats.

Awesome people and kind. Great pastry and service!

Everything about the service and the doughnuts/bakery delicacies were beyond satisfactory.

The donuts are awesome. The glazed and raspberry filled are my personal favorites.

Outstanding donuts! And they should be at nearly $12/dozen which is what the clerk charged me.

They're the best donuts in Vidalia ??

The sweet treats were delicious and the staff was very friendly!!!

Amazing and fresh donuts. The sweetest servers ever !

They are delicious but do not close at 7 pm.

Good donuts but they're a little dense.

Fast courteous service. Products were fresh and well stocked.

It's ok for a local donut shop but prices are high for a dozen donuts
