Customer Reviews

I recently stopped by Fatboy Donuts & Catering and was absolutely blown away by their donuts. They were soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet?just the right balance. The flavors were creative and fun, from classic glazed to unique specialties. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the shop had a warm, inviting vibe. They also offer catering options, and everything seemed top-notch and fresh. Definitely a must-visit for donut lovers!

Have the best donuts. They are light and full of flavor.

I alway try to stop by whenever they?re open. They have some of the best donuts I?ve had, but today I received a warm bow tie. I can say they really know their stuff because that donut exceeded my expectations. SO GOOD!!

The place actually has good donuts? When they?re actually open their hours are either never correct or they just open whenever they want to. I?ve driven here a couple times during what should be regular business hours and they?re not open.

Great prices, the BEST DONUTS, Polish Boys, & Wings in the city. I enjoy the great customer service I receive & it feels like home whenever I am there. My co-workers & friends frequent this spot too. It's WORTH IT!

I came for the donuts but they were out at 11a on a Saturday. I was very disappointed so I settled for a polish poe boy. It was just ok. I wish they were better prepared to serve customers especially after they were on the news a couple of nights ago soliciting business.

I went there because of a promo spot I saw on the local news and it was as good as advertised. Great little shop with extremely friendly staff! Unfortunately I missed out on the doughnuts ? (for future reference its a shop NOT a bakery so when the doughnuts are gone..they're GONE!) which are so widely popular that ppl are waiting before they even open. However..they also have Chicken Wings,Polish Boys & Chili Dogs (which were delicious!) I look forward to going back for those doughnuts and the hospitality!

Returning customer wants to know if you are open for business or are these non current reviews. I use to bring my children there when I lived in the neighborhood. My son's that are in the Muslim faith often ask about the business. Can I assure them that you are now open?

BEST. DONUTS. EVER. The lemon filing is too die for & the coconut! O.M.G!! The staff is always friendly, even at 7am. The donuts are made fresh, each day, but once they run out, that's it. So, get'em when you see'em. LOL

Shoppers be aware: I don't think this place is open for business anymore, or at the very least temporarily closed. Stopped by a few times in the past month & the doors have been closed each time.

Literally hot off the griddle donuts. We wanted cake donuts but were sold out and another batch was coming, that's FRESH! Reasonable prices too and friendly atmosphere.

I heard about this place on Facebook and decided to swing through one morning and support. Prices are reasonable and the cinnamon rolls are tasty.

Is this place still open? I have driven up there a few times and called but no one answers and the place is closed. Google hours say open 5-5 so if your not open maybe update Google the new hours or that your closed all together

The best donuts in town. I road from euclid to get my glazed donut fix. People were in line from all over the city. Donuts were freshly baked and so so so good. I ate 3 of them. Visit them y'all...you won't be disappointed.

I bought a dozen of donuts today, and none of them were fresh! Highly disappointed. Called the shop and the young man told me, not to exchange them, that they all are not fresh, so i asked for the boss, Mr Sparks he was not available so he took my name and number and told me the boss man would probably take care of me tomorrow. More disappointment. So we will see.

Army Veteran here and today 5-15-2021 first time at FB. Treated like I have been a regular customer. Great fresh tasting donuts. Highly impressed. Will be a returning customer and I live by Ohio City area

Best neighborhood donut shop! A must try! Great people too!

Great service! The donuts were fresh and warm. Definitely worth stopping in if you?re in the area. Positive vibes going in in there. Thanks Mustafa.

I Absolutely Love This Place.... Donuts Are Always Good And Fresh..... Yummmmmmmy.. I just want you to be open more. It's so sad to drive all the way from the westside on a day that you are supposed to be open and you are closed, make more apple fritters PLEASE

Haven't been able to try the food yet...the first time we went they were out of donuts, which was understandable because we got there around 4:00 pm. The second time we arrived at 11:00 on a Friday and they were closed. Today (Wednesday) we arrived at 9:30 am and they were closed. Very disappointing, wish there was a way to pre order so we could finally try their donuts.

BLACK OWNED BAKERY! Yolanda and Mustafa were very friendly and welcoming. Place appeared clean and their pastries baked fresh. Great prices! Convenient location and hours. Would be great if contactless payment option (e.g. Apple Pay) was available, but completely understand with it being a private owned business. Will definitely return!

Best donuts we have ever had

Don't let the location fool/ deprive your taste buds, the donuts are good. I can pick two dozen up in the morning and give them to my guys and they can't believe how good they are early that early in the morning, like 6 in the morning.

Donuts were good. Everybody there was so nice.

Great food go early for their fresh daily donuts they're delicious. I would share a pic of my lunch but it was gone before I got out of the car lol

My wife and I went here for the first time today. Very polite. Great doughnuts. I ended up getting the wrong doughnut. I still ate it. #Delicious

Love the donuts wish they would deliver.

It's perfect timing for enjoying the simple things in life. One bite was exquisite delight!! Keep your craft cause your blessed King.

I was raised on Ablewhite ave. off Eddy rd. in cleveland went to Patrick Henry Jr. High and Collinwood High School and Fat Boys had the greatest poe boy's in the world I now live in Columbus after reting from the u.s. army, but will make sure to visit them when I go to visit family.
