Customer Reviews

I?m a donut snob, so when I say Jack?s Donuts are FRESH and delicious, you will like them. The Apple fritter was filled with chunks of apple. The sweet glazed croissant is a MUST try! The owner was in the store and was so friendly and kind. I?m from Kansas, and Jack, Jack?s Donuts and the adorable Downtown Franklin area delighted me.

Donuts were amazing. Staff was horrible. We were the only people in the whole store and she was rushing us saying ?hurry up? and was not helpful since it was our first time there. We are from out of town so had no clue about the selection and she wouldn?t tell us the flavor choices. (May 23rd @ 9:35am)

When I entered Jack's the counter lady was so pleasant. She greeted me and explained the specials and kept up a nice pleasant conversation with me while she carefully chose two dozen mixed donuts. The donuts here are huge. They taste scrumptious. They are light and fluffy and there are so many different varieties it's hard to decide which one is my favorite. Got two dozen of wonderfully mix and matched donuts. I am glad I stopped in today and will definitely be going back again. The store has an old coun

We stopped in this morning (Saturday @ 7a) due to recommendations from family. The staff was great & patient with us as we picked out our Jack?s Dozen. All the kids (& adults) loved all the donuts. We got tiger tails, sprinkle sticks, Oreo crumble & glazed crescent. My fave was the glazed crescent.

On the door it says ?Tap to pay preferred?, but then they charge a 3% credit card surcharge.

Love having Jacks in Franklin! Awesome place to bring kids too, they have a mini table with crayons and several coloring page options for the taking! The boys loved to sit in chairs their own size and color while they ate. Got 3 of these massive iced with sprinkles donuts for my 3 kids and the total was under $5! Can?t beat that for a snack stop for all the kids. Every time we have been in, the employees have been so kind and helpful! Plus they have gluten free options. I don?t typically get these but ha

Excellent doughnuts! Good service, good coffee, this place was great. Some of the best doughnuts in America. The chocolate ring was perfect.

Love their donuts. It?s not bougie and complicated it?s great donuts at a good price.

My fianc? and I got 2 coffees and 2 donuts. The donuts were fine, but the coffees were horrible. The first time we got them, they were thick from the amount of syrup the girl put in them- I counted when she made it, and she put 7 pumps of raspberry syrup in my medium drink. I didn?t catch her name, but it was the girl with blue hair. I like sweet coffee and I couldn?t hardly drink it. We went back in and politely asked her to remake them because they were way too sweet- we both felt like the girl hatefully

Best donuts I've ever had!!! Don't Debbie is awesome!!! I recommend this place every time I speak to someone!!!!!

We?ve been having such a rough week and my 2 year old has been begging for a donut with ?sparkles? all week. I finally took her this morning, and they treated her like royalty. I left in tears because sometimes just a little kindness can really give you hope. They were so kind and giving. We really really needed that so badly today. She left with me skipping out the door. There were two ladies working there and I wish I caught their names because they were just so kind.

We have been here several times since it opened and never had any issues but today when we went the kid working grossed me out so much I don't think we will be back. 1st off he wasn't even in the store when we got there and tried to hurry in the door before I walked in and was extremely rude, not even apologizing or anything, then just ran behind the counter to ask what I wanted withOUT washing his has or putting gloves on or anything!!! I told him nevermind because all I could think about is how the donut

The lady was kind as we were trying to make up our minds. There was a nice selection even at mid-day when visited.

The store looked so clean! The energy and smile from the employee working there was amazing! Definitely made my morning 10 times better!

They had a little bit of a bum rush this morning. And I was the very last one in line. Nobody else behind me from the time that I walked in to the time That I left, They had new donuts on display so I was wanting information but the older lady was just rushing me. Cutting me off when I was asking questions. Telling me i've only got this many left. I have never felt so rushed in that store before. I will not be going back anytime soon. Seemed She just wanted people out of there. That customer service was p

This is what a donut shop should be. Prompt, polite customer service with a solid selection of exceptional donuts. Highly recommend!

Now I know how Superman felt when he faced Kryptonite, as donuts are my kryptonite. I couldn't say no until I ate them all, and the next day, I mysteriously did the same thing again, and they were beyond delicious. On day four, I thought counseling was needed. However, the day five relapse 1. demonstrated, 2. validated, and 3. substantiated my love for donuts.

I was able to walk out of Jack's with a donut the size of a small child for less than 2 dollars. Outstanding customer service and a quaint atmosphere.

First time customer saw a sign in the window that says a free donut with a drink. I order one donut and a cup of coffee. The lady cashier said it was 4.65 I point to the sign and was told this drink didn't qualify. Bate and switch never works to keep customers

In addition to donuts they have ice cream and boba!

Got donuts for VIPs coming to town. This is our go to place??

The food is good but honestly it seems very over priced in my opinion. The staff was friendly enough.

Their policy is to cram a dozen of mixed donuts in a bag to save money. When we asked them not to do that, they charged us $1 for a box. I'll go to Pana from now on. They can keep their boxes and donuts.

I come here weekly because it is close to my house. When the younger teenage girls are working, they are very pleasant! If the older lady is working, she always seems like she didn?t get enough sleep the night before and is always on edge. Today they ran out of my wife?s favorite donut (which they frequently do) and it?s only 8:15am. I?m going to have to start making the longer drive to Long?s.

Their Donuts are delicious!!! The price you pay for the quality and the mere size of the donut, it?s a great value.

Donuts are great customer service sucks

The donuts are so delicious! Always fresh and the perfect texture. There's a flavor for everyone. And definitely don't skip the drinks! The energy drinks with added boba are so good, especially on warm mornings. So glad to have a place like Jack's in town!

Always has amazing boba drinks, I highly recommend the mermaid if you like tart! Donuts are great and the ice cream selection always makes the kids happy! Management is spot on with the way it operates, smiles and cheers from ALL the employees! 5star?????

I stop in every Tuesday morning for a dozen tiger tail donut holes. The place is always clean, the donuts are always on point, and the lady who works mornings is always attentive to each customer.

We were there around Noon on a Saturday. The donuts were good, but the self-serve coffee was TERRIBLE. It was cold and mostly bottom-of-the-pot dredged. Skip the coffee.

Very cozy, clean, and warm establishment. The donuts I got were delicious Top notch customer service, very personable, patient, and friendly :)

I love Jack's Donuts. You say you're open till 8 pm. But here it is 3:30 and you don't have a donut in the store to sell. 50% of the time, you don't have a complete selection of product to sell. I have stopped by a little after noon, and you dont have any tuger tails. Are you selling donuts or not?

I went into the shop with my children for the first time ever. There were tons of donuts to choose from and the drink selection was even more so. The employee Debbie was so helpful! She waited patiently while my kids decided what donuts they wanted and answered any questions. There was a man behind me who had been waiting about 4 minutes by this time. He stood behind me mocking my every word and questions. He kept huffing and puffing and after making my kids and myself uncomfortable, he yelled how ridiculou

So, up until now we've always had a good experience here. Today me and my two boys went in to get donuts. First off while the woman was making our order she was putting a Door Dash order together at the same time, which left us feeling like she didn't pay attention. Then proceeded to say we had reached our dozen when we only had 11 donuts in the box and even argued with me about it, saying we had 12. We counted the donuts 3 times in the parking lot and only counted 11. Don't argue with the customer and if y

Donuts were heavy jot what Ivexpect in a yeast donut.

Always a great fulfilling time when getting donuts with the kids or for yourself. Place is always clean and has tables where the children can color

Outstanding store. Customer service is top notch!!!

Always fresh, great variety of donuts and drinks, have Gluten free options, and speedy service. The weekday morning crew is especially friendly and welcoming.

Every single visit is exceptional. Staff very friendly, and donuts are always great. They accommodated my requests when it came to food allergy concerns. Thank you all for your amazing customer care and service!

Online said 6a for Saturday get there at 5:45am thinking they are going to have fresh made donuts and a lady came out said waiting on truck to bring our donuts. Got a dozen and half of them weren't even baked all the way.. just absolutely all around bad experience.. will definitely not go back and just continue to go to Greenfield Jack's

I go almost weekly to get the amazing cronuts in the morning. The lady working there in the mornings is always pleasant and wonderful to deal with.

Steve at Jack?s Donuts in Franklin personally took 2 donuts for my daughter to re-ice them and add sprinkles. That might not sound like a big deal, but it made my daughter?s entire day!!! The personal attention and enthusiasm was so delightful, and the doughnuts are absolutely delicious and the best anywhere. Can?t recommend them highly enough!!

Place is clean staff great. Selection is limited, no labels, need to focus on the donuts more and less on the other goods. The one of 135 is much better organized.

Asked for ICE water and didn't give us the ice. She forgot one of our donuts. She has an attitude and it's the short heavier girl. She was also arguing about doing a door dash order for a customer. From better people!

This place gets ????? from me for their glazed croissants. It's everything I wish cronuts had been when that craze was going on. But since the croissant isn't deep fried, it's still got the light buttery texture on the inside and a nice thin layer of glaze on the outside.

Jacks donuts had the most personable and sweetest staff ever. They treated us like family and their maple bacon donuts are TO DIE FOR!!! Must have!!!! And their donuts are the biggest we?ve ever seen!! Definitely coming back when we?re back in town.

Doughnuts are great and so big. The staff are even better so friendly and polite. Take cash to tip. Wish you could tip on a card. They deserve it!!

You can tell the girl working Sunday visibly hated her job. She was not nice at all to us. It?s unfortunate because this was our first time in and that was the first impression we got was a miserable worker not wanting to do her job. Doubt we will be back.

The customer service here is phenomenal. I asked about a filled long stick and they didn't have one so the associate did one for me. She didn't have to do that. The donuts I bought we're very fresh and quite good.

Always a good selection of donuts. Not the friendliest interaction from staff though.

I love the Jack's in indy but this one was a disappointment. They didn't have their famous carmel nut iced donuts. They didn't have jelly filled, and the donuts we did get were dry. I'm not sure I'll give them a second chance.

They were stocked good when I was there. The Lady was sweet and very pleasant. Very helpful. I'll definitely keep going back for more.

Great place to get donuts.

I went in close to closing and the cashier was very pleasant and welcoming! The donuts were a little on the stale side but it was close to 7 pm. There was a HUGE variety to choose from!

Donuts are great, but who sells long John's without filling? Come on ??

Inside is charming staff is so friendly and amiable and the food is so fresh

Always fresh and tastes awesome! Employee wasn't the friendless, but she wasn't rude. This is my favorite donut place!!

Delicious donuts. Gluten free option very nice staff. Clean store

Always delicious! Placed my order the previous day and it was ready right at 6:00. Very convenient. Thanks for the great service.

I freaking love this place!!! I highly recommend going here. Donuts are fresh and drinks are amazing. The atmosphere is so chill.

Love Jacks! Super fast and friendly service. Great tasting donuts with plenty of choices.

My son and I just love and really look forward to getting donuts at Jack's. DELICIOUS donuts and good prices by polite helpful staff.

I was just there and Nathan was so very professional, friendly and very patient with me. I told Nathan that I was very picky and Nathan went above and beyond.

My first visit and I was very pleased!!! The selection is great and the service was awsome!! I found me a new donut shop!!

The best donut shop in the area! Great selection and there's never a bad choice.

Donuts are good if you get them early in the day.

Not sure if the lady was just having a bad day or what but just left there without a thank-you or a smile or have a great day. She was very rude

When did Jacks change their hours I thought they all opened at 5am or is Franklin just special

They have good donuts like any donuts i have ever had and the employees are patient when people are ordering

My son loves going there, the staff is friendly and the donuts are awesome.

Jack is the man when it comes to doughnuts

Extremely Helpful Staff, offered quite a lot of flavors, definitely going back.

These donuts are the BEST! All other donuts are inferior to Jack's... doesn't matter which one is your favorite because they are all fantabulous!!!!

Cinnamon roll was excellent

Friendly staff, great coffee, and AWE-MAZING donuts!!!

haven't tried the donuts but the icecream is very rich, definitely recommend

Donuts are pretty decent. They just need to find more personable employees.

I used to work for Dunkin Donuts.... But Jack's is ???s better!!! Best Donuts I ever had!

Great service and donuts. I wish they had the chocolate yeast pretzel like some Jacks donuts.

Compared to Greenwood's location they don't have much variety but the staff is super friendly.

Wish they would step up the coffee. Donuts are always great!

Great tasting donuts at great prices. Great customer service as well!
