The only thing good is the building and the pepperoni rolls. Unfortunately ever since the owner of the establishment changed everything but the pepperoni rolls has deteriorated. The buttercream tastes horrible, doughnuts are crusty 90% of the time no matter what part of the day you go, and the icing is super sloppy AND the cookies are also crusty/hard. I hate to see this place go so badly ive been going since I can remember and I don't even wanna go anymore. Pepperoni rolls are amazing if you do go They?re
I have been spending time in this cool little spot since my earliest memories. The smells hitting me while they are cooking fresh breads, pastries, and donuts while I was out delivering newspapers was always my favorite. Now I take my kids for the amazing counter service. Great to still have small independent spots like this in a time when all small businesses are being crushed and forced out of business by larger chains!
I wanted to send a very big thank you to the staff at Jrs! I live in Florida and all I wanted for my birthday was a taste of home good ole pepperoni rolls and Mr. Bees potato chips! My dad came in to purchase your hot pepper cheese pepperoni rolls to mail to me! I got them yesterday! The nice lady working that day gave my dad all of the freshest available so they wouldn't spoil in transit! I look forward to having these every time I come home to visit no one makes pepperoni rolls the same down here in Flori
East coaster here. The donuts and especially the Apple fritters are incredible!! The food is awesome. But you all seriously need to invest in a French press or have a coffee making class. The coffee is literally disgusting. It?s burnt EVERY time and a million degrees no matter how much cream we ask for. It?s flat out horrible. Get rid of the coffee machine. Do a large French press or a pour over and charge a dollar more. Never had worse coffee in my life I can?t even lie.
the donuts speak for themselves. The pepperoni rolls speak for themselves. Both are fantastic. Has anyone tried their hot dogs? Delicious! And they make their own buns for them. Definitely worth a try. The staff is awesome. Always friendly. And any order I've ever made there has been spot on to perfection!
JR's staff always knows my name when I walk in and remembers what my son and I order. They are always kind and helpful. I also place large donut orders for the company I work for, and they always have them ready quickly without any hassle. I take JR?s donuts all over the state, and every office I visit gets excited when they see that white box?they love JR?s! Their prices are much lower than the competition, and the donuts taste even better. We love JR?s, and I recommend them to everyone!
I can?t think of any donut shop I love more! I?ve been going to JR?s since I was a little kid, and still stop by every single time I?m back in town. Recently, I got married in SC and ordered a ton of pepperoni rolls to give out during my wedding - what a hit!!! We had friends and family who had never had a pepperoni roll before and are still talking about how good they were. JR?s made it super easy to order and pickup. Absolutely love this business and their workers!
JR?s has the best donuts! Not overly glazed like other donut shops in the area. They?re perfect! Anytime my family from out of town visits, they have to make a stop for their donuts and pepperoni rolls several times before they leave! The staff is so friendly too.
Lots of good interesting things to try. We got the pepper jack pepperoni rolls, a buttermilk croissant, regular glazed, a chocolate croissant, a sour cream, a cookies and cream and a cream filled. The cream was the best so long as you get a bite of cream. The buttermilk was interesting, a cross between a typical buttermilk with a croissant. The worst was the chocolate croissant, it was just dry and lack-luster.
Locally owned and operated by the same family for as long as I can remember and a staple and big supporter of our area. JR?s is refreshing change from the chains that are so prevalent these days. The pepperoni rolls are the best, delicious donuts and unique baked goods that are all freshly made. I stop here for kids snacks, to grab cookies or donuts for an event or a cup of coffee, never disappointed. This is the place everyone that has moved away comes back to on visits!
This is a local staple for the MOV. No one beats their donuts in flavor or price. The employees are always pleasant. I've made special orders with them before with absolutely no problems. They love working with their customers. There's a reason they keep getting voted #1!!
Great donuts! The best pepperoni rolls in West Virginia! Soft, flavorful?only down side is that you?ll eat the entire bag. Friendly people, protect employees and good atmosphere any time of day!
Absolutely love Jr?s favorite thing is their pepperoni rolls. They got me thru most of my high school year lunches and a pregnancy where I craved their pepperoni rolls. They have amazing staff and it?s nice to see a business that cares about their employees safety. If you haven?t tried them you really should amazing amazing place.
It's a great place all around! The donuts are always fresh, and very affordable! I got a dozen donuts and some sugar cookies, and didn't pay more then $14-$15. Great selection aside from donuts, too! They have cookies, brownies, muffins, pies, etc. We visit often and I have yet to have a negative experience.
Best donut in the Parkersburg area. Been enjoying JR Donuts for upwards of 40 years. Thanks for a great business. It?s great that you think of your workers safety and close doors and keep the drive through open. Seen a comment someone was not happy you closed your doors early. Times have changed in this world we live in that people don?t care about your life, and don?t care to take it for a few dollars in the cash drawer. So GREAT job thinking of your workers safety. So you messed up an order, did they give
This place takes me back... The donuts are so good no matter what time of day you get them. I also get the cookies with the icing in the middle.. Too delicious ??! The price, we'll if you complain, that's on you, this is a small business, not a cookie cutter big box bs. They care about their customers and community. The staff are polite, after hours they lock the door for safety, which is a great safety feature, they care about their employees! Get your butt out there run and get some donuts and other good
This is the last place you ever need to go for donuts or pepperoni rolls.!! My favorite is the hot pepper cheese lol. All the employees are awesome just like the donuts. You can bet once you try them, everyone else pales in comparison.
JRs is a local icon with excellent donuts, baked goods and pepperoni rolls! I have bought and shipped many bags of their delicious pepperoni rolls to our kids when they're working out of town! Our youngest bought some this week to take to NC before leaving here for work. The folks are always pleasant and helpful if you're unsure of what you want. They lock their lobby doors at 9pm for the safety of the employees (way to go management for making your employees a priority!!) but the drive thru is open until 1
JR's has been a wonderful business in the MOV for so many years and still are the top choice for baked goods in my book! I love their pepperoni rolls and even the ones we get at local gas stations are great. The drive-thru is such a convenience! Love this place!
We love you all, your service, your employees, your donuts, and everything you all do. You have the best donuts around for many many many miles and no one can compare. We only eat your donuts, except when we go to Indiana there is a donut shop that we stop at, they are only open a few hours a day inside and drive thru, so we are blessed to have you all to be opened the hours that you are. As for mistakes we all are human and those that can't except that are hypocrites, I pray when they make a mistake the
Jr's is a local favorite. They always have fresh donuts and the glazed croissants are amazing and they have the best pepperoni rolls! The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly. I would always recommend Jr's ???? ??
Love this hometown staple. Thankful they work all night for us to have fresh every am! Lock the doors at night! I lock my office during the day! It?s 2025. God bless y?all and thankful for your establishment.
JR?s Donut Castle has been a staple in Parkersburg for as long as I can remember, and for good reason! The donuts are hands-down the best in town?always fresh, soft, and full of flavor. Whether you?re stopping in for a classic glazed, a cream-filled delight, or their famous apple fritters, you can?t go wrong. On top of the amazing donuts, the service is top-notch. The owner, Aaron, has been a great friend of mine since high school, and it?s no surprise that he runs his business with the same kindness, dedi
I've been coming here since my grandfather brought me so many years ago. Now I get to bring my grandson to experience these doughnuts. They have always been great. I've never had a bad experience. I would recommend this to everyone
JR's, without a doubt, has the best donuts in the area. You not only get good donuts, but you get some darn good pepperoni rolls, too. Especially the hot pepper cheese ones. But the thing that makes them stand out the most to me, is that small town feel. The building is unique, the staff have always been friendly, inside and in the drive thru, everything seems like it has been made with more care than what is necessary. That's what makes them special. They are the Chick-fil-A of donuts.
The best! I no longer live in Parkersburg, but always stop here a couple times anytime my family and I are in town. We love their donuts and pepperoni rolls! Always friendly and prompt service!
Some of the best donuts in the mid Ohio valley. Everyone is welcoming when you come through the door. They don?t even get frustrated when you take a while to pick out which donuts you want. Best service in town as well.
I absolutely LOVE JRs doughnuts. They are made fresh, in house every day and you can taste the freshness. And, their prices are so reasonable! While you're there, grab a package of the pepperoni rolls which are also fantastic.
Came through the drive-thru Monday morning a little after 6am on my way back out of town. The woman working was so friendly. My coworkers here in Illinois are raving about the pepperoni rolls! Love sharing a WV staple with those that are unfamiliar!
JR's Donut Castle is our absolute favorite donut shop in WV. We drive over 2 hours to grab donuts and pepperoni rolls. Sometimes only to turn around and drive back home. Yes, they're worth the drive.
Best donuts ever! They always stay fresh longer than most other donut shops and they taste even better! Always friendly and fast service in a cozy environment! 10 out of 10 will always recommend JR?s Donut Castle!
Absolutely the best doughnuts in the country!! Fresh, soft, pillowy and sweet! You can?t go wrong with their superior food of any kind! Highly recommend! ????????
We always have to make a stop here when we go to Parkersburg. My sister in law loves the yum yums (I think that is what they are called). We love the chocolate cream filled and the maple cream filled. :)
I live over an hour away from Jr?s but everytime I?m in town I stop and get get doughnuts. They?re always fresh and taste great! The cookies and muffins are good too. The staff is friendly and do a good job. The store is small but it?s clean, organized and a laid out well. Prices in my opinion are very fair and honestly on the cheaper side I think. Definitely worth the drive to check them out. Way better than Dunkin or Tim Hortons!!!
I have been going to this place for years. I use both the drive thru and walk in service to get my cravings at that moment lol The service is top notch, the pepperoni rolls are amazing and the wide variety of sweets are unmatched! I would recommend this place to anyone, especially an out of towner so that they can experience a taste of Parkersburg.
If you?re coming to the MOV, you HAVE to stop at JR?s. Growing up here, JR?s was a monthly, sometimes weekly stop for a dozen donuts. Yes their hours have shifted around, whether their lobby is open or not, etc, but everything has since covid. They?re still good people working around what the world has dealt them in the last few years. Stop in and support a small business. *customer of 25 years
Best donuts in town!! We no longer live in the area but my 6 year old still talks about the castle donuts and how good they where! Definitely need to make a trip back to get donuts
Best little doughnut shop around!! Doughnuts are made fresh several times a day, service is always friendly. It's a little tight to get in/out of drive-thru but just take your time. Great selection of pastries, including doughnuts, muffins, turnovers, fresh coffee. I'll even stop for just some doughnut holes..... ??
Nicest people and best donuts. I also like the variety of pepperoni rolls available. I probably use the drive-thru more than counter service and get good service from both.
This is my favorite place to get donuts in the area. They have been a staple since my childhood. The maple longhorns have always been my favorite and they are still great. They care about both their employees and their customers.
The donuts are delicious. Employees are hardworking and courteous. Prices are affordable. Pepperoni rolls?an icon. What?s not to love?
Always crave for sourcream doughnuts from this place. Not too sweet, and perfect crispiness outside
Love this place. Best donuts around a good simple cup of black coffee and a friendly face behind the counter. What more could you want from a local staple?
Jrs has been a childhood favorite of mine. I?ve been living in Maryland for the last 10 years after leaving Parkersburg and Jrs is one of the major things that keep me connected to home. Care packages of pepperoni rolls are one of my favorite things to get. Every time I come to town, my last stop is always Jrs for snacks for the drive back home, and extras to show the people around here the yummy treats of Jrs. Staff is always friendly and always a good experience. I will never not stop at Jrs. The 6 hour d
LOVED IT! Stop by for all things baked on Emerson Avenue. I promise you will find your favorite donut. Highly recommend the s'mores and Reese's ones. Check out the apple fritters. They're HUGE!
Thank you JR'S for the big donut for my baby's birthday!!!
Always great friendly service. Accurate and timely. Everything I have ever purchased there has been delicious from their pastries, to their pies and pepperoni rolls.
We make a trip to JRs at least twice a week to load up on not just donuts but on freshly made pepperoni rolls. Our son is picky when it comes to what he will eat for lunch. His most requested item is JRs pepperoni rolls and for the cost & quality it is a win win. I grew up on JRs donuts and my favorite pick me up still to this day is a warm glazed donut. Many fond memories growing up and going on goodie runs with my mom. She knew one of the bakers that worked there in the 90s and got our birthday cakes don
Best donuts ever! I?m not generally donut fan but JRs is top notch. Love their other desserts too. Definitely recommend!!
I had a big order last week, called in several weeks before to place the order. I didn?t even look at them till I got to my function and everything was absolutely ?? perfect! Keep up the great work!!!????
Donuts are always amazing, but the staff member Elena is extremely rude and as soon as we pulled up to the drive through she made a dirty face at us through the window. Not a pleasant interaction.
This place is absolutely amazing. You have Dunkin? doughnuts fans, Krispy Kreme fans, to be perfectly honest this place beats both combined. Very tasty and fresh with excellent customer service. A few tables, a drive thru, and pickup available.
Best donuts in the MOV! Hands down! Also, don?t forget to get you some awesome pepperoni rolls while you?re there. You will not be disappointed!
Employee's are respectful and willing to help, food is great i myself really enjoyed the chocolate covered brownies and the pizza rolls. Thank you for yall for you service and keep up the great work
I loooove the drive thru option as a busy mom! It?s so convenient. The staff is always so nice and quick to service and greet everyone. It?s MOV classic we can?t go without!
Go to JR?s quite frequently. Love the people there. They are so sweet just like their donuts ?? My go to place for my sweet tooth. ??
JR?s is a great place to get quality donuts with amazing service. They work tirelessly to provide the best donuts in the MOV! Can?t be beat.
Love JRs Donuts! Best in town. Love their long johns. Great staff and great products. Support small businesses!
I like it better than most donut places in town it's still not as good as it was back in the day but it has to be one of my favorites in town they seem a little bit fresher
Really don't know why employees are afraid to open the doors if you are afraid to work at this location that you have to lock the doors so you push people to go through the drive through then completely mess the order up and charge me for the order I gave you then give all the complete wrong items if you can't work in that environment maybe find another profession and open the doors so we can be assured we are get the correct order smh complete fed up with this can't wait for mchappies to open back up
I would post pictures , but I ate the donuts too fast. I love this place!! I come from Huntington to get donuts. Thanks for the great customer service, too.
My husband will drive across town because he needs ?a real donut!? Lol. Love them and that it?s local and not a chain. Yum!
Awesome food and friendly staff, best donuts and pepperoni rolls around ! Highly recommend! Very reasonably priced as well
Their sour cream donut is awesome! We tried this place while we were traveling and I'm so glad that we found it. It was super close to our hotel, the service was awesome. Of different donuts and some pastry options as well. I only wish that they had a giant donut like someone had pictured
We love JR's its a staple of our community, people come from all over for the best doughnuts and pepperoni rolls in the Valley!
A staple of the area, JR's Donut Castle(The taste fit for a king) never disappoints. I don't live in the area full time anymore but whenever I come back, I make sure to stop by JR's before I head back out. Whether its donuts, other desserts, pepperoni rolls or any other baked good, they don't disappoint. Competitive pricing with chains like Dunkin is a plus.
Unlike all the other donut places in town, they keep making donuts throughout the day. They also have amazing pepperoni rolls!
Not only does JR?s have donuts of all different, shapes and flavors but they also have donuts in all sizes too!! The one pictures below is said to have the same amount of dough as a dozen donuts and can be iced as well as filled with a fruit filling, cream, or pudding. Whether you need something to go with your morning coffee or have a late night craving JR?s had the donut for you.
Best donuts in the 'Burg! Love JRs! The long johns and pepperoni rolls are fab.
JR'S IS AMAZING! THANK YOU FOR SERVING OUR COMMUNITY! MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR THIS BUSINESS AND ALL THE STAFF! HUGS TO YOU ALL!
We love JR?s donuts. The staff is always extremely friendly and the donuts are delicious!
Absolutely my favorite spot to get donuts. You can't beat the price either. Under $7.00 for a half dozen.
Thank you for protecting your staff! Best donut shop around! If i could give more stars, I would!
The Best Donuts anywhere! I love the Applesauce donuts along with the Yum-Yum?s! It?s a twisted glazed donut.
In town for a week of work thinking I was going to die for good coffee found this place the coffee is awesome and then you find out they have these incredible donuts this place is the best. I?ll be living here.....
Place is amazing and a local donut shop! Always nice friendly staff and fresh donuts!!!!
Great service. Not only are the donuts good but the brownies are to die for.
Yummy donuts and friendly staff,HIGHLY recommend for your sweet tooth cravings
My family loves their donuts and I love their pepperoni rolls, especially the hot pepper pepperoni rolls.
JR's Donut Castle is a delightful local bakery. It offers a variety of fresh donuts and pastries with the whimsy of an anthropomorphized cartoon donut king named Mr. Freshie. May his reign be long and prosperous!
The best pepperoni rolls in town! The donuts are great too!
I ordered a birthday cake for my brother. I asked them to decorate with red, white and blue icing; and a flag if possible. WOW!! The cake is gorgeous. It has a gorgeous flag in the center, and red, white and blue stars (candy) sprinkled on top. My brother is a disabled vet and he was SO pleased with the cake. He is still talking about it. It goes without saying that the cake is delicious. Thank you JRs for going above and beyond on the beautiful cake!
Best donuts around, and the service is always ?????????? Love supporting a small business!
We love it every time we visit Parkersburg! AWESOME DONUTS!??
I Love this place the doughnuts, cakes you name it simply the best.
most often these donuts are so incredibly good. I <3 glazed or yum yum. every now and then I do end up with a super dry donut, and some of the employees are unfriendly, but the good very much outweighs the bad
Omg... the applesauce donuts are amazing. Everything is good. The service is excellent.
