Customer Reviews

Fantastic small business with a big heart and smile. I am personally fond of a good cake donut, and I was thrilled with my purchase. The Broasted chicken in the showcase looked very tempting as well , but i passed on it. This is one business you will want to visit.

The owner here is incredibly friendly! We came in at 6:45 am on a Saturday morning and got donuts. They were some of the best we?ve had. She offered us free donut holes and some coffee too. We will definitely be back next time we visit Tucson!

The best chicken tenders I've ever had. Giant, juicy, and crunchy. The donuts were pretty good too. The ladies behind the counter were very nice. There were about 6 booths and one larger table for seating inside. People were in and out getting to go the entire time we were there.

I can't decide which I love best, the Donuts or the chicken. You can't go wrong with either. The coleslaw is delicious, and I'm picky about my coleslaw. Potato wedges, potato salad, all delicious! I haven't tried the macaroni salad but I'm sure it's like everything else-Delicious! The donuts are big, and filled with several different fillings if that's your style. I have tried them all and loved every one of them!! Excellent assortment and all are yummy. My favorite is the cream filled maple bars! You can

My gold standard donut stop west of the Mississippi. Their small, plain cake donut has a complementary sugary smooth sweet buttery taste similar to a pound cake. When I say small, it?s the size of a hockey puck, which is perfect because the crispy outer layer on larger size donuts always is very thin and oily tasting. That thick crispy crunchy texture layer is the reason the donut tastes so complete. It protects the inside dough. A gold standard donut typically has this virtue. Jersey Joey has Been going

I LOVE this place I have lived in the area like 10 miles from here and never knew about this fabulous place. I went in and bought fried chicken and donuts and the chicken was so fresh juicy and tasty. The donuts remind me of the ones back home in Calif finally found a place that I will definitely frequently visit. The customer service was above and beyond wonderful and the shop very clean thank you for your wonderful tasting chicken & donuts

The staff here are a part of the community and know most customers by name. The chicken and homemade side dishes are the best I have ever eaten. The chicken is always juicy and fresh The sides are also home made and a perfect compliment to the chicken.

We have been living in this neighborhood for 3 years and we had never explored our local shops and Im so mad at myself for not doing so earlier. My husband stopped by and the owners were so nice. We ended up getting some fried chicken with the sides and a box of donuts. When we got home we were so pleasantly surprised at how good the fried chicken was, it was still hot and very crispy! And as for the donuts they were so good as well! Its very nice to know that they make it fresh daily! Definitely need to ch

The donuts were amazing. Makes you want to eat 2 instead of one. Excellent chicken. The meat was perfect and it was nice and crispy on the outside.

I LOVE this place! We moved to the neighborhood not too long ago. I stopped by next door at the Mexican store to grab some things and decided to get a donut. And I am so GLAD I did! I had no idea they sold fried chicken too. Let me tell you, the chicken is soooo GOOD and the donuts and fresh and delicious. Took some chicken home for my partner and he LOVED it so much. We come here all the time now. I like to sit down eat a chicken tender, fresh hot coffee and donut holes. The staff is really nice and polite

We went to have their really good chicken at 11:45am we wanted coleslaw and potato wedges also. We were told they were out of coleslaw and potatoes I ask if they could make more potatoes, knowing coleslaw take more time, she said no. Super disappointed in her answer so we left. They haven't even gone into their lunch run and they are out of food and won't make anymore. It's hard for me to understand how they wouldn't make more. Regardless we probably won't go back.

If you?re looking for the perfect donut and a side of warm, genuine hospitality, look no further. Their donuts are nothing short of spectacular?soft, fresh, and with just the right amount of sweetness. Whether you?re into classic glazed or something more adventurous, every bite is a delight, with each flavor as delicious as the last. But what really sets this place apart is that they don?t stop at donuts; the fried chicken here is just as incredible! Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, i

We love this place. Great roasted chicken and even better donuts. Always a favorite when we're in Arizona.

Everytime we go to Queens to get birthday donuts for our kids we are greeted with such kindness. The donuts are delicious and she always throws in some donut holes for a birthday surprise! Highly recommend if you are on the west side!

I have never had a better time buying donuts! This small, local donut shop is a true ace in the hole! Serving more than donuts! You can get the most delicious chicken. Made to order! Made fresh donuts every morning with a monstrous size and taste that doesn't reflect on your budget! I can't express how much I love this place. The locals make it a friendly, funny and lively atmosphere that's just amazing. My last visit I was joking and laughing with everyone in the store. We were all trying to get the last 2

Donuts are amazing! Chicken is delicious and moist. The owner is very nice!

We stop year at least a couple times each year on our annual Tucson visit to see my parents. Good doughnuts and super friendly people.

Oh My Goodness! These may be the most delicious doughnuts I have ever had. Fresh, soft and sweet. We are definitely going to try the chicken next!

Great chicken and donuts. The old fashioned donuts are some of the best we've had. The yeasty ones were ok, but nothing great. Chicken was great but could have used more seasoning in the batter. A solid chicken and donuts choice. Owner was lovely.

My hubby and I have been going there for over 4 years and we LOVE this donut/fried chicken place!!!! The donuts are so soft and delicious! The owners are very attentive to each individual customer.......They are true people pleasers. The chicken is delicious too!!!!! We just love this little place!

We love their chicken! The donuts are delicious too. New hours posted so check it out before going.

These donuts might not look like much and it's just a basic hole in the wall of a place but my god are they good. I went on a cross country road trip and stumbled upon this place - some of the best donuts I've had in the whole country! (Definitely the best *classic* donuts.) If you're in Tucson I recommend stopping here on your way to/from Saguaro National Park West!

I go in this place at least twice a month for a dozen of donuts and they are amazing and as for their chicken I love it too so tender and good plus the potato wedges to. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Plus it's family owned and they are always so kind to everyone.

Buttermilk doughnuts are the best in town.. very kind and polite staff..

You would not expect this unassuming little donut shop in a strip mall outside of Tucson to have the BEST DONUTS in Tucson. But, it certainly does! Always fresh, always well filled, Queens donuts is worth the small drive. (Yeah, we've had Amy's Donuts, but Queens blows them away. Sincerely.) Don't sleep on the chicken! Idk if it's the broasting process or their seasoning but this is the most flavorful chicken in the Tucson valley. Chicken and waffles? Nah, I'll take Queens Donuts and Chicken any day over c

YES this establishment is a bit pricey but is WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!.... THE Doughnuts ???? Chicken ?? are ~~ ALWAYS ~~ ~~ FRESH ~~ ~ N ~ ~~ AMAZING ~~ They always greet us/smiling ?? & make you feel WELCOMED. If you haven't tried you're missing out... Tell them Tricia sent you.... Enjoy

Love it here! The donuts are always fresh and even if I buy a dozen on the 3rd day they taste and smell just as good! The ladies always greet you with a smile and treat you like family, I love walking in and seeing the older generation coming here to have donuts and coffee, it's like the hangout place, like a Starbucks for the older generation. I've walked in and seen girlfriends exchanging gifts and it's just the cutest thing! I hope I have a place like this when I retire to hang out with the girls???? a

The BEST chicken in town! A must try if you are the mood for fried chicken. Technically it is broastered chicken, so it come out crispy, moist, and delicious every time. Their chicken tenders are the only tenders my wife will eat. They also have delicious donuts and their costumer service is second to none. Please stop by and give it a try.

Yum! Excellent donuts. But the real treasure is the broasted chicken. Super friendly people in there, too. We probably go there more often than we should. But it's SO yummy.....

The best fried chicken and donuts in Tucson. The owners are so nice and welcoming. Our family has been coming here for years. My kids absolutely love it. I always recommend this spot!

Best fried chicken on the west side! And best in the city for the price!

Nice owner. Clean shop . Great food. Light doughnuts. Chicken not greasy. Fabulous.

Broasted chicken, crispy skin and moist delicious meat, don't forget the Broasted potatoes. Grab a awesome apple fritters for dessert. Best chicken in Tucson, hands down.Get plenty of take out chicken for later or you will regret.

Best Donuts and Fried Chicken in Tucson!!! Sue, the wonderful owner of Queen Donuts, remembered mine and my family?s names from our first visit. Our second time visiting, she called us each my name, and I noticed her doing the same throughout the line of costumers waiting. She makes her customers feel so loved and she?s always so generous with her portions she packs. The prices are excellent and I honestly mean it when I say they have the best Donuts in Tucson. They carry Broasters Fried Chicken- SO DELICIO

Best fried chicken and coleslaw in the cuty.And if you want fresh donuts this is your places..Prices are great and Chicken even better

Boom!!!!!! Best service, Best Chicken Tenders in ALL of Tucson! Hands down!!!! Just try them for yourself!

Fabulous place to go for both donuts and surprisingly, fried chicken. This is an excellent mom and pop operation. The owners are friendly and obliging. You can call in orders ahead of time. They do have some sides, but the chicken is definitely the main event. My mother is from Georgia, so I know what southern fried Chicken tastes like. It is with mixed emotions that I say that Queens donuts chicken is even better than my mother's. I highly recommend this enterprising small business.

Always treated great and served the best donuts this side of Tucson, the cole slaw is the best ever bought out somewhere. The chicken always good when you just don't want to cook.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Queens Donuts!! We have been coming to them for YEARS for donuts and chicken...they some of the nicest and most caring family we have EVER met...I just wish I could eat there all the time their donuts ?? are absolutely hands down the best!!!

My mother and went went to try the broasted chicken, it is amazing. The potato salad was really good as well. Sue was so friendly and kind as was Nana. They took great care and made us feel so appreciated. Definitely going back to this location soon.

I've had donuts from quite a few places here in Tucson and Queens is hands down the best! Sar and Sue are always the most friendly and appreciative people! It's absolutely worth the drive. Grab a few donuts, maybe some chicken too and go have a picnic in Tucson Mountain Park!

Hands down the best apple fritter I have ever eaten. I may have moaned when I took my first bite. The large fritter was crispy in all the right places, moist and soft where it matters most, and worthy of a ?happy food dance.? Pair so well with a cup of coffee or black tea. We moved into this area of town about 6 months ago and I?m mad I didn?t find this place sooner! I?ll be back to try the chicken. Edit: I went back for chicken. Very good.

The folks that own this business are possibly the friendliest people on the planet! The donuts and baked goods are done just right. We stop in for donuts and coffee every chance we get

Love this place. Everything is delicious. Thank you!

Hubs and I went there for the very first time today. It IS such a great place! The woman (I'm assuming is the owner) such a wonderful spirit! She knows everything AND makes you feel great! The fried chicken is delicious & can't wait to go back and try one of those mouth watering looking donuts. I wouldn't even think about going there I'd just gooooooo!!!!! Take the leap you'll see how wonderful it is.

Yumm! The smells hit you as soon as you walk in! And believe me the food is as good as it smells

Honestly, it?s the best fried chicken in Arizona little hole in the wall place amazing chicken pretty good donuts too, but I don?t have a sweet tooth ..

The absolute best donuts in Arizona!

Love the couple that works in here! Always friendly and the broasters chicken they make is by far the best fried chicken I have ever had! I recommend their sugar and glazed donuts as well as their apple fritters and cinnamon swirl donut. I love this place!

I wish I could give 10 stars!! Sue is an absolute angel! She gives the warmest, friendliest greetings and always remembers my name and family! Not to mention- the donuts are heavenly! So soft and fresh every time. Also, fried chicken! Yes, fried chicken! Couldnt believe the taste and quality. We took some to-go and had it for dinner the next day. Never once have I been dissatisfied with anything I have ordered. This is the type of business we need to support in our community. Make it a point to support lo

Sue is a breath of fresh air. She cares about every person who walks thru their doors and that is probably why their food is so amazing. Donuts are fresh and chicken is amazing.

This is a great place to grab some broasted chicken and a fresh donut. This seems to be a mom and pop shop that is well run, and well priced. I really enjoy their hot sauce on my chicken . I always top it off with what seems to be, a fresh donut.

Best chicken we have ever had. Donuts are great, too. This is truly a hidden gem. Owners are super nice.

This is the best place for donuts in Tucson. They also have broasted chicken, wedge fries, potato salad and Cole slaw

Queen donuts are the best in town! We've been enjoying their made fresh daily donuts for 15 years now, and they are amazingly delicious. You can get a dozen donuts for $13 and some change, and they are worth every cent. Queen donuts is family owned, and they also serve incredible fried chicken, if you're in the mood for savory instead of sweet.

Easily the best fried chicken in Tucson! A hidden gem, a little out of the way but well worth the trip, you won?t be disappointed! No other place in Tucson comes close to Queen?s chicken, nobody!

Incredibly expensive donuts. It was $20 for a dozen!! They tasted good, but were definitely not worth the small fortune I was charged. The price sign on the wall says $8.99 for a dozen for "regular" donuts and $13.99 for "premium". But that was a lie. It's sad. I used to like this place but hadn't been for a few years. I won't be back.

Yeah they have good chicken and they make good donuts. Really this a classic price gouging operation. 17.00 dollars for a dozen donuts is absolutely ridiculous . 5.00 dollars for a breast of chicken 2.00 for a wing. 23.00 dollars for two wings and a dozen regular donuts. Unheard of. Beware when it says 13.99 it's a trick and sweet Suzy is a liar and as far as I'm concerned a thief. I'm not done with this operation I'm making phone calls to see if this is actually price gouging.

I'd like to give this place a 4 star rating for the food. However, it's a bit variable, and the prices are very high considering you might get a bad batch. It's a bad value when half of the food you ordered is inedible due to poor cooking or storage issues.

Been coming here for 22 years for donuts! Live in Wisconsin but when visiting we always come here! They are homemade every morning! Very good pricing! The lady is awesome! Best donuts i have ever had. Highly recommend!!!!

I absolutely love the chicken. It's by far the best chicken out there! Seriously. The donuts are too sweet for me but they seem to be very popular with the locals. The chicken tenders are a must have if you find yourself on this side of town.

If there was a higher rating I would give them a ten!! This place is run like a small independent business should be run. Not only great tasting donuts and other food items, but they truly appreciate your business. I feel like I am visiting family when I stop in. Amazon, Walmart, take note these folks know how to treat their customers!!

Best fried chicken!! Very tasty potato salad and creamy coleslaw. Yummy donuts too. This place is a gem.

Great local doughnut shop wroth driving too if you are not local ( I do 30 min one way). Owners are very friendly and the doughnuts area always fresh. I recommend always adding an apple fritter.

One of the best sour cream donuts I've had. Apple fritter was first rate. Thank you for making my morning.

It's a long drive from NW side of Tucson but worth every minute it takes to get there. We're from Minnesota and broasted chicken up there is fabulous. Didn't think we'd ever taste anything as good down here in Tucson. Boy were we wrong! Queen Donuts has absolutely fantastic chicken and the donuts melt in your mouth. I'm drooling just writing this!

Blueberry filled doughnuts and broasters chicken I love this place. If you never have had the chance to taste the chicken here it it's in my humble opinion the best chicken in Tucson. Try it and then you'll be finding any reason to drive there.

Best donuts and do not forget the broasted chicken. It is the best. Normally I am not a fan of bone in chicken but give me some of these tender juicy morsels and I am so happy. Worth the drive. Yum!

A rare locally owned mom & pop chicken and doughnut place. Awesome broasted chicken and awesome doughnuts. If either were healthy, we would go there every day. Husband and wife owners are super friendly. Worth a side trip when visiting Desert Museum or for a no-frills destination meal. Dining area is by no means fancy, yet gets the job done.

The donuts were AMAZING!!! WOW! SO GOOD! I am visiting from Missouri and my stop here made it all worth while. The lady behind the counter was so helpful and just an absolute pleasure to do business with

A perfectly run privately owned old fashioned donut shop. Everything is delicious! The owner also makes absolutely delicious chicken too...equally delicious! Always cheery and friendly.

This place is amazing. I feel it's the best chicken in town. It also makes me wish I was hungry again because they just brought out more chicken and I'm full

When my husband and I visit Tucson from Wisconsin, visiting this store is a "must-do". The donuts are excellent and there is always a good variety (providing we get there early). The store owners are friendly and pleasant people. If you are in the neighborhood, make this a stop.

I'm giving 5stars to the ??!! I have yet to try the chicken. It's nice n cool & clean. I paid 12$ n some change for half a dozen & a dozen of donut holes. It's close to my community as well so can't go wrong(:

Since my latest visit I have found this little chicken shack can't seem to keep up with the demands for their awesome chicken. The Mrs make a wonderful chicken and fantastic coleslaw but she must go home sometime. So, after she leaves the husband cant keep up. If you want it great again you may have to wait abt 20 minutes if you go after 5pm. Place is hidden gem. Doughnuts are great. And they have great fried chicken too! Almost dont want to share, lol.

Absolutely amazing service! The owner is so sweet and friendly! Great coffee and amazingly delicious donuts! I had a wonderful time, thank you! :)

Awesome chicken and donuts! And not only is the food great but the people who work there are SO pleasant and happy! I love going here!

Great donuts, and chicken is extremely delicious. Everything is fresh. Great customer service and friendly atmosphere. Try it you'll like it.

Great chicken, lots of flavor and fried just right. Haven?t tried the donuts yet but they looked amazing. Extremely friendly service!!

I love Queens donuts!! The workers are so nice accommodating. Best donuts in town. And the fried chicken alone is worth the trip! Delicious place

They have the very best fried chicken that you have ever had in your life! Broasted chicken and they serve a full chicken breast not have chicken breas that all of the fast food places serve now and it is worth the drive it's on Kinny by Tucson Estates

Love this place, chicken and the donuts are the best. We drive clear cross town just to eat here.

My husband delivered some goods today. The lady gave him donuts, he brought some home and now we are planning a date. They were absolutely delicious ??

There not open. We drive 30 mins to get this supposedly great chicken and donuts but instead wasted an hour of my day. Thanks you!

Great service with friendly conversation. I enjoy 2 thighs, potato salad, a drink and a donut. Affordable. You can sit inside or outside. Even a place to plug in your phone. Shuttle/bus stop is out front.

Always yummy! Great little car show today and fantastic smell of chili's roasting in the parking lot! MMM!

I am not kidding when I say this, I have had fried chicken from every corner of this country. And this place's chicken is the best I have ever had. Best kept secret of tucson estates. And they're friendly too!!

Fantastic donuts especially the cream filled long johns and fritters. The fried chicken is the best I've ever had so moist on the inside.
