Customer Reviews

Really enjoy this local doughnut shop! The Key Lime doughnut was really good! Honestly all were very good. Doughnuts are reasonably priced. The service was friendly. Not much seating. I?d say this is a take it to go place.

Best donuts the maple bacon is my favorite hard to find good one they have the best. These are my favorites and they have many more ? but it?s a maple bacon, glaze, chocolate glaze, apple fritter( also just amazing) and blueberry cake donut. They?re always so great I have to get a box.

PHENOMENAL! I crave these donuts. I've been to DD and the others in town and they dont hold a candle to these. You can taste the freshness. The cream cheese frosted one is amazing. Just plain glazed are fantastic. My Dad loves them so much I have to buy extra because he asks for one everyday. A+

Great donuts!!!! We was in town from Indiana and I wanted a donut best decision ever! Every single donut we ate was excellent and fresh!! If you want fresh donuts with a variety this is your place??

Wow. What a spectacular experience! The donuts are freshly made from scratch and you can tell as soon as you bite into one. The service is amazingly friendly. This is worth a drive in from afar just to have the experience. My favourite donut shop in Canada and the US! Come early though as they will always sell out!

The donuts are amazing! The service was absolutely perfect. You can't not try the food here. Warning: You won't go anywhere else for donuts after eating theirs. And, it's so clean!

Holy Moses!!!!!! I never thought I would find a doughnut shop that was as good or even equivalent to Red?s in Paducah HOWEVER I finally have! These doughnuts by far exceeded my expectations. The Keylime pie melted in my mouth!!! I went three days in a row ?? the staff is phenomenal! My new fav place

Loved stopping in for a few donuts. These guys are the real deal in the donut business. Apple fritters are excellent but that Raspberry Glazed Coconut Long John stole the show.

This was my first time coming to Southern Glazed Donuts and it was great. Everyone in the family loved it, and the atmosphere was great. Definitely made a rough morning a lot better.

By far the best donuts on the planet. I drive a hour 3 times a week to get there glazed chocolate frosted.

Southern Glazed Donuts are so delicious and the staff are so kind and friendly! Definitely Recommend this donut place!!

DELICIOUS! This is a wonderful donut shop, they are always fresh and taste yummy! Highly recommend! The owner is also very kind every time we visit! We enjoy the cake glazed donuts, traditional iced donuts, apple fritters a lot!

Hands down, BEST donuts I have ever had. My friend and I travel around and always try local donuts wherever we go. We've made it to most donut places within a two mile radius of Dayton and Cincinnati. We went to Southern Glazed almost a year ago and to this day, we still talk about those donuts. We live around an hour away so it's not an easy place to get to for donuts but we have said we will plan a trip just to get more of these donuts. The donuts are fresh, tasty, and interesting. The donut is soft and w

This place is awesome! The employees are super friendly and the donuts are amazing!! We have traveled all over and this donut shop rates in the top 10!!! If you?re in the area, make sure you stop in and get some!!

Great donuts and fantastic service. Will return whenever possible.

Most friendly owner/staff!! If you?re looking for doughnuts this is the place to go. Quick in and out. The lot is a pain to park in but otherwise it is always a great experience. Great selection

These are the best donuts in town by a lot. . Perfect taste and texture and very fairly priced. We love coming here once a weekend.

Fantastic doughnuts!!! The cream cheese are outstanding.

Wonderful quality donuts. I took a couple for the road and they were equally great the second day. Service was wonderful. I came in 15 minutes before close and accidentally requested a flavor they didn't have. The person working offered to make it right away. Could not recommend more!

Best donuts I've ever had. Soft and melt in your mouth! The seasonal pumpkin donut was delicious.

Very fresh donuts! The Bavarian cream was top-notch!

Amazing Donuts. Possibly the best I've ever had in my travels. Simultaneously they melt in your mouth, yet have some substance to chew on. Flavors are remarkable. The staff is friendly, efficient, and caring. The business is clean and welcoming. Worth a special trip, from anywhere in the area. Get there before they run out. The place just keeps getting better Edit: (And they *keep* getting better! The flavors of the month are Amazing! [Wish they had an Ale81 flavor]) Parking is tight, so it's worth it f

Delicious donuts everytime. Easily the best place in town. The only place I go to for donuts. 10/10

I really wanted to like this place. The service was pretty rude. I walked in, said hello, and told them it was my first time. I asked him for one of each kind and he didn't flinch. He said which one?.I said one of each kind. I repeated myself maybe 3 times and with his straight face?.I finally read out some doughnuts names on the labels??we don?t have that one?. So?overall, I wish they could?ve been a lot more helpful and maybe a pinch kinder. All their specials were out and their doughnuts mislabeled.

I was asked to try the caramel iced apple doughnut and I am so glad that I did. It was not overly sweet 6 seconds in the microwave made it a perfect warm apple treat. I will definitely be back again soon. The service is wonderful too.

Not only the best donut place in town, Southern Glazed is the best donut place in the whole USA! I loveeee their cream cheese donuts, my husband would have them filled with custard for me! Double yum! Just had their flavor of the month donut: pineapple whip.... OMG YES! Check them out, you will not regret!

The customer service is great and the donuts are even better!!!! Be sure to try out the flavor of the month. This month's is blueberry lemonade...wow!! One of my favorite donuts is blueberry, but this takes it to another level. Definitely recommend.

What a great donut shop in Georgetown! Inside is inviting and clean! First time going so I wanted to try them all! And let me say all of them were 5 stars!!! They had the staple flavored donuts but my favorites were the cake donut with lemon icing and the blueberry donut was so good! I highly recommend this local donut shop!

We are new to town and we were in search of a good donut place. Wow, I don?t think I?ve had this good a doughnut in years. I think they have ruined me for any other donut place. Simply the freshest and most sinful donuts I have ever had. Hard to pick my favorite, but the strawberries and cream cake donut is to die for.

I'm not a huge donut person, but their cream cheese donut, supposedly their best seller, was amazing! My mom and husband consider themselves donut connoisseurs and they said they were some of the best they've had! Staff was extremely friendly and efficient.

They are the quintessential small town donut shop. The donuts are fresh each day but you'd better get there before 9:30. Though they say they're open till 11 they always sell out. I've yet to have a donut there that I didn't like. The Apple fritters are out of this world and the bear claws are to fight for. If you lose the fight console yourself with a chocolate covered Long john. If you're running late in the morning make sure to call and he'll put some aside for you.

If you want the best and absolute fresh donuts then you need to come visit this amazing place. I stopped over early Saturday morning and picked up a dozen of donuts and they were absolutely amazing and I?m from Cincinnati Ohio and these donuts are worth the drive.

My cousin and I stopped into Southern Glazed Doughnuts this morning and what an amazing experience we had ! We where greeted by the owners as we entered the bakery and it just got better from there . They where so friendly and fun and the doughnuts! Oh the doughnuts, AMAZING! Before we had the first box gone we where already talking about going back for more ! I highly recommend stopping in and this months special kind is Pumpkin and they are fantastic! Thank you from the MI Lady?s !

THE BEST DONUT SHOP IN THE GEORGETOWN KENTUCKY AREA!!! Absolutely the best variety and they are always consistently sold out! Because of my schedule I always seem to get there after 10:30am, which due to all those standing in line earlier in the morning (can?t blame them) leaves slim pickings. The fritters, lemon filled and the sour cream donuts are my personal favorites, although I do admit to trying all of his varieties at least once. Your missing out of Georgetown?s Best Kept Secret. But that?s okay

Y?all. This is the place you will wake up craving. I love the end of the week when I know they?re open both because it means it?s almost the weekend and because they?re worth the wait. If you get a chance - try them. You won?t be disappointed!

Love the doughnuts. It is no wonder that Southern Glazed stays slammed busy because their doughnuts are so good. A friend visited us this weekend and I had to take him to get a couple of Long Johns and apple fritters. Everything is excellent.

AMAZING DONUTS!! A MUST STOP!!! Not only was the gentleman extremely friendly! But he was quick to offer to go into the back to make us strawberry jelly filled donuts! They do close at 11am and he even allowed us to enter and order 5-10 minutes after 11am! The donuts are SUPER FRESH AND DELICIOUS!!!!

Place is absolutely awesome. Atmosphere is great the minute you walk in. Prices are phenomenal. Was told I?d love the chocolate glaze cream filled. Finished it 5 minutes ago and here I am writing a review about it. Godly. Can?t wait to go back tomorrow. Awesome people

By far the BEST donuts in town!! We have tried them all and seriously nothing compares to Southern Glazed! Not only are their donuts the best but so is their customer service! We won?t go anywhere else!

I?m normally so picky about my donuts, these are to die for! MELT in your mouth! The owners and workers are incredibly friendly too. I know where I?ll be getting my donuts!!!! Yum!

Best place in town to get donuts. We stop every friday before school and absolutly LOVE the monthly special donut. The guys who work here are absolute saints my kids love that they include them in conversation.

I love this shop. Friendly service, melt in your mouth doughnuts, and flavors you won't find anywhere else! And a great location!!;

On a family road trip and stopped in. We were very pleased with the wonderful customer service and quality of their donuts! Highly recommend

Great donuts and friendly staff! Donuts even hold up three days later. Will be back next time we are through town!

We had Southern Glazed donuts for my son and DIL?a wedding this past June. We did a donut wall and all the donuts were delicious and all our guests loved them.

We stopped in to try the new donut shop. We were pleasantly surprised by friendly staff and great selection. If you are in Georgetown, get a donut or a dozen. You won't br disappointed.

Everyone needs to make this a stop when they are in Georgetown. The guys were so welcoming and friendly. The donuts were oh so amazing! Thank you for making this an awesome small town donut shop! ??

Delicious donuts and wonderful service. The lemon glazed donut was incredible! A new favorite flavor

Very nice and friendly folks at this place. Doughnuts are great and really inexpensive.

It's good to see a Phoenix rise from the ashes, they're under new ownership but with the same great donuts. The kid inside of me and the fatman on the outside couldn't be more ecstatic.

Amazing doughnuts. I've been to multiple states and tried so many but these are so good, the dough is light and the fillings and icing so good.

I found this hidden gem today while driving around , the staff was so friendly and didn't hesitate to answer my questions the donuts where delicious will definitely be back.

This place is clean and inviting. The taste and quality of the products here are phenomenal. I just wish they were open more than just 3 days a week.

Simply the best! Hands down the most incredible donuts around! Try a caramel long john or an apple fritter; you will not be disappointed!

Great prices, and a wide variety to choose from. The orange juice donuts are our favorites. Highly recommend....
