Customer Reviews

Wow just wow. Don?t miss this place when in Ponca City. So many delicious choices, so reasonable priced, super friendly service and oh so delicious donuts. Cut little eat in area or spot on their patio. Old fashioned and family run this donut shop is a long time community staple and a recommended stop when in or near this area.

Best donuts sandwiches and soup This is a must to stop by in ponca city area. I drive 13 mins 1 way to get what I need

The BEST place in Ponca City for delicious homemade donuts, cinnamon rolls, breads, and more! Turtles is a Ponca City staple not only for a quick and yummy breakfast, but they also have an incredible selection of sandwiches, soups and salads for lunch. The location is decorated so cute and offers seating inside. There is also a drive-thru option which is very convenient!

The donuts and pastries have a freshness a step above other donuts. The simple chocolate cake donuts have a deep cocoa flavor to go with the icing. Fritters and Turnovers are my favs!

?Donut? is literally in the name of the business, yet they had no donuts at 1 pm today, and the posted hours read that they close at 2 pm, yet the doors were locked at 1:50 pm (when I returned on attempt to purchase a sandwich for someone else).

Hands down best doughnuts EVER! Highly recommend!

Fun little spot. Good prices. Friendly. Great donuts.

It?s delicious before you even get inside. Service is impeccable. Store is very clean and welcoming.

I'm not sure how many places there are in Ponca City but I'm not worried about it as long as turtles is open

Pretty restaurant, friendly customer service. We came here because everyone recommended the biscuits and gravy. It all depends on your preference, but the gravy did not have any sausage in it, and to me that was disappointing, however I realize that some people prefer it that way.

Turtles is our go to for my kids and I. We love all their donuts especially the old fashion cake donuts! Always fresh and always treated kindly even our dogs get treats!

Love to eat here! It?s always a treat for myself, breakfast or lunch. My favorite lunch is the roast beef and cheddar on fresh, homemade wheat bread. Half or whole (half is usually enough, but always go whole.). I tried something new today, trying to be ?good?, I stole the idea from another to get a ?chicken-salad salad?. Did not disappoint! Thankful to places that offer healthier options. The service, as always, AMAZING!

The staff here is amazing and very kind! I ordered a custom Father?s Day donut box and they did great! They are extremely fair priced and I recommend this shop!

Today was my first time going to this donut shop and let me tell you, they have the kindest people and customer service I?ve ever had. And their donuts are to die for. They are so soft and just melt in your mouth. My mom was not playing when she said they?re so addictive. Thank you so much for the amazing donuts and the amazing service!! I?ll have to come back soon!!

We go to Turtles every time we go to Ponca. Go early if you want donuts. Because they do sell out!

Turtle's donut has always had amazing donuts, and other breakfast and lunch items. All of the employees are always so friendly and helpful when my wife and I stop in for some food.

These were the best donuts I've ever had in my life it was the first time I've ever had Donuts so I guess I'll be going back tomorrow to see if there any better the next day

Last weekend my mom and I stopped in Turtle's Donut Shoppe. They had wonderful, delicious donuts, sausage roll and coffee and the most excellent customer service! I'm so glad I brought some donuts back home for my son and husband, as they raved how yummy their donuts were. Next time I'm in Ponca City, I'm definitely going to Turtle's Donut Shoppe!

If i am craving doughnuts this is where i go. Best everything. My kid loves stopping in too.

Closed. Good donuts, though! Need to update the hours for holidays.

Always love going to Turtle's because I feel it's the best doughnut shop in town. All the items I've sampled I have thoroughly enjoyed. At times, I 've been there near closing time, and there's not much selection left (my fault). Haven't tried some of the lunch items, but I'm thinking seriously about it. Service is prompt and willing to do what needs to be done to satisfy the customer (add filling, filling phone pre- orders, etc)

Best breakfast in kay county!!!

The chocolate on chocolate cake donuts are my husband's favorite. Soup and sandwich meals are always good for lunch too.

Always a family favorite?one of our favorite spots in Ponca and reasons we visit!

They run out of donuts ?? they are that good. Go early. We went at close. They had just made a second batch of donuts and they were almost sold out again. Fantastic place!!!

OMG! Absolutely delicious! Convenient drive thru, fast service, friendly staff and melt in your mouth warm glazed donuts. I'd take a warm glazed donut here over Krispy Kreme any day and I love Krispy Kreme!

The best donuts available. Always fresh and always delicious. Great staff. Very pleasant and friendly environment. Very clean inside. Absolutely great all around. If you haven't had Turtles donuts you are missing out.

Went there, asked which was the best sandwich. Lady didn't know, asked her boss, he said chicken salad. I get the chicken sandwich. Worst I've ever had. So salty.....taste like only chicken, mayo, garlic, salt and pepper! Maybe owner needs to taste his food! Couldn't even eat it! Worst $6.00 I've ever spent on food!

Packed full of people waiting in line, all the way to both doors. If you have panic attacks, my opinion is don't come here at 8am.... Holy shnikeys, batman, I can't breathe in here!! Also, just gonna say, men and women, stop bathing in your perfumes and colognes and going to confined places!!! Y'all gotta be flammable lol Dang it! Service lady was amazing, but the donuts taste like dirty, several day old, oil

Good food ,fresh chicken salad is my favorite lots to pick from for the right price and fast and friendly service..??

I tried out Turtles today and was hoping it lived up to the hype. I DID NOT get donuts but instead got a sausage roll. It was burned to a crisp. It was like eating a Taquito with a sausage inside. I took one bite and spit it out. Ended up wasting my money. I am super bummed because I had heard GREAT things. Back to Dalight and Donut Palace for me.

First time ever trying this, and it was amazing. Lady working the front was very sweet

Absolutely the BEST donuts I have ever had used to come every weekend till I moved still occasionally come worth the drive

Excellent experience for a donut shop

The place every traveler wants to find. The secret gem in a town. Nothing special about the building. It's not showy or commercial, but the baked goods are unreal! Thanks Turtles for putting great stuff out there!

They sell good doughnuts for a reasonable price. Its only held down by the small size of the resteraunt which is often crowded due to service being moderately slow when compared to how many people eat there in the mornings.

Favorite donut shop in town! Always fresh, always friendly . Great selection of other food as well. Very happy ??

They have the best doughnuts and cinnamon rolls around. I regularly drive 1.5 hours just to get a box!

I've been eating @ Turtles since high school. The BBQ beef sandwich is my favorite! The chocolate donuts arent bad either. Still a morning staple to start the day.

Love this place! Best doughnuts EVER! The staff are always welcoming, friendly and helpful.

This place not only has great food hit the staff goes above and beyond to get you what you want. Highly recommend. Accommodating and very professional

I love the shop and the sandwiches and dounuts

Best Donut shop in Ponca city! Donuts are always fresh and their iced coffee is delicious! Their lunch is great as well! Love this place!

Great lil shop! Friendly service. Fantastic donuts. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars, they don't open until 6

Always fast, friendly service. And the best ham and cheese sandwich around.!

Really disappointed, I paid $4 for a burned kolache. I will try again a different a different day for the donuts though, I've heard great things!

Outstanding service and donuts, plus a whole lot more!!

Excellent donuts, locally owned business, great family! No better donut shop around.?

Good sandwiches. Often generous, but not always. Generally quick service, with small dining area. Popular with local community.

Woke up with a donut craving, was deciding between all of the local donut shops. Glad I decided on turtles! So good!

The shining jewel of Ponca City. Best donuts. Get there early cause they go fast. Everything there is great and the owner is amazing.

Good donuts and friendly service. They also have other breakfast items available.

Turtle's donuts are amazing. At work, when breakfast is provided, the first question is always, is it Turtle's. That sums up the quality of their food in my opinion.

Good donuts, friendly staff and good prices. The bigger donuts (fritters and bear claws) are not always done in the middle.

Cutest little donut shop!! Yummy food and super nice people! ??

First time here this place is great! Exactly how donut should be they are light and fluffy and delicious!

Try the Apple fiddlers. They are delish. Also the bear claws. Yum. Everyone likes turtles. They a home town donut shop with love in it.

Excellent donuts. Best in the area.i recommend the maple long John with marshmallow creme filled

Excellent donuts. I think they're the best in town.

I waited for several minutes all the while noting that the pastry display case was virtually empty; one small tray of undersized doughnuts. I left without ordering.

The donuts are amazing as well as the prices! Definitely recommend this place!

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Great customer service, the donuts are great, and it's conveniently right next to the highschool.

Love the food and the breads. The soup and sandwiches are fresh and delish. Along with friendly atmosphere.

Best donuts in the world. No joke, never had any anywhere near this good.
