Editorial Review for Donut Man – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This cash-only doughnut stand draws legions of suburbanites, softball teams and college kids to a stretch of old Route 66. Assembled before patrons' eyes, warm glazed doughnuts are split open and heaped with mounds of locally grown strawberries or peaches, dripping with a glaze made from their own juices. Simple cake doughnuts with rainbow sprinkles have a nutmeg zing, and cinnamon rolls have a buttery, sugary crunch.

Insider Tips
When to GoDonut Man does its baking in the wee hours of the morning, so show up before 8am for first crack at the selection. Come even earlier, and doughnuts will still be hot.
The ExtrasAfter midnight, bakers will usually let customers create their own doughnuts. Tell them what kind to start with--cake or glazed--and what you'd like added, from cream filling to chopped nuts.

Is this the same place that in the late 70's made the BEST buttermilk bars? I remember going late night when they were fresh out of the fryer.

Strawberry Doughnuts... I rest my case your honor. Holy moly I don't think they can make a bad doughnut here. It's funny to see that they're building a Gym right nextdoor...is that a hint? Bear Claws and Apple Fritters the size of your head...Chocolate and Maple bars are a foot long. Even the donut holes are big. FYI - No seating, which is not big deal, you'll finish your doughnuts before you reach your car. Dear God, please grant the donut man an unnaturally long life for all the good he's brought into this world.
Pros: The Strawberry donut at $2.50 is a meal in itself.
Cons: Closed on New Year's Day & Christmas...let's work on that.
