Honey Dip Donuts

Yoooo I am not a fan of basic eggs but there was something different about this diner’s eggs. I ate every last bite of my meal. The eggs had a very fresh particular flavor. I ended up adding hot sauce on top and it made it even better!!! I also had the French toast which was delicious as well. Furthermore I had a twist donut. I know I’m a pig! But everything was good. And my meal was only 9 and some change. This mom and pop diner is older but don’t underestimate it! And the customer service was great! I will definitely be back!

My first time here and this place feels like home. It’s a cozy diner-​like restaurant with interesting menu items. The wait was a bit longer than I liked but I got here at a busy time (Saturday lunchtime) so I didn’t really mind. I’m a donut addict so when I saw that they served the donut sandwich, I immediately knew what I wanted to order. They also have donut burger and other delicious breakfast dishes that I would try during my next visit. Oh and free refills on the coffee, which is super nice!

Stopped by today (a Saturday) at 10:45am and they were out of donuts. Even more frustrating, when the guy in front of me asked the staff about this, they explained that they ‘always sell out on game day’. So they knew they’d sell out early, but didn’t stock extra? I get selling out close to the end of business hours, but before 11am is insane, as well as bad business.

So this is a doughnut place. I stopped by today at 12:30 on a Saturday to get a half dozen doughnuts. When I walked in there wasn’t a doughnut to be found. Seeing they were going to be open for 2 more hours I thought surely they were in the process of making more; that was until I asked and was told no they were not going to sell anymore doughnuts since they sold out. Pretty pathetic. Guess I will be finding a more dependable doughnut place next time I want to buy doughnuts.

Honey Dip Donuts & Diner has a large and tasty selection of donuts. While none are particularly unique or exceptional, all of them are tasty (I’m particularly taken by the blueberry cake donut). The coffee is good too, and not too pricey.
One exceptional feature of Honey Dip is the service. It is always friendly and always accommodating. They take care of their customers when they can.
And that is where they lose a star: they are quite busy and crowded on the weekends after 9AM and relaxing with a good book, donut, and cup of coffee can be difficult. They serve other items at breakfast and lunch, and while I’ve rarely partaken in breakfast there, it was simply okay at a fair price. That doesn’t really explain the crowd, but I am guessing that this is a place that sits in the memories of many locals.
Grab a donut here. Just be sure to get there before the crowd.

Ive heard of this place, ive passed by it many times, but today I finally stopped in. I had the french toast, a coffee, and an apple fritter. All three were delicious. They have the complete diner feel with the flat top grill, and stools at the bar to sit at. The waitresses were awesome, and I chatted with a regular who was sitting beside me. Ill be back!
So Ive been back a few times, and they continue to do a great job. The staff are so friendly, Ive been exploring the menu, and Im still really satisfied with the food. I snagged one of those Donut breakfast sandwiches and my taste buds rejoiced. I believe Ive now had nine different donut flavors, and the fat kid inside of me is happy.

I stopped for a quick late lunch. Great service, good food. Get there early when the donuts are gone, they are gone

My husband has an addiction to donuts.
We’ve passed this place many a time, but just never had a reason to stop.
We decided that we finally want to stop and see if this place was really something special.
It’s a cozy little place to grab breakfast, coffee, donut, and read away your morning in the local newspaper.
We stopped here a little after lunch, so I wasn’t feeling too hungry, or adventurous, but a sprinkle donut channeling my inner child. did the trick. It’s not the best donuts in Columbus, but they’re good enough in my opinion.
I’m being extra nice on ratings, because I like these hole in the wall joints. They beat the hell outta Tim Hortons, or Dunkin anyday, and you won’t have some high school drop out giving you crappy customer service. That’s a plus in my books anyday.
I have decided, should I even feel the need to be in a Fat mindset, then I will indulge myself with that Paula Deen-​ish Hamburger Donut contraption. It’s calling me, but for another time and another day.
Coffee and donuts! A match made in heaven!

I’m surprised it took me so long to get to Honey Dip. Though I do get the impression that it’s something of a hidden gem. I had a pretty standard breakfast meal that was quite tasty. But beyond that, I had really great service, and the food was very affordable. I got a donut to go, and I managed to refrain from ordering one of the donut breakfast sandwiches… this time… However, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have to make one of those get in my stomach at some point in the future.

OMG! How have I lived in Upper Arlington and not know about this place?! Because I don’t go in donut shops that’s why! Not my thing except once a year on the 4^th of July I will eat at least 3 glazed donuts… But we do just about anything for our kids and they had their minds set on having donuts so we went in. I had no idea they served breakfast and lunch so I ordered a spinach, mushroom and cheddar omelet and it was amazing! But what really got me hooked was their breakfast potatoes! I have no idea how the donuts are but from the reviews they are very good but I can tell you the breakfast was amazing, the price is great and the service is good.

They’ve expanded from a donut only place to include breakfast and lunch but I’ve only ever stopped in to get donuts and go.
They have regular and fancy donuts. This is the only place I’ve come across that has a variety of filled donuts. Lemon, raspberry, jelly, and custard are flavors you’ll usually find.

Tim’s and Dunkin wish they had this kind of mojo. Believe the hype. If these master crafted donuts are this good, I’m sure the rest is amazing too. First visit, and I am sold!
If you’re a local, you want this place to be a secret. If you’re from another neighborhood, you’ll be cooking up all kinds of excuses to visit UA. For instance, Fancyburg is such a nice park, and Marc’s is great bargain grocery shopping.

This probably should have been my first review because it I just cannot say enough about this charming little diner that is just second away from where we live. We have been here well into the double digits and have never had a bad experience. I will say this though, the only thing I have ever got there and not liked was the chicken gyro and the cajun chicken gyro. I know, fool me once, but I guess I’m a glutton for both punishment and gyros.
I know in my Winking Lizard review I talked about saving 4 and 5 stars for more gourmet places and I am officially retracting that statement. The diner is right of Kenny Rd. and the large sign makes it hard to miss. The décor is relatively plain with some cliché signs saying «eat here diet home» and «every time I say the word diet I wash my mouth out with chocolate» and they’re totally campy and I love it. It’s not super kitsch because those are verbatim two of the maybe five signs. In addition there are two TVs at opposite ends of the diner, but it’s really all about the food.
For breakfast, I almost always get the chocolate chip pancakes and a side of bacon and maybe a donut as a primer. Perfection every time. Any egg dish is good too and the donuts can only described as divine.
Despite only being open until about 2:30, the Honey Dip is not a one trick pony and serves a mean lunch with the exception of the gyros as I mentioned above. The club is really good, it’s my girlfriend’s go to and I always hope that she doesn’t finish. As far as less standard fare is concerned, I’ve had the bacon cheeseburger with donuts for buns and it is as good as one would expect with my one complaint being that patty was way hotter than anything else and I kept burning my tongue, but it’s probably on me to learn some patience and restraint.
We will definitely be back, and soon!

Loved the Donut, Egg, Sausage breakfast sandwich. Donuts were delicious as well.

With a staff bubbling with Midwestern friendliness, an easy-​come-​easy-​go décor, garrulous blue-​collar regulars, and a 1950 road sign, Honey Dip would seem to have come straight from the classic road joints of Route 66, The Dixie Highway, the Atlantic. But it’s where it has always been ever since I can remember, in the fading clump of aging buildings, the working class enclave of Upper Arlington, on Kenny just near the start of Old Henderson Road.
The staff here makes the place. The waitress are sweet and have that stereotypical no-​nonsense thread in their personality that put me in mind of an old 1970 TV show «Alice». The other day a patron came in as I ate; he was cooking out at home it seemed, and asked for some lettuce that he had forgotten to get for a BLT. The staff gave him some. (Could that happen at Bob Evan?) I love a place with a community feel; it reminds me of Colin’s Coffee.
The donuts here are good if not a bit overpriced. As implied, it is a full service diner, something they added a few years ago. The food is pedestrian though, which is alright considering the decent price. It doesn’t have a wow factor, but it is eatable. My last trip I had pancakes and bacon. The pancakes were overcooked and under-​mixed; I could taste a bit of the powder. Their coffee, though standard for such a joint, is a little too weak and left a slight bitter aftertaste. The bacon was crispy. I have braved their donut egg sandwich and it is decent, though the novelty is not really to my taste. I haven’t had lunch here. They do close early, making them a bit of a bizarro Buckeye Donuts.
The staff is here is fast and hardworking; come here if you like a little the simple man, Americana culture.

I came to Honey Dip Donuts today for lunch because my co-​workers recommended their gyros to me. I had no clue a donut place also had breakfast, lunch and dinner all in one menu.
My reasoning for the three stars was that when I got my food, the box was all dirty with sauce on it and I had no bag to carry it in so my car got dirty from the take out box. Plus it’s my judgment of the food in general, I think Yanni’s definitely out does this place with the gyro but I was hungry and didn’t want to drive far from work for lunch, plus the price was very reasonable. So it did satisfy my hunger and that’s about it.
At least I came and and experienced it, I think that’s been my goal lately is just to try what people have recommended to me. My philosophy recently has been it’s always best to try something than assume anything about the place.

Now called the «Honey Dip Diner,» this place is a little gem in the Upper Arlington area.
I’ve been here a countless number of times because it’s in a very convenient location. I would keep coming back, though, even if it weren’t!
I’ve eaten at the counter, sat at a table, and gotten donuts to-​go. Each time, I’ve been very happy with my experience! Attentive service, delicious and reasonably priced food, a comfortable atmosphere.
I finally tried the buttermilk donut (after having tried pretty much all of the others, no shame!) and it was delicious! We got a dozen and, I have to say, I loved all of the donuts that I tried (jelly, lemon, sprinkled, buttermilk, chocolate longjohn, etc.)
Overall, this is a wonderful little place that I will keep returning to time and time again.

Another old classic in the Columbus breakfast scene, Honey Dip has been doing donuts since well before I existed, and with recent renovations to add sit down breakfast and lunch service, I suspect they’ll be around after I’m gone, too.
The selections aren’t anything crazy, but they do offer a couple of fairly unique breakfast treats — a buttermilk drop donut that manages to be savory, sweet, and a bit tangy at the same time, and flaky cinnamon twists made with wrapped and layered pastry dough.
A dozen of mixed donuts will run you about $ 10, depending what you’re interested in, and makes a nice surprise for your family or office in the morning.
I haven’t actually tried the new sit-​down menu yet, but that’ll happen sooner or later, I’m sure.

This diner has cheap and fresh donuts! It has a lot of charm. The owners are quite nice and gave a lot of suggestions for what to try. Warning… you will want to try everything.
I ended up buying a box of donuts to take home with me…

I can’t claim to be a donut fanatic. In order of my preferences it goes; (1) old fashioned plain; (2) old fashioned sugar; (3) glazed and finally; (4) jelly-​filled. Honey Dip Donuts makes all four and they meet the expectations of my palate.
What I really enjoy are the breakfasts at HDD. They’ve only been serving breakfasts for a little more than 4 months, I believe, and twice I’ve eaten here. The special is under $ 8 and you get two eggs, hash browns, meat, toast and coffee. The potatoes are rough cut and very good. The sausage patties (my preference) are thick and large. The special is just really, really good. And to top it off I watched as the owner and part-​time short order cook ate a breakfast sandwich (Mickey Dees can’t compete) that looked incrediblee.
There isn’t much room to eat as there don’t appear to be more than 10 or so tables equally divided between 4-​tops and 2-​tops. I eat at the diner counter making me feel like a true early riser breakfast eater. I’ll bet on weekends (they open at 6:30AM) the place is crowded and a tough seat between 7 — 10AM.
Honey Dip Donuts should be one of your early morning stops if you’re heading to a golf course or want to prep with a meal before that first-​of-​the-​day meeting. Good stuff!
