Dale's Donut Shop — Restaurant in Benton

Donuts must be good, but I’ll never know. My son and I drove from Hot Springs, and tried to call to see if we could make an order—or if not, just get some information. There is no information online about the place except the hours which said they’re open till 11:30. We called 10 times, and the line was busy every time. When we arrived 1 1/2 hours before closing the woman told my son there probably wasn’t anything left he would like and acted like we’d interrupted them putting away the donuts then said “you’re welcome” after I told my son we’d go somewhere else. So, I’m sure the donuts are good because they’re sold out. But it was frustrating to not be able to get any information online or by phone and then have the workers/owners whoever act like they didn’t care about our business anyway.

The whole point of placing an order is so they can make the order when u say u r going to be there to get it.

By the way dont plan on getting any donuts after 8am this week cuz kids r on spring break so they r out by 8am. So I asked could u not make anymore...since u r open for 3.5 more hours. They said no the sooner they run out of what they barely have, the sooner they can go home. They said they dont want to stay open until the time they r supposed to cuz then they dont get home until...

First time here. Counter service very friendly and helpful. Definitely good donuts and better than the average you will run across. They were not the yeast, doughy treats I was expecting, however. They were merely better than average donuts priced at a significant premium to their value. We selected an assortment of 6 donuts for a total bill of $11.00+. Might have been worth that if they were super donuts. If I returned I would stick with the glazed donuts as they were better than the twists, cinnamon roll or fritters that we got. They also cost much less. In summary....good donuts...
