J J Donut Shop — Restaurant in Grand Prairie

I have been coming to this donut shop for years, well before 161 was built. I live in Arlington and worked in Dallas, so I used to stop in before I got to work. The two ladies working in front have always been gracious, kind, and efficient. My favorite item is the pig-in-a-blanket, and I usually buy at least two dozen.

And their cheese piggies, such a great taste to start your day. The current owner has watched all my children grow from babies and constantly asks about their well-being. When I first found them, they were great, and they were smart enough to leave it alone for 30 years to...

I love their donuts, but I've been treated very poorly and unfriendly everytime I walk in though. Today I was called "nasty" by their employee working there and they shrugged it off like that never happened. I have gone at least 10 times the last 3 months and every time the employees will be like it was their usual attitude to be towards me that way. I really don't like getting my day started that way by going to this shop. So I started using Uber for them just to avoid the...
