Jack's Donuts Southport Road — Restaurant in Indianapolis

I never thought I would say this, as for decades I have listed "Jacks Donuts" as one of the things I want on my last day... but I continue to be disappointed. Having grown up in 70s just around corner from Jacks in Sunnyside, it is in my blood.

I simply want a couple of white iced rolls, most of the time. I've stated that when you put them in a bag, especially with other iced ones, it's a total mess. Last time I asked for box so icing would not get totally wiped off, they charged me $1 for the box.

This is in addition to their spotty availability, and very wide quality control variance issues they have at this location. Next time I am around Lee Marcum I will give him my...

I like Jack's Donuts. Fast, easy, good. They have a nice variety, and some crazy ones like Fruity Pebbles Cinnamon Roll, or Iced Blueberry, but mostly they just make a good donut well. It's close, convenient, and uses Square so I don't have to have cash, which I appreciate about them. Nice chairs too. They recently added fancy Café drinks, but I've not tried any, seem too sweet for me. The Pacers Blend is a good morning coffee, nothing fancy, but not burnt and not gross. Service is fine and friendly, they don't rush you at all and answer questions well enough. I would not go out of my way for Jack's, but I also wouldn't go out of my way to avoid it, it's better...

Donuts taste fresh (and bigger compared to most), employees are always kind, and for the most part the place is fairly clean (there have been a few occasions where tables were grubby). We love having a local donut shop! If we're not in a rush, though, we always hit up Longs Bakery (even though they're much further). Not that Jacks is bad but rather, a little more expensive. I don't know how but I feel like we spend almost $20 for 4-5 donuts for 2. Also, much less options which isn't a deal breaker, but when running out of your favorite donut, you tend to go where they have more choices and where it's...
