Duck Donuts — Restaurant in North Myrtle Beach

Management of this location does not meet expectations. Long wait, inattentive, questionable integrity. But they sell donuts. 1st. the donuts are good. They offer a pretty good variety of topping options and are a satisfying indulgence. I am not a donut connoisseur, but they tasted like other donut shops I have been at. 2nd. the service was pretty pathetic. On the day of my visit there was a problem with the order printer not printing from the Order counter. Surprisingly, 1 manager and 3 employees didn't realize they had a problem despite 25 people standing in the lobby waiting on orders and only [2] order tickets in the hands of the employees. Only after the last ticket was filled & they look at all the people standing there does the lightbulb come on that, "Houston, we have a problem." With a quick little IT Reboot (turn off & on the little printer), "Heavens to bettsy" you have order tickets spewing like a Texas oil gusher. Now many of your clients have been standing patiently, quietly, waiting while working out the problem, but one customer who politely says she would like to cancel her order (the last person to order) all of a sudden gets first of the line treatment. Now some grumbling starts. I waited a month from this incident before posting the review, to make sure that I still felt affronted. Yep, still do.

But they...

Ladies and Gentlemen! Children of all ages! This Duck Donuts location is the place to stop for yummy, tasty, topped the way you choose donuts in the North Myrtle Beach area. The friendly lady, Myra at the counter helped us choose and took our order. If you get to meet Myra while you are there, then you are in for a treat -- in addition to the donuts, or course. On the other hand, if you do not want to deal with humans, you can place your own order at the computer screen to the right after you walk through the doorway. The screen is BIG, so you can see everything, and you can be as anti-social as you would like. As for us, not only did we enjoy chatting with Myra, we even stood on the platform to watch Latoya (LaToya?) slather our donuts with frosting and then top each one with scrumptious goodies. (If you think that bacon on a frosted donut is weird, then we think that you have not tried it yet.) Latoya was friendly with a smile on her face. It seems like she really likes her job. Maybe she just likes us. I mean, we like to think that we are pretty likable people. Have you gotten this far in our Duck Donuts endorsement? If so, then let us close with one last statement: We recommend that if you can safely eat sugar, you go to Duck Donuts in North Myrtle Beach for an experience that we hope you will enjoy as...

Let me tell you something—Duck Donuts is not just a doughnut shop. It’s a life-altering, taste-bud-seducing, “where-have-you-been-all-my-life” type of experience. I walked in thinking I was just going to grab a snack… and walked out questioning every doughnut I’ve ever had before. Krispy who? Dunkin what? No shade, but Duck Donuts is playing a different game.

The doughnuts are fresh-made, warm, fluffy clouds of pure happiness, dipped, drizzled, and topped to your wildest imagination. I’m talking maple bacon, cinnamon sugar, strawberry shortcake magic—you name it. I bit into that first one and immediately entered a new dimension where calories don’t count and diets don’t exist. I almost cried.

And I thank the good Lord above that there isn’t a Duck Donuts near me because I’d be in there DAILY like it was a part-time job. They’d know my name, my order, my mood, and probably my shoe size.

If you’re anywhere near one, RUN, don’t walk. Just don’t blame me when your willpower disappears and you start dreaming of doughnuts like it’s your soulmate. 10/10. Would risk it...
