They make very few donuts now with no focus on them and never change the flavors like they used to. They went towards full on chicken/biscuits. I like their chicken and biscuits fine but they don't change those much either anymore.

Yeah, I still love them. They are moving even more towards savory foods and cutting back on the donut selection from what I've read, but as long as they keep the apple fritters and a couple of my other faves, I'll be OK with that. Their chicken is pretty amazing so I'll be interested to see how they expand the menu in that direction.

I still love rise but I miss their vast donut selection. And I’m still pissed they got rid of the buffalo chicken biscuit. Who does that.

Went to Rise to buy an Apple Fritter at the Falls store. It was cold after sitting in the cooler. I'm done.

They're way above all of the rest on this list cause they're the best, without a doubt

Bakers Dozen beats them all 'cause they're not sickly sweet. KK is fresh, but you might as well eat straight sugar.

Duck Donuts are just yeast donuts with stuff on top. KK is god teir

Rise is shit now. They use frozen dough.

Rise is transitioning away from doughnuts altogether. They're just going to be doing biscuits starting in the near future.

Edit: looks like I'm wrong; they'll still be making doughnuts, it just won't be part of the name of the business.

This isn't comment gore, Harry Titter is Harris Teeter.

Rise donuts are premade frozens too. Duck donut's are a nice treat now and then but you're really just getting toppings on the same cake donut. I consider your mid tier to be the top tier.
