Dale’s Donut Shop

The best donut I have ever encountered… ever. CANNOT be beat!

Best donuts. Not an opinion. Fact.
Crispy and soft at the same time, perfection every time.
I don’t minding begging them to expand and have a shop in Austin (Texas) so I don’t have to travel hundreds of miles to get good donuts. Even though I primarily eat Paleo-​based food, I’ll make an exception for Dale’s donuts.

I have been coming to this donut shop for over 20 years. The donuts are literally the best in Benton, maybe arkansas. They are light and airy, coated with flaky sugar. Not the prettiest things but delicious. They treat children to free donut holes.
My only qualm is that this place has had literally no renovations or changes since we’ve been coming here. It has horrible parking, on a corner without street parking, and looks like a bait shop instead of a donut shop. But, it’s Benton– things will never change.

Dale’s Donuts, may I give you 100 stars? It’s quite possible I may be your biggest fan, reasons being:
1) I have been visiting this place for over 20 years. I loved it so much as a kiddo that I made my Dad start telling me «donut stories» at night before bedtime. These stories starred your donuts as superheros and yummy protagonists, ready to save the day (and of course) be eaten at the end.
2) I’m considering getting an image of your strawberry iced donut tattooed on my ankle. No joke.
3) If I ever get married, I’m going to ask you guys to make a donut cake for me. Would that be possible?
Although I live in Texas now, everytime I visit my family in Arkansas, I come grab my favorite breakfast of champions of all time: 1 pink donut, 1 old-​fashioned chocolate iced donut, and half a dozen donut holes. I’ve never had a better donut. Keep doing what you’re doing, Dale’s, and remember, I love you.

I love this place!!! The blueberry cake doughnuts are especially wonderful. The staff is the best… it’s just an excellent place to get your morning sugar fix! Love that this local business is thriving because they are good at what they do & the community loves them still!

The place is hoppn’ at 6:30 am, lots of regulars. Buttery, warm, fluffy… The perfect doughnuts. plain glazed is the show stopper sold at this locally own and operated.
Trust me buy a dozen… really

Best Donuts on the planet. If you live in Benton you already know this.
