Donut Hole

This is without a doubt the best breakfast in the area. Heck, could be the best I’ve ever had. Fresh baked breads, doughnuts and great bacon and eggs. It’s a place you must try.
I tried the ham and cheese omelet with sliced tomatoes. It came with choice of bread. I picked the cinnamon raisin bread. It was so good I bought some to take home.

This place is so popular that you need to expect to wait in a line outside. Upon entering you can buy donuts at the counter or wait for a table. Only basic coffee and no lattes. I ordered the breakfast tacos and they were not so good, but I’m from Texas and maybe in Florida they have a different standard of tacos. However, my friend did order the «diet» plate which was a clever name for a plate of biscuits and gravy, and that was so tasty. The atmosphere was loud and busy, and I would definitely go back for some comfort food.

Great atmosphere and breakfast. I’ve enjoyed each meal all being for breakfast. The donuts are amazing, and the omelettes are fantastic. Give it a try but come early.

One of the «must go» places when in the area. Great breakfast/​lunch/​dinner. Had the Breakfast Burger and it was great. Came with hashbrowns for $ 8.95. Had a chocalet cake donut ($.93) on the way out. Hmm good.

Since moving to Panama City we’ve been on a mission to finding good places to eat and found this place on our search.
I have to say that the food and service here was awesome. The donuts was finger lickin good too! We will definitely come back again and again

We enjoyed the donut hole very much! They were super busy, long wait but the food few out! The coffee is very good too. Also playing ping pong and bean bag toss was a great way to pass time. I had eggs Benedict and enjoyed it a bunch. The pancakes are huge too. It’s also big inside and comfy. I will have the club next time… I heard it’s great there!

Love this place. No wait today but usually a line out the door during season. Look at the specials. Get the special French toast. The señor Benny was good too.

Donuts were yummy and staff was friendly! They have these throughout destin and even driving toward Panama City.
I would recommend this place. I appreciated the service and awesome donuts!

Love this place!!! Everything I’ve ever ordered there is great!!! Awesome breakfasts and lunch. Very busy on weekends.

Pretty good selection of donuts. Long lines!
You probably need to get here early in order not to spend 45 mins in line.
The taste was not that much different than any other shop but they do have an unusual variety.

Yesterday morning on our way to Destin we stopped at the Donut Hole in Inlet Beach Florida on recommendation of a friend.
We arrived around 9 AM and the line to get in was fairly long but we actually were seated within about 20 minutes. When you first get inside the door there is a second line to purchase donuts but since we wanted a meal, we purchased donuts for later and we ordered breakfast from their menu.
Once we were seated we were waited on pretty quickly People had raved about their French toast and specifically that you had a few bread choices to order from. Janet ordered the white bread version and I ordered the sourdough version (They also have wheat and cinnamon raisin bread as choices). I also ordered a side of sausage and hash browns. Our son Joshua ordered Eggs Benedict with a side of bacon and hash browns.
We received our food about 15 minutes later, piping hot and just as we ordered. The French toast was very good but Janet and I agreed that the sourdough version is far superior. The sausage, IMO, was overlooked but the hash browns were glorious. Some crisp to them and a very good buttery flavor. Joshua loved his Eggs Benedict and his bacon looked great.
Service was adequate considering how busy they were and the long lines that remained throughout our time there.
We ordered some donuts for later and they had a pretty good variety. I had a couple this morning and the red velvet one was excellent as was the cinnamon sugar donut. Janet had a blueberry one and she thinks it has better taste than the ones from Donut Bank.
If you are visiting Panama City Florida, I would recommend this place for breakfast. They close at 2 I think and they had a pretty nice looking lunch menu.

Great location, service, and food!
The eggs with chorizo are AMAZING!
Be prepared to wait if you don’t get there early! Don’t worry though, they have cornhole and ping pong to entertain the kids!

I’ve eaten here often. They offer a good variety of food like a hometown diner and have friendly service. Every time I go I’m bothered by the flies. They really need to get rid of them.

Great place for a full breakfast or some unique donuts. Tons of seating, friendly service, and good food.

We came here on Saturday around noon for breakfast. We had visited this location a few days prior for dessert and got a monstrous chocolate cake and a few slices of pie. There was no wait when we sat down and our server was friendly and attentive – the best service we have received at any restaurant since we have been in PCB. At the recommendation of our server, my husband ordered the monster omelet. Wow. It was good. I was kinda sad I didn’t order one because two bites of my hubby’s just wasn’t enough. The pancakes were light, fluffy, melt-​in-​your-​mouth good, and monstrously large. They barely fit on the plate! Oh, and you have to order the bacon here. Our family are all huge bacon fans. We love it. We eat lots of it, everywhere, all the time, and we all agree that THIS is the best we’ve ever tasted. YOU MUST ORDER THE BACON! You’re welcome.
I’m not a big fan of breakfast, but this is the best breakfast I’ve ever eaten. If breakfast tasted like this everywhere, I’d eat it all the time. But sadly, it’s only at the Donut Hole and I have to wait another year before I can have another incredible breakfast like this one again. We will most definitely be back next time we visit. Everything was delicious!

Ok, I’m biased. Let me get that out of the way. I used to live in Ft. Walton Beach and the original Donut Hole was my favorite breakfast spot. Well, years later and now I’m bringing my family down here from Tennessee and it’s still my favorite place to eat here. Today even though we had a group of five and it seemed packed out at 845 am, we were seated in less than 10 minutes. The waitress came right out and got our drink order. She seemed like she was in a great mood and happy to be our server. She promptly brought to our table our coffee, water, and OJ. We ordered and the food came out just as promptly. The service couldn’t have been better! Only once did one person run out of water at the table and the was quickly remedied.
The food was great. All of our orders were correct. The food was cooked perfectly. They have these pancakes that used to fall off the plate on the edges because they were so big. They must have gotten larger plates, because they pancakes are still huge, but barely fit on the plates now. The bacon is super crisp and so thick! The coffee is always fresh and hot-​I have my own DH mug at the house. Did I mention the BACON? I don’t think anyone was able to finish their plates-​we always over order due to the large portions. (-=
The prices are reasonable and they are great for families and or groups, so don’t forget to stop by the Donut Hole while on the Emerald Coast or 30A!

Expect a long wait on weekends! I wish there was a hostess that would keep track of everyone waiting because the lobby tends to get messy. Whoever can jockey up to the front gets their seat first. Once a table gets cleared, a waiter or waitress swings by the lobby with menus and yells «next».
Once seated, it takes a while to get your drink and order. Their savory selection is nothing special. I had huevos rancheros and nothing really stood out. Side of sliced avocados was already brown.
The only saving grace was the doughnuts I picked up to-​go. The red velvet doughnut was phenomenal and I see why it gets all the accolades.

Came here for breakfast on last day of our beach trip. We had an awful experience the previous day at a donut truck so was just praying this place at least had better donuts. Walked in and lines were long so that was a good sign. The donuts looked really good and they had some interesting varieties.
We got seated in a long both and I ordered a coffee, cinnamon donut, key lime filled powdered donut and chocolate glazed. My son had two cinnamon donuts, my honey had a vegetarian omelette, and little princess had a pancake.
All three of my donuts were really good! 5 stars just on those alone. The cinnamon donut was layered with so much cinnamon that the donut didn’t even have a hole, and it was fluffy and perfectly moist. The glazed chocolate was really good and the powdered key lime filled was yum! It was filled nicely and had a ton coming out with every bite. My coffee was a 3, ok.
I had a bite of the pancake, which was huge for a child’s size, and it was very fluffy and had excellent taste with no syrup. The biscuits and grits weren’t that great that my honey had as sides, def a 2 there. The waiter did a fantastic job of refilling drinks and checking up on us. A sure 5 right there.
Overall, would highly recommend! Wish we had taken home one of their pies, they all looked amazing!

Went on a Sunday morning to have breakfast with the family.
The line was 15min to get a table… Not too terribly bad.
Once we got a table– then the nightmare ensued– it took 15min to get our drinks and an hour to get our food… No kidding…
Once the food got there– the bacon is excellent!!!
The eggs were fresh and things went much better from there.

YUMMMMM!!! I love everything they have to offer. This morning I had their French toast and Belgian waffle (which were both AMAZING) with a delicious hot cocoa as well. Highly recommend for breakfast if you’re staying or live near Inlet beach and great for kids and the family.
P. S. Try a treat from their bakery too!
