While I agree that these are the best donuts anywhere on the South Side, be aware of the violence going on in the area. If you are not African American, I would suggest you stay away.

I was at Old Fashioned Donuts yesterday. I've been going there for over 30 years. They taste incredible!!

Old Fashioned Donuts of course!

Bar none, Old Fashioned Donuts are the best I've ever tasted. Krispy Kreme and all others can not compare. OFD should be on the world donut map! Once I sat and ate six glazed. I couldn't stop eating them (PIG!). Yes, I was ashamed and I paid for it later with the sugar shakes for a week after I devoured, but it was worth it. Yummy
