Started From a Pop-Up Now We're Here!
Early mornings, loading a van, setting up a farmer’s market tent in the cold, heat, rain and sun. The first Hero Doughnuts outpost was a shared commercial kitchen where founder Wil Drake’s 2-day process of making brioche style, yeast doughnuts started.

Came with my wife and son to get lunch. Ordered around 12:30 and didn't get our food until 1. The manager apologized and comped us some doughnuts which was very appreciated (and added at least one star to this review). The food was good, but not "wait for half an hour" good. More...

The House salad was good. The Cheesy Ranch Fries were excellent, although the serving size was rather small. Will return to try breakfast, and of course some donuts.

Terrible service. Doughnuts were stale. Staff was rude and unprofessional.

Got two donuts for almost $10, the double chocolate was fine but nothing special. The Bread pudding was nasty. It was wet and heavy. The restaurant as a whole was disgusting and not cleaned. More...

Third time in 3 weeks I have gone in at opening to get Kolaches for my business and gift to my customers. First time only had 5 total. Second time only had 4. Today ordered 4 regular and a lady came from the back and said the system was off that they only had 2 regular and one jalapeño. I told her i needed a total of 4 and she told the man at the register to refund my money. First you would think they would have more then 4 of a breakfast sandwich that is top on their menu. But to back it up with take it or leave attitude is not very good business. Went to Dunkin doughnuts Got everything for $10 less than heroes will not be back More...

Went in on a Friday mid morning. Just a few people there. Ordered a classic burger, hashbrowns and a banana pudding donut and a cup of water. Service fast and friendly. With tip and tax $20 and some change. The donut and the pudding inside very good. Thought the icing on the outside was nasty. I sctaped it off the donut. Hashbrowns are fried potato squares, thought they were okay, just a hair greasy for me. Hamburger meat was tasty but the hamburger as a whole was very bland. For $20 I thought this was a very mediocre meal. At $10 I would think it's mediocre. No plans to go.back. More...

The food is here is great! The prices are little steep for the portions you get (for lunch).

Do yourself a favor and come here and get a mango cream filled donut. You won't regret it. Everything we ate was delicious, and the spot it's in looked nice. Definitely recommend it as a nice breakfast spot, or if you're just wanting to satisfy that sweet tooth craving. More...

Another star of the southern donut tour. Donut was cakey, toppings subdued, and good flavor. The raspberry jelly filled felt very fresh (not a canned pie filling). A good stop for donuts.

I asked for the OG donuts in the casing as she was getting my donuts because they looked fresh. instead the lady still slickly gave me 2/5 of the morning old OG Glaze. If I’m paying a lot of money for a dozen of donuts please give me what I’m asking for More...

They have really awesome burgers! The fries were ok. But, their burgers are some of the best I've tried.

What a great new addition to the neighborhood! While the food was delicious I absolutely loved the fenced in patio area that was great for my littles to run around while we waited for our food. The food was quick to come out, hot, and SO much! Absolutely recommended! More...

I ordered 2 dozen assorted and took them into work, they were gone within a day. They usually go stale and have to be thrown out if they come from another place!

My coworker bought donuts for our office and discovered egg shells in the donuts after one bite. When we called we were told oh it happens sometimes…(after a very long awkward pause) they proceeded to say thanks for letting us know and did not offer an apology or refund or anything really and after another awkward pause we ended the call. I will move all business elsewhere. More...

Donut holes or what they call sidekicks were cold and hard. I asked them to warm then and was they couldn't. They advertise conecuh sausage in their kolache, I'm not sure what sausage they used but it was definitely not conecuh. Not worth money.

I was walking to RedCat to get coffee this morning and decided to stop in Hero and get some breakfast. I got the folded egg and cheese bun. Since I’m a UAB nurse, I showed my badge and got 20% off and that convinced me to get a strawberry jam donut too! The pepper jam and crack sauce on the sandwich were delicious! Update: they don’t do the UAB employee discount anymore so far this year, but I recently got to sit in the dining area for brunch on Saturday. It was soooo pleasant! The freshly squeezed OJ that they put in the mimosas makes all the difference. They were playing SpongeBob cartoons which felt very relaxing and nostalgic and it never got overwhelmingly busy! I would 100% become a brunch regular! More...
