Great American Donut Shop in Bowling Green

This may just be the best donut shop in the state. I have had my fair share of donuts and man these are very hard to beat. Not just that but this place is completely family owned and operated. Same man has mad these donuts for years just look at the newspaper clippings they have. This place is amazing! I don't think it would be the same either if they updated it. I think its great how everything looks the same as when I was young

Great price on donuts. Great selection. Kind/funny employee. Did charge card fee, which isn't too odd for a donuts shop considering how small the transactions at these places often are.

Good donuts at a good price. Really friendly.

Only place around that has the cortect chocolate old fashioned donuts!! Large selection, great prices, excellent customer service. I know I can find something for everyone in my family!

This place has the best donuts in town, hands down. Personal favorite- blueberry cake. So delicious!

The best freshness! I like how you can order them fresh and warm even if that item is already made and available in the case. Great drink options as well

Always amazingly fresh and great selection, also will add filling to what you want.

Amazing place and has been for years, always the friendliest people you will meet. Open 24 hours.

Best donuts in town!

Everything is good but the strawberry cake donut will change your life. That is simply the best donut I've ever eaten. Super friendly staff.

Very friendly staff and very quick service. Great variety and fresh. Great for a bit sugar spike.

By far the best donut shop in town. Way better than the robot maid donuts over at Krispy Kreme or frozen donuts at Dunkin donuts.

Need to know when you can get hot fresh donuts other than that pretty good .

Not bad but not good.

Best Donuts in the South Western Central North Tennessee area. Blueberry, Strawberry & Plain Cake Donuts are the best though everything is good there. Highly recommended

Best donuts in town. Always fresh and delicious!

Fresh made doughnuts, they were so yummy I didn't bother saving my other one for in the morning. Clean, quite, speedy service. Nice woman working at the counter.

Mine and my kids favorite donut stop!! Staff is so friendly. Prices are amazing. Donuts are delicious!

Good food and good service.

Always great, always wonderful 😊

One of the landmarks of Bowling Green. A 24/7 family owned donut shop that prepares homemade donuts. The donuts themselves offer quite a variety and are delicious, fresh and are served at a very decent price. You may also get coffee or milk to accompany those tasty treats. Definitely a must if you are in town.

I have traveled all over the country and you CANNOT get better donuts anywhere!

Great donuts and friendly staff. I would recommend the old fashioned or the cake donuts.

Their donuts are the best I’ve ever had and they never disappoint!

No frills, straightforward great donuts! It's the soft, pillowy bread that gets you. Everything is fresh! They're open 24/7.

Awesome donuts! Huge selection, well stocked, very friendly staff. We will be back!

Caaaake donuts! You know the kind: heavy & moist, dunkable & delicious. Excellent selection, friendly service, and the coffee was surprisingly not bad. We went out of our way to stop here on a road trip and it did not disappoint. Will return the next time we pass through Bowling Green!

They could change their name to the best donuts; or awesome donuts... but they ARE truly GREAT! No doubt about. You really couldn't get much more American than that. A family owned and operated joint... eventhough they are Asian people. This place looks exactly the way it did the first time i went. You'll never forget em! Just like the sincere "thank you!" they'll leave you with (no purchase necessary! )

There is something about the pastries at GADS that makes you know, absolutely know, that you're getting a great homemade product. My purchase of over a dozen donuts and pastries was for 2 people to enjoy and I'm sorry to say it didn't survive the day. Covid-19 times are hard on our businesses, get out there and get some! #81

Best Donuts in BG. Delicious apple turnover. Always fresh. 24/7.

Fresh donuts of every kind. Love this place and the donuts. Always clean and they were complying with CDC guidelines and that means so much to us. 💯

Love the donuts always a variety

The donuts were all delicious and at great prices. Highly recommend the strawberry cake.

Best donuts in Bowling Green, frequented by all ages and backgrounds. If anything can bring us together its GADS donuts!

Great donuts, great people, great times! This place might look like a hole in the wall and only seats a few people but when you walk through that door for the first time and smell those fresh donuts you will be hooked. My favorites Blueberry Cake, Bavarian Cream, and Cream Horns, everything I've ever tried has been delicious and guaranteed to wreck any and all low-carb dreams. Enjoy!

Who knew there was a 24-hour donut shop in bowling Green! My friends and I were in town for one night for a conference and one of them had gone to school in bowling Green and suggested that she take us to this 24-hour donut shop. Everyone got one or two varieties and it was great all-around! Wonderful donuts! Great service.

Best donuts in town. Locally owned, I think they're still 24 hrs/day, friendly and quick staff. Overall, this is the best place for donuts, hands down; Bowling Green absolutely ADORES this establishment. I'll be back, again, and again, and again....

Best donuts around! The 24/7 service is so convenient. The donuts are exceptional, especially the chocolate chip donuts. Staff is so kind and helpful. :)

These are the best donuts I've had in a very long time. The texture of the donut is perfect -- light, but with the right amount of chewiness. The flavor (buttermilk) is perfect. The glaze amount is also perfect -- you want a thin glaze so that it dries quickly to a nice crunch. A lot of places have too thick of a glaze and the donuts get wet after they sit a little while. The lemon filling is excellent quality -- strong flavor and not too sweet. The chocolate donuts are done correctly -- no glaze!

Always fresh and delicious no matter what times of day. Great variety. Wonderful friendly owners. Extremely inexpensive in my opinion.

I can’t believe it has taken me over 4 years to review this absolute GEM of a donut shop. Great American Donut Shop (GADS) is the absolute best. Their no frills donuts are never disappointing. Let me tell you about their best 2 donuts though, the blueberry cake and the strawberry cake donuts. Both of these are probably the softest, tastiest cake donuts you will ever eat in your life. There’s an argument to be made that one is better than the other, but I absolutely could not choose. And why choose when you can just buy a dozen of both of them? Seriously, if you are passing through Bowling Greene, do not miss this place. It is an absolutely must for the donut, cake, or sweet tooth lovers out there!

Small hometown feeling. Great selection and delicious donuts. Coffee is pretty good too!

Some of the best donuts in town. Very friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced.

Since coming to Western Kentucky University as a freshman to the present 8 years later, I have always enjoyed the sweet treats that GADS (Great American Donut Shop) has to offer. The convenience of dining on donuts at anytime sets this place apart. As many have said before me. “They do The Lord’s work”

Love this place! Always fresh.

It's ok not the best Dixie cream was the best besides Rally's bakery

Hands down the best donuts and donut shop ever! Great prices, amazing selection, ALWAYS FRESH! GADS is wonderful at any hour for any meal no matter what! Nobody beats GADS when it comes to donuts!

Good donuts, quick service. Store could use a bit of sprucing up.

The donuts are cheap and delicious. The coffee drink I got, I think it was a white chocolate cappuccino, was painfully sweet to the point I couldn't consume it. The donuts were incredible though... They definitely met the expectations I had built up from all the hype.

Duuuuude, GADs is the best!!! Chocolate pudding filled donuts!!! And pretty much any donut you can think of. They'll even help make you what you want!!! So good!!! Especially in the middle of the night!!!
