Master Critic Review

Allstar Donuts & Burgers 7.9
Civic Center / Tenderloin
Long-running Tenderloin counter turning out fresh donuts alongside griddle staples. Expect hefty maple bars, twists, and a steady stream of regulars from nearby offices and the courthouse.
Must-Try Dishes: Maple Bar, Cinnamon Twist, Chocolate Cake Donut
Scores:
Value: 8.8 Service: 7.8 Consistency: 8 Food Quality: 8.1 Atmosphere: 6.2 Cultural Relevance: 7.6
What makes it special: Classic donuts made continuously through the morning rush.
Who should go: Courthouse workers and donut nostalgists
When to visit: 7–10am for warm batches
What to order: Maple bar; glazed twist; chocolate cake
Insider tip: Lines move fastest at the donuts-only register—order hot food separately.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking nearby; can be tough during weekday courthouse hours. No dedicated lot.
Dress code: Casual—come as you are; work attire and streetwear are equally common.
Noise level: Moderate bustle from counter traffic; fine for conversation but not a quiet setting.
Weekend wait: Not a dinner destination—donut and breakfast traffic only.
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait for donuts; hot food line can take 5–10 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—plain, glazed, maple, and cake donuts plus fries and sides.
Vegan options: No dedicated vegan donuts; limited options like black coffee and fries.
Gluten-free options: No—donuts and burgers are made with wheat flour.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—this is a utilitarian counter spot better for a quick bite than a romantic setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—this is a counter-service diner with open seating; no reservations are taken.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—kids enjoy the donuts, though seating is limited and no special amenities are provided.
Best For
Better for: Fresh, classic donuts paired with diner-style comfort food in a no-frills setting.
Skip if: You want artisanal or vegan donuts, upscale brunch, or a quiet café experience.
