I don't know how they make these donuts so incredible...perhaps it's magic. This place is a must for every Carolina Beach goer. We make it our last stop on our drive out of town so we have a dozen donuts to snack on for the drive back! There's only one kind - plain glazed - but they're the perfect balance... More

Been having Britt's for 3+ years and they are always hot, fresh and delicious. There's a long line in the high season, but they are well worth the wait. We definitely miss them during the off season.

The donuts here are the type where you eat three or four in a row and throw your diet to the wind. We waited in line for 20 minutes - yes for donuts, but it was worth every second. Super yummy and an icon on the boardwalk.

The only bad news about this place is that they are not open year round. This is a hole in the wall place on the beach, but aren't those always the best places. They only serve one kind of donut and they only take cash, but you too will be saying they are the best donuts you have ever had!

Do you know how people rave about their favorite place? You go there and it's "okay" and realize that your friends were raving about the experience, the memories of childhood or something else. We went to Britt's because our relatives from Wilmington said it was the best donuts ever. I'm not sure they are the "best ever" but they were... More

He said they are so good you will want to slap somone! Myself and my girlfriend found ourself on Carolina beach boardwalk a few days later and noticed a long... More

My fiance had the donuts before and wanted me to try them. It was only 90 cent and super gooey. If you are at Carolina Beach go get one. It is worth the calories.

I moved to Wilmington in 1981 and I have been going to Britt's since. I have led many locals to Britt's as well. Britts is the very best donut I have ever eaten in my life! The reason why you cannot reheat Britt's donuts is because they have no preservatives. The owner explained that to me several years back. So... More
