Maybe Gibson's has the greatest donuts in the world who knows? - We did not experience that on our recent visit. They are open 24 hours but apparently only make enough of their popular donuts to serve patrons that arrive early in the morning. We drove a considerable distance, in a pretty shady area of Memphis I might add, to... More

These donuts are awesome! I came here with my family for breakfast before visiting Graceland and really enjoyed a variety of donuts. You may have to wait if you want a seat because it was really busy on a Friday morning. We had to try, and I recommend you do, the maple glazed donut with bacon sprinkles and it was... More

Not so much..Im guessing you have to be a regular to get the great service.. I attempted to make conversation with the women helping us out.. no luck.. she just wanted to shove our donuts in a...

I don't care for this place at all. Stopped this morning to pick up donut's for the office & even though I wasn't born during the 50's & 60's the atmosphere screams in this joint screams SEGREGATION!! From the employees working the counter to a good majority of the customers patronizing the place. I'll drive across town to Krispy Kreme... More

Gibson's is one of those places you'd like to have next door, but weight control would be a problem. We stop occasionally for a treat or two or to pick up donuts for meetings/church. The donuts are excellent - favorites for us are the old fashioned, chocolate cake, chocolate iced, blueberry, pumpkin (in season) and glazed. For treats we usually... More

Before Gibson's it was fresh Krispy Kremes. Now that I've tasted these melt in your mouth soft goodness--these are the BEST EVER! You will not be disappointed! Order the plain glazed!

Donuts are fresh, well made and tasty. They offer the standard variety with a few specialties. They hold up well even after a day or two.
