Carl's Bakery & Restaurant

One of the best glazed donuts you will ever have. Always fresh . Call ahead and they will have them ready will bring them right yo your car

Finally was able to make it to this place. You pull in, they come to your car and you order. The man was very nice and answered all my questions. Guess you can call in orders. Very tasty donuts and a must when I am home. Get up early and go Thursday - Saturday mornings only...you won't be disappointed.

Update – Nov 2020. I haven't yet had a tenderloin sandwich that is that large, until now. It was such a great lunch. --- Oct 2020 Ok friends, so today I crossed the river over to East Peoria to go try out the Broasted (Broiled + Roasted) Chicken at Carl's Bakery & Restaurant. Man, they've got a good thing going on over in EP! So without further ado, Carl's is tied for #1 on my Greater Peoria deep fried chicken list with Amir's in the East Bluff! I'd go to both any day. If you're thinking about heading over to Carl's, please call ahead as they're doing only curbside pickup, takes about 20-30 minutes for your order to be ready cos they cook'em fresh to order. Oh and BTW their donuts are really good as well. P.s.s. I guess this is closer to the Washington, Morton & EP friends ?????????????????? #comfortfood #deepfriedchicken #eastpeoria #illinois #greaterpeoria #andreweats #deliciousness #broastedchicken #bakery #donuts #chickenanddonuts

Having never been here, I pulled in didn't know was curbside only. The owner cane out and rudely explained that. He asked what I wanted. After asking what they have, I just asked for a dozen assorted. My total was $18. I handed him a $20. I could tell he was expecting me to tell him to keep the change. Sorry buddy not tipping your attitude. The donuts were decent but not good enough to come.back and subject myself to his rudeness. Even when I thanked him he said nothing back. He should be thanking me for being a customer.

My husband and I pulled up on a Saturday morning not knowing it was curbside only and call ahead orders (we are not on Facebook). We were greeted by a man that gave us options and we ended up with a "surprise us" dozen. All I can say is, I don't think i've had a better glazed donut ever! I ate it on the car ride home. It was warm, airy, soft and perfect. Now I know why they sell out!
