    So much to say about Beaunuts! First the owner and staff are awesome! They treat customers like family and friends. Their donuts and food are great! Whether you are there for a donut, or even for their variety of food for a meal (breakfast sandwiches are excellent) you are going to love it. And one of the biggest reasons I love Beaunuts is how they had rallied around a friend diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He is a regular customer of theirs, and like family they stepped in to help. They have helped to raise funds for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) and this weekend were at the PanCAN Richmond PurpleStride 5k walk with their trailer helping earn money to fight this horrible disease. Beyond the excellent food, and impeccable service they are people that care and help. Even though I’m not local to Petersburg, I’ll be an advocate for Beaunuts and will stop in any time I’m in town! Support local and definitely support a business like this!

    YUMMMM!!! My husband and I stopped in after an early dinner to get some donuts. The flavors are DELICIOUS and unique.. (I had a hard time picking one)!! The staff are super nice and welcoming! I didn’t even realize they sold food too!! (We both can’t wait to come back to try the hot dogs). Stop in, grab breakfast or a hot dog and just chill in an awesome environment with great food—I promise you won’t regret it.

    All I have to say is WOW!!!.. my friends and I decided to check out beaunuts as we heard around about it. What caught are eyes was the interesting decor. Very warm and welcoming environment. The owner Ernie greeted us with a welcoming smiling he couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. We got a specialty donut, a Carolina hot dog and a hot from the fryer donut…and OMG…fantastic. We can’t wait to go back !!!!! 5 stars across the board

    High quality donuts! Every week it's difficult to not get at least four of the week's flavors. While more expensive than store bought you are getting a much better product that you can count on. Only downside is you may need to get there by noon on the weekends if there is a flavor you want, although this is not always the case. The hotdog options are amazing as well.

    Very unwelcoming atmosphere. I wondered if someone lived on a farm because it smelled like a barn when we entered. I ordered the Cajun dog and the VA chili dog, along with their version of loaded fries. The VA chili dog along with the fries tasted so bad, mostly from the slaw that was on each item. We did enjoy the Cajun dog and the crinkle fries by themselves were tasty. The other hotdog was nasty. I tried the short rib chili independent from the hotdog and it really had no flavor. Maybe I just need to stay in Richmond where the food is better because it’s evident other people really enjoy their food. I am the anomaly. Ownership is rude and I will never go back to any of their establishments. Just all around yucky. The fries came with an ingredient that wasn’t listed and was missing an ingredient that was listed. Just an all-around messy and unpleasant experience. I truly expected more when owners are running the show. I can’t wait for the reply to this review. I understand defending your position but what you served was trash.

    Beaunuts is my go to place for biscuits and gravy. I love the little bite size biscuit holes. Don’t let them fool you. They are not a sweet donut. They are the perfect texture and taste I crave for. Brings me back to my granny’s biscuits. No canned or bagged gravy like so many places that serve biscuits and gravy. Clearly homemade with a perfect amount sausage. So good!

    So yummy! Came in and the environment was clean and chill. Had guitars I could play, and it was fun! Ordered a Carolina dog and a donut and it was so good!!!! Very nice prices and I think I might come back

    The absolutely most original donuts we've ever seen! What we love best, is having each of the uniquely created donuts explain to us by its creator. Super fresh ingredients in a hip hole in the wall and historic Petersburg. Don't miss this!

    We love Beaunuts! Been coming here for years and wish we lived closer to enjoy it more often. The biscuit doughnuts are always great, and the vibe is always chill. Great place to bring the kids to pick out a treat.

    Nice local spot in Petersburg. A lot of options if you like the trendy toppings on donuts. Honestly the plain cinnamon and sugar warm out of the fryer was the best hands down. Small size donut which is nice if you want to try a few different ones. Nice crunch on the exterior with a great buttermilk flavor on the side.

    Gourmet food and a rock n' roll attitude, Beaunuts is a PVA gem! I've been here a few times now, and each time, it has been wonderful. The inside is cozy and pretty low-key, which lends itself to a laid-back vibe. Ownership/staff has always been very welcoming to me and very helpful if I had any questions. No, you are not going to find any servers with fake smiles and cheer. What you WILL find are warm, very personable people who just want to provide you with ridiculously high-quality food. Obviously, from the name, their specialty is doughnuts. However, the quality of them? Out of this world. If you love cake doughnuts, then THIS is your place. Next to the register, they have a case with the specials of the day, each one looking scrumptious with a different fruit or confectionary topping. Honestly, though, as others on here have said, the real secret is their standard glazed, because hot out of the fryer, it can not be beat. Thankfully, due to the doughnuts being slightly smaller, you never feel overwhelmed by the richness of the cake- so feel free to eat a few (or a dozen). In addition to the doughnuts, this local joint has a penchant for making an amazing biscuit - and then repurposing those biscuits into their more savory breakfast dishes. The breakfast sandwich is served on biscuits with the middle punched out (to keep the doughnut theme). They also have flatbreads, which are, you guessed it, made out of a thin, crispier biscuit instead of a cracker. By the way, the smoked salmon flatbread with tomato aioli about made me fall out of my chair- that thing is perfect. To round out the biscuit-related dishes, they also have a Southern standard - biscuits and gravy. However, you won't be eating these with a fork. Remember earlier when I said they punch out the middle of their biscuit sandwiches? Well, those bite-sized middle pieces are now fried and paired with a cup of their "VA Chili" (sausage gravy) to dunk them in. "Alright, alright, they have a bunch of breakfast items that sound wonderful. I guess I don't need to eat there past brunch though..." Not so fast- they also have an entire menu of hot dogs to wow you through lunch and dinner. "Hot dogs!?! But that's hardly a meal." Oh no, fellow diner, once again, they pulled a fast one on you. Aside from the standard "Plain Dog," their frankfurter creations are phenomenal - each coming in a different variety to match the multitudes of flavors we enjoy across the South. Whether you want a taste of Tennessee (Jack Daniels braised onions and crispy pork skins), Carolina (short rib chili and slaw), or Texas (Frito Pie and Chive Crema, Y'all), you will have your tastebuds rocked. My personal favorite is the Old Dominion Dog, which is a pork frank with the VA chili and a pimento cheese sauce. If you are of a younger generation, you may catch yourself thinking, "pimento cheese!?! That nasty stuff my Meemaw used to put on crackers?" as I shamefully once did. But I (and you) are fools if you think they would do you like that. Their pimento cheese is again, some more fancy stuff, disguised as not fancy stuff. It is addictive, and if you REALLY want a lot of it, try it drizzled over their Southern Cheese Fries. As for drink options, they have a cup of coffee to pair with your doughnut fare. They also have a cooler stocked with juices, teas, and a few craft brews to help keep you refreshed on a muggy Petersburg summer day. Beaunuts does its best to hide as a low-key joint with a punk motif, but the moment you bite into any of their creations, you will realize it was all a smokescreen. This is gourmet food, camoflaged as standard Southern comfort food. But the charm is that the food really *is* still comforting, the creativity never makes you feel less than, and the prices are VERY affordable. A true gem of the Petersburg area, stop by and blow your tastebuds away today!
