All Star Donuts is located at the corner of 5th & Harrison Streets in South of Market. Though it’s called All Star Donuts, they serve not only donuts, but also an assortment of sandwiches and other types of lunch/comfort food.

Original Review from June 11th, 2009:

I decided to venture out into the neighborhood for a quick bite this afternoon.  I’d come across All Star Donuts (and Burgers) a while back and thought, ‘hmmm, who decides to open a donut AND burger place?’ And, more importantly, how do the two tie in together?  Walking in, I noticed that the place looks like an old-time donut shop as well as an inner city deli.  The donuts are smack in the middle, in a pretty decent sized display case. Above the counter is a menu spread across the entire upper wall.

Along with the obligatory donuts and burgers, ASD features an assortment of other options, from sandwiches and Teriyaki Bowls to a “24-hour breakfast”.  I’m a huge fan of the 24-hour breakfast, but I opted for their daily special.  Today, they had a Roasted Turkey Sandwich, served with choice of fries or onion rings and a can of soda for $6.95 plus tax.

I wasn’t sure what came on the Roasted Turkey Sandwich, and I forgot to ask, but it had pickles, onions, lettuce, tomato and mayo (I would have requested no mayo, had I remembered).  Preparation took about 5 minutes, in which time I tried to get a better idea of their menu.  For such a small place, they have a large variety of items on the menu!

As for portions, I would say there was more than enough.  Sandwich was nicely prepared with moist, mostly dark meat; very juicy.  The pickles were also a nice touch and brought out the flavor of the turkey.  The fries were slightly overcooked, but surprisingly not too greasy as overcooked fries can sometimes be.  I wonder what type of grease they fry them in?

Next time I go back- which I’m sure I will at some point- I’ll have to try their 24-hour breakfast.  Pancakes, French Toast, Omelets and even Corn Beef Hash, whenever you want it!  Oh, and I’ve heard they have pretty decent burgers to boot.
