Beaver's Dough-Joe

About

Beaver's Dough-Joe is a beloved family-owned donut shop in the Karns neighborhood of Knoxville, part of a family of three shops named after local high school mascots (Admiral's, Beaver's, and Panther's Dough-Joe). Known for their outstanding yeast donuts and signature Beaver Tail — a massive apple fritter-style creation — they make everything fresh daily at one location to maintain quality. When they sell out, they close for the day, which speaks to both their popularity and commitment to freshness. A true Knoxville institution recommended by Visit Knoxville's official tourism guide.
