Lard Lad Donuts

I love doughnuts so I couldn't help myself from getting the big pink! (It's as big as advertised!) I tried to eat it my myself but I'll for sure have leftovers. It was a quick service stand and the service was quick as advertised. You're outside by the lake enjoying the florida weather inside Simpsons land so ambiance is fun! Pro tip if you want a big pink and there's a line at lard land you can get a big pink at Kwik-e-mart

When we were in Springfield, USA, home of the Simpsons at Universal Studios Florida, my wife knew we had to get the Big Pink donut ($10.99) from Lard Lad Donuts. She was already familiar with it from reading theme park blogs and watching theme park vlogs. In general, as fans of The Simpsons, we thought Springfield, USA and Lard Lad Donuts were a lot of fun. If you visit Universal Studios Florida, I recommend checking out this area.Lard Lad Donuts first appeared in episode 134 of The Simpsons (season 7, episode 6), Treehouse of Horror VI (1995). The donut shop's giant mascot, Lard Lad, is recreated in real life here. He holds a giant donut, just like in the animated sitcom. It's glorious (and hilarious). Chief Wiggum can also be found outside the shop, enjoying a coffee and Big Pink donut himself. I love it.The Big Pink is a giant yeast donut (as opposed to cake donut) with pink icing and sprinkles. Taste and texture-wise, it was average/fine, hence my three-star rating. But, the novelty of the shop is fun and the Big Pink itself is unique. In addition to the Big Pink, which is the shop's most popular item, Lard Lad also offers regular-sized donuts, apple fritters, ice cream waffle cones, sundaes, and donut sundaes with a variety of toppings. And coffee too, of course. Mmm...Four of us split the Big Pink. I was already full from a plate of Scotch eggs, toffee pudding, and two Butterbeers at the Leaky Cauldron. The Big Pink was a nice little sweet treat as we made our way through Springfield from Diagon Alley to the E.T. Adventure. If I ever come back, I'd like to try one of those donut sundaes.Service was speedy.Lard Lad Donuts last appeared in episode 762 (season 35, episode 12), Lisa Gets an F1 (2024). I remember it best from episode 741 (season 34, episode 13), The Many Saints of Springfield (2023).

What in the planet is going on with these folks? Filled the coffee to the very rim, literally overflowing, had to spill coffee on the side of the kiosk to be able to even walk. The guy (Santiago) closed the window right as we made it to the front and simply said "go to the other window". Everyone behind us was like "huh??". Donut was super dry and the coffee tasted like brown colored water. Do not sacrifice service for speed. Focus on providing great service one customer at a time.

This is a spot in the park worth stopping by to grab a huge donut with pink frosting and sprinkles. The lady at the counter was super nice and she had a stock of individually boxed giant donuts ready to sell. We were not expecting much of a quality donut but I must admit that the donut was pretty tasty. Since I am a huge Simpsons fan, I didn't mind paying $12 for one giant donut. This is not a sit down spot but more of a kiosk stand with few order to go windows. There are some benches and tables around in case you would like to take a break.

A little kiosk located within Universal Studios Florida. The food is your typical theme park donuts with a few variety such as sprinkles that are supposed to be like the lard lad Donuts from The Simpsons as well as chocolate donuts and regular vanilla donuts. The whole get up about this location is that you are buying it while you are immersed within Springfield which is where the Simpsons live.The donuts are very generic however they do offer a large land size which runs you the cost of roughly $10 and can easily feed you and a couple friends for a quick snack while you're at the parks. These aren't your typical flavored donuts, they have more of a cake base to it so don't go thinking you are about to bite into a typical donut. They are fluffier. The flavor is absolutely phenomenal in my opinion and every time I have come here they are insanely soft and super fresh! Definitely one of the snacks that I have to get every single time I'm here! I absolutely adore the flavor of the frosting because it isn't too sweet and it gives it the nice sweetness to the donut as you bite into it. The sprinkles are quite literally the best topping and the nice little crunch rounds out the entire body of the flavor making it perfect in my opinion!The staff is very friendly however I have noticed that towards the end of the day you can kind of tell they are getting fatigued from working all day however that has never stopped them from serving me with a smile on their face which always makes me happy to stop here as well! They also offer sodas to go along with the absolutely succulent Donuts that they sell!

Can we disappointed in this location? The one in California has way more selection of donuts, but the donuts are still really tasty. What they have that this one does have soft serve ice cream, which is really good but overall, I wish they had more of the selection of donuts that the California one has.

I have been eyeing this spot since we became pass holders in October of last year, and finnallyyyy, we tried the Big Pink donut on my birthday. Surprisingly, it was REALLY GOOD. Not dry, the perfect sweetness... HUGE and absolutely shareable. When I go back to the park with my family, we will get this over and over and over again.

This is a stand at Universal Studios in Orlando. We always make sure to get one of the pink donuts here! They are massive and one of the best donuts we've ever had! They also started offering ice cream donut desserts since we've been here years ago. ***Make sure to get one right away when they open or wait in line to ensure you get a fresh one! Also... eat it right away or the icing melts off and not as good.

Bought the humongous pink donut for $9 and some change because my teens insisted on it. I don't understand the hype. Basic, dry as a desert pink donut with sprinkles, and the workers that was there on 12/20 were kinda rude -_- as if the customers wanting donuts were a burden. I forgot to take photos of the Apple fritter- that was a disappointment as well. I couldn't taste the apples or cinnamon in it. The cookies n cream D'oh nut were pretty tasty, however. Love the photo op with Chief Wiggum in the front.

Lard Lad is such a awesome Quick service!!!! They are always fresh that day and delicious. The Big Pink and Apple Fritter are $7 but huge!!!!! You could easilySplit one of these with three people. They also have a donut and ice cream sundae combo that is a bowl of soft serve with a donut on top. This stand also accepts certain Passholder discounts!!!! Definitely give them a try when you're in Universal Orlando.
