| - Dammit. I could have sworn someone already stepped to the plate and gave DH their first non-five-star review. Looks like it got filtered. Oh well. Here's mine.
Honestly, my initial reaction was just A-OK. I was there at 9pm about a month ago. My donut of choice is usually a custard-filled and I was surprised that they didn't have any considering they open at 8pm. I ended up going with something similar - a cream cheese filled donut. That's new. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. It was pretty good, but it couldn't overcome my disappointment.
After that visit, I found out that my cousin's BF is the son of DH's owner. Weird coincidence. I was at his house last weekend to watch UFC 126 and he had a box of DH donuts. So after trying one more donut, I'm going with four stars. When you compare DH to some of the uninspiring creations from some of the chains, combined with the fact that they are a Mom & Pop with strange overnight hours, they are definitely worthy of some love.
By the way, I guess they used to be open 24 hours back when the sons helped out at the store. When they moved on to their own jobs, they decided to close during the hours that were historically the slowest.
Also, as another reviewer pointed out, there is a certain time when all the good stuff comes out. The other reviewer says 10-11pm, but Chris (the owner's son) says mornings are best - around 8am or so. Not that their selection at all times of the night is anything to sneeze at.
If the place wasn't so damn far from me, I'd head back down there and see if I can get my freakin' custard-filled! (Assuming they make them).
