I don't eat a lot of donuts, so I don't have a huge amount of donut "experience" from which to draw. As a side note - I just don't give out 5 stars loosly. In fact I rarly give anyone 5 Stars. 5 Stars to me means everything was above and beyond my expectations. Lamar's is donuts done the way donuts should be. Which is why I didn't give them 5 Stars.
There's not much more to say - every flavor they make is delicious - I don't even know if I could pick a favorite. They are all absolutely delicious (They are not overly sweet like Krispy Kreme ). I prefer them greatly over Krispy Kreme and of course any grocery store donuts.
Let me tell you why we recently stopped here to get some donuts. I was watching a TV called "Shark Tank" . Shark Tank is an American reality TV series. The show features a panel of "potential investors", called "sharks", who consider offers from "aspiring entrepreneurs" seeking investments for their business or product. The entrepreneur or "contestant" can make a deal on the show if a panel member is interested.
I saw a a compay on the show called Tom+Chee. They serve all kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches and old fashioned tomato soup. Anyway the featured a Grilled Cheese Donut ( a glazed donut cooked kije tou would any other grilled cheese sandwich. I was intrigued by this thus the need to visit Lamar's Donut Shop. Plus I needed a large sized donut and Lamar's are bigger than most other donuts. By the way the donut grilled cheese sandwich we made was a little to sweet for my liking but everyone else who tried it, loved it.
FOOD: Just what you would expect from a fantasic donut shop - delicious.
PRICE: reasonable prices. SERVICE: customer service here isreally nice and helpful. AMBIENCE: Looks pretty much like any other donut shop CONCLUSION: Donuts the way they are supposed to be, which actually isn't as easy to come by as you would expect. If you're into dounuts seriously this place!
