Lard Lad Donuts

Lard Lad Donuts are a fun thing to grab while you're in Simpsons Land at Universal Studios.

They have giant versions of donuts (like the size of a pizza, but a donut!), and some small donuts that you can get as a single or four pack.

However, that's really the only thing they have on offer, so it's worth a quick stop if you want a giant donut, but not much else (just Duff Beer and coffee/soda that you can get anywhere in the rest of Universal)

I feel like some of the other restaurants and shops in Simpsons Land have more theming going on compared to this.

So I recommend getting the giant donut for the comedy of it, or the smaller donut/s if you're really just feeling like a donut treat.

But just be aware this is a counter shop with not much theming like most of the rest of Simpsons Land.

What can you say. The best big donut ever! Light, fluffy, sweet glaze and perfect to share.

Such a cute little donut place. I'm a huge Simpsons fan and this was super cool. We got the pink donut. It was bigger than my face. The donut itself was good but the texture was a little bit more cakey. It was sweet though. You have too definitely get it earlier in the morning or it'll be dry. Service was pretty average.

BIG shareable donuts with flavors such as Oreo , chocolate glazed, maple bacon, and of course "the big pink" with frosting rainbow sprinkles. They also sell fountain drinks, souvenir refillable cups, milk & coffee. Stop by here for a sugary sweet treat, or take one home to give as a souvenir from Springfield! Don't forget to show your annual pass for a discount!

Honestly it's completely a gimmick and it is just the novelty of it, not sure why there are such high reviews. The donuts are dry and cold and basically just the sheer size of it is anything interesting (probably 4 donuts in 1).

They definitely need to improve the pick up mobile service. It can get chaotic if everyone is picking up at the same time. Yell out your number if you need to lol Otherwise, the donuts are good!

There wasn't anything special about the doughnut other than it was big. I think it's big enough to share with 3-4 people. It tastes like a regular doughnut. The pink one is what everyone buys but they do offer different kinds. I thought the frosting is a lot thicker than what's on a regular doughnut

Super long lines for doughnuts that aren't even fresh.

They are iconic and they are filling at $10 each!


Probably one of the lower priced food options here in the park.

They now have this chocolate doughnut with chocolate sprinkles that's new. The iconic pink one is still there and the most popular.

3 stars for super sugary old tasting doughnuts.

I've tried many a times to try to love the donuts here but it's literally a hit or miss no matter what time of day it is you can either wish for a fresh donut or get a dense soggy donut made probably the day before .

I think I remember once picking up the donut only to find runny chocolate syrup underneath.... Definitely not fresh !
Hate it when a donut leaves a chalky pasty feeling or frosting in your mouth just gross .

Needless to say the best time to grab a donut is around 11 scarf it down and then get on the rides... generally around that time there is no line at Lardlad ... however often times there is only one employee so again hit or miss on service.

It's definitely a touristy thing to do , I'd say go for it and try it out just my honest opinion I eat it almost every time I visit Universal sometimes it's good and sometimes it's just not .

Delicious, large donuts! Would recommend stopping by if you are having the craving for a sweet snack while at Universal. Had my doubts about the quality given the large size that can mess with the consistency and texture, but the donuts were soft and delicious. The size is huge so can certainly share one serving with others.

We ordered via the Universal app, which did not update us when our order was ready. When we stopped by the stand, our order was waiting or us in a bag though we needed to wait in the regular line to be helped. Not sure if it was just this day, but a kink that should hopefully be worked out.

The cafe has adjacent outdoor seating with umbrellas to enjoy your goodies.
