Having read good things about The Donut Hole, we thought we should try this place out. They not only serve donuts, but they also serve breakfast and lunch. After a morning at the beach, I loaded up the family with promises of both lunch and donuts for dessert.
When we arrived, the place was really busy with the late breakfast and early lunch crowd. A busy restaurant is usually a sign of good food, but our table was passed by several times before a waitress finally took our orders after we had been seated for about fifteen minutes. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and Fries, which I now regret. The chicken fried steak was comparable to the quality that one would find in a high school cafeteria and the fries were equally bad. Neither tasted homemade and I strongly suspect they were purchased frozen from a supplier.

My wife ordered the BLT, which was better than my meal and had bacon that was thick and flavorful. While not the best BLT I have ever had, it was certainly a step up from my meal. She ordered the potato salad as her side and it left a lot to be desired. Neither of us cared for the taste of this item.

The donuts ended up being the highlight of the meal, but I feel they were highly overrated as well. I sampled the Cookies and Cream, Chocolate, and Chocolate Angel. I usually don't order cream filled donuts, but the two I ordered looked too good to pass up. The Chocolate Angel was filled with chocolate, covered in powdered sugar, and was my favorite of the three I tried. The chocolate donut was average compared to other donut places and I did not care much for the Cookies and Cream variety. Even the crumbled Oreos on top didn't do it for me.

Maybe I built this place up too much in my head due to the reviews I had read, but I was upset that I had wasted my family's time dining here. The service was extremely slow and the food was disappointing. If I ever go here again, I will only go for donuts for the kids and skip the other options.
