Donut Stop — Restaurant in Amarillo

Cherry donuts were always a good thing growing up, but they've become a one trick pony. Their "kolaches" are awful. The dough is dense, they are tiny, and the dough isn't even cooked through (raw around the sausage). And then to charge as much as they do for them is pretty rough.

They've played on their local flair for a long time. They kicked Krispy Kreme to the curb, after all.

But man, have they been going down hill.

Just like other local haunts of yesteryear (I'm looking at you, you barrel shaped burger place), service and quality hasn't been able to keep up and there are other locally owned businesses that are doing it better and cheaper.

You get 2 stars for still being a fond childhood memory and my daughter still enjoys a cherry every now and then, but 85 cents is all I'm willing to shill at this place anymore. I've become partial to my friends down the street in the yellow building where service and quality is...

Frankly, I had a mixed "good/bad" experience in my only visit to this Donut Stop location: *First of all, I was a little disappointed in the service. The employee behind the counter was borderline rude.,but maybe she was having a bad day or something...who knows. *I was sold an apple fritter that was so thin that you could probably have shaved with it. I'll tell you, definitely not worth the $2.00 I paid for it...HOWEVER, the taste was quite good. *My wife really enjoyed her Bavarian Cream donut (maybe I should have had that instead of the apple fritter). *The coffee was excellent...HOWEVER the extremely cheap cup lids provided were completely unacceptable, unless you actually enjoy hot coffee all over you and your car. NOTE: Donut Stop management should go to a Toot-N-Totum or a Pak-A-Sack to see what a good disposable cup and lid looks like.

In conclusion: This not the best Donut Stop in Amarillo, but with a little more effort...

I went there one afternoon, returning a donut cake for my daughter‘s birthday. It was soggy with grease. The owner was there collecting his money out of the cash register. I was told he was the one that had to take care of it. I stood there for at least 20 minutes just he and I and one employee left in the store. He ignored me, looked right through me until I wouldn’t let him play that game any longer.. He turned around and said “oh did you need to see me” I already heard the staff tell him I was there and needed to see him . Such arrogance! He threw out $$ (the cost of the donut cake)from his pocket. Quality and service has really gone downhill with the new ownership (2014). Donuts now are not crispy on the outside w/ dry glaze. they’re now soggy and sweaty with no glaze. I miss the...
