Texas Sized Glazed Donut
by Round Rock Donuts, Round Rock, Texas (near Austin)
Everything is bigger in Texas... even the donuts!
The most famous donuts in Texas costs $12 and weighs a whopping two pounds. The legendary Texas Sized Donut from Round Rock Donuts just north of Austin, Texas is a state icon.

Round Rock Donuts has been serving up their world-famous donuts since 1926 when the Lone Star Bakery first opened their doors on Main Street in Round Rock, Texas.
Texas Sized Donuts, like their name suggests, are gigantic donuts that fill up an entire donut box. They are definitely meant for sharing; there's no way anyone should (or probably even could!) eat an entire one in one sitting!
You can order a Texas Sized Donut glazed, glazed in chocolate, or half-and-half. I ordered a glazed donut. To be honest, I should have just gotten a single donut, but I wanted to check out their monstrous signature donut myself.
I ordered a glazed donut at the ordering window and stood under the awning with other customers to wait. Despite the queue of people, it was only a few moments before my donut was delivered to me in front of the store.
The Texas Sized Donut was softer than a standard donut. The inside was soft and cakelike, and very remarkably light.
I really enjoyed the flavor and texture of this donut. It was a solid donut, but next time I think I'll order something a little less ridiculous (unless I'm headed to a party!).

Menu
There are way more options than just the Texas Sized Donut. In fact, Round Rock Donut's classic World Famous Round Rock is worth a trip all on its own (it's the same dough as the Texas Sized Donut but is a much more reasonable standard donut size).
While donuts are what makes Round Rock Donuts famous, they also sell klobasneks (savory kolaches), cinnamon rolls, and other pastries.
The Texas Sized Donut costs $11.98. A Round Rock Donut is 99¢ or $9.98 for a dozen.
