Customer Reviews

I travel to Westlake to work often from Georgia and these are hands down the best donuts I?ve had anywhere in between the two places. It?s definitely my go-to place now. Try it?you won?t be disappointed! The line gets long but moves quickly so don?t let that keep you away.

Excellent excellent excellente! These donuts were DELICIOUS. I got a bavarian cream donut and of course, glaze. We had to wait a few for the glaze so you know what that meant?yup hot fresh donuts. Also wanted to try the boudin kolache and it was perfect, little spicy, not too much rice, and dough had a little crunch. I had breakfast and lunch at the same time! Oh and the coffee-with the first sip it was robust fresh flavor. We are visiting but this will be our spot whenever in town! Very friendly and respec

First of all the service is great. Always smiling faces. Not a long wait. I buy donuts holes every Sunday. They are so delicious. Melts in your mouth.

The absolute best donuts shop in SWLA! If you thought Nelson's was good DINOS is TOP NOTCH. I Tried them out 1 time and have been a repeat customer every morning since. THEY NEVER DISAPOINT.

BEST. DONUTS. EVER. The crew is always top notch. They are almost always busy, but the line moves along fine. They also have my favorite chai lattes. Give them a try if you haven't. You won't be disappointed!!

Never had a Ham & Cheese Kolache before, but was tasty. Overall tasted okay, but not the best.

Best donuts around. And the cinnamon twist are so good fresh and warm!!

Great donuts. Filled full , not just bread. Service is good too

Busy place, but the donuts are melt in your mouth good. Get them hot with a cup of coffee! Make, you want to slap your mama.

The food is great. Took me a long time to do this because I normally don't give reviews, but if you don't have an extra twenty minutes - 30 minutes to add to your drive time trying to go to work in the morning, I do not recommend stopping here. I get the whole customer service thing and getting to know your customers, But whenever there is only two cars ahead of me and I have to sit and wait while you vist.. I can't. I try to support local, but I just don't have that kind of time and I know a lot of other p

Best donuts you'll ever have. Local favorite awesome and authentic.

The glazed donuts are sooooooo freaking delicious!

This place has been recommended to me for a while now and I'm so Glad I had the opportunity to finally go!!! The pig in the blanket was good! The glazed donut and hole was great! And the blueberry donut was spectacular! But above Everything...the Ladies who work in there are Exceptional!!! Thank y'all again for such Awesome service and food ??

I had read the reviews and talked with people about Dino's Donuts. They have the best Boudin kolache period. My wife had one, and I had a sausage and cheese one. Hers was by far the best, and I wished I had gotten one (I did take a bite of it). Based on the number of cars in line, I could tell it is a local favorite.

Always smilling faces every visit, in my opinion this place has the best donuts anywhere around, also the best kolachies, and so much more... if you are in the area and wsnt to see why westlake only goes to dinos stop by and find out

Best donuts in Westlake for many, many years! Kolaches with jalape?os are good too.

Looks like a famous spit as the drive through was packed so walked up to the window to order. Friendly staff and took care of my order quickly. Office staff ate the kolaches and donuts pretty fast! ??

As a retired military person that has traveled all over the world and a decent portion of the U.S. I can say that nothing I've tried anywhere compares to the delicious donuts that Dino's has been selling since I was a kid here. It's not even a contest really, Dinos is that good.

We are traveling through the area and found this place for some morning pastries. These are light fluffy donuts, not the dense Cake like donuts. They are very good, but be prepared for long lines. A lot of others know about and like this place. We'll be back on our next trip through the area.

I have been coming here with my grandfather since I was a young child. The donuts have always been amazing! The staff has always been friendly and helpful. I sadly don?t live in town but everytime im in the area I always make sure to go get a dozen to take back home with me. This will always be my favorite donut shop.

Absolutely, beyond a shaddow of a doubt, the BEST breakfast establishment I?ve ever gone to. The service is impeccable. The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and go by! You will not regret it!

This place is amazing! By far, the best donuts I ever had were at this place, and I don't even live in Westlake! If you are in the area, go straight to Dino's without hesitation!!

The doughnuts are the best I've tasted in a long while. Flaky and light and not doughy. Pigs in the blankets are huge and delicious. Staff is friendly and quick, serving both a full drive thru and walk-up windows and the prices are great!!!

My daughter and I were visiting from out of town and I noticed Dino?s driving through. We love donuts, plus looked like a neat local spot (my favorites). We went back the next morning to try it out. The donut holes and cinnamon rolls were warm and melt in your mouth! The jalape?o kolache was to die for! Needless to say, we came back for more. On top of amazing food, service was super friendly, fast and prices were great! Will definitely be back anytime we are in the area!

Thank you Dino's for providing super consistent, and delicious donuts. I refuse to spend money on a similar, sub-par product. With each visit, I know that I'll get something made with love and care. I'm not even much of a 'something sweet for breakfast' type of person. But Dino's is too good to pass up. It also helps that my kids love the holes and the chocolate-covered donuts. My personal favorites are the regular glazed and cinnamon rolls.

These doughnuts and Kolaches are dangerously good. Some of the best I?ve ever had! I wish I didn?t live all the way in San Antonio. Only get them when we visit. Maybe that?s a good thing. Lol

Have eaten Dino?s donuts for over 23 years!! Raised my kids on them. Best donuts in the parish!! Dino is a wonderful man who loves his community. My sister and i both worked there for years and in fact i met my wonderful husband there. Kolachies are so delicious and great variety!! I wont buy my donuts anywhere else!!

We haven't lived in this town for many years, but come here to visit family. Dinos is the first thing we get the morning after we get into town. They by far have the best donuts Ive ever eaten to include Krispy Kreme and I enjoy those donuts.

Still the best donuts in the area ever since I was a little girl living in westlake. I haven?t lived in westlake in over 20 years but let me tell you I don?t mind making that drive from lake Charles for these donuts bc NO OTHER DONUT PLACE in SWLA CAN TOUCH THESE!!! Plus, you get that down home southern Kind hearted service!

Always delicious, almost always friendly, and open until 11am on weekdays.

I love going here and the boudin kolachs are amazing and I love how they have the bread on them. The doughnuts are the best even when cold and they have pretty good prices

Them glazed donuts are THE best! Hot and soft and doughy. I ? it!! Pigs in blankets are great too. Not all bread. Just the right mixture. Staff was very polite!

Love the friendly staff here. I don?t know how they manage to pull it off so early. Hats off to you guys! Delicious donuts and smiling happy faces makes mornings a little less painful.

These are the best donuts in westlake, I?ve stopped here multiple times on my way to work and haven?t had a bad experience yet. Donuts always taste fresh, and the service is great. They are closed Mondays for some reason unfortunately.

Great donuts, quick enough service, and always friendly and accurate. Dinos is an institution!!!

Thank you Dino?s for supporting our Westlake Little League Allstars 2023 team! We not only love your donuts but greatly appreciate your consistent generosity to our community! The Guidrys

Today at the drive through I heard my order being called out wrong. I corrected it. Once handed my bags I asked if the fritters we're apple like I ordered. The server said yes. I'm pretty sure she knew they weren't when I got home I confirmed they we're not apple. She looked half alseep during my dealing with her. So I'm not happy.

It's such a delectable treat to have Dino's. Gourmet all the way. Friendly happy employees. It was certainly worth sitting in line for cause down the road the donuts don't have flavor lol.

Dino's Donuts is a wonderful establishment. Dino's is always quick has never made a mistake with my order. The Staff at Dino's are polite and Expediant. The Kaloches (pig in a blanket) is probably the best in town. You need to try the boudin Kaloche. There are a lot of beverage options and wonderful doughnuts also. the price is fair and I commonly go out of my way to seek out this establishment. the parking lot is small but with the fast friendly staff it's a non issue

Simply the best. Folks, I live in Houston, one of the largest cities in America, and you cannot find donuts like this. Old fashioned, made from scratch, donuts right here in this little town of Westlake, Louisiana.

Just drove from buna TX just for these this morning!!!!! Never a disappointment, y'all were slammed packed and still getting orders out fast and always with a smile. Thank y'all for rocking everything, we are sitting fat and happy...

They fry their kolaches like donuts...just let that sink in for a moment. It's like a cross between a corn dog and a donut; a revelation! And, all their other standard donut shop offerings are great as well.

Dino's has had the best donuts since they opend some thirty years ago. Once you try them you will be hooked. Don't travel through Westlake and skip this hometown favorite.

I?ve been eating Dino?s donuts for 30 years and they?re absolutely the best donuts in the world! I?ve travelled all over the US and nothing compares.

Donuts here are really good :) My Grandpa gets me and my cousins donuts from here whenever we come over, and I've had donuts from here for 9 years.

Fantastic donuts. I worked here as a teen and always get donuts when I'm in town. Great staff also.

Great doughnuts and everything else they sell. Fantastic people. Great service. Even though it is crowded, service is so terrific, you are serviced in little to no time.

The standard in Donuts!! The best you can imagine! The plain glazed are the best! Light and fluffy and great icing!

I can't say enough good things about this place great service, great breakfast, best kolaches out of anywhere you could think of I mean anywhere.

DINO'S hands down is the BEST donut shop around!! The donuts are always fresh and tasty and the staff are very friendly and accommodating!!! The kolaches are delicious also!!

Stopped to get a dozen donuts for my co workers only to find there weren't any fresh donuts available. Why open at 4am if your donuts aren't ready? I was there at 445. Got stuck with what I can only assume were day old cake donuts. Wont come back here.

Best donuts and kolaches around served by super friendly staff! Go get some!

Many times my dad has gone by here and picked up donuts after work to bring home, always great! Our favorite around Moss Bluff/Westlake.

These donuts are so goooooodddd!!!! I had the boudin in a blanket and I can?t wait till they open and I?m going to get some before I head back to the airport.... because they were my favorite and I will be thinking about them till the next time I come here. Love yallll @QC_foodies on IG

Best doughnuts I've ever had. The coffee was good, too. But the doughnuts you won't find better anywhere in the Parish!

Would have been better if the donuts were hot, not a bad place just not fresh at 9am!

Love their doughnuts and Sausage Kolache. Get them every time we visit here.
