Customer Reviews

They forgot to include an item in my order. This is the SECOND failure to serve me my order correctly. I can over look once. Not twice. Best check your order or go somewhere else.

Yo, this donut spot is straight bussin?! The vibes are vibey, and the flavors are on another level no cap. Those glazed donuts? They slap hard. The unique combos are a total vibe check. The squad behind the counter is hella chill and always down to hook u up with the best. If u?re not sliding through here for the donuts, u?re missing the wave. Fr, 12/10!

This was a taller apple fritter than at other locations. Since it was a lot taller, there was a lot more dough in the center. Also a lot less glaze icing.

My family and I really enjoy the atmosphere and delicious donuts at the establishment. The kolaches are fresh and don?t forget the mustard! We go every chance we get. Be sure to get coffee as well it is just right!

Best donut shop around. No other brand is better and no other location is as good as this location. Friendly staff every time.

Awesome donuts my only complaint is the apple fritters (which we buy alot of) are cooked to death just about black everytime we buy them. They would be delicious and perfect if they cut the cook time down about 2-4 mins if not more. I bring the kids 1-2 times a week and they love all the donuts, just fix the fritters and u get 5+ star review ??

My wife and i have gone before 6am the last 2 visits (the most previous being last sunday) and each time the donuts were ridiculously cold. We purchased a dozen glazed thinking they would be the freshest item available and they all tasted like day old donuts! Previous service in the last year was great, even early in the morning; unfortunately this most recent time the young lady working the drive thru had short answers and an un-welcoming attitude.

Mary Lee?s is the WORST donut shop around. Their donuts are ok when hot but over the years the dough on their kolaches have gotten smaller and smaller. Not to mention it?s a freaking hot dog when other places put full size SAUSAGES in theirs for the same price!!! I?d suggest you try other places and open your eyes at how bad Mary Lee?s is overcharging for what you get.

Love this donut shop. It's close by my house so it's easy for me to get donuts for breakfast. I usually don't eat donuts real often, but this shop really knows how to make them great !!!

Supposed to be open yet the whole building is dark not open for my son's birthday. This place is ok just because there are no other places right in Watson. Staff is barely polite. Beyond disappointed this morning! GET DELICIOUS DONUTS FROM VINCENT ROAD OVER HERE INSTEAD!!

The taste is good, nice. My only complaint is that the doughnuts have amount of filling. And the glaze runs too quickly

Every time I'm back home, I go here. The staff is great, the donuts are amazing, and the service is quick. The prices are very reasonable too! Can't recommend this place enough.

Not much ?Glaze? on the glazed donuts. Apple fritters are not the same. Kolaches are pretty good. Also prices are higher at this location than other locations.

This place is a Watson Louisiana go to place for Doughnuts And kolaches ,. These are little hotdog sized sausages in jalapeno cheddar cheese, cheese, wrapped in a blanket. Real good before or after Church!!

We love our monthly doughnut visits. The staff is friendly! And also they give you a free doughnut on your birthday!

Awesome donuts and quick service!

I drove 9 miles to get there just to find out they were closed again not the 1st time I have done this I know there is a pandemic going around but they have been opened before today very very disappointed to wanting Walker is the same way I went there at 6:31 morning they were closedNot too happy most to close every once in a while also lost a

My favorite donuts in the Watson area, with a great staff and a lovely owner. A great place to go to get the screeching donut monkey off of your back.

It's got to be Mary Lee's, or they're not real doughnuts! This particular location is always friendly, and they are quick to keep the line moving.

Very nice, friendly service everytime I visit. Everything is always hot and fresh. I am glad I live so close to this Mary Lees location.

Amazing went through the drive thru after a long line and still got fresh hot glazed donuts

Love the donuts. And the young man at the drive thru is top notch.

The owner of this place is rude and doesn't care about customer service. This place is always out of everything im looking for. What they offer instead is usually stale and cold. We are done giving this place chances.

There are 10 seats, asap delivery and a drive-thru.

Best donuts ever. They literally melt in your mouth. Consistently made to perfection

Awesome doughnuts and pigs in a blanket! Good service too!

Quick place in Watson to grab breakfast. Friendly service, drive thru, great coffee and good donuts

I hope I just called them on a bad time. Almost no glaze on the glazed donut. See picture. Over a dollar per glazed donut.

Always great donuts! Very nice people as well. ;)

Perfect donuts at a decent price. Quick service and a convenient drive through.

Great donuts. Good variety to pick from. And their chocolate donut holes are to die for.

Fast service. Easy to follow drive thru. Good food.

Light and fluffy, warm and light sugar flakes.. surprisingly delicious and not to sweet
