Customer Reviews

We ordered 2 dozen donuts and 1/2 dozen donut holes, Mary Lees only gave us the bag in the picture. I called the shop and the guy I spoke to was rude and stated that we were out and there is nothing I can do. They had our phone number and could have let the door dasher know they couldnt fulfill our order before letting us wait and receive a ridiculous bag they delivered. Will not be ordering from there again the service is terrible and communication is not there for the customers.

Ordered delivery from them. Paid $50 for 2 dozen donuts and donut holes. We received two very small bags of maybe 6 donut holes and that was it. Called them to ask what happened and they decided to tell us, ?We probably ran out. I don?t know what to tell you.? Very unprofessional and was not very kind on the phone. Do not recommend.

I've come here tons of times before for their delicious donuts, but this time I tried the boudin kolaches, WOW!!!! They're absolutely delicious!!! And the service here is always so friendly and nice!

I ordered delivery thru Doordash only problem I had was the glaze was a little too thick it's normally evenly spread even the doughnut hole glaze was extra messy and thick.

Kolaches were an absolute rip off. Donuts were good. Very disappointed for the price

Best donuts EVER! Great service!

Sign says open at 5 am I showed up at 530 not open

110% recommend!! They did a custom order for donuts for our gender reveal party. They listened closely to what we wanted and blew our expectations out of the water! The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were happy and satisfied. They wished us good luck and congratulations! The donuts looked and tasted amazing! They were very appreciative of our business and it was the best service we?ve received from any business in a very long time! We can?t wait to visit this location agai

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE SERVICE AND FOOD. MY CUSTOMERS WERE SOOOO DISAPPOINTED. DO BETTER MARY LEE...

DO NOT GO HERE! been craving Mary lees and got so disappointed. Idk who is running this place but our donuts were ice cold, didn?t offer to heat up the things we got. And my dozen donut holes I had to spit out because it tasted like chemicals!!! I?m pissed!!!

I requested 2dozon doughnuts. One hot glazed, as he was just taking them out. And one of chocolate glazed. First he just left several dozen hot ones sitting there.Then he took those that were no longer hot and added a hot one on each end of six, So only 4 were actually hot out of the entire dozen. He smirked at me as he boxed them. $25 too much. I won't be back with that type of service. I will go to Sammy's!

This place is awful!!! They go crazy with the glaze. I watched a dude go over the donuts with the glaze... it was ridiculous!! Less is more!! Not only were the donuts soaked with glaze, but they tasted weird. Money gone! We won't be back.

Hours of operation says they open at 5am. I showed up at 5:20am and was told the cook wasn?t there and it would be another hour after he shows up. That?s fine I?ll go down the road to another shop that opens on time.

Donuts are great! They are also usually very courteous I am a habitual donut eater. The only downside to Mary Lee's in Walker, is that in my frequent attempts to get donuts in the morning I am met with a sincere problem. The listed opening time for Mary Lee's is 5:00 a.m. I am at Mary Lee's to get donuts about 2 to 3 times a week at a 5:35 a.m. much to my disappointments, they are still closed at 5:35. I do not understand the purpose for this extended period of not opening in the morning, but I do not unfor

3 stars because everything says open at 5am but I'm here at 6am and the doors are locked

My grandson wanted chocolate sprinkle donuts at 1030 on a Friday morning, and this little place saved the day!!

Me my son and my Grandmaw have been going to the walker location for years. The owner and workers are so friendly. By far the best donuts around and the nicest employees. Would recommend to anyone

Way to much glaze on donut holes. They were caked with it. Will not be back

UNPROFESSIONAL! Wednesday 1-15-20 waiting on donut shop to open! Sign says will open 7:45 -8:00 what kind of donut place is not open on a Wednesday morning??? You would think it would open early..trying to bring donuts for staff at work and little boy before school..VERY DISAPPOINTED don't write reviews actually my first time but had too..terrible for customers so it's 8.:00 4 customers waiting outside wow..who going to buy the donuts that their making.??..ignored us at the door they were frying the donuts.

This shop is so far the only place to make an Apple fritter delicious and moist-like it should be. I had saved half of it for later and it still tasted 100. Best Apple fritters around.

Great Selection! Delicious too. Very nice and friendly staff. As a bonus they will make king cakes year round with proper notice!

Always welcoming! Always delicious!!

Very delicious donuts. Great selection. Polite, clean, efficient.
