Customer Reviews

Our family has been eating here for over 20+ years. Kayla takes such great care of us and we appreciate her SO MUCH!!! Thank you Kayla! Keep being the amazing person you are!

The absolute best place around for donuts and sausage rolls! Been coming here for decades. Don't know where any of the negative reviews are coming from, I've tried all the other donut shops in and around the area and nothing else compares. I honestly can't believe how much better their sausage rolls and donuts are than any other place in town. I've been there at different times and days, everything has always been fresh

I?ve lived in this town for 34 years, and this has been my favorite donut place in town for like 30 of those years. I?m not sure if someone else bought it, or what?s going on because here lately there?s barely any eclairs, no 2% milk, NO milk at all today. As well as no donut holes at all? What the heck man?

My family and I always enjoy the donuts and kolaches we get from here and the pricing is great

I have to say this is one of the worst donut shops that I have been to. I ordered 3 different kinds of donuts and the sausage rolls and each and every one of them were hard. I'm quite sure they were left from the day before because this was at 7:30 in the morning. I'll continue to go to the one on Renfro.

Donuts are good, Great service, price is right

This is the gold standard for donuts! Perfect icing ratio, soft inside, slightly crusty plain/chocolate donuts. The old-fashioned/cake/buttermilk style are to die for!!

Definitely not Southern Maid donuts! The ladies were nice but that?s all the good I can say about this place. The donuts taste weird, they don?t taste stale but they don?t taste fresh either. They are soft, but they have some sort of funky taste to them it?s hard to describe. The chocolate doesn?t even taste like chocolate, it literally just tastes like sugar paste. Me and my family couldn?t even finish a full one each, we tossed the rest in the trash. Will not be going back.

Best donuts and pig n blankets around in Burleson, Been going here since a kid. just make sure you get there early they close around noon.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Pigs in a blanket are nasty and stale. They split the sausage in half to give you the illusion that it's bigger than it actually is. They taste like they were made last week. Breading has no flavor at all, and they just slap a piece of cheese in the middle. They are the worst thing I ever tasted. What a waste of money. It amazes me that someone could mess up something so simple but yall sure did. Too many other options around town to eat this slop. Go somewhere else.

Yall I've never had donuts like this place. omg the fluffy texture of the donuts. the icing and omg anything with cinnamon so freaking good. I'm already craving to go back tomorrow. My husband doesn't like donuts but he was asking me to go back hahaha. this will be our new go to donut place

The employee was very nice which made me feel more comfortable with just that, so great job to her and the baker for doing such a great job making these delicious donuts! I will be back.

Highly recommended I've had every donut in Johnson county none of them are even close to being this good my kids and I have ate here the last 10 yrs and the owner has always been good to us she is such a sweet lady

Employee was nice. Donuts were just ok. They felt and tasted like were old though instead of fresh fried.

It kinda stunk in there and the store didn't look very clean. Donuts tasted old.. Ruined my appetite a bit and won't be back.

I've been in there a couple times, the donuts were stale and the shop is not in great shape. I also think they sold me an expired Yoohoo. I don't think I'll be going back.

This is not a Sothern Maid Donut Store.. they are using a quality name and registered trademark illegally.. .. nosign, noboxes, what a disgrace.... I mean dont label itself southern maid.. really should be illegal

Finally stopped and So far everything ive tried is amazing. They were very kind and it has that hometown feel ive been missing from pretty much everywhere now days.

There is no Southern Maid Donuts here. Must have closed. You know it is Southern Maid Donuts when they put them in the Famous Green Box.

Service was horrible she rushed us and there were flys on the donuts and she also said "stop making donuts no one is comeing and we wont even sell these"

Donuts are ok. Really wish they would change the name on gps. It comes up as southern maid donuts and this is not what it is.

Ridiculously overpriced. Its fried dough. Of course with all the jesus references, I should have known. 95% of their stuff is from yesterday.....

Love this place! Kali always has a smile on her face and the pastries are awesome!
