So so good!! They made a donut cake for my daughter’s birthday and it was 10/10!!!
This is not the same place I remember.
Used to go here once a week on Saturdays around 10 years ago with fond memories of the apple fritters containing big chunks of apples and crispy fried bits. In fact, the fritters were still warm from the fryer. I’ve had a lot of apple fritters since and the old Mary Lou’s couldn’t be beat.
Back then, I loved to see all the older folks sitting around giving attention to my baby boy at the time. Always had service with a smile. Sometimes it was hard finding parking since this was the spot to get together for older folks.
Got to visit again on a Saturday. No cars in the parking lot, it was completely empty inside too. Service was meh. I got the apple fritter again, paying double from 10 years ago, and there were hardly any apples and was not freshly made. Sad to see the old Mary Lou’s is gone.
If you just want a donut, it’s fine.

Donuts were way too sweet. Caked in liquid powdered sugar. To each their own, but it wasn't the flavor I was looking for. Service and employees are awesome though.

I’m writing this about a very recent experience I had visiting this place. My wife had asked me to go to Mary Lou‘s donuts for two cream horns for breakfast. I wanted to get a cup of coffee so I agreed. On entering the store there was nobody there but the workers. Three ladies were behind the counter And one young man wandering around the store. I walked up to the counter and waited for someone to address me and ask me what I would like. I must’ve stood there for three full minutes with the three ladies basically ignoring me. Nobody said hi, nobody greeted me, nobody asked me what I would like, or even to say, we’ll be with you in a minute. That was a very uncomfortable feeling. At that point, I almost walked out. I wish I would’ve. Finally, the young man that was walking around, came behind the counter, where the three ladies we’re still, and asked if I would like a bag or a box. At that point I decided that I would get what I came for and leave. It’s questionable if I am ever going go back there again. That was a very uncomfortable feeling. It was strange that they were obviously workers there, and I understand that they could’ve been doing other tasks. But nobody greeted me. Nobody said hello. Nobody said will be with you in a second. It was just uncomfortable standing there Like I wasn’t supposed to be there.

The cinnamon rolls and doughnuts are always a delicious treat, for the day. The occasional stops will be in the future. 🍩

I ordered a dozen yeast donuts for my grandkids abd I this morning. I had them delivered. They did not put fresh ones . They were wet and soggy. This was bullshit. I order enough at the window, to know this is bullcrap.I pushed edit to be able to take a picture. I do not see where to do this.

First time here this morning, and the donuts were so fresh, and delicious. I will definitely be back.
This was my favorite place to get doughnuts. I couldn’t wait as a kid for my Great Aunt to have them when I came to visit. Lately they just seem over produced and like there is no care in me even reviving the doughnut that I ask for and pay for. I usually prefer the round iced with the fluffy middle. Some days I get it and it doesn’t even have the fluff , like today
Huge assortment and selections. Superb service and staff along with extremely kind and happy service. Easy access off the road.
