Mary Lee Donuts — Restaurant in Baton Rouge

This Mary Lee at Jefferson and Drusilla has been un-palatable 2 of 3 times. I literally spit my last bite out. The doughnuts have a smoky essence of old oil or they might cook the doughnuts in the same oil as their jalapeno pigs in a blanket. I tried to let the lady know about my last unpleasant experience, but I didn't feel like she understood me very well as English is not her first language. I love foreign folks, but this shop can't handle English questions or concerns very well, to the detriment of customer service. I love Mary Lee spots. Favorite 2 are on Florida near Sherwood and Perkins...

The lady that took my order was very rude. I was looking for a bathroom, started walking toward the back and she yells out from the kitchen "WHERE YOU GOING " I stopped in my tracks, said to the bathroom is that ok, then the man who was working in the kitchen also smiled and said yes, bathroom right there, ok. He was a lot nicer than the grouchy lady was. I have never been yelled at for looking for a bathroom...

The staff is nice enough, but it definitely does not overshadow the huge price increase compared to the other Mary Lee. $3 for a single, tiny Very much not fresh regular kolache. $3 is an egregious amount for this little bitty thing. The Mary Lee on Florida boulevard does nuke their kolaches as well, but they definitely use something different because their kolaches are so much better. I do not at recommend...
