SOUTHERN MAID HAS BEEN A TRADITION IN OUR FAMILY FOR OVER 30 YEARS. WHEN YOU WANT A GOOD HOT FRESH DONUT. YOUR AT THE RIGHT PLACE. EXPERIENCE ALL THERE DONUTS AND DONT FORGET THERE BIG CINNAMON ROLLS. WHAT A TREAT!!!
***UPDATE - I made it to Southern Maid before I return to California. Their donuts are as good as I remember them. I bought enough to take back with me and share with friends. The line was long, but it was worth the wait!!!Even though this place was closed for the holidays when I went there, Im still giving them 5 stars! I now live in CA and everytime Im in Odessa I stop at Southern Maid. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because its a childhood favorite and Im glad theyre still in business. Im always satisfied with their donuts!!!
Amazingly awesome… good thing I am not local because I would the next applicant on my 600lb life. You gotta try them…. Be prepared to wait a few minutes in the drive thru… the morning line of cars proves they make donuts right!
Im so used to fresh hot doughnuts and this was not it...they were probably old doughnuts because they were stacked high at closing time I would assume they do that frequently. But not my cup of tea...
Delicious. Warm fresh donuts that taste soo good.
I come here twice a year from out of town. My whole family loves these donuts. They are the best hot and fresh donuts ever.
Good way to start your morning.... I love Southern Maid Donuts!! ! There isnt another donut as good as these., Thanks Southern Maid... They are always on top of getting customers served. With a happy smile and friendly face.
Southern maid donuts are the bomb I dont buy donuts anywhere else they are just so good the ones on 8th n Hancock.. Delicious
Been going here for 20 yrs. Always going back. Great donuts! Thank you, Fatty.
Friendly and courteous staff. Fast service
Honestly probably the best donuts Ive had .....
Since I was a little girl, Ive been eating these most delicious donuts! THE BEST!!
Love these donuts. The orange are my favorite. Thank you for such great yums.
WOW! Honestly the BEST donuts I have ever had! 5 stars. My stomach hurts from eating so many but I still wanna eat at least one more! I will be stopping here more often.
Best donuts I’ve had since I was a kid!!! A must go to if you love donuts. These are cheap and YUMMY!
Number one donut shop in Odessa, Texas!So soft it melts in your mouth...😍
You know something is good when people line up for blocks at one spot. Theres 10 different donut shops in odessa that serve great breakfast sandwiches but they dont go for there donuts. There is no other donut that is better than southern maid . If youve lived here for more than a day then you know to give them a go
Delicious Donuts! But there times are incorrect and you Never know when they will be Open.
Holy cow!!!!! Have never ever had donuts so good. Worth waiting in line.
They got sloppy donuts got small there not like they used to be I give you a 3 point
Everytime I come home, I have to have Southren maid donuts 🍩!! They are the best!! Even better than Krispy Kream. Keep up the great job!
Best donuts in town cash only
The best in town. since I first came here in 1973, first tasting, Ive been hooked since.
Is always good..only today I didnt get what I ordered
I visited Odessa last month and my first stop was here, only to be disappointed. Donuts are not the same. The new owners must have changed the recipe of dough and donuts taste more doughy. Years back these donuts were the best. Donuts were a lil crispy and so delicious. Wish old owners would buy this place back so they could bring back those good ole Southern Maid Donuts.
Lots of history in this little donut shop! Kind of tricky to get to and probably just an average tasting donut, but knowing Elvis had been here and loved them was enough for me. Staff seemed like they didnt want to be there, but the building was cute and they had a fair selection of donuts. We had a chocolate, banana nut and a cherry filled.
Alway delicious, line was about 10 cars long other than that good experience
These donuts have a little bit of crispiness to them but in a good way!
The best donuts in the region, bar none. Im glad there isnt one near my home or I would never be able to stop eating them.
Awesome DonutsEnjoy every time I go here
I have traveled all over the USA, Southern Maid has some of the best donuts I have ever had in my life... if you have never tried them, please do at least one time...**** cash only ***** establishment.
Our favorite donut place, since i can remember!! Theyre delicious.
You can taste how old and rancid their cooking oil was in the donut itself
There good donuts but there getting to small donuts people are going to start complaining about there donuts go somewhere else if yall keep making those donuts small get with the program ese
The best donuts you will ever have in your life! The service is fantastic, too. I just wish they werent cash only since I rarely ever carry cash anymore.
Delicious, love the lemon donuts. Line was long but they got me in and out.
This place has been an Odessa secret for decades. The wait is worth it.
Best Doughnuts ever...
I called ahead to place an order for some kolaches, only when I got there did I learn it was cash only. Wouldve been good info to have.
I love this place and it’s always busy for a good reason. The donuts are so good and the service is always great. I even went in to pick up 16 dozen donuts and they were so amazing and able to fill my order. I don’t plan on doing that again without an order request. I feel like everyone I know here loves Southern Maid and the green box is iconic. My son’s favorite donut is the red cherry one and their donut holes. They only take cash, by their prices are great. They also offer drinks like milk, chocolate milk, juice and water. If you’re getting donuts for a group or co workers or even just yourself, this is the place to go.
I called to ask if they carried a certain product to which they said they did. I responded that I would be there in a minute to pick up said product. Parking lot only fits a MAXIMUM of 4 vehicles (I was the 4th vehicle and had to park sideways obscuring the view of the people exiting the drive thru. When I arrived, the door said window only, which I assume now is some sort of way of saying drive thru only. Im thinking okay, so their dining area is closed, Ill just head to the drive thru. When i get their (i had to go through a back alley because the lot is so poorly designed), i found there were no less then 10-12 vehicles in line! Assuming it takes 1-2 minutes to prepare each order, that would be a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 25 minutes to get 2 donuts! NO THANK YOU! I went to jack and jill- no line and got to eat inside too.
Always good. Blessed Day
Haven’t been in a very long time. It’s not the same anymore, like everything it has changed. I guess they sold to new owners and it will probably be a very long time before I go back. Didn’t feel welcome when I walked in. Lady at front was not friendly, I had to wait on glazed donuts and I looked in back while waiting and man in back looked at me liked what the f*** do you want. Taste was not there either used to be best donuts anywhere well that has changed also
Best donuts in town
Love, Southern Maid doughnuts I would highly recommend them to everyone they just cant be outdone
I love southern maid donuts. Ive been away from odessa for 5 years, I came for a visit to sit in the line for 30 minutes to get to the window to find out they still dont except debit cards. Its 2020 please get a card reader!!!!
Pulled in the parking lot. Saw 2 different ladies frosting the donuts with her bare hands. Pressing the donuts in frosting with the palm of her bare hand. I also saw a little boy running around while she was frosting the donuts. Playing on the same table she was working on. I pulled right back out the parking lot. The place just look unsanitary.🤢🤮
Really good... So far best donuts in Odessa/Midland area... You can get hot donuts.. next time Ill have pics... Small place yet nice.. people are friendly. Price is also good..
I stopped in recently with my grand children for a dozen Assorted. Every bite was excellent. In the early sixties I would ride my bike to Southern maid donuts and get several dozen to go sell. It was so long ago that a dozen donuts was 60 cents a Box and I got to keep 20 cents of that .
Anyone local knows these are the best donuts around.
Love love me some Southern Maid Donuts 🍩 🤤 😍 💕 ♥
The donuts are good the kolaches are not as good as the other two places in town and they don’t take debit or credit so you have to pay cash(it’s 2020 get it together already)
Is the bestest donuts ever but I also like Krispy Kreme southern maid donuts is soooooo delicious 😋😋😋😋😋🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊😊😁😁😁
Best donuts ever!!! I hear of other brands even from other areas... hands down southern made are the best!!!
The fact that if you come later in the day and theyre out of a lot of their stuff tells you why everyone loves SM donuts, there is nothing they serve that isnt sweet heaven, Ive had SM since I was a kid back in the 80s and still to this day they have not changed a thing, theyre just as good today as they were back in the day. Absolutely the best donuts in the world!!
Delicious donuts always fresh and warm
The best donuts in town
No other donut comes close. SOUTHERN MAID has been queen for decades and still is. Melt in your mouth goodness no matter what flavor or type you choose.
My favorite donut place in the world. always fresh and delicious, you just have to be quick to get there and get them. i only give 4 stars because sometimes i dont have cash and they only accept cash. invest in a card machine or even a square to get those extra profits being missed by customers like myself. other than that, love your donuts.
Always amazing!
I LOVE THIS PLACE 10/10 RECOMMEND
Donuts look as bad as they taste! This place is really dirty inside and only takes cash. All the fruit flavors are full of artificial flavors and dyes. How this place is in business is beyond me. Not to mention- the cash only business makes this place seem super sketchy.
Great donuts. Friendly staff.
The best donuts in town ever made and if you get them right after there made theyll melt in your mouth. YUM YUM If i can give it a higher rating I would A high five 🖐 fist bump 👊and both thumbs up 👍👍
If ever you are in odessa please give this place a try. You wont be disappointed.
Cash only! Number one thing you need to know. There donuts are delicious! They are a bit smaller than average, and they are crisper on the outside. The regular kolaches are small, but the jalapeño ones are average. I love their cinnamon rolls.
Always been good
Always the best! Prob honestly best in the world, please reopen the one on Andrews highway tho
Good since I was a little boy in the 80s thank you for the sweet treat
Opens early and good quality, but needs a bigger drive thru.
The service was outstanding! The donuts were fresh, and hot! Cant get any better!
Best donuts! Always busy!!
Just so the owner knows, I sat outside waiting for them to open from 5:01- 5:11 with a big order for the hospital. The workers were aware of my presence.
The best
Donuts are the best tasting donuts you ever had when they are fresh. However, they dont keep well. So dont get than will be eaten in a couple hours.
Good donuts,disappointed no coffee served.
Something was missing
Delicious like always!!!
Thus place never disappoints
Worst donuts Ive ever had. When I bit into the glaze donut melted sugar poured out. Gross. Theyve lost their back for making donuts. HEB donuts are way better
Donuts are the best I have had. Better than most other brands and only here in Odessa!
Not really nutritious, but most devotedly delicious. I recommend that one closes their eyes to savor each bite. Ultimately, Southern Maid was able to capture the clouds, deep fry them, and drench said clouds in icing.
Delicious but the line takes forever just went inside to order and they do not take credit or debit
Love the donuts, but they keep getting smaller.
Great donut shop, friendly staff. cash only and parking is limited. drive thru can get seriously packed. worth the wait!
CASH ONLY! Its super annoying that they dont take cards. Not sure what the reason is.but their doughnuts are really good. Just have cash in hand or youll be waiting in line for nothing.
Love it here. They are open all day which is even more wonderful. You dont have to make sure that you are there by 12.
The donuts were not as good as the time before. But normally they are very good.
The very best doughnuts in all of Texas. Maybe, the best in the world.
The cherry donuts are the best
Cant go wrong with fresh southern maid doughnuts. Great friendly service.
Great customer service. Not so fresh donuts.
Apple fritter, Apple roll, cinnamon roll, yeast: coconut, chocolate, cherrycherry. Filled: lemon, raspberry, blueberry, Bavarian cream.All 5 stars. Run by a family for 60+ years. Cash only
Best donuts in town and anywhere for that matter !
There is no other donut like the Southern Maid donut! Since I was a kid, my family and I have been coming to this location to partake in the best donuts in Texas (eat your heart out, Krispy Kreme).My all time favorite are the glazed vanilla cake donuts, but the cinnamon rolls run a very close second.As an aside, this location is much friendlier and well maintained than the one on Andrews Highway. I highly recommend visiting this one instead.
Hands down best donuts in west texas only receive 4 stars because of limited employees. Which under stable not everyone wants to work at a donut shop.
Small donuts but delicious says the hubby
