Ignore all other reviews. This place is PRIME! I travel a bit and every town that I go to I check out the local donut shops. These are the best donuts I've had (I've been to over 45 places). They are perfectly balanced in sweetness, texture, toppings, fillings, etc. I'm in town this weekend and went three days in a row and got lots of varieties and options available. They were all exceptional. Don't skip on Mr Bob's!! The braided donut and the mini ugly Apple boys were my favorite. The ugly apple boys are perfectly balanced with cinnamon, apples, and the sweetness. Just phenomenal!!

Not much of a selection when I got there around 3pm. Got a glazed and it was okay.

Great and friendly place for the local Marion family or a family passing through. Donuts taste great, he has a good selection, and great prices. We got the glazed, chocolate glazed, and the apple ugly. All are a MUST try. The apple ugly is HUGE, you get a great bang for you buck. The donuts melt in your mouth and the chocolate... let's just say I know good chocolate and this chocolate is very good, rich, melted chocolate. My wife said these donuts are banging. So we will definitely be back. Go support local and get some AWESOME donuts.

Apple Ugly sans a bite. Yes it's large. And a half dozen assorted.

Heard about Mr. Bob's too late last time to area so we waited 2 years. We even made up a jingle for the store in anticipation. It was worth the wait. Make it a destination.

We had an Apple Ugly and it was the best apple fritter we've ever had. It's made with the light donut dough, and is a pull apart. It's a lot lighter than most other apple fritters. The apples are cut really small. So good! And the staff here is really nice. They shared with us a bit of town history. The shop also seems to be big supporter of local schools and charities. The donut case was totally cleaned out, but do t let that fool you. They make donuts throughout the day so they are always fresh. What a great shop! We will definitely come back next time we visit Marion.

This is the chocolate glazed with sprinkles along side of the original glazed!!!

As soon as someone mentions Marion, I mention Mr. Bob's. Amazing, fast service every time I walk in. They also post regular updates on their Facebook throughout the day which I think is super nice if you're looking for a specific flavor like I always am - the maple donut Also, if you're in Marion for an event downtown, you can't beat the walk up window! read more

Great Do-Nuts and pastries. Local owned and operates. Actually met Bob while I was there. They closed it down for a few years, but so glad they are back open and are a great anchor for donuts in the Marion community. The staff we spoke to were very friendly very nice. They used to know nuts are the best in the area by far. You better come early because they do sell out. read more

Mr. Bob - Mr. Bob - make me a doughnut! Poof, you're a donut! Local - fresh - not a huge variety - no "frou frou" gourmet flavors here - but delicious. I'm a purist so I stick with glazed. We get these by the dozen for the office. I do think I'm going to venture out and try an Apple Ugly (apple fritter) as I see they've been getting rave reviews!

Spotted this gem while in town for a training. We had lunch across the street at Bruce's (which I also recommend) and as I walked outside, noticed the donut sign and who the heck could pass that up?! Picked a dozen of various kinds to take home to surprise my family- lemon filled, raspberry filled, apple filled, peanut butter creme filled with chocolate drizzle, chocolate covered, and chocolate peanut butter chip. Only $13 for a dozen freshly made! I'm so jealous we don't have one in my own hometown!! read more

They had slim pickings due to the crowd but we were still able to order a few, including the Bavarian cream. It was really incredible!! One of the best I've ever had. Despite the craziness, they were really friendly as well. We will definitely be back and if you're in the area stop by for a delicious treat!!! You won't regret it! read more

I'm going to start this off by saying I'm not a big doughnut fan so I don't eat them often. I stopped here on a whim to get some hot coffee and since I was short on time I decided to grab a doughnut. Can I say that these doughnuts are quite possibly the best I've ever had!!!! I got the Bavarian Cream with regular glaze. The doughnut was so light and fluffy and the custard or pudding filling was a-mazing!!! My hubby loves doughnuts and he was running a race so I went back the next morning to get some for him when he was done. Since there happened to be a Doughnut festival that day, they were a little low on their options but I scored 2 more Bavarian Cream, a peanut butter chocolate and a chocolate with sprinkles. My husband thought they were as amazing as I did. He really enjoyed the chocolate peanut butter one. On a side note they had the largest apple fritters I'd ever seen. I'm sure they were as yummy as they looked. If we are ever in the area, we will definitely be back!! read more

Hands down the best donuts around. Don't bother with Dunkin or Krispy. We drove all the way from Morganton to Marion just to get some sweet treats from this heavenly spot. It's a tiny shop in downtown Marion, run by the sweetest husband and wife. The highlight is definitely the apple uglies!! Make sure you go early enough to get first picks. The lady in front of us completely cleaned them out of apple uglies (you can't imagine the heartache), but we came back later to score a fresh batch. They bake fresh every day! Nothing is stale or leftover from the day before. We also got a half dozen donuts- they lasted us less than 24 hours. Highlights included the maple donut and the custard filled! Definitely worth the trip! read more

They don't offer a huge variety, but I'm perfectly fine with a place that focuses on doing a few things exceptionally well, and "well" doesn't even begin to cover it. It was busy (always a good sign), so everything was incredibly fresh. We ordered a pretzel, vanilla glazed donut, chocolate glazed donut, honey bun latte, and a strawberry lemonade. We grabbed a table after the manager let us know it would be about 10-15 minutes, but it definitely didn't take that long. The pretzel was warm, fluffy, and perfectly buttered with just the right touch of salt. The cheese dipping sauce was cold-it would have been nice if it were warmed slightly. The "honey" mustard came in a prepackaged pod and wasn't actually honey-based, which felt like a missed opportunity, especially given all the delicious local honey and mustard options in the area. The honey bun latte was delicious!!! Flavorful without being overly sweet. The strawberry lemonade was on the sweeter side but still refreshing and I can imagine it being perfect for a hot day. I added a little water since I can't handle too much sugar at once, and it was just right. And the vanilla glazed donut? It was like biting into a warm, fluffy cloud!! Pure comfort in donut form. My only regret is not stopping in sooner so I'd have more days to come back again and again.

It's a simple country convenience mart. Why do I give it 5 stars. 1. Friendly service. I had…read moreproblems with my receipt. It was a relatively short wait and I was chatting with the person behind the counter. This is a family business and the man working behind the counter was filling in for his daughter and had to call her up to figure out how to get the receipt. B/c of the wait he gave me a 2. Ugly Apple Fritter. They sell donuts from a local maker. The ugly apple fritter was a giant and delicious. I can't guarantee they will give you a free donut if there is a problem but they will try to help with a smile and with kindness and really isn't that what you want from any business?

Holy doughnut hole! Do I really need to tell anyone how deliciously yummy Bob's Donuts are? I mean could you put any more filling inside? The empty display counter around noon speaks for itself...make more doughnuts BOB! It's obvious to me that Bob's Donuts needs to expand and think about a 24 hour drive thru window. Imagine if you can, jumping in your car and getting an apple ugly the size of your steering wheel at 2:00 am ..... "sigh". read more

After the reopening they've picked up where they left off the , the doughnut store is one of the best. Their donuts is the best I have ever eaten better than Dunkin' Donuts better than Krispy Kreme. They are filled to capacity., their Apple uglies are the best in the state. If you're in the area, you must stop by. They're open on a first come first serve basis when they run out they run out you have to wait till the next day. read more

There's NOTHING that can compare to a Mr. Bob's doughnut. Seriously, hands down best doughnut I've ever had. APPLE UGLIES. TRY THEM! If there aren't any (because that's what got Mr. Bob's in the Food Network magazine and they are DELISH) try the peanut butter filled or if you're not a peanut butter fan... Get the coconut cream ...or the apple filled ...lol if you can't tell.. Dude's got good stuff! Give em a try!!! read more

We are here from Florida visiting family. We stopped in at our bank and Bob's had provided them with some assorted donuts... AWESOME! Fresh (even tasted so at noon) and flaky, flavorful and absolutely delicious. Hope we make it now before they close! read more
