Sandwiches are huge and sloppy. Don't try to take them home though, they drop from a 5 to a 2 when you get them to go. Lots of meat and onions. We ordered ours and had them sitting in front of us before we could blink. Onion rings were great, the real home-made kind. Its in a sketchy area but still worth the trip

This place has a different take on cheesesteak by using a round poppy-seeded roll.The bread was soft which counts for a solid rating since that's what sets them apart from other places.Overall, the cheesesteak itself was just okay. The steak to bun ratio was off. It was quite messy and became soggy over time.However, THE BEST PART of the sandwich is honestly the red pepper relish. It had a nice flavor.The staff was friendly during my visit. And I was surprised by how good of a whiskey bourbon selection they have.I would have given them a four-star. However, this was my first meal of the day and the food did not sit well on my stomach.

Super interesting cheesecake stop just across the river from Philly with interior decor and atmosphere that predates yesteryear. Oversized kaiser rolls with poppy seeds provide a pleasant twist from the standard long rolls. Sandwiches are a very healthy portion with a lot of meat. Onions were a bit overcooked for my taste and the roll was not hearty enough to stand up to the entire sandwich (it started to fall apart). We will definitely go back.

You have never had a steak sandwich until you have had donkeys. I am actually 3rd generation to eat at donkeys and it is 100% worth it.

Round roll cheese steaks!!! Delicious! Onion rings were crispy (a little greasy, but YUM) old time bar setting with high tables and back seating area. Lots of visual stimulation all around the walls and ceiling! Super friendly, attentive service! A must visit!!!

order some wings from DoorDash. My DoorDash come my wings. The container is not in a plastic bag has a hole on the side for air. This is my thing people in the car can be sick sneezing coughing, and it’s a hole in the container for air how do I know their germs is not going inside of my food. How do I know they didn’t open my wings up. Donkey have small plastic bags for carry out if people have to pay 10 $.15 or $.25 for a bag then so be it . this makes a person don’t want to eat the food after paying for it.

The chicken was just a whole piece of meat, it was not chopped. Chicken had hard pieces like cartilage or something. Went to camden since it’s original I grew up on but is not good anymore. You have to go to Medford or Mt Holly.
