Okay I heard Gov. Sherrill rave about this place saying it had the best cheesesteak so I had to try it. Well since I never had a great cheesesteak before I would rank this high only because it's not messy and it has no onions (I know that's strange).. it's like someone made a Steak-Um sandwich with poppyseed bread. I'm not a fan of poppyseed bread. That being said it's not for everyone. Be advised, it's very salty to me but go try it. It's worth a try. Oh by the way my wife said the fries are on point. read more

I stopped by Donkey's in the afternoon for a late lunch, and it definitely hit the spot! The cheesesteak was huge and it lasted for two meals personally. Definitely get the spicy ketchup, it's so good! There were a few tables outside with some other patrons eating, so the vibes were good and the food was done relatively quick - it did seem made to order. read more

Good tasting cheese steaks. Service can take a bit. But I enjoy the food so the wait is worth it. People are nice and you can enjoy eating the food outside. They have fries as well which are good. A simple small place to enjoy read more

Wish there was a NEGATIVE star. If you have high blood pressure, stay away from here. It's the saltiest food I have ever gotten from any food establishment. I even ordered my food with no salt and yet it was inedible. Their steaks, fries, chicken tenders, panzarotti was salty. It's a shame because the food can be good, just get rid of the cook. read more

Next level cheesesteak One of the best if not the best cheesesteaks I ever had although it might be different in style steak is very flavorful onions cooked to perfection.. with a twist to the ordinary Philly cheesesteak, they have a seeded Kaiser roll instead of the sub roll. Definitely got a try it list a step above Philly cheesesteaks sandwich is big you might want to share.. there onion rings. Fantastic, so are the french fries staff and service very friendly nice they gave us free ice cream so in summary definitely worth the trip read more

Donkey's Place - donkeys place Actual restaurant location, Mount Holly nj - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Mount Holly, New Jersey

I've been wanting to go here for awhile. Saw that his location was closer to me than the original in Camden. I arrived a little after they opened, I got a cheesesteak with onions and cheese. A few minutes later my receipt was called. I was recommended by the cashier to get the spicy ketchup and chili sauce with it. The cheesesteak was delicious, one of the best I've had. Definitely different with the poppy seed roll but everything had great flavor. You gotta stop by! read more

Donkey's Place - Cheesesteak - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Mount Holly, New Jersey

Hadn't been to this Donkey's location before (had been to the Medford and Camden locations) and sandwich was tasty. Not as much seasoning as the other locations on my steak sandwich/roll (no cheese) but I think it was a little bigger. Others in the group got fries which they said were good, and I had a couple bites of the churro which were tasty. Village Idiot brewing is a short walk away so ate there with a beer, so a nice outing. Probably the smallest of the other locations as far as seating, but they have lots of outdoor seating and parking. read more

My coworker told me that this is the best Philly cheesesteak and I finally was driving through the area on a trip to Philly, so I had to stop. I'm no expert, but I can say this was very good and I'm glad I finally tried it. I loved the non-traditional roll. The addition of poppy seeds was great. I was wishing they had some indoor seating today since it was cold and raining, but it was delicious so I didn't care that I had to eat in my car. They were even nice enough to bring it to my car for me so I didn't have to go out in the rain again. read more

Donkey's Place downtown is an amazing food experience--honestly, the flavors and quality are top-notch. The only reason I'm holding back from giving five stars is that the original Donkey's Place in Camden will always be my number one spot. That said, the downtown location still delivers a fantastic meal and is absolutely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Great steaks in Mount Holly , it's now a regular stop for me there, I recommend it, don't worry about the round bread

Ordered a couple of cheesesteaks from Donkey's for pickup. It had been a while and I forgot how good their cheesesteaks are! The poppy seed Kaiser roll was so fresh and larger than the average Kaiser roll. The cheesesteak was perfectly cooked and very tender with grilled onions. There was no wait when I arrived. My order was ready and I received service with a smile at the takeout window. This spot appeared very clean with nice outdoor seating. Unfortunately it was way too cold to sit outside but I'll definitely consider doing so once the weather warms up. read more

Food is always on point. Far portions for the price. I personally love the cheesesteak fries with a little pepper relish added. My wife loves the mini panzerati. Would recommend. read more

Just like the original! Irrespective of which Donkey's Place you visit, the steaks are great, just like the originals in Camden or Medford, which were the prior two locations. Whether you grab steak or chicken, they are thin sliced and stacked on a poppy seed bun. If you ask for onions like I do, know that it will be generously loaded up with fried onions. I get mine with provolone and ask them not to sprinkle finishing salt on top because it is already well seasoned. This truly is a great cheesesteak. There are some interesting sides to choose from but the onion rings are great, and one order is much even when sharing. There's plenty of parking and there is more seating albeit outdoor seating. There's also a giant connect four on premises to entertain while you wait for your grub. This restaurant is setback off Main Street and is really hard to find the first time, even with GPS. Look for the signs or ask where the local police department is as a nearby landmark, as this restaurant is located across from the local PD. read more

Then I met Jim who was just as nice, friendly with the biggest smile ever!! This is a takeout only spot with plenty of outdoor seating and lots of free parking. The foods smell absolutely AMAZING and SUPER delicious!!! YES!!! I do recommend Donkey's Place to my family, friends and, NOW, the World too!!! Check them out!! read more

If you're looking for an experience similar to the original Donkey's Place, this place leaves much to be desired. The location of the building sits back in the middle of a parking lot off the main streets, so you best play close attention as you navigate toward by car. There are a few small lawn signs posted in the surrounding area that are helpful in leading you through the back alleys from the main drag. Once I reached my destination, I was ready to eat but first had to tinkle. Sadly there is no restroom facility for patrons. Nor is there any indoor seating. This joint is made for walk-up grab n go style orders with one window for orders and another for pick ups. On the upside, the sun was welcoming this day, so I chose to hold my pee while I ate outdoors to soak up some rays and dose up on vitamin d. I do wish my cheesesteak sandwich had the same flavor as the ones I tasted from the original Donkey's Place; it "came close but no cigar" as Jay Z puts it. I guess that is due to the fact that the original location has been around so long that the flavor comes from grill itself. This location in Mt Holly obviously is very young in existence and it's staffed by youngsters who looked no older than college freshmen. When it comes to authenticity in original cookeries, some things (like time and experience) just can't be replicated elsewhere. read more

I decided to stop in the Mr Holly location on Saturday to let my sis try Donkeys for the first time. I haven't been to this location since they opened because it wasn't good. I used to go to The Camden location often but it's been quite awhile . All I can say is , what a freakin disappointment! The only thing that was good was the fries. I was sick s as heck that afternoon ! The meat wasn't cooked well it had a taste of undercooked beef ??? Uuugg. How the hell do you undercook a darn steakum!? It was not good ! And really wasn't even hot. Not seasoned at all, just nasty, I ate about half of a half and threw it out. Now I used to love the Camden location but last time I was there was almost a year ago because the meat was so dry and chewy I couldn't eat it. I chauked it up to the regular lady wasn't there the day I went , so I gave it pass and just never went back, but tried this mt holly spot. This place is now A HARD NO for me. Don't know what's going on Donkey's but it's not good ! Can't waste good money on this crap! Sent from my iPhone read more

I've been trying to visit a Donkeys location for several years now. I was near the original and spin-off many times, but couldn't convince a co-diner to go. They are certainly legendary in S Jersey, and after trying one, it's easy to see why. I like steak sandwiches. They don't have to adhere to Philly norms for me to enjoy them. I look for tender meat, good roll, and that care was given to cooking the onions. This sandy checked all of those boxes and more. I like seeded Kaiser rolls, this one was bigger than most and able to withstand a pile of ingredients. The meat is thicker than the standard chopped, but still very tender and nicely seasoned. The onions were cooked thoroughly and lightly browned, and this had to be the most I've ever had on even sandwiches twice the size. The slight ding would be that the provolone cheese was overpowered by them. A small order of fries seemed bigger than I expected and with a light dusting of seasoning, I liked them. I also made a rookie mistake of only ordering 1 panzarotti, this upscale take on Genos pizza rolls could be addictive. Also noteworthy is the unique condiments available, a spicy ketchup and a pepper relish too. This is strictly to go unless an outdoor table is available and weather permits. Service was quick and friendly. 4% discount if using cash. It's probably a good thing I'm over 20 minutes away...... read more

MOUNT HOLLY: "The best cheese steak in the area might well come from New Jersey." Anthony Bourdain Donkey's Place Downtown is right in the center of downtown Mount Holly, surrounded by the Northern Rancocoas Creek. Order at the window and enjoy the park-like outdoor seating. The cheesesteaks are famous in NJ, especially for their huge poppy seed roll! They also offer a veggie sandwich with French fries, onion rings, onions, and more veg! Enjoy the food on-site or bring it to Village Idiot Brewing Company, Spellbound Brewing, or Train Wreck Distillery! read more

One of the best Cheesesteaks in New Jersey! It's very convenient too being right in the heart of Mount Holly! Everytime I go here, the service is always very professional. Everyone is so friendly and it's totally worth the price. Anyone who visits downtown Mount Holly, I encourage people to stop by and give their steak sandwiches a try! read more

I've been to Donkey's in Camden and Medford...this is just as good. I feel like their price point for the area may be a little high; but the product is quality (get what you pay for). If you aren't a fan of poppy seed kaiser rolls, just a heads up if you've never had one; that's what it comes on. Hopefully the court crowds, lawyers, and locals keep them around. There are other cheesesteak places in the area, but it's always nice to have options; especially good ones. UPDATED: I wrote the review as I took my first few bites...changed it to 5 stars. Forgot how truly good and big the sandwich really was. The fries, which I never had at the other locations were phenomenal. The onion rings were nice as well. So full, definitely be back soon, just hoping they have the pepper relish next time. Grand opening is Monday the 11th. Check them out. read more

This take out only Donkey's Place is located in the large county complex parking lots in Mt. Holly, NJ. You can reach it from either the main entrance to that County lot or off Washington Avenue. It is certainly worth finding if extra juicy extra meaty extra cheesy cheesesteaks are your culinary comfort food passion. As is well known about this local three shop dynamo, all that weight comes on a large poppy seed kaiser roll. We waited 15 minutes for my name to be called to the pick up window. We decided to eat on one of their picnic tables rather than loose the apex flavors right from the grill. It was a chilly overcast afternoon, but we were content to bear the weather and focus intently on the hefty sandwiches. They use heavy gauge wax paper to hold all the juice that collects on the bottom of the wrapped sammy. The roll holds up pretty well, but the bottom bread does absorb a lot of wet steak essence. Needed two hands to hold it together and bite around the circumference to catch as much drip as possible, and then slowly chew my way to its circular heart. Used about a dozen of their too thin napkins to get to the finish. My eyes may have deceived me, but there seemed to be way more beef and sautéed onions in this opus than an equivalent torpedo roll "steak" at other places. My stomach reported that there was almost twice as much! The only real issue is the mess these babies make while attempting to devour them. From the puddle of juice at the bottom of the wrapping paper, to the surfeit of translucent onions falling out of the sandwich with almost every bite, to the flimsiness of the napkins that are not really up to the task of containing the effusive load nor wiping lips and fingers; Donkey's needs to do something about improving absorbency and offering a way to address the mess. Perhaps, surgical gloves? Otherwise, I loved the aroma of these creations on my hands on the drive home, and didn't mind those tiny poppy seeds clinging to my fingers either. read more

I'm so glad I tried the beef cheesesteak this time. So much better than the chicken my last visit. I didn't take a picture because it was so messy once I dug in I had to keep going. First, I'd like to say that the staff was so friendly. They even gave my dog a treat while I was ordering. They have plenty of outside picnic tables. And corn hole. This time I ordered the beef with fried onions and wiz. I definitely recommend!!! It was only is 10 minute wait. read more

BOOM! Sorry Philly folks, but this might be the best cheesesteak I've ever had, and I've eaten them all over Philly, Delaware, and New Jersey. It's larger than it looks in photos, heavy and dense with tender steak. The flavor is what sets it apart. The seasoning is spot-on, and set it apart from other cheesesteaks. I added a bit of complimentary hot pepper relish for a little extra zing. Seriously, give this a try. Didn't try the fries or onion rings, will save for next time. Also very friendly service which is somewhat unusual at steak shops. read more

It was a month ago I went here after seeing some ads on social media, so I decided to give it a try. Got it once, not sure if I'll return. The one thing that's different is the cheesesteak isn't served on a roll, but a bun. It was ok, but too much poppy seeds on the Kaiser bun. It's very pricy compared to a cheesesteak you can get at Wawa, which will take better too. It appears these price points are pre-inflation, so I can only imagine what they are now! read more

Very good cheesesteak! I believe this is the third location. Did not know it was outdoors only, though. The round poppy seed roll is a nice change of pace. Loaded with onions. read more

BIG JUICY ROUND cheesesteaks, hot fries, nice staff. Extra meat is $5 which is wild to me, but whatever. Other extras aren't expensive, so thats cool. If you get extra onions its gonna be a lil extra juicy so be cautious Frikkin 10/10. read more

Where to start... The food is made with top-quality ingredients. We always plan to try other menu items, but just have to order their cheesesteaks. Donkey's cheesesteaks are not the stereotypical kind, so be forewarned. These cheesesteaks come on a fresh and fragrant, round poppy-seed bun. The shaved beef is tender and flavorful, mixed with a solid balance of cheese and onions. I think there's a bit of au jus going on, which takes it to another level. And then the fries: crispy, potato-y, and delicious. Highly recommend grabbing Donkey's and eating it at one of the local brew pubs. The combination is one of our favorite meals. Also want to give a big shout out to the friendly, professional workers, who take the time to listen to what you want and cook it to perfection. read more

Pre show dinner with hubby on a warm May evening. Just driving up to the area where the small Building is located you can smell the cheesesteaks- small line as we soon learned that each cheesesteak is cooked per order. Lots of outdoor seating- even a connect four game to play. Lines move quickly, but expect a 10-15 min wait from the time you order. We ordered a cheesesteak with Provolone and a side of onion rings. Hubby was impressed by the local sodas available. Verdict? PERFECTION- from the roll to the onion rings. Adult kids showed up and got a sandwich each and it was too much food. Meat was tender, well seasoned and the roll married to the cheese. Highly recommend but make sure you have the time. read more

Donkeys is a small take out spot located in downtown Mt Holly. Ordered here for the first time and food was good but way too overpriced. Just a cheesesteak with fried onions is $12 (prices must have gone up)! I will say, our sandwiches were stuffed with a lot of meat and had tons of onions so I guess you get a good amount for what you pay. I believe the fries are sprinkled with old bay bc they have a little kick to them and they also offer "spicy" ketchup. Sandwich's are messy and a bit greasy but they do have good flavor. I grew up eating your typical cheesesteak on a long Italian roll but what makes Donkeys different is that their sandwiches come on a poppy seed Kaiser roll (I wasn't too crazy about the poppy seed flavor). I like the idea of a twist on a classic sandwich but for me, I think I'll stick to what I'm use to for now. read more

Very very good, lots of good sauce options, very nice employee, would definitely get again!

Finally, tried Donkey's. There were zero customers, and it literally took me twenty minutes to receive my food. When I did, well... YOWZA!!! What a great cheesesteak. Where have you been my whole life? How did I get to be 67 and not have had a Donkey's. It was great. Fries were well seasoned and crispy too. Try it. You will not be disappointed. They only get four out of five stars because of the unusual amount of time it took to receive my sandwich. read more

This place is very hyped up so I thought I would check it out. We were craving a cheesesteak and wanted to try something new. We get to the window and see that the cheesesteaks are a little on the $$$ side. But we thought well we have heard great things, let's split one. You order on the right and pick up on the left (which even though there is signage for it, it seems people are used to left to right, and not right to left). We placed our order and waited around for about 15 minutes. We finally got our order which was in a brown bag. It didn't feel hefty for the hefty amount we paid. When we got home we saw it was on a round roll...which is fine, but there just wasn't a lot of meat on it to justify the $$. It was decent, but we have had far better cheesesteaks. Glad we got to try it though. read more

I know a lot of people really love this place and believe me I really wanted to also and its not bad I guess its just, for the price which is on the high side and for the wait it takes and everything I was just not that impressed. Me and 2 friends went there on a Thursday lunch time no one was in line when we arrived and it took about 15-20 minutes to make them which was a long time, I have been eating cheese steaks all my life and it rarely takes this long plus I would argue that being that's its served on a Kaiser roll there is less meat than on a hoagie roll so it would seem like it would take shorter to cook. I know some places like in Philly don't do a lot of seasoning on the meat and this is another case of this, it did tasty meaty but just not well seasoned at all imo. Also there is an option for extra cheese which I was tempted to order but didn't want it to be too cheesy so I opted against it and the general consensus between my party was there was next to no cheese at all on them, which was disappointing. Like I said this place charges on the extreme high side for I believe Angelo's in Philly is a few dollars less and if anyone should be charging more its them. So I know everyone has an opinion and some people are just gonna like their local place over others but in my lifelong search for good food and having eaten thousands of cheese steaks in my life I am gonna have to say donkeys is just way overrated in too many categories, plus they have next to no options to add to your sandwich. On a plus side though the fries were excellently cooked. read more

4 stars for the food and an extra star for the vibe. The cashier was so nice as well. FOOD: Got the regular beef cheesesteak, fries that have steak seasoning on them and a churro. Everything was delicious. ESPECIALLY the churro. When I say I want a churro, that's what I mean. AMBIENCE: They had really great 50's to 70's music playing on the speaker and the seating is nice and clean. Plants are well kept and place is clean. It's a great place to go to on a beautiful day to eat outside. Felt like I travelled back in time to be honest!! P.S. the town is nice too!! read more
