Cheese donair and fries
Lisa C.

Wow, who knew how busy this place can get? I have driven past this place so many times over the years but never stopped in. We decided to try it out and it was approximately 8:30 in the evening. The parking lot is a bit tight but there's street parking all over. Once we walked in, we could smell food. It seems like a couple runs this place, the lady by the front cash and the man cooking the food. There are a few small tables inside and only one table was taken up. We checked out the menu which was posted on a wall. We had no idea what to order since the burgers, donairs and poutine all looked delicious! Even the milkshakes looked good too! I was assuming the donair was more popular so we went with that and fries. Our meal was a nice size and we almost couldn't finish it. We had a strawberry milkshake which was thick and creamy. As we were eating, many people were coming in for to go orders...this place was busy! The prices are excellent, $7.00 for a donair and combos are also available. They are open until midnight and on Fridays and Saturday close at 3 a.m. Great for the bar crowd who are hungry after partying. They offer a discount for Grant Mac students so ask the cashier for details. I'm wondering why I didn't stop in here before?!!

poutine with donair sauce and meat.

Another dark, dreary and cold winter day in Canada resulted in some heavy cravings for comfort food. What is comfort food in Canada you ask? Poutine of course. Donair, poutine. So, I redownloaded the Uber app out of desperation and placed an order with Marco's Burgers. Surprisingly, the food arrived within half an hour. I've had bad luck with Uber Eats but this delivery worked well. The foot was hot and smelled delicious. The poutine, is always a classic though it is difficult to make this look good in a photo. Trust me, when I say it the spot. I should have gone with a classic burger. The donair was disappointing. It was extremely large and so soggy that I had to use a plate and eat it with a fork and knife. Good thing I was at home and not on the road. The good part? I have left overs for tomorrow's lunch and I can't wait to finish up the poutine...it's why I usually order a couple of options when I get take out. So I always have leftovers! The soggy donair is why I'm only giving 3 stars. Otherwise, I would have given four stars. PROS: Delivery prep time is prompt, prices are reasonable, delivery fee is $2.99 via Uber Eats which is reasonable. CONS: Skip the donair if you aren't into messy foods. Stick with the classics, burgers, poutine and dawgs.

the menu for the restaurant

Solid spot to eat at. We went there for lunch with a good sized group. The eat-in area accommodates groups of two to four easily. Our group was about 8 and there was only one middle table that could accommodate that. Staff was friendly. We had an egg allergy in the group and the server was unable to verify if the bread had eggs baked in it - so we (not the staff) had to call the bread supplier for the restaurant to confirm (no eggs). Lunch was a mix of foods: The #1 donair combo was tasty. The cuts of beef were very juicy and flavourful. Savory. Good balance with the house donair sauce (there wasn't too much of it) and tomatoes and onions. The burgers were good. Angus beef patties and soft buns. I don't know that I would come back for burgers as they were pretty standard. The quality was better than your average fast food joint and on par with a Red Robin type of place. Standard burger order did not come with fries. So our group split waffle and regular fries - which were also good - crispy, crunchy, and more of a standard cut fry (not thick cut). The staff recommendation the milkshake so we had a Strawberry one (there are other flavours like Orange Creamsicle and Bubble Gum), as well as a Twix Mash Up which is like a Blizzard from DQ. Both were very good and devoured completely. All in all, a good spot. I really enjoyed the Donair and shake.

Yes. Fantastic donair, meat was fresh, pita was crisp, and fries were cooked perfectly. The big thing here was the sweet sauce. I asked for extra, and it was good, creamy and not runny. Great experience and the guys working were good. The establishment was nice and clean.... and inside was designed like a text book donair place. Enjoyed every bite. Will be coming back. PS, the tomatoes were thick cut and fresh, juicy and ripe. It's all in the details.

Eat here, diet at home

I stop in here a little more frequently than I probably should. The space is smallish but there is still always a place to sit and enjoy your meal. They have tv's and there is always a soccer or hockey game on the keep you entertained. The guys behind the counter are super friendly and always do a bang up job taking and preparing your order. Now for the food, it is amazing! I've tried a lot of what's on the menu and I have never been disappointed. The portions are outrageous and I always end up over full with leftovers. This is one of the best donairs I have had in the city. They put a good amount of toppings and sauce on so it feels balanced and you don't just feel like your eating a hunk of meat. The burgers are not overly greasy but super rich and satisfying, I love their house sauce. They make good gravy and even though it's not traditional poutine it still hits the spot late at night on a weekend. Seriously everyone needs to go here.

order number 5 :)

Generously fullfilling! Such tiny place but love this place. They don't hold back on the meat of their donairs! Though a little bit on the pricy side yet so much worth it. The 12" is $10 and literally went and filled the tray all the way across look at the picture :) You don't eat in this place with one hand, and definitely don't eat in this place with half filled stomach! Nice and friendly staff! You can't go wrong on this place. I'm from Calgary and I would definitely go out of my way to just eat here again when I visit!

Solid donair. Only regret... I shoulda' got an extra cup of sauce which was indeed good! Stopped in for dinner tonight. Really impressed with the clean, industrial atmosphere. Even the diamond plate bench was more comfortable than it looks! Decided on a Jumbo cheese donair, but really like the selection. I could certainly see myself stopping in again to try something else. As for my donair... It was indeed big. Well spiced meat. Ample fresh veggies and topped with a nice sweet sauce. Stacks up well in my growing list of donair shops!

Combo 5. Marco burger, fries and pop. $12.50. $1 extra for Jones soda.

Pyro used to be my go to burger place. If I would have tried Fox before, it would have been my #1…read more Best burger I have ever had! Thin crispy patties and a nice fresh bun. Great service, great food, a tad pricey but you get what you paid for.

We adventured to this burger spot because we heard they were offering free kids meals for the month…read moreof October, the caveat was that you had to purchase a regular meal for each kids meal. But we have 2 kids and 2 adults so it worked out for us! The kids menu items are a hot dog, a cheeseburger or Mac and cheese. All the portions for the kids looked really big which I appreciated. My boys are eaters and it was nice to see that they got just as many French fries on their plate as an adult portion. And PS the garlic fries are amazing!!! I'm so happy we got 3 orders of the garlic fries and I was curious and tried the animal fries as well- they were different...tasty but definitely a unique taste. The closest I can describe it is cheese wiz and mustard and caramelized onions. Very potent, I saw they have an Animal burger which probably uses that same mixture combo. Animal fries cost an extra $4 so for the extra cost I would probably just go with the garlic fries every time because they don't have an extra cost. I ordered the most popular Bacon Pepper Smash ($21 single $25 double) and really enjoyed the flavor and the price was on point. Smash sauce, pickled peppers, bacon, American cheddar, iceberg. The single was definitely enough for myself but with the thinner patties I could see why some people order the double. Hubby had the Inferno ($21 single $25 double) Inferno sauce, pickled peppers, crispy fried onions, American Swiss, iceberg. The sauce was spicy! Good but spicy! And it kind of overpowered the whole thing. Parking down the side street was a bit of a walk but not terrible and right beside this place is a cool looking liquor store and Kind Ice Cream across the road. The space itself was pretty big and we felt like we weren't too smushed up on booth next to the next table. Bathrooms are downstairs, mind your head! And there was a baby change table in the women's bathroom.
