Finally made it to the Bourdain favorite cheesesteak joint. Had to settle for a branch of the Camden original location, but did not disappoint. Cheesesteaks were big, juicy, and flavorful and were enhanced by the soft poppyseed Kaiser bun instead of the typical bread-heavy roll. Onion rings are a must; the portion size was huge. Bourdain definitely knew what he was taking about. Counter service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. read more

Nothing but love for donkeys place. This was my first time visiting this location. It was quick, tasty and friendly. The other locations are laid back too, but this one felt more like a to go spot than a hangout. Donkeys place consistency is top tier, the cheesesteaks are top notch. They're thick, cheesy and plenty of onions to add a little sweetness. The bun is always a revelation read more

The best food ever fully suggest it and a the fried onions are perfect with the nice fresh rolls and the juicy cheesy meat

We live out of state now but grew up in this area and were in town visiting family. When we travel up here a mandatory cheesesteak meal is required. We found Donkey's kinda by accident. As we drove down the street the day before we actually smelled what we thought was fried onions and when we mentioned it to our family they were like "That's Donkey's." No kidding :) So today when the mandatory cheesesteak meal was talked about we chose Donkey's. OMG. Outstanding sandwiches. Absolutely full with meat and fried onions on this fantastic roll. I'm a fairly big boy and this one sandwich made me desire a major afternoon nap. The sandwich nearly killed my wife )): We are soooo happy we smelled this place the day before. We also chose to order a large cup of fries and they were also good. As for service: we ordered online and picked up our meal. That was seamless and quick. After a quick ride, I walked right in and was right back out the door with our meals. Absolutely perfect. So if you live here you already know - but if you're visiting and looking for a great meal, get yourself to Donkey's. read more

My friend is from Philadelphia and swears by the Philly cheesesteak! My friend drove to Jersey to try Donkey's steak. We were asked with or without onions and I said the onions are a must. We also ordered a panzarotti and an order of fries. The fries were hot and golden brown! The cheesesteak was good and I know my friend enjoyed it as well! The panzarotti was over fried. It had a weird after taste. But I will still will give 4 stars for the steak and fries. There are a few tables and chairs for people to wait and eat even eat their food while is hot! read more

I was apprehensive about a Kaiser roll cheesesteak, the roll was not thick and it was delicious. The surprise was the price... 2 cheesesteaks, 1 large fries , a water and Diet Coke for $41 - is steep. Good but the price was insanely high read more

This visit was far and away a better experience than my last. We ordered food for pick up and were given a 15 minute pick up time from when we placed the order. We only live a few minutes away and I arrived right at the 15 minute mark. As I walked in they were bagging my order of a cheesesteak, a chicken cheesesteak, and small seasoned fries. There were also a handful of others waiting for food which is always a good sign to see. The employee working the counter and answering the phones was very pleasant and more than happy to answer questions about the menu. I appreciate how they have their plastic silverware and condiments out on the counter so you're able to take what you please. Their spicy pepper spread and spicy ketchup are both delicious and add great flavor to the steak sandwiches and fries. By the time I got home the food was still hot. There was plenty of meat on the sandwiches (both not the case the last time I was here but I'm blaming that on me accidentally ordering online through Grub-hub or Uber-eats for pick-up). I do prefer my cheesesteaks on a long roll but the rolls were great nonetheless. Very soft and I'm a big fan of the poppyseeds. The "small" cup of fries came overflowing with even more in the bottom of the bag. Both of us enjoyed our cheesesteaks and the crispy French fries. The total came to about $34 for two steak sandwiches and fries which seems about average in this day and age and was fair for the quality of food we received. I wouldn't say Donkey's cheesesteaks are my favorite cheesesteaks in the area of surrounding towns, but I am glad I can get a very darn good cheesesteak so conveniently close to home. I'll definitely be frequenting Donkey's more often after how positive this last visit was. It'll make for a great take-out option on nights I don't feel like making dinner. read more

I've been meaning to try this place or the original location, after reading about it. I found myself in the area at the perfect time. The woman at the counter was courteous and friendly. I ordered a cheesesteak w/ fried onions. It was prepared quickly, and was one of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. There's a couple tables inside. Nothing fancy, but clean. I will return. If I lived closer I'd be a regular! read more

Made it a point to stop here on our way home from the shore a few weeks ago. It was perfect! We both got cheesesteaks and shared a large side of onion rings. Everything was SO good!! Service was friendly and quick! There are a few tables inside and no one was there when we got there so that was nice. A bunch of people came in right after us and sat at the table behind me. Wasn't even loud with 6 or 7 people chatting away. This will be a must on our way home from the shore from now on!! read more

Don't go here. I was extremely disappointed. Was hyped up to go get a steak but the cheesesteak was made by a teenager that took a 1/2 hour to make. Kid was too busy talking to his buddy and two teenagers at the front desk. 4 teenagers running the whole joint. Steak was edible but nothing special. Went out of my way to go there cause of hype but would never go back. read more

I can see where they are going with it. The bun is nice and soft and the onion rings have a nice sweet batter. The issue was the food was absolutely bathed in salt. I'll give it another try, it could have just been the day. read more

We tried Donkeys in Medford the other day due to all of the recommendations from our friends lately and unfortunately we're not impressed. It took about 20 minutes for our cheesesteak to be made, which seemed excessive since no one was in line ordering ahead of us. The cheesesteak was extremely greasy and lacked flavor. I also thought it was overpriced at $15 for the cheesesteak. They do seem to use a higher quality of steak, so maybe that's why it is more expensive than other places. Unfortunately we have had much better cheesesteaks in the area for less. read more

It's a pretty good family price is a little high. I don't know if it's good original Philly cheese stick, and chili but very close.

Best cheesesteak I ever had! Pat's and Gino's in Philly don't even come close! It's the juiciest, tastiest steak you'll ever have. The poppy seed kaiser roll is just one of the things that sets it apart as well. read more

Donkey's does have pretty stellar lead on the best Philly Cheesesteak. I'll give them at LEAST my top 3 slot but I'm not ready to call them the champs. Getting onions adds that combination sweet & savory taste that really is the icing on the top to pull it altogether. Inside the seating is limited so you get what you get or its a carside/pickup meal. I'd certainly come back. Crossing it off my bucketlist FINALLY. read more

Donkey's Place Too - Cheesesteak with onions - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Medford, New Jersey

I went to this place and ordered a cheesesteak and was devastated at what I was served it was more like a roast beef sandwich on a round seeded roll so I am so confused on how the reviews are good now I am from south philly and Lmao off that people call this a good cheesesteak. boy how times have changed. Go to marinos in runnemede on the BHP and see what a great cheesesteak taste like or in south philly and try skinny Joey's place on south broad street or angelos or gooey looies and you see what a cheesesteak really looks like and taste like. read more

Donkeys place (original) is located in Camden. It's been around a long time and has garnered a reputation thanks to the late Anthony Bourdain and the Philly-centric sitcom I've never seen called "the Goldbergs." The original location is one I've visited several times, I once even walked there after being in nearby Lourdes hospital. Walking in Camden? Gasp! Yes I survived both the hospital stay AND the walk down Haddon ave. The original location is loaded with charm. They wisely haven't polished away the patina developed over the years. Yes, they did have the Anthony Bourdain episode playing on a loop, and they do sell "merch." But that didn't stop the place from being a true community hub: local residents mingle with tourists and hospital employees. The place was hopping at lunch time. The bar? Cheap shots and beers. Lovers of cheesesteaks, history, local color and booze should pay the place a visit. So why did I just go ramble on about the Camden spot? Donkeys Too in Medford frankly fails to possess almost any of the above, aside from copious "merch" for sale. What else it does have? the cheesesteaks! They are remarkably similar to those found at the original. The Kaiser rolls are fresh and must be from the same bakery. The beef is placed on the roll in long cuts, it isn't chopped up like a typical cheesesteak. The roll holds up to the grease fairly well, but I don't recommend traveling too far before consuming. It comes wit wiz by default, I opted for provolone and found it to be superior. No frills inside, in fact all of the seating was put away and they're operating on a takeout-only basis for now. Service was decent particularly given it was all high school aged kids working there. Much respect to them. The food didn't take too long to come out and everything was made correctly. The steak is great and definitely different than the run of the mill. One sandwich will certainly provide satiety to any normal individual. We got fries for the hell of it with spicy ketchup, and it was indeed packing a kick! The fries weren't too soggy, they were surprisingly good and well seasoned. Onions always seem appropriate on a steak, get those too. I figure I'll likely get agita anyway so I might as well go all out. Be sure to bring some paper towels or wet naps. The tiny "pizzeria" style napkins provided by the shop simply do not adequately absorb the grease produced by the decadent mixture of cheese/cheese-like product (in the case of wiz) and steak (perhaps ribeye?). I did have to heed nature's call and was a bit horrified by what I saw in the restroom. Not any worse than a random no-name gas station but not encouraging for a place preparing food. Floor was wet, soap was in short supply. They did have paper towels at least. Also, the trash can outside was overflowing. That one could be on the landlord. Cards are accepted. Total for 2 steaks and an order of fries was $28. Certainly not cheap, but I've paid more at overrated chains like shake shack and gotten a lot less! Parking is adequate as private lot as the adjacent storefront in the small strip mall is vacant. Fridges had some different soft drinks including the usual Delaware valley staples like birch beer. They gave me a big paper cup at no charge to fill with water. No "water shaming" with the kiddie sized clear plastic cup like some places do it. I hate that! While this lacks the soul of the original Donkey's Place- Medford ain't Camden after all - the product you come here for is very good. I recommend stopping by if you're ever in the Medford/Marlton/western beginnings of the pine barrens area to see what the hype is about. Be ready to consume it in your vehicle. Pack napkins, your appetite and digestive aids of choice. read more

Great sandwiches! Piled high with deliciously thin sliced beef and topped with sautéed onions, no one would expect it to come on a poppy Kaiser roll-but that's what makes it Donkeys! The best! read more

Would have been a nice sandwich...but, they use cheap meat!!! Ruins what could have been a nice sandwich!!!

Both places in Camden and Medford are wonderful places to enjoy a steak sandwich. Different than any other. Camden is better if you want a drink with your sandwich other than soda. read more

Steak (Philly cheesesteak) with onions - the steak is definitely better than the steak in other Philly cheesesteaks. The onions added nice flavor. It had just the right amount of provolone cheese. I loved how the bread had poppy seeds as it added a bit of texture. The bread was soft and fluffy. Fries - seasoned well! Overall, this is a great place for Philly cheesesteaks but definitely on the pricey side. read more

Great little spot to grab a cheesesteak if you are in the Medford/Marlton area. Second location based off of the Anthony Bordain favorite in Camden. I have had both and they are just as good here. Service is quick and every time I have been there is virtually no wait. They have plenty of seating inside and a ton of parking. Philadelphians argue if this even counts as a cheesesteak because of the poppyseed bun vs a traditional hoagie roll but I put this in my top five in the area regardless. Highly recommend if in the area. read more

Mediocre cheesesteak. Panzerotti was okay, but I've had better. I'm slightly disappointed because of all of the high reviews I've read and heard about this place.... All in all, will probably try again at a later date to see if it was a fluke or not... I'm hoping it is. read more

Great cheesesteak and onion rings . A little hard to find. Terrific and very nice and friendly service.

I prefer this location to the original Donkeys to be honest. They aren't as greasy in my opinion. I've had sandwiches from the camden location that were so greasy they couldn't be picked up but I've yet to experience this here. Add onions and their spicy sauce !!! read more

THE BEST CHEESE STEAK IVE EVER HAD! Despite the seeded roll, which swayed me prior. We were treated at work today to take out. I had a steak w onions - beyond delicious!!! The onion rings were good, but a bit too greasy for me, & Im not a fan of the slightly sweet taste they had. Sorry. Id definitely say a MUST GO !!! read more

Absolutely delicious cheesesteak. Couldn't tell my husband into one because as a native Philadelphian he likes his steak sandwiches on long rolls.

I've been wanting to try this place for some time and it did not disappoint! I was skeptical about the bun... but it works! It's so good nothing is overpowering in the cheesesteak... it just flows.... We ordered Togo and it was ready in the 15 minute timeline they gave! Super quick pick up! The inside is small but would be a cute place to stop for a bite! LOTS of soda choices and the fries are PHENOMENAL...... I took 1 star away because I felt the prices were a little high! But don't let that stop you! The food was delicious read more

These cheesesteaks are moist, juicy, and delicious. And big. Like the-kaiser-is-as-big-as-my-face big. Provolone + extra onions is my fav and where it's at. Panzarotti was crisp...standard/salty/delicious amalgam of cheese + sauce inside. read more

Too! Yes Too! This place is good too! Having visited their other location in Camden recently, Donkey's Place Too isn't as great original but it's in a far better surrounding and offers later hours. This outpost serves a great sandwich as the original with the same great large cut fried onions but with a noticable less cheese in the sandwich. It's also served on a great soft poppyseed bun that eats far bigger than it looks. It's a great cheese steak sandwich for sure and I wouldn't have an issue with going to either place for this. I would probably be more likely to come here given the later hours. With my sandwich, I doubled down on the onions and ordered some fried onions rings. These were slightly disappointing but not for the right reasons. Generally speaking, fresh onion rings are terribly under salted. This onion ring doesn't suffer from being undersalted but does suffer in that the sliced onions that are used for the rings are not sliced large enough. The ratio to exterior breading to interior onion is totally off and as a result, it felt like I was eating the breading more so than anything else. This lack on onion flavor is a simple fix since it looks these are freshly made on site. For refreshments, they have raspberry and peach Coca-Cola's in the fridge which I must say puts smile on my face. There aren't too many shops sporting these variations of coca-cola around. The shop is friendly and inviting. There are board games and a small arcade game for the kids. The service was quick and efficient. read more

Best cheesesteak outside of Philly. Haven't been to the Camden location but highly recommend stopping by Donkey's in Medford. For starters it is a seeded roll - don't let this deter you from trying! Order the sandwich with onions and cheese (of course). One can argue that it's not on a roll - which it's true - but wait 'till you take your 1st bite. You'll thank me later. read more

Been on the cheesesteak bucket list forever because who doesn't want to try the only kaiser style cheesesteak around?! If not for nothing, definitely good marketing to separate yourself from the rest! We got one cheesesteak with onions and one chicken cheesesteak. At first glance for the chicken, I was skeptical. It's not chopped up in thin slices, BUT at first bite I was pleasantly surprised! It was tender and flavorful. My husband said he liked the chicken over the steak. The roll was perfect. Fresh and soft. I enjoyed them, but I'm not sure if I would drive out of the way again to go grab 'em. If we happened to be in the area, sure why not. I guess what I'm saying is it's a decent sandwich that hit the spot, but not a contender for Philly's best! read more

Best cheesesteaks. Fast service. Delightful seasoned fries. Exceptional onion rings and the best in class rolls. The chicken finger platter was scrumptious. It's definitely time to go to Donkeys Too in Medford. There are poster walls of yesteryear showing original people and days gone by. Try the house made hot peppers. Love it here. Order ahead or eat in. Just don't miss out. Did I mention they have the best cheesesteaks? read more

I haven't been to the original location but can confidently say these are the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. The roll is like a pillow and the meat is sliced and not chopped into a million pieces (pet peeve). Fried onions are perfect. I got the onion rings and they were very generous; probably too much for one person. Then, they gave me a massive order of fries that they had extra to take home so they wouldn't go to waste. They were seasoned so well. Seriously, go here. read more

I have made it to the infamous Donkeys. Mind you this one is in Medford in a small off the beaten path shopping center but WOW. Customer service was great and the food even better. The rolls are a lot larger than your normal poppy roll and they LOAD it with steak, onions and cheese. This is the best cheesesteak in the area. I was so full I couldn't even eat my French fries. A must try and I will definitely be back! read more
