    Chicken stripes
    Andy B.

    Simply used to be the best donair shop in Edmonton! But the portion size has gone down considerably and when my wife ordered chicken stripes all she got was a "chicken" burger cut into stripes. Hard to believe that our once favourite cheat meal stop is no longer worth our time.

    Well damn. That...was really good! I've been a Simon King purest for my entire adult life. Indeed...they are fantastic! But simply put. Simply Donairs... Simply awesome! Was in the neighbourhood and noticed that they have great reviews. Decided to put it to the test and expand my horizons. Very clean, bright and modern decor. Really nice for such a place. Friendly staff. And when it comes to what matters most...a Donair that certainly gives the competition a run for their money! Fresh pita, veggies, and a delicious sweet sauce topped my Regular donair. Meat was well seasoned and cooked perfectly! My eyes have been openned. Count on me being back! Update - April 2017 Not as good as the first time... Not enough sauce. Great meat. Either they messed up...or their garlic sauce is Taziki. Still good...but not as amazing as I recall. If it were my local shop...I could certainly work with them.

    I finally tried the donair salad. Yes. Salad. Under this mess of delicious donair meat is lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and olives.

    I have been to two locations of Simply Donair. The St. Albert one is great too. Their donair anything is my favourite in the city. I always get a small donair. The small is pretty big, it is similar to most regular size donairs from other places. Fries always are made to order. But the donair salad is my new favourite. All the things I love about donairs in a "convenient" tray to eat. It is much less messy, but just as delicious. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, with optional olives and banana peppers. A never ending supply of donair meat drowning, in a good way, in sweet sauce. I have never had a bad meal here, just big, delicious ones.

    Solid food. The donair meat was the highlight. Sliced by hand, moist and flavourful. Perhaps a little too chopped up while fried for my liking but the taste was unchanged. The sweet sauce was tasty. They had a good assortment of vegetables including canned mushrooms which were better than I thought they would be. I observed that if you were ordering a burger they would fry the onions and mushrooms for you if you wanted. Nice touch. I would come back if in the area.

    I thought Id stop in here for lunch as my coworker could not stop raving about how these were "best donairs in the city" Meh Id hardly call them "the best" but I will say that they're the biggest I've seen in the city. One thing I found kind of gross though was how greasy the meat was... When I got to the bottom of the donair all the grease had solidified and become and orange paste... So the last few bites ended up in the trash lol. I will say however the staff were very nice, and the dining room was exceptionally clean. Plus it looked very classy! (A classy donair joint, who knew eh?)

    When you just want a good donair, this is the place. The place is very clean, has lots of seating, the portions are generous and prices are very fair. And the donair meat is dang good! It's a bit in the middle of no where in the east side but worth the drive.

Drinks: Slam-O-Nade: 9/10, flavor was great, could have been more sour. Love that they add a touch of slush on top! Wild Peach Pie: boyfriend disliked but I thought it was delicious and give it a 9/10. Cherry Pie cocktail: 9/10, great flavor, would get again. Double flatty: 10/10, great flavor, great bun, great meat flavor and moist. Poutine: sadly I hated the gravy but boyfriend liked it. Fries underneath were super crisp and yummy. Next time I'd like to try the fries with "dip". Pickle: boyfriend loved. Great crunch considered the size. Mini key lime pie: 10/10. Crust and filling were both great. A little too much for 1 person post-meal but great size to share and available for takeout too. Milkshake: 10/10 so authentic, creamy, coffee flavor wasn't very strong. Loved that you could see them use the cool milkshake cups, add soft serve, blend.

    Really good quality burgers for a great price. It's that simple, which is why Let's Smash is my…read morefavourite Edmonton burger stop. Burgers are made fresh and smashed just right, not too thin that they crumble at the edges or fall apart in the bun. All burgers are two patty minimum. The most basic burger costs $12, and comes with cheese and a ton of fresh veggie and traditional toppings. A burger combo is $17 and includes a drink. Upgrade to a poutine or a milkshake for a couple of bucks. Their fries are really good, chunky and made fresh. Haven't tried the milkshakes. Proper old-school burger joint food. Compare with fast food and other small local burger places. A quarter pounder at McD's costs $8 these days, crazy. At places like Woodshed or Foxburger, you can't get just a burger, and prices start at $14 (single patty no cheese) or even $20. Drinks are extra. I love these local burger places too, but the burger quality is similar in my opinion, and I really like the style of burger served here. Let's Smash has the Goldilocks "just right" kind of smash, the burger buns hold up to the contents, and the toppings are fresh and flavourful though not as fancy as other places. One time though, I had a burger here that was topped with gyro toppings, specifically the pickled veggies, and it was delicious. We always sit in, there's plenty of seating space, and usually some soccer or European music contests on the TV at a low volume. Service is efficient, order at the counter and have a seat. No alcohol service means less trouble, which is nice for lunch or early supper on Jasper Ave. We generally get friendly service and have never felt forgotten or neglected for the steady stream of delivery drivers.

    Delicious burger! Served with fries. Was prepared in 7 minutes. The ambiance is pop music.read more

    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.
