OT: Donairs: The official food of the HF Oilers board :Part 2

[Playa Hejda]

The Owner Robbie retired three months ago and it's not the same.

Awww damn, good for him and all, but I really wish he would have thought about me before making that decision.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Marco's by MacEwan is pretty good too.

 

[Insta]

Has anyone had Fat Boyz on the northside? Any good?

 

[IBleedOil247]

Lynwood and Simon King are my favs

 

[Pourinthecoal]

Anyone else tried Top Donair that's RIGHT next to Swiss Donair? First off, they're good enough to be a comparison to Primetime Donair, in fact I place them in the top three in the city. As well, I never get chicken donairs, however tried one at Top and it was excellent. Clean, humble, great donairs. By the way, there must be some kind of backstory that Top moved right next door to Swiss?! Will both places survive?

So you've switched allegiances?



I live right in the area, and I haven't gone to Top yet. I asked the lady at Swiss about Top, and she said the family talked to them and said they were wasting their time.

I did hear from another turncoat friend of mine that said Top was actually really really really good.

I might just try them out.

Sad to hear swiss has gone downhill.

My top 3 were Swiss, primetime and Simon king. Now I live in riverbend and don't have any of them nearby really. I do stop for a Simon king after a good lifting session at the gym though. Need that protein and calories, no tastier way to do it either.

I literally just finished the girlfriends large Primetime from last night she couldn't finish. Mmmm Breakfast. Open HF and this was bumped.

Went to Queen on North side 50 st last night. Still awesome, same great owners, both them and there kids still work there. Support a great local business that has been there like 30 years.

Never tried it. Anyone tried it?

 

[frag2]

I tried Fat Boyz years ago. Nothing special but again, that was like 2006

I guess I should check out TOP Donair hahah

 

[Nic]

Never tried it. Anyone tried it?

I live close by, I really like them, meat has a distinctive taste and really good sweet sauce. Place has rather random hours though.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Simon King.

Best donairs in south edmonton.

OMG I am salivating right now.

3 more months till I get one of these in my belly.

 

[wicked username]

Going to Edmonton this weekend. Primetime for the first time in two years.

I heard from multiple donair enthusiasts that Swiss donair is the best they've ever had. I've yet to try it. Anyone else confirm this?

It's been confirmed quite a few times here.

Not sure where the going downhill thing came from a few posts up.

Swiss and Richards donair are my 2 favorites...but I haven't been to Richards in a couple of years.

Looks like meat is back on the menu boys!

Definitely a lot of people's fave for sure. But not mine. And I used to eat there quite regularly.

 

[MessierII]

You guys should check out more subs on the southside on 50th street by the lumber jacks on roper road. The most mouth melting donair you'll ever have.

 

[Up the Irons]

Marco's Famous and Swiss are my favourites right now. But nothing currently beats old Charles Smart on 82ave and 91st. Too bad its gone.

Swiss went downhill when they became complacent. And they hired too many. It's like they knew they were good so to cut costs, get by with the least.

TOP donair [shop next to swiss] - I tried it out yesterday. Tastes exactly like Swiss IMO but cheaper by a buck or so and the veggies tasted fresher. It was one dude running the whole place when I went yesterday.

And any place is better than Eddies Donair near Lakeview.

Any place.

Interesting about Swiss. They do have allot of people working there.

i've tried Eddie's...wasn't too crazy about them at all. Eddie seemed a bit cocky for my taste.

I'll be trying Top this week.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Swiss, Primetime are pretty stellar still in my opinion.

Anyone tried Simply Donairs on 50st and Capilano? I think it's amongst the best I've had. I think they might have a St. Albert location as well.

Has anyone found a good donair place in Calgary?

No Calgary sucks for Donairs
