Have you ever been to Donkey's?
For me this was a throw back sort of adventure. I haven't been to Donkey's in at least 14 years. In fact, the last time I was at Donkey's we were still living on LBI.
Donkey's has a limited menu. Cheesesteaks and french fries. Oh, you can add extra onions, or extra cheese, but that is the extent of the menu. Fortunately they do cheesesteaks well.
The very first thing you notice about a Donkey's cheesesteak is that it is served on a round, poppy seeded, kaiser roll. YUM! The cheese is actually slices of American cheese and the steak is a little thicker than what I remember a Philly cheesesteak to be like. It has been years since I have had a cheesesteak, and years since I have been able to eat a full sized sandwich. I really thought I would not be able to finish my sandwich, but I did, and I also had a few fries1
Our reason for heading to Donkey's was simple, I just wanted Mark to experience some of the things I know to be unique about where we live. Donkey's is certainly unique!
They are open only Monday through Friday and they close every day at 4. The area is reported to be a little risky, and while I have never experienced that, there is a reason that they close at 4!
Donkey's is located at 1223 Haddon Avenue in Camden. It is not haute cuisine but it is yummy. For those of you not willing to venture into Camden, there is Donkey's Too located on Tomlinson Mill Road in Medford. I have never eaten there, but I am guessing it is worth a visit!
