Really wanted a donair for lunch, seeing as it was 12:15 on a Friday. Looked like it had been closed for months when I rolled up . Went down the block for a 20 dollar salad, which was somewhat disappointing as well.
Hours are wrong. It was closed and the door. Looked like it had greasy splatter on it. Not an appealing entrance. That was a wasted journey halfway across town. I guess I'll have to try the burritos. The local Taco Time didn't impress me so I decided I wanted a donair. The other option is maybe Vietnamese sub from the Pho place. I want to stop buying fast food sandwiches and I want like authentic hand-built because you get a better deal. Once I found out about Subway and their chicken, I ditched that place. Bye-bye.
One of our donairs was served on a tortilla, one was served on a pita. This isn’t acceptable, when you order a donair you’re not looking for a tortilla…. If you’re out of stock on pitas at least give the customer a heads up. Fries were good, hence the two stars. Just wasn’t that great, we haven’t been back and don’t plan to be. The donair was saucy and abit soggy, even tho we ate inside. Didn’t finish. The restaurant is dingy as well, service was slow, just don’t bother. People just walked out while we were in there due to not being acknowledged by anyone. Owner was friendly tho, once you got to the counter.
We went here because it has good reviews as we were passing through town, but we’re sadly disappointed. Half the menu was unavailable at 1pm, the server took one order and then went to the back and took 20 minutes to make two wraps and two Cesar salads. The food was average at best and charge $6 for side Cesar salad that was very small. No choices of what you can put on your wrap as they just went to the back and made it. Really disappointing. I enjoy trying independent restaurants, but this sort of experience is why people end up at taco time down the street like the other half of my family who didn’t want to wait another 20 minutes.
One of those little places that just had a nice friendly atmosphere, absolutely excellent food and a warm eager owner looking to share his obvious love of the food he makes. The owner apologized for a limited choice due to no staff in that night (ergo overall 4 as not able to try other offerings) he immediately gave us some samples of his beef which were delicious. We ordered the beef donairs which he coupled with tasty stick fries that were on the house that night. Overall a definite stop for when you are in Cranbrook and next time we hope to try the many other menu items.
Awesome donairs and good service! The owner gave us free french fries and they were amazing! Definitely recommend this place!
So yummy! Such generous portions and friendly service. The chicken donair my husband had was excellent. My plate as you can see was generous and delicious. I will eat three times off this. Really tasty tzatziki sauce too yummy yummy yummy
First time in Cranbrook, called for a donair pick up... What a gentleman the owner is! Asked what came on it he, he told me and said 5 minutes until its ready "and my friend free fries".. the fries have a great seasoning which i didnt expect at all, donair.... 10/10 love it. Hope to be back for another, what a lad!_------- fast forward one day, i get the small donair still10/10 fries7/10 but hey it wasn't the owner working today but his staff! Shoot the best staff ever Ben & the lady at the front desk.. thank you for being so good, huge smiles great service. Day 2/2 sevice 9/10 thats a major win.(last two photos are day two)
Vegetarian options: Pizza salad falafal Parking: A lot Kid-friendliness: Sure Wheelchair accessibility: Easy
Gone down hill big time! $53.75 for a lrg and small donair, 2 cans of pop. Outrageous
Amazing donairs of course, and the pizza is amazing! By far the best pizza in town! Homemade dough, sauce and top notch ingredients pulled thick! Update: Downgraded score. Sadly, it s not near the same quality as it was under the old ownership. I likely will not return.
On our way through Cranbrook we stopped at Rocky s Donair like we used to always do because it was the best donair ever. This time we ordered 2 large donairs with tzatziki sauce and what we got was 2 salad wraps with sweet sauce and tons of hot sauce with only a little bit of meat for $40. I don t know what happened there but it s not like it used to be and they will never get our money ever again.
They have authentic meat, pressed and shaved off the rotating grill. The flavors were great. I like having a choice of size, I chose large, never had a choice of size for a gyro/donair before. Portions were huge.
Tremendous! I had the chicken donair, which was very generous both in size and fillings, all of which were great. Cant recommend more.
AMAZING food, very nice owner. If I lived in cranbrook I d be a regular customer for sure!
Would have liked a better range of beverages, and to offer hot beverages. Food was fine for what it was.
Have had much better and cheaper and no tomatoes when I went but with one option in Cranbrook I guess what do you expect
What a rip off. They have upped the price of a med donair to $18 and majority was cabbage. Very little meat for the price. Two medium donors plus 2 pops was $45. Menu on-line does not show the $3 increase they had taped up. Would not recommend
Huge Donairs, a large will feed two people. I usually order a medium, and I end up taking some of it home for later
The food was great but was pretty expensive other than that it was amazing
Pretty good donair but the wrap can be a little stale at times. Other than that pretty good.
The food was delicious and they serve large portions. The only reason we didn t give it five stars is they upped the price by $3 for each dish, relative to their posted menu, so for a family of four to eat it cost us $50. A small chicken donair was $16.50! In hindsight we d have bought less food, so that would have helped, but the prices seems rather exorbitant.
Absolutely terrible! We ordered donairs hoping for the true delicious donair experience. What we got was not even close. Donairs were made on wraps not pitas, sweet sauce was watered down mayonnaise, the meat was grossly salty and it was served with cabbage not lettuce. We were charged $40 for 2 small donairs. This was beyond disappointing. I do not recommend going here.
The quality of donair is definitely not what it was like with the previous owner. Instead of being served on a traditional pita, it was served with a tortilla that instantly went soggy and fell apart right away from the sauce. It was also unpleasantly cold like the condiments were fresh from the refrigerator, the previous owner would at least use a panini press to completely warm the donair. We also very specifically said no sweet sauce, only tangy garlic and tatziki sauce, instead it was loaded with sweet sauce which had a hint of garlic. I just wish they would have stayed with the way the previous owner did everything, We miss you Sal!!!!!
Worst donair ever! Wont go again! Sorry to have to say this, but be aware. They filled the Donair with cabbage and way way too many onions. The beef was tough and way too little for the price. And they charged $18+ for medium donair, no cheese and a can pop. Way too much!
Almost disrespectful to put this resteraunt in the same category as fast food our food was being made before we even paid and the service was outstanding. We sat down and received our food in minutes, and it was simply delicious. Skip mcdonalds or DQ next time you want something fast, recommend to everyone!
Great donair, Rocky is very fast and efficient.
Im never disappointed!!! I had a large, beef donair loaded with meat, coleslaw, tomatoes and onions, with sweet-garlic sauce (I also hear that the tzatziki sauce is great for those who might prefer it) For around $17-ish I was full but was still wanting more! Atmosphere is fine I just always get take out!
Dinars could have used more meat ! But still good !
The worst donair we have ever eaten. Guy at front counter was nice enough. We asked for sweet sauce and didnt get any on it. They used cabbage instead of lettuce. We were passing though Cranbrook or we would have taken the food back. Very disappointed considering all the good reviews. The price was terrible as well. We paid $30 for a small & medium. Wont be back
What a gem! The owner (?) has the warmest demeanor and is very welcoming. The food was quick and delicious! Thank you for the cheese pies.
2 very over cook beef Donairs. We ask for Tzatziki and hot-sauce none in either one. We will not return. So dry, no tomato, cucumber but lots of chunks of cabbage. Sad, very sad.
This was truly a one of a kind experience. This is probably the only time in my life that I have experienced heartburn and indigestion at the same time. Ordered a chicken donair, which was very dry and over cooked. Make sure you read the small sign that says add $3.00 to everything on the menu, and count you change, because they have no clue. Not sure how this restaurant is still in operation, Rockie quit selling Donairs, if you cant make them right, dont make them at all. Stick to pizzas,
I came here with my family. We were passing through to get to our grandparents house. I was pleasently surprised, the food was actually really good, the service was really fast and at the time i dident know it but the owner Sal was the one Serving us. If your in the area check this place out. Saddly it looks like this place closed down, or they moved RIP
Holy cow, never again!!! We were traveling through the area and decided to give Rockys donair a shot. As the saying goes, you can tell a lot from first impressions. The restaurant was worn and very dated. I had to ask the employee, if they were even open. Still not detered, we placed our order. I went to the bathroom, while I waited for our food. The restroom looked worse than a gas station restroom and to top it off they had a roll of toilet paper to dry your hands with. When the food arrived, it was cold and tasted a little off. We then let them know that it didnt taste right and they started to get defensive about the freshness. They made no attempt to make things right, by offering a refund or making a different dish. We left with no food and no refund!!!! Highly recommend you skip this place!!!
Should be open more, great food
Rockys... more like Doughys. Thier pizza dough was so uncooked I thought I was eating sushi. Please go here if you like food poisoning!
We ordered pizza. Im not picky about my pizza, I even like frozen pizza. This, however, was really bad pizza. I am pretty sure they used salami instead of ham on my Hawaiian pizza because there was peppercorn. I still have the bad taste in my mouth. And why was the dough not cooked?! Is this a thing? I also like to eat my pizza with tomato sauce, but they forgot to add it. In summary, no sauce, uncooked dough, mystery salami for ham, and I already have diarrhea. I probably shouldnt have eaten it, but I was hungry.
Pretty good poutine
6 years ago: Amazing food and friendly staff. The quality of my medium beef donair was incredible and the portion size was worth talking about. Flavor was spot on, will definitely go back. Today: Rocky sold the business, so the heart and soul is gone. If you were looking for Rockys donairs, that time has passed
I brought back donairs today for my family to Creston. I was very disappointed. I spent $80+ for 4 donairs and drinks. I gave a good tip because I thought it was going to be good like lots of times we have been in the past. I will never eat Rockys again! No sweet sauce like I love and only cabbage and very spicy onions. No tomatoes!!! That is so lazy and corrupt! I paid very big money and got very low quality wraps. Shame on you Rockys!
Great Donair! Tasty and filling.
The meat on the doniar was good. However we expected the donairs to be better after we just paid 40 dollars for two donairs and two pops with a tip. The onion is WAY WAY too over powering and took over the taste of everything else which is very unfortunate. Great service but was a little disappointed in the food.
Truly the best lunch option on Hwy 3. Go big, get all the fixings, sweet and tzatziki sauce, spicy mmmmm best donair I ve ever had. You ll be back.
Friendly atmosphere best fries in East Kootenay
Best donairs Ive had in a long time
The reasons
Best donairs in town, always very friendly!
This place is insane, I love Donairs, and this guy and his team know what theyre doing! Absolutely incredible.
Sal the Owner and his staff are outstanding! They made sure we had everything we needed for a group. I am so impressed how family friendly they are. We got everything we wanted !!!! I would highly recommend
Sal and company welcome us out of towers and made us feel right at home. The food was awesome as well. Coming back soon
Really nice people, excellent service, great food! The owner comped us fries and chicken
So delicious and the owners were amazing. Highly recommend going
Some of the best service and hands down great food every time.
This place has the best service, whether your a first time customer or a long time customer. Really great food as well, i recommend the donair pizza or the fries. Dont worry they got you covered like your the boss.
Have been going here since they opened and always amazing food. They recently started breakfast from 7 until 11am Fri to Sunday, which we tried today. Wow it was fabulous. Dont expect a varied menu but more of a one size fits all. We had eggs, pancakes, bacon and donair meat, or you could sub sausage for one of the other meats. Add to that a little fresh fruit, hash browns and toast all together for a very fair price. Coffee also included. Not your typical breakfast place but well worth going to.
Happened to find my self driving through Crankbrook and a 11 hour drive and needed a quick place to stop for a bite. What a find! Would instantly recommend Rockys Donair to anyone, great owner. If you know your coming through order the donair pizza ahead of time. Must stop...
I only give reviews for terrible and absolutely awesome. Donair and Fallafel 6 stars. And the Pizza looked so good I wanted to take one to go.
Best donairs Ive had in over a decade. The service is fantastic and portions generous. They go above and beyond to ensure they have the order right. Its been the place we visited most since moving here.
Awesome food and great service!
Best place to have domain fires are the best to go with. super friendly owner. One visit is must if u r in Cranbrook
Awesome pizza different than the rest
Stopped in to pick up some supper as I am in Cranbrook for work. Immediately entering, everyone is super friendly and the place is really nice. I felt very welcomed and I just cant stress enough how awesome everything was. The food, the service, just everything! Please please please stop by here, it is definitely worth your time!
The food is absolutely fantastic and has been since I started coming when it opened. The service is next to none and the crew makes us feel like family. I find myself constantly coming here to go, but Im going to start staying for the experience. Love this place or deserves 10 stars
Ive been coming here since the place opened, and its hands down my favorite restaurant in town. The donairs are absolutely delicious, very well priced for the amount of food you get, and better than most donairs youll find in big cities. Everything Ive tried on the menu is amazing. The service is also exceptional. The staff treats you like family, and they are always very generous to friendly customers. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.
They have really good fries and really good pizza and very friendly
We ordered a pizza donair. The donair was delicious but the dough tasted stale and old- definitely not made within the hour.
The last few times Ive come here have been a disappointment. Chicken is always cold and super tough/burnt
Meat tasted old and reheated. The owner was swearing at a guy when we were trying to eat our food in the restraunt. Rice was good thou.
F you
The owner offers such good services.
The food was delicious! Service was great and friendly. I m from out of town and I m picky about my donair shops but this one has got to be one of my favourites. Definitely stop in for one of the best donairs money can buy you.
This place has the most amazing Greek salad and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great and fun. Definitely be back
Staff and Owners are extremely friendly, their donairs are to die for! Update 2022: Sal still runs a top tier business, even with the lack of staff. Food still remains amazing. And his customer service is unheard of.
Amazing food! The donairs and specialty fries are to die for.
Friendly service, fast and delicious. Very fresh ingredients.
Falafel and donair sandwiches were great. Decor and bathrooms not great, but looked like still in transition from a recent move. Vegetarian options: Falafel
Sometimes you have to wait a couple extra minutes but it is so worth the wait because the employees are some of the nicest people you will meet. The food is amazing and I will definitely come back again. Thank u for being do politely mannered rockeys employees.
Best Donair in the kootanys. Service was good as well
Best food in the valley
Above and beyond service, amazing food and the owner is the nicest man youll ever meet !! 10 out of 10 recommend:)
We were just driving through on our way to Alaska, but the service at this place was amazing as was the food. He even gave us some extra food for our traveling puppies. Delicious and Excellent service! Highly recommend!
The food there is always delicious. Sal is a great person and treats everyone like family. If your ever in the area you should definitely stop in, Sal will hook you up with a monster of a domain that will leave you feeling stuffed. The donair poutine is also a must try.
BEST DONAIR IVE EVER HAD !
Amazing food!
One of my favorite places to eat, The owner is personable, makes you feel like family, professional and an amazing cook!!! Love the food, Love the service!!!
Amazing service. Super friendly and generous.
Bought a large donair it was discussing large chunks of hard cabbage inside and it was cold. The price was changed by 3 dollars more and I was not notified about. didnt even know how to wrap a donair properly everything was falling out. Used too much sauce that made the bread soggy Ordered large the large donair and seemed like small. I would never recommend it to even my enemy. Is the owner even lebanese cause they know how to wrap a donair.
Delicious food and the owner is very nice! Such a great spot!
The guys an absolute beauty. Food was 10/10.
Thank you for the free French fries , the Donairs were delicious You guys ROCK!
Poor guy is severely understaffed but puts out a great meal.
Amazing food and a friendly guy. A staple whenever I come through.
They have the best Donair Ive ever had and the service is above par! Ill be back as long as they are open!!!
GREAT little restaurant! The food is really good. The owner is super friendly and we seem to get free samples, fries, or drinks everytime. Highly recommend the Donairs. Some of the best we have eaten. Food
I have called multiple times and they never ever pick up. Horrible store.
Is this place EVER actually open when its supposed to be open?!?!
The price doesnt match the quality. Too expensive for what you get. I think if the restaurant focused on creating a good product using higher quality ingredients it could do very well. As is I couldnt recommend it
Best Donair Ive ever had! Fantastic service
Amazing food and people
Great food great people
Tasty donair. Reasonable price and size.
Best pizza I have found in cranbrook.
What a fantastic place!! Love the pizza LOVE LOVE the Cesar salad, their donairs are yummy and their French fries are a must have!! Great job guys. Will definitely be coming back regularly
Amazing food and service. Highly recommend the rice plate!
Amazing donairs. Highly recommend!! Oh and the Donair poutine is an absolute must!!!
Ordered from Rockys about 20 minutes ago. The food hasnt even arrived yet and I can already give this place a 5 star review with conviction! It would be truly difficult to find any better customer service over the phone than what I just experienced ordering from Rockys. The gentleman who took our order could not have been friendlier and even said he would throw in a large order of extra fries free of charge!
Good pizza for sure.
The Greek salad isnt a greek salad Way too many onions and the wrong tomatoes, and not enough olives and feta....also vinegar?????who puts vinegar on a greek salad????? And whats with the minute rice? I give the beef rice plate 5/10
cool KEBAB.....
Worst chicken plate I ve had
Great pizza and service!
Best place in town for a donair by far!
Good food and good service.
Best Donair Ive had in years! Owner is friendly and charismatic the food is delicious. A local Cranbrook jewel.
This restaurant is worthy to try 100%, I have traveled and tried many pizzas, so far this is the best pizza and donair I had ever tried, It is worthy to give this rocks donair more than 5 stars. I am sure this rockys donair is the best in Canada! I loved it so much!
I have ordered 2 chicken donairs for delivery and they said it will be delivered in next 30 minutes but after an hour when I called them that I didn t got my food yet they made lan excuse that My phone was unreachable and I told them to deliver it again they delivered cold food and it wasn t fresh. Moreover they charge us really high :(
Best Donair in western Canada!
Donair is great! Staff are quiet but polite and friendly. Love their Donair
The food here is amazing, the owner is a great guy to talk with & definitely takes care of you here, Im from Alberta & is a must stop here place anytime Im coming by the area for work, would 100% recommend
Have had nothing but great service and even better food, since they opened.
Donairs were good
Exceptional quality and service. You can tell the owner is all about his food and pleasing his customers.
Awesome food
Pizza not good
Ordered a sub and a Greek salad, The sub was made on a hotdog bun and the Greek salad was 98% red onion with 3 olives. The portion was tiny and expensive for what you get.
Updated review: Donairs and sauces are still overly salty and the prices have gone up since I was last here. You know you have a problem when a night out at Firehall or Heidout costs the same as a walk-in-walk-out donair place.
Huge portions, freshly made, professional service
Loved the Lebanese pizza. Jaskaran and shubneet gave exceptional service.
Was hoping for a decent pizza and salad but no luck here. The pizza had way too much sauce on it and the caesar salad had way too much dressing on it. This was a waste of money. The service was also unfriendly. The 4.6 rating this place has is very suspicious. Cheat much?
Best donair pizza .... and really great food
Best quick service food in Cranbrook.... Beef Donair was amazing. I will be back for more soon.
Amazing service, great people!
Delicious Donair :)
The best pizza we had in a long time. The pizza dough is extremely tasty and fluffy and not dry. This is our 3rd time ordering but you must try their outstanding beef donairs. Yummy. There delivery was on time and our food was hot!.
Asked them to make my shawarma as they would. Did not disappoint! Definitely delivered. Delicious. Would recommend.
Hot and fresh, great tasting BIG donairs, friendly staff.
Not only the best donair Ive had but absolutely amazing fries!! Great friendly staff as well.
Best donairs, but atm, the chicken wings suffice. Met Rocky today, very kind, accommodating and the brother letter hanging above the service window says a lot. Will return and one day I will order one of his donairs again.
Unfortunately - CLOSED -
The donairs were delicious! Portions were big. The only reason for the missing star is the person working had no clue what donair sauce or any of the sauces they offered were. I would return in the future.
Very nice experience and beef donair tasted perfect!
Overall experience is mediocre. They seem to be in renovations (or not? Im not sure) and although its not a fair to compare them to some of the Lebanese and Turkish kebab shops, I think their wraps could use some flavour. Staff are friendly.
I only tried the chicken Donair Firstly, its called a shawarma. Secondly it was extremely under seasoned and the turnips had almost no flavour. The restaurant is welcoming and the staff are extremely kind. All its missing is my jida in the back to make the shawarma a little more flavourful. Not sure on the rest of the food, Im sure its good though.
Great donors I love them I go every time Im in Cranbrook
Ive only been here a few times and both times the food was great! I had a regular beef donair the first time and a donair poutine the second. The portions are huge and the prices are pretty good. I will definitely be back for another poutine. Plus they have massive aquariums you can look at while you wait for your food.
I am so immensely satisfied. Next time Im in Cranbrook Im coming back.
Had the best beef donair- great taste! Totally recommend it!!!
Best dang donairs around!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rockys has always had great food, love their donairs and their pizza. Also if youre ever in there when the owner is present he always goes above and beyond in the customer service department.
A bit pricey for take out but the food was delicious. I will definitely being going back.
10/10 donair. Super excited to have found a place that compares to the donair in the UK, all staff are amazing and super friendly. Love eating here when I come to cranbrook!
Best Donair I have ever had in my life. Highly recomended!
Service was nice
Best Donairs and the best pizza in town !! .... Ive been here a lot, but I have to tell you that you have to try the Lebanese Chicken PIZZA
Friendly staff. Pretty killer donair for the price. They even hooked me up with free fries! Do yourself a favor and eat here
We popped in on a whim and had lovely service, were thrilled to get complementary (delightful) fries with our meal, and some of the best donairs I have ever had.
Delicious!
What a great place, the staff are great and the Donairs are wonderful. Highly recommend.
Easy 5 Star Experience. I have had donairs from many places around the country and this is easily one of the best. Thick cut meat, fresh vegetables, great sauces and a fresh pita. Service was wonderful as well. We were given some fries and they were actually best fries I have ever had - must try! So crispy, dont know how they do it!
Good food, pricey but worth it
Great service and amazing French fries.
Amazing food and service definitely recommend.
Ordered chicken donair. Chicken didnt taste good, they used way too much sauce and my food fell apart immediately, the bread was stale, and they didnt put banana peppers and hot sauce on my wrap that I ordered.
The beef was Awsome. Great food
100% recommended to everyone! The food had so much flavour, the fries were delicious and everything was fresh and made with care. The customer service was phenomenal and overall just an amazing experience.
The food is awesome!
Happy helping customer service. Ill be back for my next pair of boots
Donairs are huge and delicious
Good donairs with the perfect level of spice!!
We stopped in on our way through Cranbrook. The food was amazing and service was friendly. Certainly worth the stop.
Best donair I have had since Worlds Finest Donair in Edmonton! The crispness of the beef, the flavours of the sauces, just a perfect balance of sweet and savoury with a it of a kick from the hot sauce. You will not regret coming here!
Ordered a pie, not a donair, and it was excellent!
First time in cranbrook I got a medium conair and Greek salad . I want to give these guys a huge shout out on their food it was absolutely delicious and fresh tasting and a bang for your buck portion wise I reccomend these guys with a huge 5 star rating
Amazing friendly service. Absolutely delicious donairs and fries seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend and will definitely be back and will become my go to in Cranbrook :) my family all gave two thumbs up
Really good and amazing chicken donair served with a great smile!
Fed our family for a good price, food was top notch but the service went above expectations. Love this place!
Love this place! No matter what I order Im never disappointed. And the service is great!
Went In today with my fiance and the staff was so friendly, they said our order would take 9-14 minutes so we sat down and the owner came out and offered us some free soda pop, when we got out order they added in a little surprise, FREE FRENCH FRIES! This was my first time coming here but it will not be my last, the food was delicious aswell!
Tasty, crispy, and lots of toppings!! Creative flavors and build your own options. Seen here is a medium pizza.
Some of the best fries Ive ever had!
There is great food and fast delivery 5 out of 5 would recommend
Very friendly staff and AWESOME food
Great food
Great food friendly staff! Food made fresh to order you can even see them carve the donair meat right there
Best donairs and pizza!! Sal is amazing!! Tell him I sent ya!!!!
Grab your covid masks and get over to Rockys! Donair this good should not be available in a small Country city but its here and its amazing!! As well as the best French fries in Cranbrook.
Delicious domain, friendly service.
Delicious food and super friendly staff! The fries were soo crispy!
A great Donair! The staff are friendly and efficient. SERVICE WITH A SMILE for a change the owner is friendly and nice too...I might mention he is a little eye candy, ifin you know what I mean...lol Seriously though best donairs in the Kootenays
