So I went in there to “try there donair” Got a warm greeting and also a run down of what everything was on the menu. I tried to get the donair but decided for the Gyro instead and boy oh boy it does not disappoint! I also got a poutine and I would show you guys pictures but it would just be empty containers! Great service Great food be back 100% Thank you !

Seriously one of the best places for donairs in the city. Not only are the donairs delicious,but all the food we've tried from there has been great! The owner really goes out of his way to make his customers happy and is always such a welcoming and kind person to talk to. Support local restaurants, support Franklin donair!

I had the chicken shawarma wrap and it was delicious, full of flavour and lots of meat. The two guys running the business are very polite and friendly. New fav shawarma spot in town. I’ll try the platter next time.

First time trying Franklin Donair. It definitely won’t be my last. I have read some of the reviews saying it’s pricey, but I didn’t find their prices out of line. A regular size Donair, is plenty of food to feed one person. The donair had everything you would expect to find on a Donair and everything was very fresh and very good. One of the better donairs I have had in Fort McMurray.

★★★

The best donair in Fort mcmurray. Food is 5 star but after finding hair in my donair it kind of turned me off. Service was 2 stars because of the attitude the employees have and if you try to Confront them, then you’re getting attitude. I’ll Keep eating as long as they are giving me good food!

This is a gem! I tried the Donair and wings and they both exceeded my expectations. Donair has toasted bread that I really enjoyed, very flavorful! Wings are awesome! Probably one of the top 5 wings I've tried I really enjoyed them! Owner was nice and treated extremely well. Helped us with making decisions and was paitent with our order. Will be coming back again!

Apparently donairs are Canadian gyros. I skipped the weird sweet sauce and went with the traditional tzatziki sauce. One of the best gyros I have had. Tender meat and perfect pita.

I take my reviewing reputation very seriously, and I would never risk my credibility by leaving an excellent review for mediocre food. When I venture out to a previously un-encountered restaurant, I will judge the nourishment with an objective pallet. That being said, franklin donair was delicious. We ordered the beef donair wrap with fries and both were really good. Place looks low-key but the food was great, generous portions for a fair cost. The sweet sauce was delicious and well integrated throughout the wrap. Fries were good too. Service was great as well, the guy there was very friendly and helpful with the menu, he suggested we add banana peppers and that was a great choice. Would recommend to anyone in the area

First visit was a success! I grabbed a Donaire and Wings, looking forward to the next time I downtown and hungry

★★★★★
December 22, 2023

Walked in and owner asked if I had been there before. I told him I hadn t so he asked how hungry I was and we decided on a donair. I picked the middle size as I was middle hungry, and the portion was huge. While making it he told me it would be the best donair I ve had. Well, I can honestly say, this is the best donair I ve ever had in Canada, easily. He explained that he does the meat himself which makes all the difference. Also, there was a hint of mint that really took it over the top for me. Works so well in it. I ll be back when I m back in town. Definitely want to try more of the menu now.

★★★★★
December 22, 2023

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! This is the only place I will go for donair, they are for sure the best in town! I highly recommend ordering take-out because it is so nice to talk to the staff/owner they are so friendly and provide the best service, I always loving going in!!

Tried the Regular Donair, and it was absolutely ! The donair meat had great flavor and was juicy; Not old or overly dry.. yet not juicy enough for a soggy pitta!! They use shredded mozzarella, not processed slices of nastiness, and the sauce was the closet Ive had to Donair sauce since moving from NS to Fort McMurray Definitely my new favorite spot when craving a Donair.

Ordered the Sparta platter, chicken rice soup and veg samosas and hummus. It was delicious only thing that was lemon potatoes had bread crumb and not the traditional lemon Greek potatoes cooked in oil, and wasn t enough pita for for the huge portion so definitely order extra and the shrimp was battered and deep fried. But the beef and chicken was spot on, especially with tatziki and the rice pilaff was go good. But all in all one of the better places to get take out in ft Mac. I highly recommend.

Reading all these good reviews is shocking to me because the one time I got food here the doanir meat was all burnt and not edible, the Sharma platter was poorly made and also no up to par with places like cedars.

I have been ordering from this place all week through SkipTheDishes trying different meals and today I made the trip myself for pickup. Falafel wrap is delicious,my sister had the beef donair and said it was great. I tried the fish and chips and the fish is moist with a crisp and well seasoned coating and fries are also delicious and crispy. Calamari is fresh, seasoned and fried to perfection topped with chopped onions and served with that delicious tzatziki sauce on the side. The owner is the friendliest person I have met. Room for improvement would be to throw in some napkins and utensils as I was planning to eat outside.

Had the donair. Started off being very delicious. However, the more I ate, the saltier it got. I like salt, but found it too salty. I think the extreme salt was just my experience. NY brother had a donair, from there, the same day and his was not salty. I will go here again, to give it another try. Hopefully next time, my experience is different.
