store could be cleaner.

One of the best burgers I ve ever had! Friendly staff good conversation Food

Always a great Donaire at Sams. Best Donaire on town and great value.

Best donairs in Alberta!!

The best donairs in Red Deer amazing service too

Best donair in Central Alberta! Please do not ever move!

Must try! The biggest and the most delicious donair, service is incredible, you can t miss this place.

i hadn t been here in a long while, i m glad to see it s still going strong and still making great burgers and donairs.

When do work in Red Deer I love going here for a treat. Great donairs

Great local spot, I never get a donair anywhere else!

Delicious food, the staff was super friendly and omg the the portion of food I got for the price I paid was INSANE!! you get a lot of bang for your buck here! The Elvis plates were also a nice touch

Great service and great food

Very, very, large Donair, lots of meat, tastes great! The lady running the place is a sweetheart too.

You never really know if youre gonna get to eat here and they just close whenever they want, showed up at 5 today after driving an hour into the city and they were closed up and walking out the door. Makes zero sense. Glad we drove all the way into the city again though

Thank goodness we brought a teenager. We would have been embarrassed otherwise *grin*. Delicious and very good value. Clean bathroom.

Very generous portions!

Loved it. Great price. Delicious.

This place is amazing and I am very satisfied with my donair lunch. Great customer service and it s also affordable. I recommend.

Best donation!

Best Donair on the west coast! The lovely lady running the place makes amazing food!! Always fresh and everything is authentic. I purchase food from Sams on a weekly basis and its always consistently delicious! Highly recommended!!!

This was my first time visiting Sams Donair, I highly recommend it 5/5! Easily one of the best Donair sandwiches that Ive ever had (and Ive had many..). All ingredients were fresh and the meat was incredibly flavorful topped and off with their delicious in-house made Donair sauce. Excellent customer service. Will definitely be back very soon!

The best donair in Red Deer city with exceptional customer service. Highly recommended .

This is by far the best Donair in town the lady that makes it makes it with care. Parking can sometimes be a problem during lunch hours do there only being about 10 spots this it but what it lacks in size it makes up for in taste I have been too many Donair shops and this may be the only one I have never had a bad Donair at. The prices are great they even have a lunch deal and a Donair Burger a must try

This is hands down the best Donair in all of Red Deer. We love coming here. The owner is so unbelievably generous with her portions, and the service is just incredible all around! I cannot recommend this place enough to anybody in Red Deer. I ve never had a better Donair in my life, and that s coming from someone who lived on the Mediterranean for most of his life.

Ive been going here for years and it has always been my favorite for donairs. The Owner, she greets us warmly, we get our order quickly and its always delicious and full of garlic.

By far the best donairs in town.

I should of posted a review years ago. The donairs are amazing, the owner loads them up and you really get great value for your money. Dont waste your money, eat here you wont regret it.

Meat is pretty good, portions are crazy, prices are what makes this place great, it takes a lot to fill me up and I got fed well for 15 dollars. Food is an 8/10 but the price makes this a 9/10

Incredible quality with even better service, simply the best donair and homemade sweet sauce in Red Deer!

Absolutely the best in the city. Theres no comparison!

Amazing! These were the biggest donairs I have ever had! The large extra meat was insane in the amount of meat they give you. Looking forward to going back.

I have been to Sams several times. The food is delicious and the service is very good.

Excellence Donair Awesome From Deaf guys

OMG the biggest donair we have ever had! I thought the medium was the extra meat this is the biggest bang for our bucks!!! So good! HUGE SERVING! We will be back!

Large donair was like an XL. Very generous portion and tasted good!

What a donair. Like 3 meals in one. Lasted me all day.

Haven t been in here in a while, but still the same awesome food!! Love this place thank you

Delicious Donair and Shwarma!! With so much meat...

That Donair was...AMAZING! Couldnt believe the weight of it, you definitely get your moneys worth here!

Best donair ever and EXTREMELY friendly people. Feels like walking into a home it was so nice! 10/10

Absolutely delicious donairs! Haven t had one in over 2 years after getting food poisoning from busters donair. I will definitely be back to Sam s!!

This has to be the best donair I have had in western Canada. A medium donair is the size of an extra large anywhere else. Prices are great and so are the people.

These guys are awesome. Have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience.

If you know what a good donair consists and tastes like then avoid this place. Avoid red deer all together and head to Edmonton

Cancelled an order after waiting 20mins.

One of the Better Donair you will get in Red Deer, No sure how people say its bad they are trolls with zero taste buds. Great Food great portions you will not leave in impressed compared to others in city. They give tons of add ones toppings

Good food, quick service. I eat lunch here at least once a month.

Best place in Red Deer for Falafel! Such a lovely owner, she will make you feel like an old friend coming over for lunch.

Excellent donair go often just had a Donair plate so good a little piece of food paradise!!

With no exaggeration, Sams Donair has the best donairs Ive ever had, for a lower price than most other places.

Always tasty

Wonderful woman working there!!! Makes amazing food, best donair I have ever had! Thank you thank you thank you!

An amazing Donair place! Great helpings of meat with every Donair. Get the special, youll be fed for two meals at least. Dohnia is absolutely wonderful and friendly. Please support this great business if you can!

Sams Donair had the best donair in town. With the best prices and nicest owner!

Best Donairs ever!!!!! So so good and the portion is huge. This place is a must try for everyone!

Best donair in red deer. Great value. Tons of meat.

Best donair Ive ever had!!!! The portions are HUGE! very cheap price, you are basically getting two whole meals and thats only the medium size!!! I dont even want to think of the large size or the large size with extra meat! Please try sams, Dunia is a lovely, generous lady with a beautiful story. Her baklava is to die for, not too sweet, just perfect <3

Best donairs, falafel, salads, baklava, everything! Incredible portion sizes for great prices. Dunia the owner is one of the most generous, hospitable, and kind-hearted people I have ever met. You can tell by her amazing service that she values each customer and genuinely wants to be your friend! I will come back here every time I m in Red Deer.

The best donair Ive eaten it looks expensive but the amount and quality is completely worth it.

The donaires here are so good! And they are PACKED full; come in with an empty stomach.

HUGE donairs 9.50 for a medium donair, easily can feed two if two people could eat a single donair.

Alright everyone if I could give more then a 5 star I would cut this place is bagging great service great food man just over all a great place Highly recommend this place

The best place in town for Donair and special treats, this is my second time here and i always feel spoiled. the best prices, the best quality, the largest portions in town, and the most exceptional customer service

Top Notch. Easily one of the best.

They make a pretty tasty donair, however I feel its way too much meat and not enough veggies. Its still great though and they season the meat very well. Could use a bit more sauce too.

Stop by Red Deer looking for a quick snack and came across Sams Donair. The owner is friendly and welcoming, food is amazing. Will definitely come back even if is a 3 HR round trip for me.

One of the best service given in town. Would recommend the place.

Nice place and the associate working there was too friendly. Loved it

The lady was very nice and gave us the baclava for free and my mom had an argument with her to let my mom tip. Over all great place, good staff, great food.

fantastic food

Great spot. The food is amazing and fantastic customer service.

Im in town from Edmonton and lots of people I asked said SAMS donair was the best donair place, huge portions, great service so I had to go. And It was awesome almost didnt finish the medium. What a little gem that donair shop. The lady is amazing. Give it a try if you are looking for a donair that wont disappoint

Best donair in Red Deer. Great people and great food! So good!

Always worth what you pay! Love the food and the service

Lots of meat but very dry. Very little sauce and dripping in grease

Had the regular donairs from here and they were as big as many donair shops super donair and they were super fresh and tasted just fantastic. The owner is a super nice lady and offers great service and great prices for you get. I would recommend this donair shop to anyone looking for a great donair. Thanks for the great meal !!!!

Fresh Hummus, yum!

Love this place. Awesome food.

BEST DONAIR IN TOWN FOR THE PRICE! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHICH IS FREE!!! YUMYUMYUM

Amazing food in generous portions with wonderful customer service! All at great prices! Definitely Definitely recommend!! 5 stars!

Best donnair in Alberta! Along with nicest and friendliest service! Highly recommended!!!

Today I visited the restaurant for the first time, the reception was great and the restaurant very clean. As for the food, it was very delicious and I also got a box of sweets for free. From today this is my favorite restaurant and I advise everyone to visit it to get the most delicious food

The best Donair in red deer.

#1 donair in Red Deer. Always and forever.

Best Donairs in town. Such nice people too!

Love this donairs, great service, delicious taste, you feel special there.

Ive been to this place several times and they have good food with reasonable prices, but when I visited them today I realized that the food handlers were not wearing a mask. I told them that Id feel safer as a customer if they did, but they didnt respond to it positively. I think its peoples choice if they dont mind getting food from a place that may not be following safety guidelines, I just wanted to put it out there for those who might be ordering online and not aware of their food handling practice during the pandemic.

Love this place best donair great people tht run this place i used to know late sam he was amazing funny man rip sam

I consider myself a bit of a donair connoisseur. I have eaten at every donair place in Red Deer and this place ,without question, makes the best donairs in the city. Ironically theyre also one of the cheapest, seriously if you love donairs, eat here

Always great friendly service and tasty donairs! My favourite.

Great food, great prices and great service what more do you need.

The best DONAIR in central Alberta. Best Special Deal, DONAIR FRIES and POP for 10$ Theeeeeeee BEST.

Went today for the best Donair in Red Deer. A must try !!! Extremely yummy and the owner is such a wunderful and friendly Lady. We came all the way from Airdrie and will be back for sure soon again. Thank you Sams donair. Great service

Great flavour. Great price.

Been coming here for years amazing food great service best place in town for a good bite to eat good portions and the nicest smile you will ever see thank you for this great restaurant.

first time I was there very Delicious large portions .

Great portions! Best Donair in Red Deer, bar none.

This was basically a love letter in food language the chicken shawarma melted my heart after a horrible day at work. I have had plenty of chicken shawarmas but this chicken shawarma was easily the most amazing experience Ive had in a long time.

It is only 5:25pm and the owner already closed it when theyre supposed to close at 6pm. Very disappointed. It seems they dont want anyones business. I can see the owner cleaning the place down from where I am parked. This is very inconvenient. I will never come back to this place again.

We love the Sam donair. Best Mediterranean food. Portions are big. Owners are sweet heart. We specially visit from Calgary just to eat their food.

I love Sams donairs, it is always delicious and so filling. The medium donair with sweet sauce is my favourite.

Always a pleasure

My Favorite Restaurant, Awesome Staff and Service, Great Prices and Food

Best in Town !

This is a hidden gem in Red Deer. Excellent donair and the portions are huge. The owner is super friendly. Great customer service. Im from Calgary and will definitely stop by anytime Im in Red Deer.

This is a great place to eat! The prices are great! You get a lot for what you pay for! This is the place to go if you are really hungry and need enough food to last you all day. Portion sizes are good for that. The staff is amazing. I will definitely come back here again!

Donairs are HUGE & SO GOOD....you get tons of fries.....not all donairs in town are equal....if you want your moneys worth go here...others donairs are very small..these are EXTRA FULL...lovely ladies run this place..we always go here for a Donair...lasts me two days ...

EXCELLent. Best dolmas in town.

Been going here for years, always friendly, and the best donairs in town.

My donair was amazing. Huge and amazing.

Great donairs, great service

Best Donair so far, I ve tried their lunch special very generous portion and very delicious, and frat customer service.

Best Donair in Red Deer.

This is, in my opinion, THE best donair restaurant ever! Ive not tried the other dishes, but if I want a good donair, this is where I go. The food is fresh, the servings are gigantic, the price is amazing, and the service is personal. I have been going here for 14 years, and am yet to have a disappointing experience. The atmosphere and time spent was very enjoyable everyone was very helpful as I do not like the donair sauce and do like to have extra onions and cheese on my donair and they were very accommodating with my choices. Enjoy!

Best donair in Alberta!

Delicious comfort food, the prices are cheap and the service is prompt.

I ordered a large falafel donair and it was so tasty that I was was going to return right away to order a 2nd one. Yummmm!!!! And the cherry on top was the staff.

This place has the best donair around!! Super friendly people and huge portions!!

Excellent food and love the ladies there. They always remember me and are so kind.

Good food, good service

Worst Donair ive ever tasted told them to give me extra sauce there was no sauce Donair taste expired and its very small and the owners are cheap! Do not recommend

Big, meaty donors, but not much for veggies.

The service was great. Quick and kind. The food was amazing. Delicious and a great portion for the price. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic food, very good portion size. Friendly staff, will visit again for sure.

Great food at an affordable price

Huge serving size and great crispy fries. Donair meat was also very tasty. $10 for a donair, fries and a drink. Dont let the medium label fool you, its a big sized donair!

We always enjoy the food here!

Best donair Ive ever had! Huge portions and incredibly friendly staff! Id suggest getting the medium beef donair with extra cheese and extra sweet sauce. The medium is very big, I could barely finish it on an empty stomach, but every bite was delicious! 11/10 would recommend! If you are in or close to Red Deer, this is a must visit!

Best Donair in town forever!!!! Im 250 pounds and always as hungry as a bear. Even on an empty stomach, I cannot finish a regular MEDIUM donair (they have a large size too). The meat is not only generous but some of the finest, heartiest and most authentic Lebanese food I have ever tasted. This shop belongs to a wonderful man and his family, who started the first donair shop in Alberta and eventually opened the first ever donair shop in Red Deer. You could say he pioneered this style of cuisine in Alberta. A man who has been serving Alberta (& me) with Donairs, Gyros & Shawarmas since the early 90s when I was just in diapers. Which is why I was so sad to learn he was recently deceased. However, I am here to inform you he lives on through his family and the generous portions, authentic taste and sense of hospitality has not and will never change. Please visit unless you like mediocre food which is also overpriced.

Food was really yummy! They give you more than your moneys worth. The woman running it this night was like super woman - she cooked, put meals together, took peoples orders, and cashed them out...all herself...all w a smile. Will def be going again and again!

Donair generous portions

Stellar food and service everytime!

Always delicious always made well. The woman who works there always remembers me :) shes very nice

Great Donair! We beat the rush at lunch. Was great to see it so busy. Donair was bursting with the amount of Meat. Very yummy!

First time going today, excellent service, woman very mannered and nice smile :) i cant believe how much food i get for 9.50, like i could eat for more than a day for sure and wow is it good

The reviews dont lie. The donair was one of the best donairs Ive ever had. For sure made my top 3 list of best doniars Ive had. The owner greets you when you walk into the place and literally loads the donair full of meat, sauce and veggies. A definite MUST place to go in Red Deer. (Its in caps, so you know I mean it)

Ridiculous huge portions of foods for an affordable price. I love this place

I had done my homework the previous night and noted the good reviews on Sam s Donair so I talked my mom into trying this place out as I am on holidays and don t have many opportunities to get a donair in the North. I ordered a large beef donair and my mom had the regular. When I went to pick them up at the counter my jaw almost hit the floor. The donairs were huge and I knew it was going to take a great effort to finish them off. We both tried our best but had enough left over for an afternoon snack. These donairs tasted great as we had the sweet sauce on them however I did read that some people like a mix of sweet with the garlic. It doesn t matter what sauce you put on these, you cannot find a better donair shop anywhere! Staff were extremely friendly and smiley, and the store and washrooms were very clean. I will stop here every time I ever make it back. AWESOME!!!

Best donair in town

Always friendly and a warm atmosphere for us

Couldnt believe the serving size, dont usually get more than I can eat. Excellent donair and quick service!!

Good, but the server can be moody

Great food and people are pretty awesome.

Great Donair

best Donair I have ever had...best deal...their medium Donair is a meal

Its our go to for our lunch dates, always great food we love the owners they are the best

Always great Donairs

Ive been going for years. Always lots of meat in the donair, with the option for extra. A local business that I like to support.

Love this place food always taste delicious and the amazing lady behind the counter always greets with a smile and a welcome. Price is fair for the portion it is always more then I finish.. Will return many times.

If this isnt a 5 star food for a price I dont know what elses could be...

Best place in town to get donairs.

I had my very first donair here. It was unbelievably delicious. I have nothing to compare it to but my fiance, a ssasoned donair taster, said it was the best one he has ever had. Excellent price. Excellent food!

My single favourite donair in all the world. When I lived in Red Deer I would go regularly. Now I have to make a stop whenever I am back in Alberta. A wonderful family owned business that is worth supporting.

Great owners, large food portions for good price, food tasted amazing best donair I ve ever had !

Excellent in everything!

Awesome food Most amazing ladies

Very good food for a reasonable price

Great food with big portions, and the staff are super friendly. Highly recommended

The staff was so friendly! They gave us fries on the house for our little guy. The donaird are HUGE. A medium was plenty for 3 people to share. And the falafel donaird was excellent and had lots of veggies.

Great donairs really fresh ingredients and the staff is awesome.

The service was great. The food was great. The staff have a caring and helpful attitude for there customers and both ladies are beautiful.

Best donairs in red deer hands down!

Best donair ive had in red deer so far. Friendly owners and a large overstuffed donair that i couldnt even finish make this a must go to if you havent before

Best donairs in town hands down

Excellent!!

I love it for many things First the cashier is beautyfull Second the food is good flavor Thirth place and price are with sense Congratulations sams Donair i promisse come back soon...

Massive portions at a very reasonable price. Very tasty.

Amazing

The Best Donair in Alberta. Their beef/chicken Platter with Rice is one of a kind. Very quick service. The lady owner is very loving and Akways serves you with a big smile on her face.

Excellent food great staff

Sams Donair is ultimately the best Donair you can buy in central Alberta. The staff is wonderful, kind and courteous. The ladies always make us feel welcome! Also the amount of food you get for the value is amazing. 5 star two thumbs up for sure.

The rice kabob and salad is a no-no. Maybe sharwarma was good, according to those whom we went together.

Food was at par, plus forget about timings if you are more than 4 ppl

It was so damn good I m still dreaming about it 900km away. Please open up shop in Nelson BC. I ll help. Lol.

Very impressed with the food and the owner..was sitting there when a man came in asking to trade hand made jewelry for a sandwich..the owner asked if he was hungry and made him a donair sandwich free..made my day and tipped a bigger tip ..very good people

Best Donaire in town, Delicious and reasonable prices.

Lunch time place to be, tasty donair!

Largest Donaire ever.

yum

Great food and its freshly made too!

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch while we were downtown Red Deer. We had driven by this place probably a hundred times but we finally had a chance to go in. I got a medium beef donair with all the fixings. They have sweet, tzatziki, and garlic sauce. Usually at donair places I get both sweet and tzatziki, but I got the sweet and garlic. The helping was huge. I a am 6 2 and 205 lbs and I can eat quite a bit, and the medium donair filled me up. The portion of meat was very generous and tasty, with out much spice heat to it. The lettuce and veggies were fresh and cold and crisp. Overall it was a delicious lunch. As to the location it does look a little run down. It needs a thorough cleaning in the corners where a standard regular clean would miss. A fresh coat of paint would liven the place up quite a bit. I would buy a donair here again for sure as the price was very good for the amount of food.

Sams is a fantastic Donair Place you get more than you ever expected for what you pay

Great service and great food. Medium do donair is huge.

if I had to marry a donair Id go there !

Food was good, service was friendly.

Rob and I had the best and biggest medium size Donair weve ever ordered. I will recommend Sams place to my family and friends. We loved it!

So much meat :)

Fast, friendly and generous portions.

Always so good here. Huge delicious portions and the lady is so sweet.

This is hands down the only place to get a donair in red deer!

Ate there for the first time today. Had the special which was medium donair, fries, and a can of pop. Awesome amount of food for fair prices. Friendly staff. Ill be coming back again. Please keep it this way. Thanks!

Best donair!!!! Love this place

Not a lot of seating, its a cozy restaurant. The donairs are fantastic, great sweet sauce, and massive portions.
