Ordered the donair box, reminds me of Nova Scotia, the meat is flavourful and just like home, make sure you order extra donair sauce! Will definitely be ordering from here again.
Awful. Only wanted to serve me donairs since they were “easy” and was annoyed I would suggest ordering anything else. Started serving people that were behind me because I ordered pizza which was too difficult. Very slow and unfriendly. I really enjoy several Donair places across Edmonton and area, but this is the last one I would consider purchasing from.
Food is subpar. Owner needs to learn how to slice the meat. It’s a sad fall from Grace compared to what the place was before the new owner got hold of it. Sad really. You were wise to delete your reply. The fact of the matter is, under the original owner, I would drive two hours round trip every Friday to pick up six jumbos for my family and friends. I wouldn’t even consider crossing the street for this place now.
Pretty great donair! Stopped by the other day for a quick bite and definitely enjoyed it. Pretty good price and great service! Would come back.
Came in to order tonight around 6:30pm with my partner, we ended up ordering 3 super donairs. I have to say first time trying this place and the donairs are delicious 😁 and the staff is super friendly. We will for sure be back!
Literally blows my mind “best donair” - reviews Man you guys need to go to Edmonton to try a real Donair for once. These are absolutely so far from a proper donair, tried 1 every year from here, still never change and never good. Even with extra sauce supposedly on donair and some sides, dryer then ever with minimal flavor….these reviews are brutal and so misinformed. Also $22 for a jumbo, $16-17 in Edmonton by the way
Got a regular donair 2 person combo. Dined in. Place was clean. Donair was good, though should have asked for less sweet sauce as I am not a donair pro and it was messy to eat. Just a random drive by eating.
First time eating a donair outside of Edmonton. Pushed my lunch back to the end of the day and had to get a donair right away. I couldn't wait till I was back in Edmonton. J's was about 2 mins away and had good reviews. Shop is very clean and presentable, lone staff member was very friendly and she answered all my questions and built a well crafted donair. Price was fair, the regular donair was slightly lower than of a jumbo in Edmonton and was bigger than most jumbos in Edmonton. I noticed that my donair meat was already cut and stored in a warming tray and was steamed before being built. Not common but I've had decent steamed donairs before but prefer a quick fry on a flat grill. Donair flavour was good and spicy, sweet sauce was generous and tasty. Only other sauce option was tzatziki. Again, built well and generously packed with long strips of meat. The overall experience was really good but I have to say that something needs to be done about the overcooking of the donair meat on the rotisserie spit. The meat was dry as shoe leather, lost most of its beautiful brown complexion and obviously overcooked. No amount of steaming could have saved this poor donair. Was only able to handle about half of this and tossed the rest. Sure this may have been an off day considering the mainly great reviews, I'm willing to try this place out again if I'm in the area.
Super friendly, awesome food.
A meat lovers dream. Soooo tasty.
Donair was solid, onion rings sub-par. Very nice lady. Washroom required attention.
Precy is the best chef of all time. It s like the scene from ratatouille where the guy eats the food and gets transported into the 5th dimension. It s like that but everyday. I used to be depressed and jobless before eating her food but now I have a job and I m no longer depressed Ty Percy for curing my depression.
Amazing spot
Never an issue they have the best deep fried mushrooms, donairs are great
Very nice people, and delicious food. Definitely worth going to.
The owner Maroun is lovely. Great food, great service!
BEST DONAIR EVER!!! OWNERS AND STAFF ARE ALSO THE BEST:)
Donair was so good I will definitely be back:)
Amazing Donair! Best in Spruce Grove for sure! Good portion and flavourful, Food
Donairs are great, didnt have a good experience with the pizza however, lacking sauce and I bit into an olive pit from the pizza. Changed my review, after skip driver didnt deliver my order twice the person who answered the phone said it wasnt their problem. Last time ordering from here..
Absolutely the best donair in Spruce!
Personable staff, great food
Friendly, sociable staff, amazing food. Definitely will be returning
Amazing food. Owner was awesome and super friendly. 100% will be back.
Bet fries in spruce grove area, he is the nicest guy you ever meet, always makes my day
Tasty food
This is the best donair in spruce grove! Perfect spice in the meat and the sause is just Plus the owner really cares !
Best donair in Spruce hands down
Best donairs in town hands down!! Portions are amazing and the people there are e even better! If you want a good donair come check this donair shop out!
Absolutely delicious
Use to love, love, love this place, but something changed. Their donair & cheese bites were the best things I have ever had with donair meat in them, but they just dont taste the same anymore. I thought it was just me but asked my wife, and she found them to be the same as I did. their donair sauce, though, is the same as they make on the east coast of Canada. If you are from yhe east coast and you are looking for what we use to get back home, this is the only place I have found that has the same sauce.. Food is good here, so give it a try.
Never got the lady s name but she is always working and makes the best poutine and is so sweet. Love coming here!
Best Donair in Spruce!! And the lady working is pretty amazing as well
Thank you all around Excellent!
A great donair for a great price! You gotta get it here!
Great donair and even better service
Classic Donair place in Spruce Grove since 1999. Consistently a great Donair. Easy parking off Hwy 16A - grab a Donair on your way through!
Best donair Ive ever had. Will definitely be back
Excelent food, good portions and better prices, a goof place to stop when travelling
Not only was the guy making the donairs an absolute gem, the food was delicious as well! I will definitely be going back!
Typical Donair place. Friendly service.
Five years and six Donair shops, Jay s Donair still top of my charts. Every now and then I get a Donair and assorted sides from Jay s Donair shop in Spruce Grove. Today I have tried their pizza and it was pretty good highly recommended. good and friendly service quick and easy meal if you re on the go.
This is the only donair place I go to! Im willing to try new places but always come back here. The donairs cannot be beat! And Prezi is the absolute best! Always gives incredible service with a giant smile and a friendly chat. She makes my day everytime I go there! Maroun always cracks me up when I see him too! Love this place!
They are amazing! Sweet lady very kind and respectful. Awesome owner.
Many establishments screw Donairs up - Not here. Best Donair hands down. The secret is in the sweet sauce (made in house) along with the steamed pita to soften it up and add a bit of chewy. Worth a long drive to support local business.
second and last time i ll buy from this place. burnt, very dry chicken, likely few days old. great sauce though.
All the donairs in spruce are good in my books. Js gets my top vote, been eating here for 20 years. Staff is the friendliest.
First I have to say the service was AMAZING! The lady was so nice, very talkative. Made it a wonderful experience! The food, was just as amazing. Wasn t messy or anything. Definitely will be coming back!
Best donair in spruce Grove!
Best donair for many miles around. Anyone who hasnt five starred Js donair, must be generally unhappy with their life. Look at how many 5 stars this location gets.
Delicious donairs. The seasoned meat is perhaps the best Ive had. I recommend getting double extra sweet sauce if you can. The regular donair is only $9.55 and very large and filling. Really friendly owner and great customer service. EASILY the best Donair place in Spruce Grove.
Just not that good of a donair. The woman who took my order completely biffed it and never made the combos I asked for, just the donairs and side of fried mushrooms. The meat in the donair was cold and hard, despite being steamed. The mushrooms were good, and so were the mushrooms.
We ordered for the first time from Js Donair, the boys ordered beef donairs and I got the chicken shawarma unfortunately I wont recommend it the chicken was so hard you cant even bite through it. The donairs were ok wouldve been better with more sauce.
This local dine in and dine out donair restaurant went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with my order. The owner is extremely kind. I do recommend this restaurant.
Donairs were fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. The owner was friendly and made sure I didnt have any allergies to what he was preparing. The restaurant was very clean and everything was sanitized. Definitely will be going back soon.
Good donair with sweet or tzatziki sauce. Options to customize the toppings. I like jalapenos and pineapple to give it a sweet and spicy zing.
Really rude woman who works there on Friday evenings, you dont need to roll your eyes when someone ask for stuff on the side.
I love it, its delicious and fresh
Im not usually the type to write online reviews, but I have been a loyal Js patron for alot of years, far prior to the new location. As i will admit the prices are on the high side quality service and large portions always made me happy to spend the bucks. It pains me to say my last two trips to Js have been sub par at best. the latest was just two days ago. I placed my order online for in store pick up. The order was not ready when my girlfriend arrived to pick up, no big deal as it can be busy. the new girl working totally messed up the order but as we live 30 mins west of town we had no idea until we got home. My donair was ok but i always ask for light on the tzatziki sauce as i hate an over saucy donair. When i opened mine there was so much sauce that the paper wrapping was saturated and i had to eat a soggy donair, not up to par at all, the second donair was ordered with sauce on the side, also was saturated in sauce and very soggy. although the sauce on the side was in the bag. I had also ordered a donair freis supreme with added olives and onions, when i opened it i had cold fries with olives and onions and nothing else, who wants that. No meat, no cheese, The fries i ordered to go along with second donair seemed good, however an order that used to almost overflow out of the take out container barely made it to half full. Very disappointing, as stated above Ive always been happy to pay the prices at Js because the quality and portions were well worth it. This was an extremely disappointing trip to Js for the second time in a row. I dont know if it is a new staffing issue but please dont ruin my favorite donair shop with lack luster soggy donairs and overpriced tiny portions. Bring back the Js way. Thats what made it so great. Was in touch with owner, he gave a full refund for our order and offered his contact info to make sure the next order is up to standards. I upped the star rating because he didnt even hesitate to make things right. that is the service that has kept me a Js customer for all these years. Thanks for caring enough to make it right.
reheated meat not freshly shaved off the spit. not recommended .taste was ok
I miss the woman who had worked there for 8 years. Whenever I went to get a donair if the owner was working I would go eat somewhere else. His prices are very high and he would put very little meat on the donair. I would go in if she was there. She would make a much better donair with the amount of meat that match the price. Unfortunately the woman is gone and I now must find another Donair place.
Great donairs, good pricing, clean and friendly environment
Best donair Ive ever had. And poutine was delish. Thanks Sirenity
Best donair and sweet sauce ever, great owner and staff. Very clean restraunt
Always good food. Friendly staff
Best donair place in Spruce Grove and very nice staff!! We love it, specially my husband..
First time having a Donair there and it was amazing! So tasty cant wait to try again, also the onion rings were delicious!
Best donairs I have tasted so far in Alberta
Precious is awesome. Always super friendly and happy. Food is amazing. The donair bites are unreal!
Once again look how greatly cooked the donair meat is I ordered a box for me first time, fed my 2 little Yorkies plus me Kingz of donairs= js dinner
Yummy donairs, good size
Service is so friendly and the food is fresh and amazing. Clean and tidy place too! 10/10 would eat here again.
Would love some pineapples and a frying pan to make the meat extra crispy!
Weak donair, pita not fresh, meat not crispy saving grace was the meat being spicey added some flavor. Should be pretty easy to make good donair its only 3 ingredients, not impressed. Ps good compared to other Stoney locations.
My husband and I decided a while ago we would find the BEST donair shop in Edmonton and area. We have been to more then ten donair shops since the quest of the best donair. Taystees used to be our number one. Then we came to Jays donair and the first bite was amazing, and some how the last bite was even better. We have been to other donair shops since and nothing can compete to Jays wonderful service, amazing donair meet, and fantastic home made sweet sauce. No donair can compaire to Jays. I will recomend this place to everyone!
The best donair in Parkland County! Try it, you wont be disappointed!
Yum yum yum!
Always a good experience eating from here. The staff are amazing. Best donairs in Spruce!
The best cooked donairs in spruce grove, the donair bites are my favorite snack item , best place to get a donair early in the morning or evan later in the day. Always a big fan for Jays 4 Life.
Great donairs and good service.
I have been to every donair shop in Spruce Grove and Stony Plain and Js is easily the best around
Best donairs anywhere!!!! tried soooooo many others in Edmonton but nothing compares... drive 45 mins just to come here...
Owner is Gem. Will be back again been coming to js since 2007
Still the best. Always the best. Been feeding me for 15 years.
Stopped at Js Donair in Spruce Grove for lunch with my lovely Mrs. We each had a donair poutine!! You knocked it out of the park!!!!!!!!! Thanks J
Had issues with the online delivery order. Owner delivered himself and the donairs were delicious. Spicy and saucy. This restaurant has our business above any others any day. Thank you
Best Donair and Donair poutine in the area
Real tasty great service
The original and still undefeated best donair in spruce grove

Awesome food, great service! A true owner who cares
best donair shop around town, fresh food and great staff
Great food, great staff.
Great authentic donair. We buy the meat by the box to enjoy at home!
They do them right, good value, my goto Donair place in Spruce Grove.
Very friendly guy very clean facility Excellent donairs
Great donair, highly recommend!
I placed the order online and when I came in, it was ready to go! Great service and decent prices. The donair was absolutely delicious. Best in town Id say. I will be going back again soon.
Portions are good, with a decent proportion of meat. Options for condiments are slim, but adequate (lettuce, tomato), and there are only 3 sauce options - sweet, tzatziki, and sriracha. I prefer a combination of garlic and chili sauce on my donair or kebab. Also, there is only one meat (beef?). I had the tzatziki, and it was pretty good. Next time I would go for the sweet sauce. While options are limited, it was still a decent donair. If youre in Spruce Grove and you need one, Js should hit the spot.
Great food and lovely staff including the owner.
Great donairs, friendly staff, awesome donairs
I always stop here for a donair when I am in Spruce grove. Best donair place. The owners recognize me, and remember my order when I come in. Tzatziki sauce here is the best and the deep fried pickles are soo good! I have been going here for years. Love this place. If I could give them more stars I would!
The best donairs!
Our favorite donair place in Spruce. They are closed a lot though it seems.
Best donair Ive had in the area
My son and I really enjoyed our donairs. The lady behind the counter is a gem!
By far the best donairs in Parkland County!
Wasnt impressed
Way too expensive for what they have and also tastes plain not worth the price or the time
Delicious donairs and a super friendly staff!
Love it .. best Donair in town hands down
All time favorite donair place. I add both sweet and tzatziki sauce. Great staff.
Good service and good food :)
Always great service. Always great food. Been going here for 10 years.
The super donair was really good! Lots of donair meat. Great customer service too!
So worth it! Great food.
The absolute best Donair period.
Best Donair. He says second best. Have made special trips 450+km to eat here, you should too.
Best Donair I ve had in Edmonton.
Just like everywhere else the portion size is getting way smaller and the price is going way up!
Been coming here for years love it!
Good food limited parking
Donairs were fantastic. Very good service
Great service and tasty Halifax style donair. Would recommend.
Best donairs in spruce hands down.
Best Donair in town, good prices, clean space and Best Donairista too!
Small,cozy, fair priced, and delicious
Best Donairs in town. Always good service
Was on a quest to find the best donair in Spruce Grove and I believe I found it! Great value for money, and both the meat and sweet sauce were on point.
Order the regular donair & Fried mushrooms and a can of pop. Was pretty disappointed when it all came to 21$. Sure I ll pay 10$ for a donair, but for the same price, you get twice the size of donair at Atomic Pizza I s Stony Plain. The mushrooms were the kicked. I counted 14 SMALL fried mushrooms that they charged 8.50$ for!!! I was astounded. I could have went to Edmonton and gotten a full meal at The Cactus Club, or similar places for that price. It was also 2 regular donair for 12$. Might as well of gotten the two donair and paid 2$ for one had the lady let me know it was that deal. Either way I feel as if the donair was small for the price and the mushrooms were about 4$ overpriced. I ll stay with Atomic.
Best donairs ever
I love Js. My favorite donair anywhere.
Best donairs in the grove
Delicious!
First order was messed up (it happens) and owner fixed it immediately, which we very much appreciated. Food is delicious and portions are excellent. New fave donair place!
really good food , owner is great. Well worth a try
Best value for my money .
Best donair in Spruce Grove
Ordered a donair here once, thinking I found a new jackpot for donairs. I asked for the largest donair and was very disappointed with the price. Food was average, but, the worker was pleasant. Actually enjoyed the donairs at Busters alot more and the price was way cheaper.
Owner was awesome and generous. Ill definitely be back the next time I have a donaire craving !
Honestly the best donair meat Ive ever had. Sweet sauce is good and the fries are tasty. Couple dollars higher than most donair places, as far as price goes, but worth it.
Delicious food
Too expensive, charges 150 for cheese, extra 150 for fries instead of chips in the combo, 175 for a small dish of sweet sauce to dip my fries into. 15 bucks for a combo thats more than most, small portion of fries too btw. As far as the donair it was ok, but no pickled turnip or pink pickles , no garlic sauce, I did like that they streamed netflix while I ate tho. Would not recommend unless everywhere else is closed.Girl at counter was very pushy and actually jokes that I was cheap when I said I didnt want cheese, then laughed in my face when I explained that I have freys syndrome and require more napkins as I sweat while I eat. Restaurant was nice and clean and service was fast so 2 stars for a meh donair, netflix and clean,place.
Tried the special, and boy was it special. Great Donair. At first I thought how can a Donair be good with so few ingredients, but this place has amazed me. Highly recommend.
The donairs were awesome. Also had the yam fries. The best Ive had in a long time
Best donairs in Edmonton
The donairs are delish. The lady who made and served our donairs had a warm smile and a wonderful personality to go with that smile.... The shop was clean and tidy... Definatly stop by next time you are in Spruce Grove....
Was awesome highly recommend there donairs and mac & cheese bits
Place has awesome donairs, they cook the pita and the meat extra in front of you . Very clean and good servings and some great sides aswell
Our favorite donairs in the Grove
Foods always good. Service is always great. Place is always clean. Best donairs around in my opinion. Half the ones around spruce grove taste like cat food or the sweet sauce is sour cream. But at j s the sweet sauce is sweet sauce and the meat is meat! Cheese is $1.50 but you get a fair amount for the price. Only place I ll go for a donair
The best donair place in the Edmonton area. The sweet sauce is just exquisite!
Extraordinary
The best Donair ever
Very clean place. You can tell someone takes pride in the place. Well done!
Best Donair house in the west!! Tried most places in Spruce Grove and Edmonton and this place comes out on top, great service, nice, friendly, helpful lady behind the counter. Everyone should try this place at least twice!! Will now be my only Donair stop.
Get the Jumbo Donair with sweet sauce!
Still as good as it was 8 years ago...
Awesome Donair, I find myself to be a Donair connoisseur and I found myself getting donair here three times in one week, normally to get donair this good you have to go into Edmonton and for people in farm country that can be quite the trip I highly recommend this donair 5/5
Great food and service
Hands down the best donairs in Edmonton and area. I drive there from Beaumont when I am craving a great donair.
A personal favourite for several decades, from the original owner to the new this has always been my go to place for Donairs, even now living on the east side of edmonton, I always try to make a trip back to the Grove just to satisfy my cravings at least once a month. Always recommend to all my friends
Best donair in Spruce Grove BY FAR. Great service as well.
Great donair. Good size and great taste. Good service too.
Amazing high-quality donairs & great service! Love the new location!
Never open. Would be nice if they were open for lunch. Or at any of theyre posted business hours.
Delicious Donairs. Its my new favorite Donair place in Alberta. :)
Mmmm mmmm great. The best donair around the capital region. As a matter of fact I am gonna have one for lunch today.
Maybe Ive been spoiled by a couple excellent donair places in Edmonton, but I found Js donairs to be just ok.
